I came across the art of Viv Strauss via A lovely being and immediately fell in love. I like everything about her work from the price to the color to the characters and I thought you would too. Check out her shop here.

Beyoncé
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.

Spellbound
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
Idyllic
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.

M is for Monogram
While I do have a few preppy tendencies, I wouldn’t consider myself or my style “preppy”. Why then am I tempted (attempting) to monogram everything from beer glasses to bed sheets?
I’ll tell you why, because it’s adorable. Annnnd I might be a little excited about our monogram: PBR.

On Holiday
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.

Tahiti & Tulle
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.
