February Vogue - Cheryl Cole, Samantha Cameron, and Spring fashion first look

January 14th, 2009

I got my February edition of Vogue through the post last week. You can subscribe to Vogue magazine here for only £29.70 a year, a saving of 30% on the cover price.

This latest edition has a fascinating feature on the nation’s sweetheart - how she has managed to stay immaculate and smiling through everything, with a husband who is super-successful, but not quite as interesting to us as she is. Yes, I’m talking about Samantha Cameron, political wife, mother of three, and of course creative director of Smythson. I do like her, mainly because she seems to wear a lot of Marc by Marc Jacobs (God I am so shallow).

Vogue also has a first look at the key pieces for Spring from top designers including Balenciaga, Jil Sander, and Donna Karan - we may be heading for a year of austerity but Spring fashion is soft and sensuous (and - hurrah - unironed).

As a fellow Geordie, though not one as successful, well-groomed, thin or rich, I found the Cheryl Cole interview a great read too. I love a rags to riches story, and she is amusingly indiscreet about other celebs she’s met. The accompanying photo shoot is suitably glam, and she looks amazing. Her hair is less bouffant and more 1970s glamazon.

I was so engrossed I managed to read most of the Vogue issue in one go in the bath (and no, I didn’t have to remove the coal first).

Right, I’m off to feed my (fashionably-attired) wippet.
