Vogue UK- Far from Heaven

Such a beautiful, beautiful retro inspired editorial featuring Shalom Harlow.

Stellar

“This project began from the theory that humans are made of cosmic matter as a result of a stars death. I created imagery that showcased this cosmic birth through the use of dust and reflective confetti to create galaxies. The models organic bodily expressions as they are frozen in time between the particles suggest their celestial creation. In addition, space and time is heightened by the use of three-dimensional animated gifs. Their movement serves as a visual metaphor to the spatial link we share with stars as well as their separateness through time.” – Ignacio Torres

I thought the whole of this project was beyond brilliant, not only in the imagery itself, but in the way it is portrayed and what exactly Torres wanted to express. Sure, the concept may be deemed a bit controversial in respects to people's views on creation, but to an extent, I believe that even then, one can appreciate this for it's creative matter.

Castles made of sand

 Hendrix inspired anything is amazing.  This editorial just embodied so much of that same free-spirited appeal that always backed Hendrix's character. It's a beautiful thing to see such a legend live on in so many ways, whether it be in the world of fashion or his music, but always his spirit and soul.

On a side note, floppy hats and feathers. Definitely feeling it.

Twinkle in time

I would never say that I'm a particular fan of Vanessa Hudgens. She's just another celebrity in the crowd to me, but this editorial from InStyle magazine slightly blew my mind. What I would do to have these pieces in my wardrobe. Magnificently beautiful and truly timeless.

Miss Buckley

 I have a major weakness when it comes to shots done with a retro feel to them. I just had to share!

Chasing wolves

Chasing Wolves by Harper Smith for Factory Winter 2010

If ever an image could be coined as both romantic and casually elegant simultaneously, it would be defined by these shots.

Bardot inspired

I found this editorial from Kurv Magazine to be gorgeous, definitely capturing the iconic Brigitte Bardot right down to the styling and the rich colors.

I'm lagging. To the max. I know. Being cameraless at this time is hardly motivating. I think you all can feel me on this. I've been on the grind between finishing up classes this week with finals, tons of baking, and attempting to plan a holiday party-ish thing. Oh and also, finally got myself a job at Ulta! Makeup, hair, and beauty products galore, it's just too good. ♥

Misfits in denim

I don't believe I've mentioned this before, but I have an extreme love for John Hughes's classic 80's films, such as Pretty and Pink, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Breakfast Club being my favorite! So when I strayed across this editorial in Nylon, inspired by just that, I was immediately in love and just had to share. The variety of denim is just gorgeous!

Great Balls of Frizz

If only it was that easy to look that fabulous strolling the street in the sweltering heat. Especially as far as hair-- mine tends to resemble a great ball of frizz. 

Things have made a turn around to the not so great lately, for reasons I won't go on droning on about, but, nevertheless, I'm searching for a little bit of a pick-me-up. It's these days where I am left to stop and wonder, what on Earth am I going to do with my life, what am I going to become? Ah, but those matters are far too serious to tamper with at the moment; some fun sounds far more welcoming.

In the meantime, I am continuing my purse search. Stuck in between a vintage Dooney and Bourke or an ultra-lovely tooled leather boho bag. 

Speaking of purses though, I still need to put up my giveaway for you lovelies! It will be up by tomorrow, I promise!

How are you dolls making the best of your hot summer days? ♥

We were wild, we were restless

Aren't these photos just dreamy? The desire to abandon all worries, all burdens and stress, then stumble upon such a serene sight stirs in me when I look at each of them. How wonderful to sit upon the cool lake waters and drift upon its surface, only surrounded by the peace and ripples about you.

In the real world of suburbia though, we are half way through the week, nearly the weekend, but I have to say, that isn't what I'm looking forward to most. Or at least not nearly as much as tomorrow. It will be a year together as of tomorrow for my boyfriend, Michael, and I! I'm not even quite sure what we will be doing yet, but it will surely be something. You dolls will find out soon enough. :)
