beauty sometimes just is not within

kirsten stewart | TumblrUntitledAnd suddenly I felt nothingBuried Alive.i'm lost †Kristen Stewart Photoshoots and Controversy


I've looked and looked at Kristen Stewart online and I've got to say it was difficult to find images not relating to Twilight or her success because of the franchise. She has a very odd look though I'm finding it difficult to define her. She's not conventional, quite clearly, she does actually represent Bella Swan how Bella Swan sees herself - plain. Obviously the application of make-up does help, but this underlying urge to argue how she even came by the role because of her obvious lack of talent for acting. Harsh, but true. She's beautiful in the way she holds herself, not on camera but she clearly doesn't give a shit, so good for her. The movie the runaways, despite acting, painted her in the better light moving her more to the words artist than plain jane.

I have had this on draft for months and want to change the direction of the blog so I'm more or less fishing out the rubbish from my drafts, then starting over.

If there was one fashion accessory I could have whether it's last season or not - it would be this clutch, plus the entire collection are so addictive.

taylor swift

going to the beach, bitchgoing to the beach, bitchgoing to the beach, bitchgoing to the beach, bitchgoing to the beach, bitchgoing to the beach, bitchgoing to the beach, bitchgoing to the beach, bitch

I found this collection of images on once again, my new creative hub of images - weheartit.com, once again, please follow me - weheartit.com/aliceswinter. Anyway, Taylor Swift is beautiful, not in keeping with my classic indie girl fad, but the complete opposite, pink, sparkly and supremely girlish. But I do love these images, they are unique and in a rare collection for an internet site. But I thought they were natural. Unplugged from her mic and just being Taylor, in my eyes.
enjoy!

This fashion story, partly from Vogue, the others in the water posted by the same person, show a haunting beauty which for some reason, was less about the fashion, and more about the models this time. It felt like some kind of witch-craft or magical bond between the girls. The posing is careless and unknowingly loose. Which, in term makes it all the more natural. I just wanted to share these pictures, once again, from weheartit.com.

Alexa Alexa Alexa






The second model I've looked at now with this Tomboyish look and I'm sure there's many more to go.
Alexa Chung at first I couldn't stand because, well, what did she do? To me she was some kind of it girl who had the essence of a model. However, on reading her interview with my favourite designer Karl Lagerfeld I decided otherwise. We both share a same love: CHANEL, how can I say this... Chanel, Chanel, Chanel... love, love love. I'll save that for another time. But make no mistake it will be a good post. I hope.
Anyway. I wasn't too sure exactly what she did. But after that article I thought about exactly why she is where she is. But I found that the British 27 year old, born in Hampshire, is actually a contributing editor to Britsh Vogue, the Lagerfeld interview obviously showed her knowledge and flare for fashion. Being a television presenter and model hadn't even come into it yet. Seeing her pepe jeans campaign and her cover in Vogue last year, I fell in love. The Chanel clogs are beautiful and on her with her dainty ankles and soft face she looks gorgeous.
She looked so distinctive I hadn't really noticed properly her individuality from all the other models.
Looking at her pictures from June's Vogue cover and interview with her - she's got it I really loved the locket it made her seem like a young teenager. The Vogue picture of her in the Holly Fulton blouse, skirt and cardigan. The blouse looked so natural with the leather skirt had this bananna yellow. It matches her hair in a tousled bob. I had a bob at one point but this looked exactly how I would've wanted it. Her tomboyish style is so pretty yet natural yet she doesn't really need make-uo because the style is enough, the colours make her complection simple and glowing.

The Blooming of Agyness Deyn









Born orginally as Laura Hollins, in Manchester, Agyness Deyn (now 28) won Britain's Next Top Model and is now one of the biggest european models covering Vogue twice and Harpers Bazaar. I love her unique look which, to me is quite special as she seems quite innocent and (this maybe because of the platinum hair) quite pure and fresh. You could almost imagine her being the perfect model for a Locoste campaign simply because she matches the fresh, clean polo, golf fashion Lacoste brings.

I loved the photographs in black and white of her, they really bring out her natural bone structure and angular face. Making her face seem somehow softer, however the clarity of the pictures makes her seem this kind of unnatural beauty without make-up.

I was so happy when I saw Agyness was walking for Chanel because the natural feminity that Chanel brings really contrasts beautifully with her tomboyish style. Many articles in Vogue and Bazaar and fashion icons have always said that fashion changes but style is eternal and I really think with the introduction of Cary Mulligan and Emma Watson's newly cropped pixy cuts are really showing off this tomboyish style which is ageless from the 1960's for young to older women.

Gaga for Gaga

This weekend I bought the new Lady Gaga album, I already think it's great because though it is a pop album gaga manages to make the all of the songs really different and personal. I think that even though she's completely crazy she manages to connect to people of all ages, I generally don't like her type of music because it is usually very manuafactured. But I'm saying gladly that she is an excellent singer/songwriter. I got carried away so I thought I'd put some pictures up of her.
