What's in the Magazines, May 08?

My favourite Sunday is to read magazines in the coffee shop nearby my house. Thus, I think I’d upload some interesting pictures from British Vogue and InStyle May issues. I love both magazines in the different sense. The former gives your artistic inspiration and style, while the latter focuses on more practical but still luxury dress sense.

The Wardrobe of Mrs Eva Longria Parker - For those of you who want to browse a wardrobe from Hollywood, here we go! Eva has the style that is tailored to her, nevertheless, it can sometimes be too dolly-like. However, Eva sounds down to earth, saying that "It's impossible to wear the 'right' dress if yhou have no money" thinking of her early days in Hollywood.
