Time apart from my lovely boyfriend is looking fairly perilous when I have my eye on lovely talent such as Alexa Chung and now Elle Fanning! What us the world coming to? It seems that her older sister Dakota has been in the public eye for so long there's sort of a familiarity about her face but her features are fresh and she's grown up to become such a lovely lady. Allegedly she brings her 35mm Lomography Diana Mini decorated in motifs from Alice in Wonderland with her to runway fashion shoes. Bless her heart. There's sort of a contrast created by the black and white filter effect of this photograph- it accentuates her long mascara clad eyelashes but also some missing or new adult teeth coming through are made all the more obvious.
In some of her more recent media appearances posing in front of a camera for magazines, Elle looks quite mature with the arches of her eyebrows seeming more pronounced and framing her face revealing how delicate it is. While flicking through several images from a search engine she doesn't have a distinct look and without maintaining her roots it seems to diminish her beauty. From the serious and newly primed eyebrows you wouldn't guess that she's only thirteen years old.
I feel like such an old and unattractive crone or spinster just looking at her wildly styled clothes as well as the soft tone of her skin and hair. Being reminded of her age for me, someone who has just finished high school is a depressing reminder that people younger than me have had arguably more worldly experiences and have worked harder in their lives than I have. It's a sobering reminder that your time on Earth doesn't quite equate to experiences and actually living.
At the age of thirteen when most girls are at that awkward age of becoming a woman and leaving their childhood behind them, Elle Fanning already looks a steamy temptress and I can tell her star will be rising when more roles are created and available to her. Even if she doesn't become an actor and star prominently in roles, from what I can see her she could well become a model or at least a friendly and familiar face for Vogue magazine. She has the most delicate features as well as blond hair and although I have openly embraced my own appearance and don't consider myself to be an ugly duckling I would kill to look like that.
This dress reminds me a lot of the haute couture runway show of Jean Paul Gaultier in his resort collection of 2007 and I wouldn't be surprised id this dress was from the show. The spiked gold headdress which appears to fan out from blond hair is made all the more impressive by unusual structure of the garment in gold and a cape in bronze. The setting of a rock feature wall behind her as well as kitsch lamps complements the tones of her dress and makes the feather trail around her ankles seem even more pure. In this photograph Fanning looks like the embodiment of a domestic goddess- literally! I would have hoped her pose would have been just a bit more dramatic and impressive though considering her dress and attire but maybe the ordinary nature of the room poisoned her mindset. What she really needs behind her is an art installation of fluffy cotton clouds on fishing wire.
I've always wanted a surfboard not that I'm particularly talented at the sport though I have tried it before. As I recall it was very crowded going with a school group and a really tall guy from my year level ran over the top of my head with a board. Fortunately I saw him coming and decided to hide under the water and wait it out. If I knew the brand of the board held be Elle Fanning her I may be tempted to find one for myself as a vague decoration for my room. I love the dreamy pastel colours, reminds me of the pink cigarettes I posted about a while ago.
For having such delicate and dainty features it's refreshing to see Elle Fanning from this angle pushing up her jaw a bit to show off the angle of it. That of course leads our gaze over to see the gorgeous necklace positioned and cushioned by soft cream coloured scarves and her blue blazer matches the fierce colour of her eyes. It seems coordination comes so easily to this Hollywood star but I don't hate her for it. No, rather it gives me something to aspire towards when I choose what I wear for the day but it is hard when you have naturally brown eyes and brown hair- although my favourite colour purple does go well with my own features.
She's just a bit more than a pretty face, at the age of thirteen Elle seems to have a unique and eclectic style that is as dorky as it is adorable. I can't think of many people willing to wear cat's eye framed glasses let alone this shade of burnt orange but she pulls it off with effortless ease. I love the lace melding with the gingham and floral prints as well- very pretty and vintage. I think it's fair to say we can all expect great things from this young starlet whether it be fashion wise or behind the lens of a camera for a movie but at the tender age of thirteen I wish I had as many opportunities as she does.
