25-Something

>> I completely missed Elle UK's 25th Anniversary bash in London due to an elongated trip in New York chugging away with work.  I need to go check out John Galliano's graffiti though which is currently gracing Southbank and will be making its way to 10 locations around London – maybe do a 25th anniversary Elle homage all around to make up for missing the party.

However, in other Elle news, I crossed the Atlantic in June to take place in Elle US 'The Quarterbacks' feature for their 25th Anniversary October issue out now, as one of their 25-somethings with err…something to say/do/contribute.  My contribution of course is of course not really comparable to the gift of song or emotive film a la Lea Michelle (she was on set with me and I had to geekily go up to her to say I was a fan…) or Gabourey Sidibe.  The list of 25, 25-somethings (as in around the age of 25 because OF COURSE you ALL know I'm 26….) also includes Amanda Blank, Camille Belle, Mila Kunis, Olivia Thirlby and Janelle Monae amongst others.  Still, I'm not going to say no to being trussed up in head to toe Chanel (hence why I made the Chanel connection by revisiting all the A/W 10-11 furriness earlier this month) and get hot and sweaty under lights in faux fur whilst it was also around 30-something degrees outside, chomp on some pastel coloured baked goods and ogle at some A/W 10-11 Miu Miu…

Apologies for my POOR POOR scanning but here I am in faux furry furry goodness and the totally natural position of three bags (actually I am in the habit of carrying two at the moment… maybe I COULD amp it up to three?).  The make-up was insane and felt insane at the time but actually seems slightly dulled when the pic came out… MORE blue eyeshadow and red lippie I say!

I loved that when I was carrying the issue back to front, some people actually thought I had a really old issue of Elle on me as the back section had a few vintage Elle editorials in… gotta love Cindy in a bit of primary freshness….

In other Elle 25th Birthday news, I also made a very poorly decorated cake for the Elle UK folks… I swear it tasted better than it looks… rosewater and pistachio I tells ya!

  2. Oh Susie what have they done to your make up? Quite similar to the ones that Grazia did on you way back.
    Love the clashing Chanel 😛

  5. Owww, 25-somethings, I’m set to give up that status in exactly a week though I still say 26 is close enough to 25 to count as mid-twenties….and the cake, contrary to what you say, looks plenty fantastic! It also reminds me of Style Bubble’s first colour scheme, was that why you (consiously or unconsciously) chose it?
    Also, love the outfit- I was never really sold on the Yeti-ness of Chanel, but somehow it just works in the image, on you (a touch of posh Park Avenue lady gone cavewoman, maybe?). And it does look fun to wear, if somewhat fuzzy.

  8. oh susie you are beautiful!!!
    I follow by years and I’m so happy to see you on elle
    Happy weekend to all 🙂

  10. uuuuuuuuu! i like all the pics that you put in you blog! they look rele cool and the cake also look rele gooood! now im ready for a piece of cake! it was awesome!

  14. Wow, you were covered in fun fur!
    I am glad you were able to share the information on the anniversary so soon.

  15. Love the shot of you.
    Don’t you hate it when life gets so booked that you have to choose between two things you should never have to give up?

  19. Not sure if I’d want to see that flying Elle circus but I’d love to taste those cakes and I also like that pic made by photographer: Carter Smith, and with work of Stylist: Joe Zee a lot. Also, your outfit and make-up are amazing! Not sure about yellow gloves though.

  20. wow, this looks like it was really amazing!! I love that miu miu, defiantly my favorite from the collection!! And all those macaroons!! Ah they’re my favorite!!

  22. We think your blog ‘rocks’ girl! Congratulations to ELLE,- wish I was 25 years young! Grrr x

  24. congrats, you look gorgeous (and still very “susie-esque” despite being styled by someone else). love it!

  27. Susie if you find the stencils, can you post the street names. I do not have a clue where they might be, but I’d love to see some of them. Thanks!

  28. I love your blog. You always have such good news. I love the Miu Miu’s stuff and that dress .. perfect.
    Kiss

  33. Congrats on the Elle shoot, I was reading that issue Saturday and totally squealed when I saw your picture in it. You looked awesome, and I gotta say you’re slowly converting me on the faux fur look… 😉
