Do you know The Brant Brothers?

THE BRANT BROTHERS...

............................................................

... it seems as though Gossip Girl is not just a show for some.

You might wanna get to know these two way-too-goodlooking brothers, as I'm sure
you'll be seeing a lot more of them around.

Just like the Pairs Hiltons and Nikki Hiltons, let's introduce to the world another pair of humans who are too young to have done anything really spectacular other
than wear couture and party too much...

I mean, just for a little dig at these two, I thought I'd share this with you:

“From now on when people ask me what I ‘do’ I’m just gonna say ICON,” - Harry recently tweeted.

Eish. It's sad that even though these two are probably completely clued up
in the world of fashion and style and art and expensive champagne, they seem have no drive
to do anything more than just look good. The Gossip Girl complex, let's just call it that.

Now before you smack me for "judging too quickly"
 

(and I rate I am allowed to since these two have so clearly put themselves out
on that playform to be judged by the world)

let me just say that having little Suri Cruise as a life idol REALLY doesn't say much
for the person you are (or for what sort of exposure you're getting to the world from your folks.. tut tut)
However, if you measure your worth by social status, then these two are 

top of the pops for you!

Arm candy to those of Michelle Harper and Courtney Love, who wouldn't want to experience
a day in the life of one of these two (I'll say it again, ridiculously good looking) brothers :)

I really hope that we see some good things from these two in the future...

Then agian, you can always accomplish nothing and go to the grave in Chanel or Wang or Mc Queen.
I'd still give you a pat on the back for that...

ENJOY kids

All Hail Emilia Clarke

Emilia Clarke...

.................................................................

... The L.A Times describes her as "certain kind of nubile beauty that’s irresistible to casting directors". She truly is remarkable, and I fell completely in love with the first season on Game Of Thrones. L.A Times again puts her character perfectly into words, which I think is what makes her so alluring and sexy, without the loose slutty facade:

"(Her) womanly side isn’t largely expressed by her sexuality but by a solid core of inner strength and authority."

It is hard to get past her Girl Power aura... and with a drop-dead-gorgeous face like this, who would have played a better Daenerys Targaryen... Well. No one. Not one single person.

OMGOD HOW amazing was she at the end of Season One...?!?!!

Born in 1987 (same year as me!!) This gorgeous new face (who won the Scream award for Breakout Performance... SO deserved!) is keeping every Game Of Thrones addict locked on! And if you don't watch the HBO show, then her Fashion editorial for L.A Times ought to do it for you... (if the screen shots from G.O.Thrones above for some unknown reason didnt...)

Even this editorial seems to have some sort of Dungeons & Dragons air about it. Firstly, Emilia's over-the-top fantastic hairdo is simply gorgeous and all-fantasty-inspiring. She is depicted in a very arb looking stone room (some might think Dungeon??) And her very modern high-fashioned couture adds more fantasy imagery to this very trendy sexy shoot. Styled By Deborah Afshani and shot by Ruven Afanador... Go to the L.A Times page to read the insert for yourself...!!

We Heart - Lana Del Rey

Lana Del Rey...

..............................................

... Actually born and named Elizabeth Grant, this singer-songwriter was born and raised in America, and moved to NYC at age 18 to do the coyote ugly thing (sans the dancing on the bar parts) to peruse her dream of being a famous musician... throwing college into the mix there.

And luckily for her, it all went according to plan and now she's quickly becoming a well noted fashion icon within the industry too.

Lana's carefully constructed image has been described as "a gangster Nancy Sinatra", and Lana herself dubbing her look as "Lolita-got-lost-in-the-hood"... 

So what does this all mean really? Think innocent, vulnerable beauty mixed in with hardened gangsta hip-hop aesthetics. 

Yup, that's Lana Del Rey...

I mean, who else would think to combine Frida Kahlo flowery head pieces with bad-ass gangsta gold bling? She is the perfect mix of vintage and urban, and this makes her a perfect new find for editorials.

Now, Lana's debut album "Born This Way" (hard not to instantly think "Gaga", isn't it?) focused specifically on all of the above, plus American vintage styling with retro graphics and accessories and that somewhat 80's Brooklyn trailer park chic...

Although there has been some heavy criticism on this lil'lady and her entire vibe, which let's be honest, there always will be some ass who has to have his finger in the pie and have something to say, it's pretty obvious that all Lana's references are very mod and current and are totally relevant to the youth market of the world today...

Which is probably why she's fast becoming pretty popular within the fashion and music circles...

  Definitelyone to look out for!

Enjoy :)

New Love: Chloe Grace Moretz

Chloe Grace Moretz...

............................................

... is my new teen queen dream. I think she is absolutely gorgeous!

This little fifteen... YES! 15! year old has already played (or been cast in) some amazing effing roles... She played the sweet and charming little Isabelle in one of my fav flicks of the year: Hugo. And she's just finished up with Tim Burton's Dark Shadows, playing Carolyn Stoddard (a film of which I plan to see veery soon, and you should too!)

However, my best genre of film of ALL time would have to be, without a doubt, Horror. So you can imagine my face when I found out my new little teen queen is set to play effing Carrie herself in 2013...!!!!! Wow does she present an admiring film poster:

Anyway, one of the biggest attractions to this little 15 year old is certainly her darker side. All her red carpet looks are clearly influenced by her off-beat and slightly more edgy film personas, and she is often seen in darker (if not solid black) colours... a lovely look for this blondie I think.

And I quote:

"[I like to] mix high fashion with high-street fashion. Like, I'll put an Alexander McQueen jacket with a nice Topshop T-shirt. That's more approachable than, 'Here comes Chloë in her runway look."

What brilliance for such a young fashionista!

 

She still retains her young, poppy and fun teen side while mixing in some of the more punchier edgier look. I love her Teen Vogue shoot, very classic with a retro twist... Gorgeous shoot for this little one... Definately one to keep an eye out for, expect more on my blog about this girl!!

Enjoy

Spring Chicken - Lily Collins

Lily Collins...

... daughter of British Rock star Phil Collins, is crashing the scene with her sweet rock style and great on-screen roles.

She has not one, but two films for Snow White coming out this year ... (there can never be just one of a movie anymore don't you find?) and playing alongside Julia Roberts, this little spring chicken's movie profile is set to raise pretty high after this big budget 3D movie!!

(move aside Kristen... lol)

Already, at only 20 years old, this young Hollywood starlett already owns her own signature style it seems...

Pressed between a sandwitch of ultra-laid-back slash sexy sweet grungy rocker chic look (I supposed she's meant to be getting this from daddy...) and gorgeous night-time red carpet glittery princess... Lily seems to have the best of both worlds (in a very non-Hannah way) when it comes to fashion!

Lovely stuff, keep your eyes peeled on this sweet little one

xo

And now for her Princess-Pretty Red Carpet looks:
