Never have I been more inspired to take a pair of scissors to my longer skirts and trousers. Obvi the extreme teeny weeny length of most of the garments used are so purely for the editorial's purposes and I'd like to believe most girls wouldn't dare venture outside wearing them. Add another four or five inches to the tweed skirt on Angela and another ten to the strategically-placed plaid err, loincloth on Monika and you have wearability.

woops!

Steven Meisel continues his out-of-the-box photography concepts for Vogue Italia. Karlie Kloss takes a spill on January's cover, Meisel's inspiration possibly drawn from the models bailing on the Prada s/s '09 runway.

Side note: I know I've been extremely slack on my outfit posts (I think my last one was in the summer...to view them, click on outfits under LABELS) but I would really love to start doing them on a regular basis. It'll be at least a week or so until I start posting outfits because my photographer (aka boyfriend) is away for work.

Also, on a completely unrelated subject, I've decided on some New Year's resolutions (minus going to the gym). First, I want to start saving for really great pieces instead of just buying every cheap, trendy thing I see. You have no idea how much money I waste on clothes or shoes that don't get worn because its only until after I try them on that I realize its a style or trend that looks ridiculous on me. I died a little inside when I figured out that all the money I'd spend at F21 and Nasty Gal this past year could have bought these gorgeous Alaïa sandals. So, to initiate this new spending policy, I bought a pair of those black Balenciaga cork sandals from ebay which I have been obsessing over for eons. My second resolution coincides with the first: construct a budget so I know where my money is going every month. I wrote down all my expenses and bills and it was a bit of an eye-opener to see it all down on paper. I'm very excited about this because I'm pretty frivolous/careless with my spending and I think having a budget will help.

Natalia Vodianova is rapidly climbing my ranks of favorite models (although my #1 will always be Kate). I love how chameleonic she is.

The concept for this editorial is genius. Its relevant, the models are hot messes, the photos are grainy and amateur, and the garments are shown in "real" situations (I use that term loosely for Abbey Lee, cupboard-dweller). Also, I love how Gisele is covering her baby bump with the clothes.
