Gingers meet Vogue Russia

Vogue Russia, March 2015 --Models: Madison Stubbington, Magdalena Jasek; Photographer: Victor  Demarchelier; Fashion Editor: Olga Dunina; Hair: Jennifer Yepez; Make-up: Fredrik Stambro
It seems so infrequent to see editorials featuring redheads, and so I am always delighted to see them whenever they crop up.  I especially love the gorgeous feminine styling in this series of shots from Vogue Russia's March 2015 issue.  I may not have the wild Merida-like curls (much as I'd love them) sported by these ladies, but I am finding definite inspiration in the gorgeous beauty look. Most especially? The accentuation of freckles! Mine fade somewhat, and have done especially in this seemingly unending winter, but as soon as the sun peeks out more and more, so too will my face full of freckles, and I look forward to showing them off. Mix that on-point beauty look with gorgeous, feminine styling and you can't go wrong. There's so much to love here.

A Woman Above

It's no secret that I love library-themed editorials (see here, or here) since they are the combination of two of my favourite things. "A Woman Above" shot by Edgar Berg for Kenton Magazine is certainly no exception to this rule. If only all librarians actually dressed in the tartan, tweed, leather and statement necklaces featured here. It certainly gives me the impetus to up my workwear game.

Cats + Shoes = Love

Photographed by: Charlie Engman Styled by: Jorden Bickham

I think it's safe to say that any fashion-loving librarian would agree that this cat-themed whimsical editorial from Vogue.com is pretty darn fantastic. Cats in flats? It doesn't get much better. See the full spread here.

JB x JB: La Laverie

Photography JOEL BEDFORD Styling JUSTYNA BARANIECKI Hair & Make Up SOPHIE PARROT Model EVE @DULCEDO {Green Sequin Dress ZARUCCI}

Joel and Justyna are a pretty unstoppable duo - pro photographer and stylist respectively, based here in Ottawa. They continously make beautiful and inspiring images that consistently blow me away. This editorial shot in Montreal is no different. I love the intense colours and luxe feeling of the beautiful garments and accessories juxtaposed with the rather humdrum backdrop of a laundromat. And a pug in a scarf? Everyone loves a pug in a great scarf. Come on.

Gorgeous.

Red and Pink

 

Magdalena Jasek (shot by Jonas Bresnan for L'Officiel Netherlands) is quashing the rumour once and for all that redheads can't look fabulous in pink. 

So much love for this editorial. See the rest here.

Bespectacled Beauties

Styled by: Shirley Kurata Photographer: Emily Shur

Absolutely cannot get enough of this incredible editorial shot by Emily Shur and impeccably styled by Shirley Kurata. I always love looks featuring stylish spectacles, and each of these pairs are pretty fabulous, not to mention perfectly paired with amazing fashion. Winning combination? I think so.

The Reader

I've only just recently stumbled onto this Muse editorial by Andreas Larsson featuring model Denisa Dvorakova. It's an older one, shot in 2009, but I love the gorgeous styling (by Sarah Cobb) as well as the feeling and the light that comes through in the photography. Best of all? The fact that books are subtly incorporated into almost every shot. Absolutely perfect.

Vogue China: Mod Girls

 Vogue China November 2012: 'Mod Girls'. Photographed by Camilla Åkrans Styled by Ludivine Poiblanc with models Xiao Wen Ju, Ming Xi and So Young Kang.

I have yet to find a library themed editorial that I don't love, and this perfectly styled example from Vogue China's November issue is no exception. From peter pan collars, to pilgrim-esque sparkling loafer-heels, to buttoned shirts to tweed and print mixing, there is just no end of sartorial inspiration.

Ivy League

Flipping through the most recent edition of Flare magazine, I was immediately inspired by this bookish editorial shot by Andrew Soule. I admittedly always lean towards these types of looks every fall, there's something so appealing about cozy knits, tweeds, turtlenecks and sweaters that I always fall for no matter the over-arching fall trends - these are classic looks that I consistently go back to, and it's a look captured here exactly as I would most ideally imagine it.

East Coast Escape

Combining my love of fashion with the love my home province, this 2009 Flare Magazine editorial shot by Max Abadian has long been one of my standout favourites (I definitely hoarded the hard copy of the issue!) for highlighting the beautiful landscape of my beloved isle with some great styling (by Elizabeth Cabral). 

I can't guarantee that you'll see me posing on round hay bales in heels in upcoming outfit posts, but these certainly do provide me with some inspiring ideas! I'm planning to have a new personal style post up this weekend, so keep an eye out!

Crazy Cat Lady

I don't know how I ever missed this 2008 Vogue Meisel editorial styled by one of my sartorial inspirations -  the one and only Grace Coddington. Her crazy hair? Amazing (And something I can actually achieve, being a fellow redhead). Her style? Impeccable. Apply those two winning features to the already beautiful Karen Elson, throw in a bunch of snobbish yet awesome feline friends (this librarian is a closet cat lady, even though I'm currently cat-less), and you have purr-fection in my mind (horrible pun intended & dedicated to my dad, ever the relentless punster). Redheads + Cats + Chic = Win. Enough said.
