DEAR PHOTOGRAPH

Dear Photograph is a photo blog that encourages people to “take a picture of a picture from the past in the present”. Some of them are happy, some are sad.. But they’ve all got great captions to go with them.

It’s slightly melancholy looking at them. Knowing that they were happy moments, but you can never get those moments back.

PENELOPE CRUZ IN VOGUE US JUNE 2011

Penélope Cruz graced the June issue of Vogue US. And when I say graced, I mean GRACED. She looked absolutely radiant in all-white ensembles, photographed by Mario Testino.

I’ve only seen a few of Cruz’s movies, but I’ve always been a huge fan of her red carpet style. She is by far one of the best dressed actresses, in my opinion.

I don’t usually like celebrity covers, especially in magazines like Vogue US, because they’re not as artistic or as fashion forward as I’d like them to be. But when I saw this issue on the stands, I flipped through it and fell in love with Penelope’s photos. I bought it right away, and enjoyed reading about her somewhat private life.

WONDERFUL WEEKEND

Sorry I haven’t been doing the usual weekend links roundup for the past couple of weeks because I was quite busy – what with being on holiday and all.. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: being on vacation is super tiring! It’s not like I’ve been hiking mountains or rafting along rivers, but the simple task of leaving the house every single day to do something “new” makes me very tired! Am I a lazy person or what!

I did find time to scour the web for inspiration. Hope you enjoy them. I know I did…

An awesome pop-up café!

The most beautiful modern church I’ve ever seen!

Geometric illustrations of superheroes (and villains).

More superheroes – this time split in half!

Underwater wedding portrait!

I should always remember this..

Wouldn’t you want to look (and dress) like this on holiday?

Typographic logos for cities.

A super glam fashion editorial..

Meet the designers behind Shanta – a trendy handbag line.

Have a grill-filled weekend!

NIGHT FEVER

Flowy dresses, colorful silks and jumpsuits make up this super glam editorial for How to Spend It Magazine. I love the dewy makeup, eye-catching designs and big curly hair. It looks like the models just spent the whole night dancing in an outdoor party in Brazil!

The shoot was photographed by Andrew Yee, modeled by Barbara de Creddo and Tsanna and styled by Damian Foxe. Stunning!

DIY: FRIENDSHIP NECKLACE

I hope I didn’t throw away the Friendship Bracelet book I had since middle school - I think I saw it in my room somewhere the other day. In any case, this guide to making Friendship Necklaces is very easy and the end result is sooo stylish!

BELLA DONNA

I recently pinned an image of Natalia Vodianova on Pinterest, and found out it was from an “old” Vogue editorial. I liked it so much that I was curious to see what the other images in that editorial looked like. Needless to say, I was not disappointed.

“Bella Donna” photographed by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott for Vogue US March 2004 is loaded with gorgeous photographs of the beautiful Natalia Vodianova. It looks very retro Italian! Such a picture perfect holiday.

HAPPINESS

Very cute canvas print by VOL25. They come in 6 different colors: Red, Brown, Green, Orange, Blue and Coral.

Wish we could all take that advice to heart..

KEIRA KNIGHTLEY IN FLAUNT MAGAZINE

I hadn’t heard of Flaunt magazine before seeing this feature, but I’m sure they’re amazing if they’re producing fashion editorials like this. I loved the editing on these images. The color palette is so beautiful! It’s got a sort of dark mood, but with some bright pops in the form of outfits. Keira’s face must be a dream to work with – so photogenic!
