Whispy...

Isn't this just beautiful? I love her windswept hair and transparent skirt. The mix with oxford shoes in a dark metallic and a structured blazer strikes a wonderful balance, I think. The model looks effortlessly like  a modern Grecian goddess. Light, airy and quite ethereal; but confidently strong. The styling, the palette, the make-up... it looks like she rolled out of bed looking radiant. Natural and fresh. Just breathtaking.

A New Venus

"Venus Rising" is a spectacular shoot. It definitely reminds me of Venus, but in a ver different, couture way. Of course, Venus would have have been supple, voluptuous; not skeletal. Perhaps Venus is rising from the old painting to a modern, sickly body. Nonetheless, the styling is gorgeous. It looks rich and worldly, elegant and envious. Wouldn't you love to wear these goddess worthy gowns? The slicked back hair is striking, with the dark make up equally jarring. But that's part of the fantasy.

Mixing it Up

I'm trying to be more daring with my outfits. After seeing this photo shoot and this style post, I was inspired to start mixing prints & textures, and layers jewelry. I'm very by the book and it looks like I should start looking at different books! So long, jeans and a striped tee! Hello, floral cardi, striped tee  and polka dot pants!

Also, how much do you love that metallic pouf in her arms? I want one in my house!

Seeing Double

Facing the conundrum of growing out my hair, I fell in love with this photo spread in Elle Korea. This messy pageboy is so chic and cool. I'm just so into this spread. Their makeup is fresh (great lip color) and the styling is great. I really love how they play up the twin element. I'm a twin, so naturally I love seeing twins featured. And how rad are those sunglasses? They remind me of these. Feeling inspired. 

Vintage Vogue

 How rad are these Vogue covers from the 1950s? I'm always so fascinated by archived magazine covers. Just think how influential, imaginative, contemporary, and possibly controversial these covers were when published. Today we post half naked, and sometimes nude, women and men on magazines. Dressed androgynously, rail thin, sporting new hair styles, avant-garde make up, or minimalist styles, these covers dictate a culture's look. Although they don't feature the headline news of the day, fashion magazines offer us such a cool perspective of the time. It captures how people lived, because you live in clothes. I love the monochromatic purple, as well as the black and white. How dramatic! And isn't it interesting how often cars are featured?
