we call her ms. lanphear

It's no secret that the style editor at Elle is a goddess in her own right. Her jewelry collection is beyond enviable, and there's this unspeakable ease in which she wears her own brand of anti-fashion. Who else can pull off that nearly white-blonde hair in a short crop that she's come to call her own? I smell the makings of the next potential Anna Wintour, minus the diva behavior, of course. (Can you really put a diva label on someone who was seen wearing an "Obama Mama" t-shirt under a plaid button down?)

The rest of this "First Look" section from February was pretty incredible, but I just wanted to show off the first page. I love the model's blown out hair and her plush nude lips. I'm a huge fan of nude lipstick.

  2. Is that a dress or a skirt? Either way -- I love it. This is always my favorite section in Elle. =)

  3. This page made me stop and look. I'm not completely loving it just because it's so her/it girl (not me), but I really like the sheer tight layering action.

  9. I just got my Elle today [yay free subscription] and that page kind of stopped me from looking around. There is so much going on, I really wish it was a full shoot compared to some of their more ridiculously boring elements in this issue.
