Carey Mulligan – Cover Elle UK – January 2011

A talent and a beauty at the young age of 25. Carey Mulligan, in promotion of her film Never Let Me Go, shines on the cover of Elle UK’s January 2011 issue. With her short ‘do and mod style clothing, her unique elegance is a treat to gaze upon.

But the film I can’t wait to see her star in is Baz Luhrmann’s version of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 classic The Great Gatsby in the leading role of Daisy Buchanan. Tentatively scheduled to be released in June of 2012, Leonardo DiCaprio has also signed on to revive a time era that he seems to shine in. Patience, patience, patience.

Romantically English

With touches of gingham, cozy nooks and gorgeously papered walls, interior designer Windsor Smith takes us through her English-feeling home in House Beautiful’s December 2010/January 2011 issue. With a balanced mixture of antique and comfort, the crisp, clean white walls, a large soaking tub and two fireplaces, make her home a place I would dream of coming home to at the end of a long week with an opportunity to curl up with a book, enjoy lovely company and a home cooked meal or two.
