winter fantasies




Jourdan Dunn, Joan Smalls and Hailey Clauson covering i-D Magazine Winter 2011. Simultaneously boosting my Christmas excitement (how can rollnecks, sports thermals, puffa jackets and the cosy title 'warm up' suggest anything else?) and looking like they've stepped straight out of the Bobbie Brown Teenage Beauty book I used to own, with nude faces and eyeshadowed lids and all-round healthy countenances. These three covers are winter fantasies-they're what the cold months would be if central heating didn't try skin out. As the 'Winter Warm Up' issue it's also packed full of feel-good mantras Jane Fonda would be proud of, imploring exercise, endorphins and toothy grins. "Keep it loose and breathe deeply!" "Early to bed, early to rise, keeps you healthy, happy and wise!" Whether this well intended tone is put into practice or treated as a voyeuristic calorie burner there is one thing we can all agree on, I'm sure. Jourdan's eyebrows. Those eyebrows..

great mantra's to remember in the winter months to help us stay looking and feeling great. And yes, Jourdan's eyebrows are just "wow".

yellow nails in winter? Maybe I won't save the new yellow polish for spring afterall...

Man, I hate the winking. The Jourdan cover is amazing though!
