I have a deep affinity/admiration for Natalia Vodianova. Like to the point where I was so sad for her when I heard she was divorcing her aristocrat husband with whom she has three kids. Aside from her personal life, I always enjoy seeing her editorials. She’s undeniably lovely in this 60s-chic photo shoot.

My favorite model-mom Natalia Vodianova admitted her split from husband Justin Portman. It made me so sad because I have always thought they were particularly adorable. The story here.  Cute pictures of happier times below…

I’m hoping there are a few more sunny, warm occasions left for day-dresses and sun-kissed skin…

I think Natalia and I would be besties if we knew each other. Alas…we have yet to meet.
