Lets go to the beach, beach...

So I haven't posted in a while as I am currently on holiday in Houston, Texas. Im having a really amazing time and my days have been filled with good food and lots of sun. This all means that I haven't really worn anything other than a bikini, shorts and a t-shirt. Not very interesting blog material.

However this weekend we went to the beach. We visited a place called South Padre Island which is basically a massive sand bank in between Texas and Mexico. A lot of Americans visit here for Spring Break so it has got a really good atmosphere. Its also nice to to be in a slightly cooler, windier climate compared to  107 degrees F of pure humidity.

So anyway, here are a few shots of my new playsuit which I wore out to dinner. Its really lightweight and a silky material which means it kept me really cool. Its from Urban Outfitters and although it is cinched at the waist, I think it looks better with a belt. I wore really simple jewellery and some plain black gladiator sandals.

Im going to try and do a few more posts while I am here as I have a few shopping trips lined up, tonight I'm going to an outlet mall and next week I am heading to New York. But for now I am off out to enjoy the sunshine :)

Miss Dior - A/W 12/13...

Today I was really excited to see the new ad campaign for Miss Dior Handbags. The shoot was styled by Carine Roitfeld, who I have mentioned in a previous post as being one of my favourite stylists. She has channelled 1950's Hollywood Glamour perfectly. Mila Kunis who is the face of the campaign looks amazing with he hair and simple black clothes. The soft make up means you are drawn to the scene as a whole and visually to the handbags themselves.

The photographer who shot the campaign is Mario Sorrenti. Mario Sorrenti is possibly best known for shooting the famous Pirelli nude calendar which features all the top models including Lara Stone and Kate Moss.

I love how Dior is all about making women feel feminine and womanly, showcasing the figure without being revealing. The campaign is classic and stylish. I love it!

Hungry?

Finally my new issue of Hunger has arrived. Although only being around for two issues so far, it is my favourite magazine by far. Created by famous photographer Rankin, it features only his images and in turn his abilities to photograph in every style imaginable. He is so diverse in his work and rarely is there an image I dislike. 

I have chosen two articles that I really admire from this issue. The first is a showcase of some of the biggest names in fashion today. These images are absolutely gorgeous. The creations by Christian Dior and Emilio Pucci have been given life and vitality within the frames due to the movements portrayed. Although keeping the classic nature of fashion photography by shooting in black and white, they are completely modern images.

My favourite article features one of my favourite models, Heidi Klum. I don't think a lot needs to be said to appreciate the beauty of these images. Klum fits this role perfectly... a beautiful rebel.

<3 this!!
