This is off top, and more tech/gadget related, but it's applicable to fashion and magazines, in a parallel way.
And it occurred to me on one of these flights – "Why is it that the Internet looks so ugly and the magazines look so beautiful? Wouldn’t it be great if you could take the power of the Internet and the beauty of these magazines and fuse them together somehow?"

guests seemed to have sworn some sort of blood oath not to discuss the evening, even once it was over. Maybe they feared the wrath of their hostess...
I've always admired written and small symbolic tattoos spread around the body. They're like a journey, discovered, and contemplated, one at a time.
& When in doubt, a black bra for sure.

This duo employ only the most hands on and meticulous methods when producing their product...[Via]
The duo being brothers Rick and Michael Mast. And their product being chocolate (Yum). They're from brooklyn, and can be purchased here.
They began their voyage in their apartment, using a homemade machine to process cacao beans. Over time they cultivated their creation, sourcing beans from family farms in Madagascar, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, and Ecuador. Each bar is handmade with incredible reverence for the process and history of chocolate. They are bound in ornamental papers and golden foil like a collection of rare books. Each bar offers its own story of flavors, and no two are exactly alike...more.
She shouldn't be too caught up in fashion. I want to promote the individual and as I mature, I don't want the pieces to overpower who the woman is.
Spot on! Woman first. Fashion second. Repeat that till you become it.

And so it is this season, with the big autumn campaigns almost unanimously casting bona-fide models centre stage. These aren't models of the "super" variety either – the likes of Kate Moss, Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell are all household names and have long had celebrity status in their own right. This time around, the women chosen, while they may be well-known and even celebrated within the fashion industry, are united by their anonymity outside of it. Sceptics may argue that this development is at least partly attributable to budgetary constraints – it's no secret that big names require big salaries to match. But there seems to be rather more to it than that, prompting many insiders to wonder: is fashion's long-running love affair with celebrity finally over?
Good article titled: New model army: Why fashion has fallen out of love with its A-list clotheshorses.
It's about time those boring lifeless celebrities are gone. Now all Chanel has to do is stop using Karl to photograph their stuff; his photography is even more lifeless & boring.
