I know that alot of you probably have a ritual or regime that comes into play whilst shopping. for example, my mum likes to start off with a skinny latte, and i know an awful lot of my friends who have an order as to which shops they visit, or as to which floor/section of the shop they look at first. My personal shopping trait is to visit the magazine section of borders before boarding my train/bus.

At the very back of the store (behind the manga/anime books) is the most wonderful magazine selection you will possibly ever come across. Borders is the only place in which you can find magazines from all over the world, whether they are independant or not. Each month they introduce a diffrent magazine, and alternate a few of the lesser selling ones each time. It is here i have come across some of my favourite magazines, such as the gigantic 'Paper' magazine, aswell as other more known magazines such as I-D and Dazed and Confused, and a selection of american magazines such as teenVogue and Nylon. The latest offering is 'Zoo Magazine' of whoms cover features the model Irina Lazareanu (why is she so badly recieved by bloggers? I find her ghostly bone structure quite enchanting...) and the musician Sean Lennon.

This editorial is one of the best i've seen in a while, and the accompanying article is a good read too...

*NOTE* however great the magazine is... how unfortunate it is to have to share a name with a lads mag...

What does a recently broken computer + 6 essays to re-type equal? Very, very tired fingers. So im afraid dear bloggers that this is a quick one. More of a you-answer-me than a-me-talking-to-you post. For todays post, im thinking back to the post about Miss Amy Winehouse i did a month back,as she became the muse for Karl Lagerfeld @ Chanel. Since then, i have been thinking more into the who-is-who of celeb/stylist muses, and have compiled the finest.

DUFFY FOR DOLCE & GABBANA

Everyone knows Duffy is an amazing singer, but what you may not know is that she has also has amazing style, and is the new muse of D&G. Apparently she wowed the fashion gods at a concert and has been asked to take over the role from Madonna *scoff scoff*

KATIE SHILLINGFORD FOR GARETH PUGH If you had never heard of her before, dont worry, i hadn't either. Turns out she's the ex-editor of Dazed And Confused, and also stylist to Gareth Pugh's catwalks. He's worked with her for four years and 'couldn't think of anyone else but Katie' to be his muse. All i know is that she had one hell of a haircut, and that there isn't many pictures of her on the internet.

AGYNESS DEYN FOR HOUSE OF HOLLAND

Best friends for a few years, the style duo even live together, and along with her quirky style, its no suprise she makes the 'perfect muse' for house of holland.

so, who would be your muse?

have a good evening everyone,

Molly xo.

Agh. The shop that were 'fixing' my camera have declared that it cannot be fixed. So now i have the task of saving for a new one. So hopefully i will have a camera soon.

But from one person-behind-the-camera to another, i present you my second fashion mini-biography on the topic of: legendary photograper Patrick Demarchelier.

Info bit:

The french photographer was born in 1994 and since then has become a major name in the photography industry. He has shot dozens of editorials for American, British and Paris Vogue. He has also shot covers for Rolling Stone, Glamour, and Elle. Also, he has shot campaigns for Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. He was also mentioned in Devil Wears Prada [hence the title...].

Recently, he shot 'the sheltering sky' for British Vogue with model Jessica Stam, showcasing this seasons prettiest fashions.

Im sorry this is a bit hurried, but i have the dreaded return to school tomorrow, so i'm very busy [but i hope these gorgeous pictures make up for it!] Thankyou all for your lovely comments, and i'll reply as soon as i can!

Have a nice day everyone,

Molly xo.

As i've said before [1stb'daypost] i never really pay attention to the beautiful catwalk people. [However, according to many designers, models are not meant to make any expression at all in thier faces so that people notice the clothes not them. (Unless your Stella M. and have the great revelation to let models smile.) So maybe i'm just playing into the designer's hands] Although, even if i did notice faces, im hopeless with names so i probably wouldnt remember any, especially not long exotic names that most seem to have these days. But, as my fashion knowledge is growing [slowly...] i decided to provide you [and me] with a model referance of a few new faces of the fashion world and some pictures and other bits i can find out about them.

Siri Tollerod

Age: 19

Agency: Trump

Hometown: Norway

Signed since 16 Siri decided to finish college first [beauty and brains!] and so started modelling as a career in summer 2007. [something i'm sure most girls would like to do.]

Since being signed, shes starred in an extroadinary 60 shows this season alone, many with major fashion houses such as dior, mcqueen [lucky girl...], Feretti, Prada and Louis Vuitton. She also has starred in ads for Pepe, DKNY and more, and in magazines such as Vogue UK, Italy, and Paris and Lula. She's gorgeous but is mostly known for her 'pout' and long legs.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Masha Tyelna

Age: 18

Hometown: Ukraine

Agency: Women

Masha has been dubbed 'the alien beauty' with her enourmous eyes [which make her come across with a mixture of scared/shocked expression at times] However, she is an alternate beauty and someone i'm sure even I would be unlikely to forget.

