For this issue I took pictures.The last time I was in bed I was busy on my laptop. The best thing about when I was pre-cherry-popping young was not worrying about shav-ing my legs. But I lived and learn, and now I’m off to edit photos.

For this issue I took photos in my favorite city: Toronto.The last time I was in bed I was busy sleeping. If I could become a born-again virgin I’d lose it again. But I lived and learn, and now I’m off to get more.

For this issue I styled some babes. The best thing about when I young was I was care free as a bird. If I could change one thing about that fateful night it would be to not have his dad walk in on us. But I lived and learn, and now I’m off to hold out for the manboy of my dreams.

For this issue I shot the cover story! The best thing
about when I was young was truth or dare.If I could
become a born-again virgin I would make sure my boy-
friend knew. But I lived and learn, and now I’m off to
bigger and better things!

The last time I was in bed I was hitting the snooze button. The
best thing about when I was pre-cherry-popping young was
dancing to the Spice Girls. If I could change one thing about
that fateful night it would be what I know now. But I lived

Hi my name is Thistle & Clover. For this issue I
discussed sustainable style with the lovely Dujour
team. The last time I was in bed I was with my sig-
nifi cant other reading the paper after a full french
breakfast (coff ee croissant and jam anyone!?).

Dear Dujour, Let me just say how much I liked the photo shoots you had in the last issue. Your photographers have a great aesthetic sense. The “I’m a little tea cup” shoot and the Marie Antoinette series, both of which looked absolutely stunning, especially impressed me. With talent like that I’m sure your magazine will do very well. Keep up the good work. Ben

Dear Dujour, Wow, your magazine is amazing! I remember seeing the cover of the very fi rst issue two summers ago, and didn’t think too much of it. I don’t know how I came across it this time around, but glad I did. I see the magazine is inching towards being one of my new faves. The content is so great and the ideas are exactly what I love to read, especially last year’s Vintage Issue. You don’t really see mainstream magazine showcasing Etsy brands in the same light as Louis Vuitton. It will be exciting to see what else your editors continue to share. Maybe I should subscribe already? Kara

Dear Dujour, I modeled in your last issue and it took a while to track down a copy. I think you should let people know where to fi nd the magazine because it’s great! I have to be honest, I don’t really
read the magazines, I just rip out my pages and scan them, but I just so happen to have caught a glimpse of a story about a brand I liked, and from there I couldn’t put it down. It reminds me of Nylon, there are so many great indie designers that I otherwise never hear about. Hope you use me again! Daria
Dear Dujour, Ok so I got my copy of Dujour in the mail today, a tad later than I expected, but its okay. I love, love the cover, even better in person. I just found out you are doing a digital edition online as well which I love because I can easily click on the links to all the great brands you cover, like NEET if you have heard of them. I defi nitely want to see the next issue to see if you are subscription-worthy, but from what I hear on the blogs, this is going to be a magazine I want to keep an eye on. Thanks for bringing us something fun and interesting! Dani

editor’spicksWith summer just around the corner, it’s only
fi tting our attention has turned to no fuss, travel-friendly, stylish accessories. Thank-
fully, not only does emerging handbag brand Fleabags have us covered, but they’re also eco-friendly! Launched last season with a
limited run of 100 handmade bags produced in NYC, Fleabags products use only organic and vintage materials. When we discovered
the bags at indie boutique Thistle & Clover in Brooklyn, we reacted with a frenzy of excite-
ment. Designers Shira Entis and Alex Bell created Fleabags with the idea that fl ea mar-
ket haunts shouldn’t leave you looking like a bag lady. These dapper, large, lightweight, and sturdy carry-alls with covetable design
have all the room we need for a summer day trip to Montauk. And really, could we ask for
anything more?

