Here on Fashion, we've covered every one of 18-year-old Lottie Moss's fashion career milestones: there was her first fashion editorial, her first runway appearance and her first major campaign; and of course we're here to bring you her latest one: her first glossy cover. Or, covers, rather, for the March issue of L'Officiel Netherlands. They grow up so fast, don't they?

Photographed by Bryan Adams, Kate Moss's younger half-sister appears on three covers — one of which features the Gucci dress that's become ubiquitous on spring glossies. She wears Prada and Dior in the other two, styled with low-key hair and a piercing gaze.

L'Officiel obviously asked Moss about her supermodel relative, and Moss obviously insisted that she's her own person: "I am who I am and I do what I want, whether that is modelling or anything else," she tells the magazine, according to The Daily Mail. "The success of my sister does not affect me in my choices. I feel no pressure in that respect."

Given that we're only halfway through February and she's already landed aVogue editorial, a Botkier contract and now this, it's shaping up to be a productive 2016 for Lottie Moss. See all three covers in the gallery below.

CARRY ON: GET READY FOR THE GOVERNORS BALL

Clap your hands and say yeah because music festival season is in full swing, with New York’s Governors Ball happening June 5 to 7 on Randall’s Island. This fest consistently has one of the best line-ups around and 2015 is no exception. Headliners include Drake and Deadmau5—two of the 6’s finest exports—alongside the likes of The Black Keys, Lana Del Rey and Icelandic icon Björk. Keep an eye out for festival-loving celebs like Kate Bosworth, Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, who (fingers crossed) will bring along her new bestie Taylor Swift.

With three action-packed days ahead of you, being prepared is a must. The organisers of the festival have you covered on the sustenance front (have you seen their list of food vendors?!), but you’ll want to plan your outfits and pack your bag ahead of time so you can focus on having fun. For the ultimate style-meets-function festival look, go low-maintenance in a pair of denim cut-offs and a T-shirt and customize with accessories. Afringed bag instantly channels spring’s 1970s rocker trend, while glittery espadrille sandals are ideal for daylong wear and night-time dancing. Top it all off with somecolourful jewellery, a pair of sunnies and, most importantly, a water bottle to stay hydrated.

FINAL TOUCH: BLAMMO, BLUCHERS

Broken-in jeans have a new best friend.

An effortless wardrobe that requires little to no forethought. That’s the dream, isn’t it? Grab and go. Alas, not always practical. When you have a serious work thing, a wedding, a hot date, let’s be real––you’re going to be spending a little extra time getting ready, and getting that look just right. But for normal, quote unquote, life, who wants to agonize, or give excessive consideration, to what clothes they’re going to wear?

That’s why we have broken-in jeans, and jean jackets. A few comfortable, favorite tees. A sweater, or hoodie to throw on at a moment’s notice. These wardrobe workhorses look good, make us feel good, and just get it done. We’re willing to bet you’ve got one pair of jeans that you wear a lot more than any other. So, with that, allow us to suggest an appropriate boot.

It’s a rugged little riff on a Derby, or a Blucher, as some prefer to call it. In dark brown, this leather number doesn’t look too shabby with those jeans you can’t bear to part with. It’s wool-lined, for warmth and comfort, and the rubber sole and cemented bottom means they can stomp around with the best of ‘em. There’s no quit in these boots. Just like those jeans you always reach for.

FINAL TOUCH: BOARDROOM BALLER

Dare to flip your wardrobe on its head.

One thing. Just one small thing. A pivotal wardrobe element–a sartorial focal point if you will–to wrap it all up. These are the crucial articles that add flourish and elan, and charge your sense of style with unassuming, but impactful, little touches. You need them. Everybody does, frankly. A watch, sunglasses, a cool bag, a belt, a t-shirt even. Or, if we may, a pair of sneakers.

Here’s a bold observation: sneakers have become standard-issue in today’s youthful workplace culture. Right? Yes. Weekend and casual wear has commingled with boardroom wear. Do you know anyone under the age of 40 who wears a suit and tie to work? Unlikely. Dynamic bosses, ICYMI, rock high tops now. They don’t think twice about blending a jacket and an untucked, button-down shirt with skinny jeans and “unconventional” footwear. Because it’s not unconventional anymore to, pardon the awkward idiom, be all business on top and party on the bottom.