She's been featured in Italy Vogue along with Agyness Deyn, and has been seen on the catwalk for Prada, Alexander McQueen, Louis Vuitton, Nina Ricci, DKNY, Vera Wang, Jil Sander, Chloé, and Marc by Marc Jacobs. Out of all the models i've reviewed- she's the main lady to watch.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Toni Garrn

Age: 17

Hometown: Germany

Agency: Storm [probably THE best agency in the universe]

Toni signed with woman managment in 2007, and later signed to the prestigious STORM agency. She has been featured in numerous ads and editorials, such as ELLE & ELLE italy, Glamour, French Vogue, and CK.

Her big break into the modelling world is when Calvin Klein exclusivley booked her for the opening and finishing act of his 2008 show, which is a HUGE deal as supermodels Moss & Vodianova both became 'super' following being a CK exclusive. Big things must follow, and i'm going to be watching.

Newcoming models are suprisingly hard to find, but i'll keep searching, and if i find any more i'll let you know.

Have a good evening,

Molly xo.

Mum: 'you'll never guess who just walked into Reiss [clothes store, Cambridge]. AMY WINEHOUSE!'

Im not much of a celebrity fan. I suppose its because I've never come into contact with many before. But when i walked into Reiss to see a petite beehive clad Amy Winehouse, i'll admit i was thrilled. She was wearing a tight pair of skinny jeans and high top trainers and was accompanied by a bodyguard. This was before her whole drug-use trauma, and seemed perfectly happy browsing the rails.

Peronally, i've never really liked her style that much. Her baggy jeans, trainers and tattoos are all a bit manly for my liking. I'll admit she does have talent and i am very pleased she is back from rehab and is on the mend. But really, shes not my cup of tea style-wise.

However, she has been influenced and been linked to the fashion world very strongly this season. She is known as Karl LAgerfeld's muse and inspired many catwalk beauty looks with her winged eyes and bouffant hair. She performed at Fendi's store opening and at many of the major music events.

And when Paris Vogue did a fashion spread inspired by her in the Febuary issue, i'm going to have to bite the bullet and admit that i loved it. The model [Isabelli Fontana] captured Amy's often bizzare behaviour well, and the shoot really reflects her personality and dress sense.

Sitting and trying to concentrate on my ICT coursework, i [miraculously] am finding myself pondering over fashion matters. And todays main subject is the new Giles Deacon range for New Look. I must admit i have never REALLY been a fan of celeb/designers collaborations as they're often not so much the designers style, but more the store's style. Basically they are always disapointing, and only result in shopping stampedes within the high street. So, when i read about Giles deacon's FOURTH collection for New Look, i was horrified. For anyone that is British, i think you can agree that New Look isn't exactly a beacon of style. And for anyone out of Britain, it's THE only store that happens to sell the most unpleasant version of trends ever. Luckily, there were copies of Look magazine that showed the collection in its full glory [not]. I must admit is IS more impressive than his last bizzare collection, and i probably could stretch to buyin the candy coloured glasses, and perhaps even the pink folded dress, but nothing else is really that exciting. At least it's modelled by the always-fabulous Agyness.. :) Have a nice evening everyone, Molly xo.

It seems strange that almost a year ago i was fresh-faced to blogging. I was young, knew only thew basics of the internet, but still had the same passion for all things fashion.

But, here we are, a year on and i've finally come to grips with the world of blogging. I've changed layouts, met people and learned a hell of alot about fashion. So, to celebrate the era of fashionyou that has passed, i've not only got new features, and a new layout [do you like it?] but i'm also counting down my favourites of everything fashion from 2007 to Spring 2008.

Designer.

Stella McCartney

It had to be her really. I found it such a struggle to choose between her and McQueen, but i chose her for her effortless elegance. I REALLY want her beige jumpsuit from Febuary Vogue UK.

Model.

Agyness Deyn

This was a tricky one as i usually don't pay much attention to models, but i've always liked Agyness' non-model looks. Her striking looks are gorgeous, and after winning Model of The Year she's been seen everywhere. I particualy like seeing her and Henry Holland together because I do love a fashion related friendship.

Shop.

H&M

I buy pretty much all of my clothing from here as it is so diffrent to other stores around. [And its cheap!] It's got some really great coloured peices which makes a contrast from the catwalks dull hues.

Magazine.

Vogue

It always has been and probably always will be Vogue. It's the ultimate fashion magazine and the most highly regarded in the fashion industry. All my friends don't like it's endless advertisments, but i love everything about it.

And as a personal celebration, i'm going to go to my local shop and by this month's issue. Victoria Beckham is on the cover- [Brand Beckam seems to have spread to the magazines- Next stop is world domination.]

Have a nice evening everyone.

Molly xo.
