Crazy For Coco Thursday, July 17, 2008 1:06 AM

How much do I love the cover of the August 2008 issue of FASHION? The bright pink, the lime green, the white text, the gradient in the magazine's title, and Coco Rocha all wrapped up in one neat little package.

My only complaint is there are only two additional photos of Coco inside the magazine. The photos were shot by Miguel Jacob and styled by stylist extraordinaire Tammy Eckenswiller.

Also, how amazing are those Christian Louboutin pink fringe suede boots? Louboutin's have never made me swoon until now. They're not something I would wear even if I had the money, but they look absolutely stunning. Ever since I got a copy of this issue last week, I keep sneaking peeks at page 95 for these boots.

The above denim story, My Blue Heaven, was shot by Francisco Garcia and styled by George Antonopoulos.

When I opened the July issue of Flare, I was surprised to see such fun and eclectic styling on the pages of the magazine. It's something I don't expect from Flare (or any Canadian fashion magazine, really). The shoot was styled by Flare fashion director Elizabeth Cabral and shot by photographer Ishi.

Unfortunately I don't have a scanner and I couldn't find the images from the magazine or the photographer's website so you'll have to look at dodgy photos of photos instead.

My apologies for how slow things have been around here lately with the lack of posts. Things have been unexpectedly busy, but should return to normal soon. I still have outfit photos from nearly three weeks ago to post, which I should probably photograph first. There never seems to be enough time in the day to shoot what I'm wearing.

It's been like Christmas in my mailbox lately. Of course, most parcels are presents I bought for myself during random online shopping trips. However, today I received a package from the wonderful oh! the light today (thank you, thank you!). Inside were copies of the February 2008 issues of Vogue Girl Korea and W Korea.

This is exciting for me as I've never flipped through copies of either magazines -- I've only admired the photo editorials for Vogue Girl Korea on the internet. There's something thrilling about viewing the photography in a printed format. This issue didn't let me down. Look at this loveliness by photographer Kim Han Jun!

I wish I had a scanner so I could share the rest of the story with everyone.

Recently I was asked which five magazines I regularly read and which five I wish to read regularly.

After some thought, my answer for the five I regularly read is as follows.

Fashion
I think this one is the best of the mainstream Canadian fashion magazines.

Lula
I run around town searching high and low for every new issue of Lula. Not all the bookstores carry it or sometimes they'll carry one issue, but not the next.

Nylon
I have a subscription so it's hard to not read it regularly!

Teen Vogue
I left my teens many years ago, but I love looking at the styling. Plus it's cheap at $3.50 CAD a pop.

Vogue
Well, they call this the Bible. In all honesty, I prefer the European ones, but this one is the most accessible being in North America (and one of two editions I can actually read).

As for the magazines I wish I read regularly; there's a ton. Many of them are foreign magazines (which I can't read, but like to admire the photos) so they're either hard to find or they're super expensive (Vogue Italia costs $30 CAD). I can only spend so much on magazines a month before my wallet starts crying.

What do you read? Is there anything I should add to my reading list?