FAsHIOnNEWSThe latest news, trends and must-haves for you...
MODMOTeL
During this time of year, the racks often can look like a spring meadow: fl oral with
soft hues. And of course we love fl orals, but sometimes we want our roses with
thorns. Motel, the refreshingly un-dainty line from England is here to provide you
with beautifully brash silhouettes that ac-centuate your curves, yet add structure
with 1950s London mod infl uences. Chic little black dresses aren’t the only thing Motel has to off er.
the apparel company also has created fantastic separates and accessories that are the perfect addition to any downtown girl’s
closet. Available through the Mod mega store, topshop, and its own online store, there’s no doubt this
well kept secret won’t be kept quiet for long.
tANgLED upiN bLuESynonymous with American culture, denim is certainly not a new concept in fashion; however, as denim remerged this spring in the form of patchwork shirts, sleek cocktail dresses, and even platform shoes, it brought with it a certain nostal-gia for faded-blue hues and distressed accents. For some time, leggings had dominated women’s stems all over the world, but with that trend on a down-swing, blue jean fabrics are back with a vengeance. Fancy a pair of jeggings, any-one? This season, fear not the dreaded monochromatic fashion faux pas; instead, pile on diff erent denim shades and textures—and let your accessories handle the embellishments.

ASOS COMiNg tO AMEriCA!the u.K.-based site, Asos.com—known for its unbeatable variety of trendy duds from numerous brands at amazingly aff ordable prices—currently does not off er goodies available for purchase with u.S. currency. Come September, however, the online cloth-ing retailer will cross the pond and enter the u.S. market with a web site strictly for those spending in u.S. dollars. this fall, the company’s 37,000 men’s and women’s styles will debut on a u.S.-friendly site, which will add 1,500 styles weekly and undoubtedly tempt the fashion obsessed. Having made seven percent of their revenue on u.S. sales in the past year, Asos executives hope the launch will expand their brand even further. for those awaiting the u.S. online premiere of Asos, hold tight, peruse the u.K. site, and pray for fall.
California cool is epitomized in Moise Emquies’ popular t-shirt line, Splendid. Known for creating a perfect combi-nation of fabrics to create the softest and cuddliest shirts possible, Emquies’ continues his love of functional fabrics
with his latest venture, Splendid Swim. Now that Splendid is hitting the sand, women everywhere can breathe a sigh
of relief and ease into their seaside skivvies. those breatha-ble, body-hugging fabrics that you love in your favorite tee
are applied to what surely will become your new favorite bathing suit: Heather gray triangles accented with brightly
colored horizontal stripes and fl irty, beaded accents that personify the laid-back beach-babe look without the use of
constricting fabrics. With so much swimwear fl ooding the market, this studded, sequined, and strappy swimwear by
Splendid is a welcome—and comforting—change.

Wipe that drool from your chin—it’s perfectly natural to covet the beautiful design of a shoe pos-
sessing all the features we adore. back zipper detail, an architec-
tural wedge, and a cool grey hue—what’s not to like? fortu-nately, there’s a lot more where that comes from. Los Angeles shoe designer LD tuttle never
fails to deliver exciting and wear-able styles for those of us who actually plan to hit the town in
our fashionable footwear. With a seemingly ever-expanding line of sandals, heels, wedges, and boots
that never disappoint, LD tuttle continues to to re-think standard shoe design to create pairs for all seasons. incipisi tat luptate mod-

Where is your free clothing stylist? Your
Rachel Zoe? Well, we’re here to tell you
that looking as glamourous as your favorite
celebrity is as easy as mixing colors,
throwing together diff erent patterns and

Avocado & carrot mask
· 1 avocado, mashed · 1 carrot, cooked and mashed · 1/2 cup heavy cream · 1 egg, beaten · 2–3 tablespoons honey Combine all ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Spread gently over your face and neck, and leave on for 10–15 min-utes. Rinse.
Avocados are loaded with vitamin E, making them a great moisturizer,. Carrots are brimming with beta-carotene, which is said to renew the skin cells, making this mask good for those looking to re-verse damage and cover up a multitude of past skincare sins (pre-prom night zit popping, anyone?). For those of you who have been forgetful about your SPF, this mask is a good option.

