I ♥ This Magazine! (This Month's Magazine Choice): Seventeen Magazine
Every month I'll post different 'This Month's Magazine Choice' choices.
Here's whats in store in SEVENTEEN Magazine this month. And why you should go pick up your own copy now!
Gracing the cover of SEVENTEEN Magazine this month is Vampire Diaries star, Nina Dobrev.Check her out below!
On the cover Nina is wearing a fuchsia and magenta-colored knit turtleneck sweater with matching knitted scarf along with a wide-brimmed, red leather skirt. Matched with a multicolorful, tribal necklace that serves as an accessory.
Here’s what the 23-year-old actress had to share with the mag:
On Her Character's Abusive Relationship In The Perks Of Being A Wallflower—
“It's a really heavy topic, and I hope my character gives girls some perspective. I think more than anything, girls allow abuse to happen because they’re embarrassed it happened and that they allowed it to happen. They know it's not right. There's no excuse for it. That’s why it’s so important to show girls that they can admit that it's not their fault.”
“The first time I was on the cover of Seventeen, the cover line said 'Nina: Why she wouldn’t date any of her co-stars.' And then cut to two years later…it's funny that I said that, but you know what? It was honestly what I believed at the time. I didn’t want to be dating one of my costars—my goal on the show was to be professional. But sometimes you can’t help who you have a connection with, and you can only fight it for so long—which I did for a really, really long time.”
“I try not to read best-dressed lists or anything like that. For every good thing, there will often be a not-so-nice thing people would say. My mom sends me lots of messages like, 'You’re standing next to Kate Winslet! Oh my god, I love Kate Winslet!'”
Check out some more pics of Nina, that also feauture in the mag below!
But wait, There's more!..

“I want to go to Harry Potter Land! I actually should text Emma Watson to see if she can hook us up with a backstage pass or something. That’s the perk of doing a movie with Emma called The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.”
“Girls weekend with the Vampire Diaries
girls has become a big deal! It's our quality time. It's so much fun to
unload and not feel guilty complaining or talking about your
insecurities or bonding over things that you thought you were on your
own about. When we get there, we go to dinner or cook dinner together, watch movies, lie on the beach, and take tons of pictures."

Designer Spotlight: Thuy Duong Nguyen
On this blog, apart from featuring well-known fashion designers, I find it important to also feature some of the more up-and-coming, underground designers who are creating their own trademark in the fashion world too.
Today's designer hails all the way from Vietnam. Thuy Duong Nguyen ,who moved to Germany at an early age, has been
influenced by two strong cultural forces. Her designs effortlessly unite
Western style with the charm and intricacy of the Far East, creating
pieces that align with the spirit of the young generation. Handcrafted
Vietnamese embroideries feature in innovative fabric contrasts, creating
pieces that exude confident femininity and lightness of being. In
exploring the affinities between traditional rural textiles and
contemporary cuts, THU THU constructs a new urban aesthetic that
contains echoes of distant places and older times.
Many of her designs have been sported by the vast majorities of Hollywood's elite, from actors to singers and models.
Check out some of her artistic and intricate designs below for some fashion admiration and inspiration.
