Scandalously Fabulous

2 April 2009 • Kimberly • Leave a Comment

The editorial is rather self-explanatory.

Helena Christensen + Ed Westwick [a.k.a. the sexiest boy on earth] = an editorial depicting my dream life.

Where I, of course, would take Helena’s position.

1

The styling & clothing? Absolutely impeccable.

Demurely yet provocatively sexy, feminine and classy all at the same time.

My style and dream wardrobe captured precisely in a few photos.

2

Luxurious, simple, and alluring.

Slightly undone hair with red lips and nails.

Fitted LBDs, pencil skirts, silk blouses and thigh-high stockings.

With a generous amount of diamonds.

3

This is what I strive for.

To age with grace, to retain elements of sexiness,

Even after the conventional age in which a woman in regarded as “sexy”.

4

xoxo,

La C.

    YES to the power of 10000! I saw this editorial some time back too, on some gossip site I think haha. It was smokin’! And I was drooling so bad I was a lost cause.

    I have to admit though, that even though Ed Westwick is quite the dishy Brit boy we all can’t help but love, it was Helena who won me over with this editorial. I love this woman’s eye colour and the way they are so deep set like beautiful jewels. And her I am amazed at how soft and sultry her lips can look despite a very hard lipstick colour. She is too beautiful. ♥

    Yay for dancing in Tokyo! I don’t have much hair to swish though, haha. But I’ll do my best! (: As they say in Japan, ganbarimasu!

    Love from the blogtwin,
    SEAH!ui <3

    i totally agree, helena is just ageless! that beauty will always be relevant no matter what year or season. but i think its the other way around though? what any guy would give just to be in that shoot with helena!

    anyway, thanks for dropping by my site! i adore yours and i’d love to exchange links? i hope that would be okay, let me know!

    much love

    Sort of (about my wordpress blog), I am just trying wordpress out to see if I really like it. Then I might switch over. But the blogspot one still has all the reg stuff on it.

    Helena is what, in her late thirties – early forties now? I’d say, if we bothered to exercise, take care of our skin and not eat crap, we’d age gracefully too, but she would always be exeptionally beautiful to me

    I love it, I’ve seen this photoshoot a few weeks ago I’m still hoping that HB would return every week with new shots:) This is so perfect. Considering that Helena could be Ed’s mother by her age, I always have the line from GG on my mind: “We all know that Chuck has a thing for older women…” 🙂
