ATTACK OF THE TWENTY-SOMETHINGS

In homage to <i>ELLE's</i> 25th anniversary, our favorite twenty-something stars are gracing the individual collectible covers, and also dropping a few words of wisdom they learned during their first quarter of life. As a girl lumped into this same age group, this celebration of the twenty-somethings hits a chord for me. Lots has happened in the past few years, lots have been learned, and so so so much more is left to be experienced. My friends and I are allll struggling right now. Yes, we have our degrees. Yes, we HAD jobs. Yes, we did our fair share of internships (gosh I had SO MANY). Yes, we loved. Yes, we lost. Where to now? Not quite sure. I just know we're all going <i>SOMEWHERE.</i><br /><br />If I were to be interviewed for this issue of <i>ELLE</i>, my quote would be:<br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><i>"IT IS BETTER TO HAVE MADE A MISTAKE AND LEARNED FROM IT, THAN TO HAVE REGRETTED NEVER MAKING THE MISTAKE AT ALL."</i></span><br /><br />Here's to the next twenty five.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1KeOFeMbcmtMGDDxkBsiFIddvEfPnc6S11lpDVAO9F5YLxUV-QY_KUthGZjThU1rD348mn8J58oFh1QRwm_WXgIoA1WuQHXTa0oKox_QjOBCadqeRHi2T1KNEuAyRTr5K-3FIxpjKoVo/s1600/Camilla-Belle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1KeOFeMbcmtMGDDxkBsiFIddvEfPnc6S11lpDVAO9F5YLxUV-QY_KUthGZjThU1rD348mn8J58oFh1QRwm_WXgIoA1WuQHXTa0oKox_QjOBCadqeRHi2T1KNEuAyRTr5K-3FIxpjKoVo/s640/Camilla-Belle.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i> CAMILLA BELLE </i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>"I'm both young and old.

FFfT: INSPIRATION

Reading through my daily BLOGLOVIN' roll, I stumbled upon the coolest thing. New York Magazine's fashion blog, <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2010/09/one_word_one_shot.html">The Cut</a> made a slideshow of photos given by 100 designers. And not of just any photo -- it is a single picture along with a required one-liner, as a point of inspiration that captures the whole vibe of their upcoming Spring 2011 shows. It's not often that we get to see mood boards or quirky photos that let us into the minds of these fashionable artists, so therefore I was pleasantly amused [and<i> inspired</i>] while clicking through the collection. <br />Below are some of my faves.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Q1RalmJavmRVGNBQ-35sFdD0EpySlp0zzbuZ0DttLSqWQEDoyyXya3rtlPKCyf_CQVrSfajNzw-SQasQyZ7dwpOsfkQFWRpqfcLLkoerhk6y4I85bbIaBN9lrHflHs3o9uM6SKbwgGI/s1600/Alexander-Wang+" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Q1RalmJavmRVGNBQ-35sFdD0EpySlp0zzbuZ0DttLSqWQEDoyyXya3rtlPKCyf_CQVrSfajNzw-SQasQyZ7dwpOsfkQFWRpqfcLLkoerhk6y4I85bbIaBN9lrHflHs3o9uM6SKbwgGI/s640/Alexander-Wang+" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">ALEXANDER WANG: "WHITE OUT"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqtYzXHhDHCSkUB2GnQ9iLbQl8WDDHXDgrw46ZvSAED7Z0uRjuC6YLWegHhGEMY_9ZQm5GlsAO2QiN-yZK5BF4QoXH8b5SsdPNms0sTv2fNAbzwpHdV1QP6yC4pBKr4MLDGIlB62DvkDM/s1600/Charlotte-Ronson+" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="494" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqtYzXHhDHCSkUB2GnQ9iLbQl8WDDHXDgrw46ZvSAED7Z0uRjuC6YLWegHhGEMY_9ZQm5GlsAO2QiN-yZK5BF4QoXH8b5SsdPNms0sTv2fNAbzwpHdV1QP6yC4pBKr4MLDGIlB62DvkDM/s640/Charlotte-Ronson+" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">CHARLOTTE RONSON: "ADORN"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxMrTZE3N2XumLvoahyphenhypheng4b10ipHJLwDutUUid2Csoc7PwIQCqVqaczyqyLe_UIDyLRRJIdHbjO5v9wGL84tm0KnyA_XCTDRjg4wGXD6jgRV85ch7hxAzmeRGjvuziYUaS8xtcp7x098vY/s1600/Narciso-Rodriguez+" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxMrTZE3N2XumLvoahyphenhypheng4b10ipHJLwDutUUid2Csoc7PwIQCqVqaczyqyLe_UIDyLRRJIdHbjO5v9wGL84tm0KnyA_XCTDRjg4wGXD6jgRV85ch7hxAzmeRGjvuziYUaS8xtcp7x098vY/s640/Narciso-Rodriguez+" width="498" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> NARCISO RODRIGUEZ: "THE BEETLES"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE9gHHlVmnc7jEvmh0KdftMdtvwtbdLHRm74XC_PPoc9QENPhmxqXrTIDMf2GNZyInGv2D4ObeomXgqf2MSn0E8lfSHD_-ohGOsUo7fgb96zD4mEoTlkEGcFgxc0bmdsUKqm7902T-yzw/s1600/rag-and-bone+" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE9gHHlVmnc7jEvmh0KdftMdtvwtbdLHRm74XC_PPoc9QENPhmxqXrTIDMf2GNZyInGv2D4ObeomXgqf2MSn0E8lfSHD_-ohGOsUo7fgb96zD4mEoTlkEGcFgxc0bmdsUKqm7902T-yzw/s640/rag-and-bone+" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">RAG & BONE: "SUBSAHARA"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghzslD7OuHERNyF3yyoARiCsb8x1a_lmaWDp0aMBobtyFqhCVpUR5Hi_1caqgNC3XEigJhSGQKMf6hxsnqWLEcloeql0apTATr0zEHEs1ffne3wWgX-wo2_fYBbZC4WEv6CFWQMO0feCw/s1600/Thakoon+" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghzslD7OuHERNyF3yyoARiCsb8x1a_lmaWDp0aMBobtyFqhCVpUR5Hi_1caqgNC3XEigJhSGQKMf6hxsnqWLEcloeql0apTATr0zEHEs1ffne3wWgX-wo2_fYBbZC4WEv6CFWQMO0feCw/s640/Thakoon+" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">THAKOON: "MATTRESS"</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It'll be very interesting to see how these inspirational pictures will play out once Spring 2011 shows debut.
