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

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.

Atlantic-Pacific
The super-stylish Blair Eadie lives in San Francisco and blogs at Atlantic-Pacific. She’s almost always wearing sunglasses and has mastered layering and accessorizing. I love to see what she puts together! She was also featured on the (brand new) glitter guide website today.

Backless
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.

Hazy Summer Day
I love this editorial and the breezy, summer feel. Backless dresses by the pool, floppy hats in the park, motobiking in vintage…that’s what I’d like my summer to look like as well.

Thrifting
I love shopping at thrift and vintage stores. There’s something so green and sustainable about reusing and making the old new again. I also enjoy the process of picking through the inventory and trying on (I realize not everyone does). Plus it’s a great way to experiment with trends without breaking the bank, since nearly everything that’s in now has been in before. One of my favorite things about shopping at a thrift shop, versus a vintage shop, is that they often don’t know the brands that have been donated. They just line-price everything, denim is denim etc. That’s where we benefit. For example, I got a vintage Oscar de la Renta blouse last night at Potter’s house thrift store for $2.92. I think one of the problems we have when shopping is we can’t visualize how an article of clothing will transform once we have it on, so we pass it by. You have to have an open mind and a little bit of time to find the diamonds in the rough, if you will. Sometimes I will try on 30 things to only find 3 that work. But when it works and it’s cheap, it’s so worth the extra time.
I also love this editorial set in a chic vintage shop. Enjoy!
