An ode to Elle UK

scanned by susiebubble

I've said many times on the blog that Elle UK is my favourite international magazine (yes, I love it more than Vogue Paris). I'm subscribed to it, and everytime that it arrives on the mailbox, it is a moment of happiness. It usually arrives very early in the month, which is a surprise considering how bad subscriptions services are. I don't understand why they don't send the issues to the subscriptors first, as they are actually their best readers, don't you think? I hate seeing a magazine on the newstands and not to buying it because I'm subscribed to it.

I know that Elle UK is not going to disappoint me. Every cover is fantastic, and even though I'm not a fan of all the celebrities portrayed, I must say that the photographs are usually amazing. I'm talking about the subscriptors special covers, but the normal ones are good as well. The articles and the fashion items choices are always great too, which is very important.

Today I'm posting the best Elle UK covers (mostly all of them, actually), because when I saw their latest one with Chanel Iman (february 2011), it reminded me of how good they are. This post is an ode to Elle UK.

Ya he dicho muchas veces que Elle UK es mi revista internacional favorita (sí, por encima de Vogue Paris). Estoy suscrita a ella, y cada vez que llega al buzón, es toda una alegría. Normalmente suele llegar muy pronto, lo que es una sorpresa, considerando lo mal que funcionan las suscripciones de las revistas. No entiendo por qué no envían las revistas a los suscriptores antes, si son sus mejores lectores, ¿no os parece? Odio ver una revista en los kioskos y no comprármela porque estoy suscrita a ella y todavía me tiene que llegar. Por eso sólo estoy suscrita a Elle UK, porque no llega a España.

Sé que Elle UK no me va a decepcionar. Cada portada es fantástica, y aunque no sea fan de todas las celebrities que aparecen, debo decir que las fotografías elegidas son realmente buenas. Hablo de las portadas especiales para suscriptores, pero las normales también están muy bien. Los artículos y las prendas para las guías de estilo son geniales también, que es importante.

Hoy publico mis portadas preferidas (casi todas, en realidad), porque cuando he visto la última con Chanel Iman (febrero 2011), me han recordado lo buenos que son. Este post es una oda a Elle UK.

True Women: Carey Mulligan (Casual looks)

She's on every Best dressed list of 2010, and she truly deserves it. Carey is incredibly stylish, she can pull off round glasses, short hair... The perfect fashionista!

She's one of the best dressed on the red carpet (a post about it soon), and she's one of the first stars to wear Prada at award ceremonies.

Her casual style is... casual. She usually wears flats, jeans, sailor stripes, comfy sweaters, maxibags...

She used to date Shia LaBeouf, so you'll see him on many of the pictures posted... :)

Style Inspiration: Carey Mulligan in "An education"

I watched this film yesterday at 3AM. I didn't want to go to sleep, so I decided to watch "An Education". I've been a fan of Carey Mulligan for months, I first saw her in "Pride & Prejudice", and then in "Wall Street 2" (awful film, by the way. The first movie was much better). She's really elegant and feminine, and the pixie cut suits her amazingly. Her fashion choices for the red carpet are always perfect (I'll make a post with her best looks).

One of the best things of the movie is the costume design. A mix between british style and parisienne allure.

That dress is beautiful!
