This post is definitely more than a little creepy but y'all probably know by now how much I absolutely adore January Jones (ultimate girl crush) and I've been promising a "why I love Jan Jones" post for ages so consider this the first installment.
Reason 1: She never does a bad cover. Ever.
BOOBS.
This last one is more than a little racy for a dreary Monday morning, but hells, LOOK AT THE RACK ON THAT! Fierce.
Plus, as Betty Draper, you've gotta admire her parenting style...
"Go bang your head against a wall."
Is it weird that this makes me love her more? It definitely is. If you haven't seen Mad Men you need to. IMMEDIATELY.
Some of you may well have seen this editorial when the May edition of ASOS Magazine popped through your letterbox this morning but I couldn't NOT post it here since Claire is my number 1 homegurl LIKE YOU DIDN'T ALL ALREADY KNOW (I only mention her in like every second post afterall...)
I'm thrilled to see 32-year-old Claire representing what I've always considered to be a very young, teen-targeted retailer like ASOS. Clearly still on her Homeland promo run, this latest editorial shows her at her best, looking relaxed, confident and radiant, and the accompanying interview - while not exactly ground-breaking - works well as a charming introduction for younger folk unfamiliar with her generalawesomeness. I wish they hadn't made her talk about TOWIE though. She's cool and relevant enough without shoe-horning that pointless quip in.
Styling wise I would have changed up that first tank top in the cover shot though, and maybe replaced it with something floral...? Not into that motif thing. But other than that the looks are spot on, especially the hair and makeup.
Love ya Claire! And loving how amazingly that video links this post to my last :)
I mean, yes, she looks smokin' hot, mainly because they've completely changed her entire look so much that it's hard to tell who it even is (no bad thing, I am NOT digging the blue hair stage at the moment. There's just something really UNCOOL about her that I can't put my finger on) HOWEVER, what excites me most about this sneak peek of the March cover is the bit where it says SARAH BURTON BY SARAH JESSICA PARKER.
Let's absorb.
Can you even imagine how good that interview will be? We all know SJP was the late, great Lee McQueen's close friend and ambassador for the brand - she can still pull off a McQueen on the red carpet like no one else - so I have massive expectations for this interview. Plus, she's funny, warm and witty and if anyone can coax the notoriously shy Burton out her shell, it's Carrie. Wait... SJP. Same difference, RIGHT?
I know SO many people will be falling over themselves to say how beautiful she looks, and she does, but is anyone else kind of sick of having her shoved in their face?
Right now the PR campaign for Miss Del Rey is about as subtle as a ten-ton truck. Despite the album being resolutely panned pretty much everywhere, it seems we (and Vogue) are more than willing to over-look that because, AW, SHE'S SO PRETTY!
Whaddya think?

OK, so this is a shameless reblog, but I can't stop looking at how beautiful Dakota fanning is on the February subscriber's cover of Elle UK...
Those matte, velvety pink lips and nails are to die for, no?
I've always loved Dakota Fanning's look. Although younger sister Elle is classically more model-esque, Dakota's features are interesting, and there's just something about her face that draws me in...
Definitely be keeping my eyes peeled for this when it hits the shops.
The latest issue of Wonderland magazine was launched on Friday with four of the best covers I've seen in a long LONG time.
They've been known to feature some pretty awesome/controversial/unexpected peeps on their cover including Katie Price, Alexandra Burke, Zac Efron, Tyler the Creator, Alexander Sarsgaard and Janet Jackson, but this time it's the turn of Uber-hip indie princess Lana Del Rey to join models Charlotte Free, Meghan Collison and Jesse Shannon.
BUT, which is your favourite?
Personally I'm struggling to choose between Lana and Charlotte's covers. Whaddya reckon, they're both dynamite, no?
I really like Wonderland magazine, y'all. I've mentioned it before when talking about the editorial Cher Lloyd did for them a while back and about Chloe Moretz's cover a while before that... But also it's just an all-round good mag.
Interesting, informative, fun, fashion-forward, but at the same time I don't feel like I'm being beaten around the face with COOLNESS (Vice, I'm looking at you), nor do I feel talked down to or patronised. Basically, I like the content AND the covers. Pick it up if you see it out and about, innit.
PEE ESS - If you haven't seen THIS blog, you have absolutley GOT TO, right now. Best. Thing. Ever. You're welcome!
Whilst in Venice last month, I picked myself up that iconic style bible that is Vogue Italia. Not just any old Vogue Italia, but the SEPTEMBER ISSUE of Vogue Italia. How many more times can I say Vogue Italia?
Anyway, Obviously it was the best 5 Euros I've ever spent in my puff! Absolutely massive, really more like a book than a magazine, it's totally packed to the rafters with the most stunning ads, editorials and features you've ever seen. Seriously.
None more so than the cover editorial of British model Stella Tennant channelling Ethel Granger - the woman who held the record for the smallest waist in the world - shot by Steven Meisel.
More ART than anything else, the collection of photos entitled The Discipline of Fashion are disturbing at first but ultimately I found them fascinating and beautiful. Now, I can't get enough of them:
(casually planking, obviously)
The original: Ethel Granger
Wait!! DON'T FREAK OUT like I did at first... Stella's waist isn't actually THAT tiny (though it is still really small) - it was actually photoshopped later to resemble Ethel's 13-incher. Ouchies!
Have a gander at the beautiful behind-the-scenes video for the shoot if you don't believe me.
What do you guys reckon about these photos. Creepy or strangely beautiful? I would never have said I was into extreme body-modification or whatevs, but something about the discipline and sheer determination taken to create this freaky look is pretty impressive. Respect.
