Jessica Stam – Vogue UK – November 2010

The November issue of Vogue UK looks to be an issue I will be wanting for sure to pick up.  With the beautiful cover shoot of Lara Stone coupled with Lina Scheynius photography of Jessica Stam seen here, the soft sensuality and gorgeous fashion choices have caught my attention.  The fantasy of looking as casual, yet beautiful as Stam in gold sequin harem pants or a leopard bustier while lounging about the home is something to be admired. Have a look.

Jessica Stam – Harper’s Bazaar – August 2010

Let’s fly away and take in the jovial energy and awakening colors and culture of Spain, shall we? Jessica Stam evokes a bit of this feeling for me as she poses in Seville, Spain, for Harper’s Bazaar US’ August issue.  Alexi Lubomirski photographs her alongside matadors, atop horses, all while wearing vividly bright colors styled by Clare Richardson.

Before or After

The vision of what she wanted is now a reality it seems. After two attempts of designing model Jessica Stam’s one bedroom, just off of Union Square apartment, it seems she is very happy with the end result.  In Elle’s June 2010 issue, Stam shares the most recent make-over of her home after its first attempt took place in 2008. Click here to understand exactly why she felt she needed the change. While there are more images of her previous style, the colors in Elle are much more muted and subtle. 

But I’m curious, which do you like best?  The first three images are of her current design and the remaining photos appeared in Elle Decor in October 2008.  Please share your thoughts.

2010 Met Gala Red Carpet

Graceful long dresses stole the show on the red carpet for the 2010 Metropolitian Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala themed "American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity". To learn more of the many details this event focused on click here. 

Personally, I was very impressed with the choices displayed – simple lines, clean sleek gowns, with many women choosing to sweep their hair off of their face.  Absolute elegance was the look of choice as you will see from the images I gathered as some of my favorites.