coffee scrub
· 3 tablespoons coffee grounds (organic and caffeinated) · 1 tablespoon salt (optional)
Brew a fresh pot of coffee. Mix grounds and salt. Be sure to use grounds within 20 minutes of brewing before oxidation occurs. Scrub mixture over entire body while in the shower. Rinse.
This scrub is amazing. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I had no clue the coffee grounds I throw into the trash every morning could be so powerful against dull skin. What a great way to recycle while also making myself, and my day, a little more beautiful. It was ridiculously easy to make this concoc-tion, and I immediately felt refreshed and renewed after my morning shower. The smell perked me right up and the quality could easily match the more expensive scrubs I’ve tried from the store. Bottle it up, stick it on a shelf at Sephora, and it would sell like hotcakes.
Bath cookies
· 2 cups finely ground sea salt · 1/2 cup baking soda · 1/2 cup cornstarch · 2 tablespoons light oil · 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil · 2 eggs · 5–6 drops essential oil of your choice Preheat your oven to 350° F. Combine all listed ingredients and form into a dough. Using a teaspoon of dough at a time, roll it gently in the palm of your hand until it forms a ball. Repeat until dough is gone, then gently place the pieces of rounded dough on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for ten minutes, or until they are lightly browned. Do not over bake. Allow the bath cookies to cool complete-ly. To use, drop 1 or 2 cookies into a warm bath and let dissolve.
Bath cookies, also known as bath balls or bath bombs, are a modern alternative to bubble baths. This recipe was not only fun to do, but the end product also was a lot of fun to use. Once they hit the water, the cookies fizz and bubble up like any store-bought alternative. They left my skin incredibly soft, and there was no residue in the tub to clean up afterwards.
You also can let your creativity run wild with scents and additives. Stop at the health-food store—they often carry an array of essential oils—or incorporate into the recipe a variety of flower petals and herbs. The bath time beauty possibilities are endless. Hint: Add fine glitter and vanilla oil and you’ve got a Dujour-worthy cupcake cookie!
Our adventurous beauty editor, Adriana, concocts dirty little treats that will get you clean, glowing and supple.
Homemade beauty regimens always have intrigued me. I’m a firm believer that chemicals belong in a science lab, not on my face. By now, perhaps it’s commonly known that some of the best ingredients for organic skin care can be found in your local grocery store. However, I was surprised to find the recipes that appealed most to my tummy were not always the best for my skin. Don’t be fooled by what’s tastiest. Looking into what fruits and veggies have to offer is the key to unlocking a healthier-looking you. So, while carrots may not be the sweetest treat, they are chock full of antioxidants that do wonders for your face. I tested out quite a few concoctions that didn’t make the cut, including a super greasy olive oil hair mask that I’m still washing out, as well as a tomato and oatmeal scrub that looked like a bowl of vomit. Rest assured: there were plenty that made the cut. The following recipes not
only will leave you looking fabulous, but also make you feel great on the inside.

Whether you’re heading for the beach, a pic-nic, or a night out with the girls, we got you covered. Beauty insiders, Marissa Mioressi

We catch up with the team at Rik Rak salon for their take on beauty and fashion this season from the
capital of summer: Miami!
1. How did your foray into the beauty/salon indus-try fi rst begin?
I had a clothing store in Coral Gables and did fash-ion shows frequently. I worked closely with various hairs salons and makeup artists to style the models and Rik happened to be a stylist at one of these salons. Well, that is the story both of how we met and how we merged our businesses together.
2. Rik Rak is one of the most aesthetically pleasing and well-designed salons in the Miami area. Where did the inspiration and concepts stem from? What as the mission statement and community market goals from the beginning?
We wanted to create a comfortable environment for our clients to have their hair and beauty servic-es done and enjoy a gourmet meal with a glass of champagne, while they browse our chic boutique.

