Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

I am one of the biggest Harry Potter nerds you'll ever meet! My obsession started when I was only in the first grade. My dad would read to my brother and I every night before bed. One night that book happened to be Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Since that first night reading, I was hooked! I dreamed of Quidditch tournaments, Potions classes, and receiving my Hogwarts letter when I turned 11. Full disclosure I was disappointed when my owl from Hogwarts never arrived.

I had all the books on tape, read all the books countless times, dressed up as Hermione one year for Halloween (Still looking for my Ron...), and even made my dad read the 7th book out loud on a plane the day it was released. My apologies to all the upset people around us on that plane home from Chicago! My Dad was completely making his little girl's day. (Thanks Dad! Still one of my favorite childhood memories.) When I first heard news about the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child script it was like I was a little kid all over again! I HAD to get a copy. When I was supposed to be packing for college, I was instead lying in my bed engrossed once again in the wizarding world.

I really cannot put the book down! It's been so long since I was last read about Harry, Hermione, and Ron. It's good to be back!

The September Issue: Vogue

Crisp pages that crinkle and crack with every turn as they are separated. From Ralph Lauren to Prada and Dior, just the first couple pages allude to its exclusivity. Could I be talking about anything other than the September Issue of Vogue? Nope... The release of the September issue is a holiday for a select few. For those working for Vogue, it means the first second to stop, breath and sleep in months. Every year it gets bigger and better, and this year was no different. Beyoncé graced the cover looking like a piece of art, but honestly when has B not looked like perfection? The icing on the cake, Amazon partnered with Condé Nast and made it even easier to receive this highly anticipated issue. Amazon will deliver it straight to your door in a limited edition custom VOGUE box. 

Because I've been on-the-go all summer, I decided to pick up a copy at the nearest Target. Target was allowed early release rights of the magazine, and was released in stores on the 14th. The cashier checking me out laughed and joked that I must really like reading. He's not kidding! This September issue of Vogue is 832 pages of inspiration. 

The issue over all was spectacular, the editorials were fun and fresh, and the ads featured the models who are most relevant today: Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Tavi Gevinson, Karlie Kloss and Margaret Zhang to name a few. Below are a few of my favorite spreads.

Pixie Madness

Another celebrity has traded in their locks for the newly trending pixie cut. Beyoncé is the latest to chop her long locks for a less high maintenance pixie.

Just because Beyoncé is the latest to sport the trend, doesn't mean she was the first.

Emma Watson

Anne Hathaway

Miley Cyrus

Rihanna

This is what I want to know, will the every day girl chop her lovely locks for this new trend?
