Less than a month until the very best in fashion will hit the shelves: the September issues. Posing in the footsteps of Carrie Bradshaw, Kate Moss will be gracing the cover of American Vogue with a ten page spread of designer wedding gowns. It is an appropriate follow-up to her real-life nuptials and a perfect pick as fashion royalty for THE fashion issue of the year. The cover was shot by none other than Mario Testino, as was her wedding. Of the ten dresses she will wear, designers include Oscar de al Renta, Valentino, and Vera Wang. The most exciting part? Anna Wintour has had each design be custom-made for the supermodel. Keep a look out for a real life, fairy-tale issue.

Obsession #2
Right now, as I sit at home in America, the little treasures of Europe keep coming back to me. ALong with these is my number one obsession: Paris. I know it sounds so cliche and some people do not like Paris or the French, blah blah blah, but Paris is a place of dreams and complete allure. After seeing "Midnight in Paris," all I can think about is strolling along the Seine, exploring the streets, and sitting in the little straw chairs outside a cafe.
The movie was very Woody Allen, and not at the same time. The cast was quite a BIG mix that I would not have expected in a Woody Allen film, especially Owen Wilson. The music hit perfectly on Allen's style, but also how you look back at Paris thinking that music was playing. The costumes were fantastic and the reason I am writing this in the first place, my second obsession: 1920s fashion. Big surprise: I'm talking about clothes.
The era: 1920s/2010. The 2010 era: not so exciting in the costume department. The 20s was heaven. Well, my heaven. It has always been my favorite decade for fashion. Coco Chanel, willowy figures, slinky shift dresses, and the first time a woman's arms were shown in public. The hats, the sequins, the fringe were all there. I fell in love with the three dresses worn by the "lovely" Marion Cotillard. Her costumes grab your attention as much as her smoldering eyes. Well, maybe.

"Sharing creativity kindles creativity"
Given that I have a small obsession with Anthropologie, I cannot get enough of there new website: The Anthropologist. It is not necessarily the clothes and consumerism we all love, but there is no doubt that it stems from the beauty that the company constantly creates. The Anthropologist focuses on supporting and sharing all forms of inspiration from individual creativity.
Currently five artists are featured, varying from projects on the movement of a ballerina, to the construction of a fly fishing pole, to the simple beauty of a river. Take a look.

Another Kate Wedding
Today another British Kate married a rock star. Kate Moss that is, married The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince, in picturesque Costwolds, England. The small ceremony at St. Peter's Church had anything but a "small" bridal party. Her 15 little bridesmaids accompanied her in matching ivory dresses topped off with flower wreaths in their hair, including daughter Lila. Maid of honor and former casting agent, Jessica Hallet, wore a light blue Stella McCartney gown. As for the bridal gown, a controversial surprise.
Kate's dress was a custom-made, ivory vintage-style gown designed by John Galliano, accompanied by a 1920s antique, floor-length veil. Despite Galliano's recent discretions, he remains a close friend of the bride.

Four Months Later...
Having returned from London after six months, I can now get back on track with this. I removed myself from the blogosphere because I wanted to live my life there, not being so concerned with exposing it all on the internet. I even stopped writing for my London blog to give myself that freedom.
I just made some changes to the layout, so that's a good start...
