Winter Wonderland

December 11, 2013November 11, 20141 Comment

I’m sort of holiday obsessed right now (who isn’t?). More specifically, I’m holiday dress obsessed. Last year I had this really wonderful vintage emerald green velvet dress with a scalloped neckline for the holidays, and while it’s still a favorite, I want something new (to me). Deep greens are always a favorite of mine for the holiday season, but when I look at White Pepper’s Winter Wonderland editorial, I’m kind of like, well, maybe not all holiday themed things need to be gold, red and green. Maybe we’ve entered an era of wintery pastels and gingham, and gothy vibes (my 16yr old self would say, very yes please!). I’m pretty into it. But, I’m not sure I’m totally sold. Maybe I’ve just become a traditional gal when it comes to these things. Although, the gold dresses in this editorial are really catching my eye (still pretty traditional for the holidays, but not something I ever find myself leaning towards) Maybe i’ll be a golden gal this year?! Or, if I could just look like this…I’d be pretty okay with that.

Russian Doll

This editorial in Vogue Japan’s December 2013 Issue killed my heart! Lindsey Wixson looks like the most glamorous russian doll I have ever laid eyes on. I mean, she already looks like a doll (those eyes and lips! not fair), but the clothes and styling are so reminiscent of Russian doll vibes, with a little sprinkle of Victorian perfection, it makes my heart skip a beat. We could all agree the headpieces could very well be the stars of the show. If I didn’t feel so insane walking down the street on a regular day wearing a headpiece, say, doing errands, I would do it, everyday (sometimes I wish I could just go back to my 10yr old self who would wear anything and everything without giving it a second thought). The most obvious reason for my love of this shoot is the print & pattern mixing. This editorial is the epitome of that, the very definition of why everyone should just walk around with at least two prints on their body at all times.

In closing, I have only this to say, bow ties, florals, headpieces, exquisite prints & doll woman…I love you all.

Girl About Town

While browsing the Dear Creatures website, I was pleased to see they have released their Autumn/Winter 2013 campaign: Girl About Town. As usual, and surprising no one (certainly not me), it’s ever so lovely. The hair (omg, kind of makes me want to take a pair of scissors to my head), giant eye lashes, bright red lips and vintage inspired garb, sets the mood for a sultry 1960’s ice cream eating bookworm babe running around New York City. This gal here is more than meets the eye – she’s always happy to be on the move alone, kind of quiet, to the point where she may seem disinterested, but get to know her and she’s an impeccably charming gal with a weird sense of humor. She’s perpetually surprising. She can change a car tire and snorts when she laughs.

Ballad of Magazine

This 1960’s Brigitte Bardot-inspired editorial shot by Micaela Hoo, for the latest edition of Ballad Of Magazine – “Summer of ’63” Issue is for lack of better words (and tired brain), adorable and dreamy. Model Tate Moore looks like a little china doll in her own right, and styling/hair & makeup by Erin and Mich adds to this whole “dollhouse” vibe I am feeling. It’s like Barbie came to life and is hanging out in The Oakland Hills at the historic Claremont Resort and Hotel. All the ladies who were involved in this shoot work pretty magically together, and I’d love to see more by them!
