Vintage Vogues of Christmases Past

In a time long ago, in a place far far away, fashion magazines weren't all about celebrities and the latest actress du jour.  As David posted about today, Vogue back in the day, had beautifully illustrated cover art.

How fabulous is this illustration?

I can't read the date but I'm guessing the early 1920's

And here's another cover one with the Brancusi like beauty.

1920's also I suppose.

In addition to to illustration Vintage Vogue had clever constructions

such as this cover art from 1940.

I love how the title was formed with pieces of Retro Jewelry.

And note the classic Retro ruby and diamond bracelet, it reminds me of this beautiful bracelet.

Ah, crunch time is on for another few days and then the Christmas break.

I can't wait.

Also, I've been enjoying all the blogs with gorgeous Xmas decoration

Here's one that I recommend mynottinghill.

Vogue Paris: Crystal Renn " It's ok to eat"

Favorite plus size model Crystal Renn is feature in the October issue of Vogue Paris Magazine, styled by Carine Roitfeld and shot by Terry Richardson. Although I love the styling I am a little confused on the food choices. Crystal is beyond stunning and this makes her look a little scary. I understand the message that "Its ok to eat" but why did they make her look crazed?

This photoshoot is the perfect blend of two worlds in the mix. I'm speechless..it's just beautiful!