In days of old when I thought using a second hand iPod touch was the coolest thing ever I had a few pictures of models I picked up here and there; the first being a topless model sporting a nipple piercing, belly bar as well as nose piercing with brown hair- more commonly known as Abbey Lee Kershaw who has since been dubbed as a super model. One of the others was still so young she had braces on but long luxurious flowing blond hair in curvaceous volume by the name of Sky Ferreira whom everyone was still waiting to mature and explode on to the scene. Since then, nearly all of the google images of her wearing her braces have gone and have instead been replaced with smouldering stares and glazed looks as well as her signature blond locks. I would kill to have hair as long as hers and of that texture.
I love her styled with her hair looking natural and much like a ragamuffin but when straightened the colours and tones of her hair all melt together, the only thing being bright are her luscious lips. It's possibly one of the best assets about her face, other than those big eyes and I don't think I ever have lips as full as that- unless I've eaten something spicy or I've been clumsy enough to bite my own lip.
Shown above in her own magazine article entitled 'Star Search: Sky Ferreira- Hurricane Lolita' and I think she really does fit the mould of being a young star since she's got miles and miles of images and photographs which she's starred in as well as a career as a model, singer, songwriter and actress. She's already achieved so much in her short life and it's rather depressing to compare her success to my own when she's just a year older than I am. Although she's most noted for her career in music, I think I prefer her best as a talent and a model.
As viewed by the friendly and mostly teenage blogging audience at Tumblr, Ferreira has been described as 'looking drunk in all her photographs' and anyone who can say such unkind criticism about this young starlet clearly hasn't seen her modelling photographs properly. The glazed look in her eyes is due to an unusual hazel colour that can look a lot brighter with professional photographic flashes as well as dark and sometimes smudgy eyeliner about the eyes. However, I think she looks rather fierce in many of her photo shoots and although her hair is wild and wavy which may radiate an untidy and inept look, it is her signature look which has really put her on the map as a recognisable and attractive model.
She's really quite a quirky character to fall in love with as well- I think some of my favourite pictures of Sky Ferreira are when she's wearing her own clothing or something in black. I have seen a fantastic photograph of her wearing a smock style dress all in leather with sheer tights which were nicely contrasted and complemented by her long and blond ragamuffin hair. Only someone of unique ingenuity and style could make such unusual glasses seem so cool- must be those masses of curls.
I myself had a front fringe which covered a whole side of my face and eye but I could never have the confidence and tenacity to look as fierce as Sky does here- although I never did wear red lipstick or the distant relics of pink and purple streaks in my hair at the time. I love the matching of reds between her lips and cardigan as well as the fine use of lip liner for full definition and oomph when it comes to her lips, arguably one of her best modelling attributes.
Whenever I view a photograph with such beautiful and romantic soft focus and arching finesse I long to be one of those pretty and popular girls with blond hair that would go out with mascara tinted eyelashes and lipstick ready to ruin in a moment of alcohol-fuelled passion. I suppose I blog to precariously live through the lives of beautiful people and hope to be one day recognised as a great blogger/ writer and get invited to fashion week celebrations and events.
It's hard to believe these two figures pictured side-by-side are one and the same person isn't it? On the left is the more current and up to date Sky Ferreira whom everyone is a little more familiar with sporting blond hair and red lips and on the right is her grungy and younger self with purple and pink streaks in her long dark hair with eyeliner full of attitude. Not a lot has changed in terms of her dress sense, but it's amazing the way a change of hair colour can seem to change how approachable a person is and their attitude as reflected from their physical appearance.
I've always been a little dubious when it comes to covering ponytails with a section of hair from the head, but it looks really great and natural in this photograph- a contrast to the lipstick and pale porcelain complexion. Although the curls here have obviously been perfected by a curling iron, it's hard to believe someone with a face as beautiful as Sky's can also be graced with perfect hair! Although the flash appears to have been to close to her face, there's a great contrast of red nails and matching red lipstick as well as yellow hypnotic eyes in the same shade as her hair. Some people really win when it comes to the lottery of life in the looks department, huh?
