Having covered style and beauty in
two previous books, American magazine
Nylon has taken on music in
their third book, Play. Behind the cool cover there's some fab music-related style and beauty inspiration, as well as interviews and dream mixtapes compiled by some of my favourite current bands and solo artists.
The first section covers "Icons" past and present – from Marianne Faithfull to Amy Winehouse, with The Slits, Missy Elliott, Kim Gordon, Kylie and many more in between.

Blake Lively and Leighton Meester each take a different cover of this month's edition of US mag
Nylon (yes, the very same one that has
Hannah Murray in) so you can pick up your favourite
Gossip Girl and proudly show
whose team you're on. I'm still edging towards Serena, mainly because of her awesome wardrobe and ridiculously perfect hair. Jealous.

The
Skins party may be temporarily over in the UK, but for the US (well, those who haven't been watching along with us via various internet devices) it may be just beginning!
Hannah Murray, who played spaced-out Cassie, is featured in US mag
Nylon this month – talking about her plans to go to Cambridge to study English in the autumn. She also has a small role in new Colin Farrell movie
In Bruges.

How cute does Rachel Bilson look in
Nylon? The photos are from before
she had a fringe cut, I think her outfits in this shoot are so gorgeous. During the photoshoot, Rachel took a little time out to chat and you can watch the video after the cut.