So do that thing. Liven up your shoe game with stylish, two-toned black high tops.Sharpen the look with a blazer, or a cardigan perhaps, a smart dress shirt, and narrow, fitted trousers. Cuff it, you’re done. And just like that, welcome to the new normal.

DETAILS DETAILS: INTO THE GLOSS

Rock the high-shine trend in high-style by investing in a few key patent pieces.

From Calvin Klein and Dior to Rag & Bone and Edun, one of the most conspicuous fall 2015 trends–from boots and bags to skirts and coats–is look-at-me patent leather, be it real or faux. There’s a reason why both stylish mods and fashion-forward punk rock rebels embraced all things patent–the high-shine finish is as attention-grabbing and versatile as it is durable on the dancefloor (or in the mosh-pit).

To get the look and take the trend by storm, invest in a few key pieces that let you rock the trend from day to night, office to off-the-clock. Whether you opt for a stiletto, a block heel, or anything in between, a black patent ankle bootie is the ultimate accessory to add to your ensemble to max out the trend. No matter what heel style you settle for, patent booties will look just as chic and sophisticated paired with dark jeans and a moto jacket by day as they will with a mini-dress and overcoat by night. Whether you’re headed to the office or en route to the cocktail bar, you can’t go wrong by throwing on an over-the-shoulder black patent bag to add extra lustre to the look.

 

 

9 Things to Consider When Choosing a Wedding Venue

Next to your wedding dress, choosing a wedding venue is one of the more important – and most expensive – wedding decisions you will make. Here are a few things to consider before booking your wedding venue.

1. Budget

Dancing the night away doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. Simply start with a budget in mind and be open to options. For example, you can save money on multiple rental fees if you host your wedding and reception at the same place. (Keep in mind that a traditional religious ceremony may have to take place in a church; be sure to ask up front.) You also may want to consider getting married off-season. Many wedding venues offer discounts to brides and grooms who skip the summer reception.

2. Size

Make sure the venue’s size matches your guest list. A too-big venue means wasted space – and wasted money. On the flip side, a too-small venue will create overcrowding. Ask the event coordinator about the venue’s capacity number and aim to be just slightly under the capacity limit.

3. Style

Your wedding venue should match your personality. If you’re more traditional, go with a more traditional option, like a ballroom or reception hall. If you’re more creative, you may want to consider something out-of-the-box like the following:

• A Bridge: Yes, you heard it right. The U.S. is filled with beautiful (and no-longer-in-service) wooden bridges set atop babbling brooks and lush lands. If you’re considering an outdoor celebration, why not make the most of these retired rustics? (Just make sure to call your city’s Division of Public Services for permission first.)
• A Museum: Museums offer bold atriums and vast halls that can comfortably accommodate hundreds. Find a museum that matches your unique style, and check the museum’s website for details on rental policies.
• A Vineyard: In addition to serving (you guessed it) great wine, vineyards offer beautiful vistas of rolling, grape-accented hills. They’re the perfect spot to make memories with your friends and family.
• A Zoo: Lions, tigers and bears – oh, my! Zoos are a wonderfully unique place to celebrate your union. (As long as you don’t mind the occasional roar of a lion during the toast.) They’re naturally designed to offer open spaces, shade areas, and interesting conversations throughout the night.

4. Season

Just like style, you probably have a season that best matches your personality. If you and yours are free-spirited, consider an outdoor celebration during the late spring, early summer months. (Make sure to have an indoor back-up bad weather plan.) If you’re more traditional, consider an indoor winter wedding.

5. Food Quality

If your venue of choice provides in-house catering, sample their menu before paying the facility deposit. If you’re employing an off-site caterer, ask your venue to provide detailed information on how it handles food setup, presentation and service. You’ll also want to make sure your caterer can use the venue’s kitchen facilities.

6. Customer Service

Even the most perfect of places can be soured by bad service. If you’re skeptical about the venue’s response times, enthusiasm or customer service, trust your gut and move on to another venue.

7. Rules and Regulations

Venues have strict policies regarding alcohol, smoking and noise. If you want to serve alcohol at your reception, make sure your venue is licensed to serve. Also, make sure guests are aware of where they can and cannot smoke.

8. Accessibility

If seniors or individuals with disabilities are on your guest list, make sure your venue offers accommodations that meet their needs.

9. Fine Print

Don’t forget to get a confirmation of the cost, date, time and additional details in your final contract. Don’t sign your name on the dotted line until you fully understand what’s included and excluded.
