Icon As Muse: Elle Fanning
There's something about Elle Fanning. Not only is she an incredibly gifted actress, she also has a knack for creating outfits that send the fashion world into an excitable frenzy. The likes of Burberry and Marc Jacobs certainly seem to be inspired by her outfit choices. Elle loves to dress girly. She wears a lot of vintage inspired pieces and at times adds some masculine influenced pieces, a la Alexa Chung, into her wardrobe. I love Elle's style. She really cleverly constructs outfits and doesn't take fashion too seriously, she does like to have fun with it. Today I thought I'd show you how to recreate some of Elle's fashion and beauty looks. Enjoy!

Elle in Miss Vogue, Australia
Warehouse Baby Satchel Bag, Cumulus Ring, Camo Jacquard Shirt, Siouxsie Sunglasses, Givenchy Black Leather Pencil Skirt, High Vamp Loafers, Strappy V-Neck Cami.
♥ I love the combination of the pencil skirt, printed shirt and the loafers above. It's very preppy but you can always make this less serious with fun accessories and chic glasses which Elle often wears. I love that ring as well, it's so cute!

Editorials & Pretty Trinkets #2-The Teen Vogue Edition
Hi everyone, I thought I'd mix things up a bit this month and try to do one non-beauty post a week. I do love writing about beauty but I think every once and a while it's nice to step outside your niche and mix things up a bit. Longtime readers of the blog will know I've been a fan of Teen Vogue magazine and the work they do since my teens really, and I still am now. Today I thought I'd do a follow up post to this one from January. These are some of my favourite editorials from their archives. Enjoy!

Monday Muse
Is it wrong that today's individual can be classified as a 'muse' yet be so youthful? Possibly, but I like to think inspiration like magic, can be found anywhere. You just have to believe in its existence first!
Over the last year or so the world has been under Elle's spell, particularly the fashion circles.

It's not just Elle's impeccable fashion sense which has myself and countless others captivated though. She isn't just your typical thirteen year old, as emphasised here in an interview with Tavi Gevinson of 'Style Rookie'.
Here's an excerpt:
One of my favorite things about that movie [Virgin Suicides] is their teenage bedroom and all the little details. Do you have any little keepsakes or favorite parts of your room like that?
Every year I get a new Barbie calendar and there are all these old Barbie dolls on the calendar, and I’m very obsessed with schedules and everything, so I love writing in different things that I have each day on it. So that’s one of my favorite things in my room. I also am obsessed with Marilyn Monroe, and I went to an auction and got her face cream and powder. Her actual one! (She has Marilyn Monroe's face cream and powder! How awesome is that??)
Did I mention she's also one of Rodarte's muses and stars in this video above? As if we needed any more reason to love her!

Procrastination Nation
Or as Ron Weasley (on screen) puts it "She really needs to sort out her priorities".
Here's a collection of images that I've come across over the course of the week, and fallen in love with for various reasons.
Enjoy!

Fashion-A Year in Review. Part 1.
As expected, the fashion world was definitely not let down in 2011. Designers did not let the economic climate affect the runway schedule, with Marc Jacob's final show for Louis Vuitton being presented around a merry-go round display. There have been so many highlights over the year in Fashion that I've decided to split this post into two parts, with the latter coming next week.

So, without further ado, here are the first five moments of 2011's fashion calendar.
1) Kate Moss' Wedding.
-The fashion event of the year, conveniently documented for Vogue's September Issue was what we all waited with bated breath to see. Thankfully Mario Testino delivered, as realised in his beautiful photographs of the magical day. Props must also go to John Galliano who designed Kate's stunning wedding gown, featuring embroidered phoenix plumes and layers of tulle.
2) Savage Beauty.
-Alexander McQueen's passing last year left an enormous hole in the heart of the fashion world. The 'Savage Beauty' exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art earlier in the year was the perfect opportunity for us all to marvel at his exquisite designs. Those who weren't able to get there in person needn't fret, a book was published in conjunction with the exhibit, and can be found here or in the Met's official online store.
3) Youthful Fashionistas.
-2011 was the year of youth as muses, particularly among designer look-books and editorial spreads in the fashion glossies. With the likes of Elle Fanning for Marc Jacobs, Rodarte, Vogue and Lula as well as Hailee Steinfeld for Miu Miu, a fair number of feathers were ruffled and many of these adverts were banned around the world. However, for the less fashionably conservative, it was purely about the clothes and accessories, as it should be.
4) Rodarte Reminiscing.
-After starting the year with designs for Natalie Portman's costumes in 'Black Swan' and a colloboration with Opening Ceremony, 2012 will no doubt be another extremely promising year for Rodarte.The Mulleavy sisters never cease to disappoint, and their latest collection is proof of that. With inspiration being drawn from Van Gogh and Sleeping Beauty (the Disney film), prints were then screened and digitally altered making them almost unrecognisable.
5) Trips to the Seaside.
-It seems a lot of designers may have been spending some time at the beach, or perhaps indulging in Disney's 'Little Mermaid' films. Either way, seaside hues and symbols from the deep were appearing on the likes of Elie Saab and Chanel's runways. Florence Welch of 'Florence and the Machine' fame even serenaded fashion's elite at Chanel's show from the comfort of a clamshell. Nautical nonsense? I think not!

Just a short post today. Elle Fanning and Karlie Kloss are two of my favourite editorial girls of this day and age. Elle, because there's just something so ethereal and magical about her which I love and Karlie, for her natural American charm, whilst refraining from becoming too commercial.
