the talented miss mulligan

While I didn't necessarily fall head-over-heels for the October cover of US Vogue w/ Carey Mulligan at first (in fact, it sat on my bedside table for weeks until I finally cracked it open yesterday), I really do love many of Peter Lindbergh's shots for this editorial - not to mention the great gowns, as styled by Miss Grace Coddington. So I thought I'd share them with you in case you missed it...

 (in particular, this one ^)

Actually, I know relatively little about the lovely actress and have (gasp!) yet to see An Education from start to finish (even though we [my work] had two clients on the film & even though I had the screener on my desk weeks before it was even in theaters...don't ask how this happened, there just aren't enough hours in a day).  I do want to see Never Let Me Go while it's still in theaters! So I'll report back once I have an educated opinion!

Also, here is a little video from the Vogue shoot - behind the scenes.

sick in september

I'm sort of bedridden at the moment - we're thinking food poisoning since the boy is feeling sick too but I did manage to pop out and see September issue on Saturday beforehand so all was not lost.  It was such fun for me to watch. I definitely recommend it to anyone who adores fashion and has ever bought an issue of US Vogue.

Back for real Wednesday but in the meantime, here's a little clip of Grace Coddington- creative director/stylist  (who in my opinion  steals the show from M. Wintour for most of the film)
