What's Haute Now!!

The Latest and the Greatest according to moi!

Some of the American fashion Gods must be listening to their readers because Joan Smalls has landed on the cover of the July issue of W Magazine.

Joan's beauty was captured by the legendary Steven Meisel for her gorgeous cover and editorial. This is not her first cover because Joan has had several international covers and since most international fashion magazines are also obsessed with celebrities, they do have the courage to use models on their magazine covers unlike their American counterparts. Congrats to Joan on a beautiful cover and thank you, Stefano Tonchi for having the courage to feature a model on the cover.

Saturdays were made for relaxing and catching up on reading and just having a me day because I adamantly refused to go on a road trip this weekend. Sorry kiddies, but Mommy has to save money for our annual vacation. Lol!!

I bought the latest issue of Hunger magazine and while flipping through the pages I came across this beautiful editorial featuring singer Liane La Havas which stopped me at mid flip. Rankin captured her style and beauty in some of the most beautiful clothes in the prettiest colors ever!  Hunger Magazine is another one of those bi-annual magazines that have now cropped up on the markets and it's heavy because it's filled with beautiful editorials from some of the worlds best unknown up and coming artist from all genres. Liane La Havas is going to have meteoric success here in the states with her music. Mark my words.

Haute Couture:The Polaroids of Cathleen Naundorf

As a woman who loves both fashion and photography I can't help but love fashion photographer Cathleen Naundorf's lovely book. Cathleen Naundorf is a protégé of the legendary photographer Horst P. Horst and has captured numerous couture collections for some the worlds best fashion designers-including Valentino to Christian Lacroix with her camera.

Her work has been displayed in galleries around the world and in several fashion and art publications for her artistic techniques using a Polaroid camera. I have featured several of her photos on my Tumblr page for those who appreciate the beauty and workmanship of Haute Couture and photography. The book will be available in July at stores worldwide.

Le Look Du Jour: Sade For Revista IO Donna-Italia

I've got to cross the digital pond to find the best in fashion, music and beauty because we are in a creative desert in this country. Every international blog is gaga over what's happening here, which is absolutely nothing other than a few celebs and beauties that might turn my head with their unique style, other than that I see nothing and don't understand their fascination. I'm always wondering don't they have stylish women and celebrities to write about or feature on their sites?



Anyhow, Sade is the latest beauty to grace the cover and pages of Italy's IO Donna fashion magazine, Jada graced the May issue and now Sade.

Sade is set to release new music and a DVD of the tour"Bring Me Home" this summer and I'm sure her fans can't wait.
