My model-muse, Lara Stone, channels Brigitte Bardot and heads to the beach. What’s not to love – aside from the extreme jealousy of her gorgeous figure?

Beyoncé covers W this month. While I don’t always love what she wears. I almost always love what she does. She has the ability to influence pop culture in a way that very few people/women do. Down at the bottom, she shared the seven looks that shaped her career.

My love affair with Italy continues with this editorial featuring the ever-stunning Natalia Vodianova in Venice.

I love the 1940s glamour of this editorial. I’m a big fan of Alexander Skarsgård and an even bigger fan of Lara Stone. It’s almost hard to see Frida when she’s in the same frame.

Spellbound - Photographer Peter Lindbergh and fashion editor Grace Coddington for Vogue US’ July issue. “Featuring a love triangle with Lara Stone, Frida Gustavsson and actor Alexander Skarsgård–leading lady Lara plays femme fatale to Skarsgård’s quiet, cosmopolitan reserve. While Frida Gustavsson uses her girlish charm as the other woman. Grace Coddington’s glamorous picks from labels such as Marc Jacobs, Balenciaga and Miu Miu conjure dangerous characters in a world of 1940s film noir elegance.” via TFS

I love it when editorials tell a fun story with the setting as well as the fashion. This one looks like a couple played dress-up all weekend and took pictures in and around their home. Sounds like a fun weekend to me!

I’m also loving the model’s name: Millicent.

Kim Noorda (a personal favorite model)  in all white ensembles. Lovely.

I love this editorial. It looks like a honeymoon, which sounds lovely right about now. The soft palette and gorgeous swimwear has me ready to jet to Acapulco (where this was shot) right now.

A gorgeous setting for white dresses, bronzed skin, the sun, the sand and of course tulle. I’ve become particularly fond of the floral wreath and it looks stunning with her dark hair.

I love these gorgeous shots from the Ruche lookbook, it looks like it was shot in the swamps of Louisiana amidst the bayous, Spanish moss and live oaks. It’s very romantic and fresh with a tinge of the Notebook.
