elle uk covers

for awhile I have been meaning to post about international magazines i think are worth purchasing.. one that comes to mind that is available at most news agencies and bookstores in Elle UK.  It isn’t too crazy but they always manage to put out a creative/special cover…  less commercial & more fun than most American Magazines… One of the best things about reading international magazines is noting the celebrities they feature, trends they focus on, and the current issues they address… maybe we need to step up?!!!

The entire elleuk website is overflowing with fun distractions – my personal favorite is the online “beauty school” quick video library (click here for link to sexy assymetrical up-do) ^

Elle Uk’s use of handwriting reminds me of Stephen Sprouse for Louis Vutton ^pictured above…
