Redheads in Vogue



My one and only monthly purchase, without fail, is a pretty, shiny new copy of Vogue. I love everything about it~ the fantasy world of New York City socialites, the decadent homes of designers and, naturally, the insane fashion (good or bad, it's still amazing). I read it cover to cover, faithfully, every month, falling into a world I know little of but wholeheartedly worship. However, this month I was delighted to find not one, not two but three different spreads with redheads in them (July issue featuring Sienna Miller on the cover)! 

Sometimes as a redhead I feel left out from the glamourous and beautiful fashion world~ redheads are seldom considered as sexy as blondes or as mysterious and bombshell-like as brunettes. So I was thrilled to see The Spectrum's Ends (a high fashion photo shoot) with two different redheaded models, A Star is Shorn featuring model Iris Strubegger's new edgy (and very red) crop and my favourite, Steal of the Month (an article showing off things I may actually be able to buy!) featuring Karen Elson (wife of The White Stripes' Jack White) and Coco Rocha (a fresh face that is everywhere and was raised in the same city I was, Richmond~ local girl done good!). Coco, albeit, is a faux redhead, but I think she makes an amazing one! As a girl who grew up thinking red hair and freckles weren't beautiful, thank you Vogue for affirming that perhaps they are!

Girl Crush~ Marion Cotillard

My latest significant girl crush is French goddess and Oscar winner Marion Cotillard (Public EnemiesLa Vie En Rose). Not only is Marion a truly charismatic actress but she's also the face of Lady Dior handbags, the latest ad having just been revealed. In this latest campaign Marion portrays a woman leading a double life (just what exactly is peeking out of that lovely handbag?) and Dior will reveal more of what this mysterious beauty is up to with further ads in late summer and early fall. Aren't her red gown, lips and polished nails perfect

Marion's first campaign for Dior had her climbing on the Eiffel Tower. Tres parisienne! 

I first fell in love with Marion's style at the 80th Academy Awards. She was nominated for Best Actress for starring as Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose~ a role that demanded she lose all her glamour (and eyebrows), but she ruled the red carpet in Jean Paul Gaultier's ivory mermaid gown and long gold necklaces. I especially love her side swept curls, which she kept over one shoulder all night. Gorgeous! She won the Oscar (and the best dress award in my opinion). 

Marion on the red carpet for Public Enemies, her latest film starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale. I love her ruby Vivienne Westwood cocktail dress and pretty up do. 

Can't you see why I have a "girl crush" on her? Watch A Good Year and you certainly will!
