*the other chanel... #modelmonday

***

Seems like one of my absolute favorite models is back to work.

After taking a hiatus [I'm actually not sure that she did; regardless] she is back on the scene!

And, with a name like Chanel Iman, you know she's destined to be a formidable fashion force.

“If I could, I’d have strawberry pancakes with whipped cream every morning, but during the week I eat fruit, yogurt, cereal, eggs, toast, and, of course, oatmeal.”- Chanel Iman.

Here's her amazingly chic cover story for June's edition of Harper's Bazaar Russia.

Enjoy!

Isn't that last shot just gorgeous? I love it!

[Can't believe she's younger than me! *grumble*]

*Buy or Bye?!: @rihanna

***

Darlings, Queen B reigned supreme in our last edition, but now it's time to put your voting fingers to use again.

Queen of controversial outfits, and ex-queen of Instagram, Rihanna, covers the July/August issue of Harper's Bazaar Arabia.

While the title "The New Modesty: Cover up in Style" suggests a bad girl gone good, we all know Rih loves to bare it all.

Do you believe this Bajan beauty and recent CFDA Style Icon Award recipient has changed her ways? Or are you not buying it?

...harem action realness...

I think she slays...but it's not for me to decide.

Let your clicker do the talking.

*Buy or Bye; Beyoncé Edition

***

After two relatively successful 'Buy or Bye?!' posts, a small hiatus and some very random 'summer' weather, I thought my girl Beyoncé and I should reward you with a treat!

Well, my treat to you is Beyoncé's Summer '11 cover of 'Dazed and Confused,' almost-eating an ice-cream on a sunny day [much like today]...

...and your treat to me is responding to this poll!

Let your fingers do the talking kiddies!

Are we hot and sticky for what Queen Bey has to offer or should she pack up her melty mess and take that ice-cream truck elsewhere?!

Surprise!

It's me again! Took another brief hiatus, but now I'm back to provide you with all your fashion needs!

It's been a hectic past two weeks and, between applications and paperwork and baby-showers (oh my!), my creative energies have unfortunately been elsewhere.

But, no fear! I'm all here now...both with you and my internship (which is winding down now).

...and by winding down, I mean lots of computer work..which everyone knows isn't my favorite...

Alas, it must be done!

So, while I 'enjoy' some technology...you enjoy some Karlie and Daft Punk...which is sort of related right?? Cause they have that 'Technologic' song....

...no?

Behind-the-scenes footage?


Fierce model. Funky musicians. That should be enough to tide you over...

Till then...have a great day kiddies!

Back for more pretty?

If you insist...

Dress by Thom Browne; SS13.

Here's Czech supermodel, and former VS Angel, Karolina Kurkova on the June 2013 cover of Vogue Ukraine.

And, cause I'm missing the beach....her fun-in-the-sun, mermaid inspired, summer editorial.

Gorgeous, no?

Hmm...makes me wish I was by the ocean running around in really expensive clothes...

Sigh. One can only dream. 
 

“At the beach, life is different. Time doesn't move hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the currents, plan by the tides, and follow the sun.” ― Unknown

“The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choice-less as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea.” ― Anne Morrow Lindbergh

“To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.” ―
Isaac Newton

*meep*

So, here I am once again introducing a new element to this blog.

It's only going to be a trial..and depending on kiddy participation will hopefully become a fun and regular feature.

The game is called "Buy or Bye!"

Here's a magazine cover followed by a quick-click poll...

...see where this is going?

Let's get to it then, starting with this month's issue of US Vogue!

Remember kiddies, vote on the cover not the mag!

Would you stop and shop? Or keep on trucking? Let your clicker do the talking!
