unnatural nature

Something about this editorial really caught my attention and I would think (most likely) it was the juxtaposition of extremely bright colored garments against a gray and unnatural looking landscape. Mert & Marcus are known for their ability to pull off these dark cinematic vingettes but manage to leave just enough beauty to draw you in to the spectacle...

Once again an editorial with huge teased-up hair the color of straw just like the last editorial I posted. I think it may be time to buy a teasing comb. I also think the changing of seasons has put me in the mood for more color in my wardrobe which I may start working on some time in the very near future.

Have a lovely day, everyone!

Spellbound

I have a confession to make, I’ve been really awful at reading my W magazines for the past 6 months or so (I've been subscribed for years and it used to be one of my favorites back when I first started reading fashion mags).  It just got a little uninteresting a few months in a row and then I just stopped looking at it.  Luckily, I did randomly take a peek this month (despite the ridiculous cover and spread with Kim Kardashian – I’m warning you, it’s not a pretty site) and managed to come across this little gem of an editorial...

It's true that in general I do tend to love anything with a Hitchcock-vibe but this is also so playful and full of color. I'm sure I'll be wearing bright colors all weekend now thanks to these gorgeous shots.   Hope you enjoy your weekend too where ever you are!


PS: thanks to everyone who commented on the Pink Ribbon post! I'm making my donation this weekend. xxdjrd

I tried to bring a few of my magazines along with me on my UK trip but I am only just getting a chance to read them. This will explain why it took me so long to stumble upon this gorgeous ed in the Jan 09 issue of W...

Once again rekindling my love of chloe dresses, valentino coats, ultra-feminine bows and, of course, chanel bags.
