smile like you mean it

Love these. It's nice to see models having fun!

Plus, I love that their personalities shine through. =)

(And, I can relate! It's fun to make faces in pictures sometimes, hehe!)
If you're having fun, why not show it? 

ruffles + bows

I've always loved ruffles and bows, no matter what my style has been or what the current trends are.

I just love this shot. No idea where I found it, but I'm completely digging the styling as well as the lighting and the model's pose!

current model obsession: anna selezneva

I loved Anna in this YSL ad for their Elle Shocking perfume. Seeing this ad last summer may have been the first time I really noticed her as a model, and she is just gorgeous! (Sadly, I don't think this ad or the perfume was ever released in the US.) I can't think of a time where I didn't like a YSL ad, and the fact that Anna is the model here makes it even better! 

I know everyone's been posting this editorial shot by Camilla Akrans for Numero Magazine,  but I think the styling and photography are amazing. And look at her cheekbones!

is it summer yet?

This photo always makes me feel like i should be eating ice cream on the beach. I wish the weather would figure itself out... like now. (I have no idea where this pic is from, but let me know if you know... It's been on my computer for quite some time.)

In other news, I plan to have some fun with sewing, jewelry making, and photography this summer. You'll get to see most of it here. =)

always loved these YSL ads from a year or two ago...
