A perfectly placed sun reflection, great juxtaposition of stark desert with overt glamour and sparkle (and theres those bleached eyebrows that kept popping up in twenty10)

PHOTO OF THE DAY : HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Wishing everyone a safe, happy and fun holiday season! Merry Christmas X

THE CHRISTMAS TREE PROCESS

My gigantor Christmas tree was an EBay find a couple of years ago; I remember dragging the monster home from the post office in mid July and having to wait in anticipation for months before being able to put it up! Now I don't quite look forward to the task as much, seeings as it takes at least a day, 800 lights, countless decorations and plenty of blood, sweat and tears (literally). But in the end its always a pretty sparkly thing that I can stare at endlessly :) Hope you all are having a Merry Christmas so far!

Another pic from the Paolla Rahmeier shoot I blogged about a couple of days ago. Photographed by Jacques Dequeker ...great angle, great styling, amazing light technique

PHOTO OF THE DAY : ISABEL MARANT

A gorgeous summery shot from the Spring 2011 campaign for Isable Marant; a young designer from Paris. The rest of the pics in the collection have the same great soft-yellow light and relaxed styling. I really liked this whole story and recommend checking it out via Fashionising

PHOTO OF THE DAY : DANCER IN THE DREAM

Came across this wonderful Peter Lindbergh forVogue shoot with Natalia V; 'Dancer in The Dream' (even the title is beautiful!) and loved the light techniques and colours. The whole editorial is worth a look here...so dreamy but clear and fresh! happy Monday

PHOTO OF THE DAY : SANDRA BACKLUND

Sort of half Photo of the Day, half garment of the day; amazing construction!

From the S/S 2010 Sandra Backlund campaign, photographed by Peter Gehrke.

Also loving the use of light on her face and the line of her neck, heavy on the elegant, easy on the giraffe.