Your drawings and photography have such a playful, col-orful, and whimsical style.Would you say that you enjoy showcasing the innocence of life through art? I would say so, yes. I don’t have anything against digital [photography], but I think that a handmade drawing, or film photos [goes] back to the basics—presenting the flaws of the paper or pencil, the stains. With photogra-phy it’s similar. You never know what you’re getting in the end. When I draw, I try to capture the essence of the models that I use. Since I can’t actually take pictures of them or see them on the actual runway, at least I can illustrate them, [by] dressing or putting some make up on [them] the way I want.
What made you fall in love with the Chanel Spring 2010 collection?
Fashion illustration lets you exaggerate, and … I like mix-ing a lot of techniques, [so] this Chanel collection was perfect—from the very modern Marie-Antoinette hair, to the make up, all the models looked perfect. Almost like caricatures, as if they were in a Sofia Coppola movie. From the moment I saw them, I wanted to draw them. It’s so cool to interpret them with color, paper, watercol-or stains that can’t be controlled, and whatever I found that could work.
Costa Rica seems like a beautiful place to live. What was it like growing up there?
It’s a lovely country! Small, but so beautiful, with lots of nature and different landscapes, [like] beaches, moun-tains, volcanoes. I grew up in the capital, but my dad has a farm, so I was always surrounded with nature and animals. My childhood was very quiet. For me there never existed videogames or internet … I had a simple childhood and I think that makes me admire the sim-plest things in life and helps me find new, creative ways to entertain myself.
What are the recurring elements you are drawn to when trying to get inspired? Do you like to draw certain types of girls?
I’m always up to date when it comes to design or il-lustration. I studied graphic design and painting, so I get my influences from artists like Toulouse Lautrec, Gustav Klimt, Alphonse Mucca … David Downton, Mercedes Helnwein, Stina Persson—among others. I don’t have any particular [type of] model that I like; mostly I find a picture that inspires me and instantly motivates me to draw.
What do you love about nature that is perfect for pho-toshoots?
I always try to go to a forest and take pictures, because it soothes me. Nowadays there are very few people that try to really recuperate those spaces and appreciate what we have here. I never know exactly what I’m going to photograph. It depends a lot on the weather, the colors of the sunset, the light, if there’s fog, the kind of flowers. I try not to make it a literal landscape picture. It’s like giving the trees, sun, or whatever I’m looking at, some personality—something to relate. It’s like a diary of my life.
This issue is The Virgin Issue. What do you remember and like most about the time of life where everything was innocent, before sex icons and media and TV reality shows?
I do remember when I was younger that the shows on TV were more ingenious. They were … more memorable than the shows today. [Today, television is] so imper-sonal, with no identity whatsoever. A lot of shows are rip offs of old ideas, or reality shows that are dull. I prefer shows like Seinfeld. [It] was very witty and didn’t need effects or sex to be successful.

From Charles Perrault’s Sleeping Beauty to Hans Christian Andersen’s Princess and the Pea and other fairytales famous the world over, beds serve as a symbol of innocence and luxury. As time goes on, these dreamy furnishings continue to inspire pure, luxurious, and comfortable living. Nothing seems to evoke the feeling of innocence more than the canopy beds and fl uff y duvets that illustrate the pages of fairytales we grew up reading. As princes kissed bedridden princesses to cure spells cast by witches, others searched for fair maidens able to feel a single pea beneath a stack of twenty mattresses. Romantic? Yes; but not all stories are as enchanting. Royalty, over the last several hundred years, has had some legendary troubles in the bedroom. In pre-Elizabethan England, Henry VIII infamously wedded and bedded several women in hopes to produce a male heir—only to publicly execute his wives if results did not turn out in his favor. Alternatively, Elizabeth I—often referred to as the “Virgin Queen”—vowed to her constituencies that she would forever remain a virgin, never taking a man back to her royal bed. Also ac-customed to abstaining were Marie Antoinette and her husband Louis XVI who, much to the chagrin of relatives, took eight years to consum-mate their marriage atop their gilded bed in 18th century Versailles. Regardless of these royals’ bedroom adven-tures—or lack thereof—the ornate furnishings and
embroidered upholstery that made up their four posters and canopies are the stuff of legend. The beds of royalty continue to inspire historians and design-obsessed twenty-somethings alike.Bedding fashion has become more in vogue as the demand for high thread count and designer sheets has increased. Stores like Urban Out-fi tters now showcase hip, punchy-patterned, aff ordable duvet covers; eco-friendly companies such as Rubie Green have emerged, presenting crisp, organic sheet sets; and web sites like Etsy.com sell vintage and handmade quilts available by the tens of thousands. Whether you want to play a part in your own fairytale or simply feel compelled to sleep like royalty, there are limit-less ways to outfi t your sleeping quarters ac-cordingly. Not everyone can sit in a lap of luxury, but we can at least decorate our queen-sized mattresses and dream about it.Nothing is more comfy than a landscape of cozy white pillows, sheets, and duvets. On the other hand, the dreamily mixed-and-matched pat-terned bed clothes in most Princess and the Pea illustrations are almost just as awe-inspiring. You might’ve heard the saying, “messy bed, messy head.” But if your bed is messy with the most divine sheet set and the most drool-worthy pat-terns and thread counts, then go ahead and lie on that bed you’ve made. We won’t judge you for it; not one bit.
