LILY DONALDSON, VOGUE SPAIN MAY 2012 by ALEXI LUBOMIRSKI

While the weather here in CT/NYC these past few days has been exhaustingly dreary, summer is undoubtedly around the corner. If feels as though I awoke to find that the green had sprouted up overnight (and about time!). Finally, no more jackets and heavy knits: I can at last dig up all my summer dresses and bikinis that had been squirreled away since last September. Now, if only any of my summer attire involved glorious evening gowns by Ricardo Tisci, or luminous jackets from Chanel... then I'd REALLY have reason to celebrate this new warm weather! SOURCE.

MODEL CITIZEN: LILY DONALDSON

Lily is such a beautiful girl, so it's hard to imagine her ever really looking bad - and it's rare that she does! I saved these images to my computer quite some time ago, and I'm having to jog my memory to remember exactly what they're from! I suspect Lily is pictured here in Stella McCartney, at a Stella McCartney store opening... but I can't be entirely sure (I'm way too lazy to go through her TFS thread all over again looking to find out, sorry!). Anyway, the bottom line is that she looks amazing! I think it's great that she never over-accessorizes; she always keeps everything very clean and easy. I really want a dress like this!

MODEL CITIZENS

They're tall, they're skinny, they're gorgeous, AND they make gobs of money travelling and wearing amazing clothes. So if that wasn't enough worth envying, here's another: some of them are actually all those things off the runway too! Not all models are particularly savvy when it comes to dressing themselves, but these girls certainly know a thing or two about looking lovely once they've stepped off the catwalk. Magdalena's shoes are amazing, Siri does simple chic, and Lily is classic and gorgeous. Absolute love! My sources are tfs and stockholmstreetstyle.com.

Look at Me Go

There is not much to say in terms of this post, which is just more fashion editorials that I think are pretty. Or interesting. Or something. What a pain in the butt it is to re-size all these images... the ones of Gisele in couture gowns are espeacially lovely if you ask me. I threw in a picture of peonies (my favorite flower) for good measure.

Dearest You

Well hey hey hey. In all my internet life I have never once blogged, about anything. I'm suddenly surprised it took me this long to figure out that this might just make sense. It isn't that my life is interesting (eat & sleep: actions that dominate my life), which is why I'm going to keep this blog as impersonal as possible. Rather, I'm more interested in cateloging things I find astetically pleasing to me.
I wasn't always someone who cared about fashion or looks or anything related. In fact, I'm pretty sure I was the only tomboy in class and was teased for shopping only at the boys department at Old Navy. Hardly the beginnings of a fashionista (a word I actually hate, so lets forget I said that). But, alas, I did eventually comform to the wants of my peers and shed my boyish exterior for more girly clothes. That isn't to say this transformation materialized over night - I'd embarass myself if I said I was fashionable. Just fashion conscious. Which is why I want to keep track of my loves and the whatnot for a while, since I think you can see how a person changes just by looking at how their tastes change (um hi - would I ever wear a juicy hoody ever again?).
So, experimental as it is, this will be my fashion blog. Not only will I be documenting the runway looks that I adore, but the photography and models that play such an important role in shaping fashion and for whom/which I have equal love for.
