L’Afrique c’est Chic

Here is an absolute gem from the December 2011 issue of Vogue Australia starring the blonde, full lipped long legged American that is Katie Fogarty. I discovered these fantastic images a while ago and have the majority of them saved on my scheduled list for some time; ready and waiting for a rainy day. Although today is in fact rather bright, albeit windy, I feel a splash of colour and print is never a bad thing - especially in January. Plus, WONDER FULL could do with it after a couple of month's hiatus.

Impeccably styled by fashion editor Naomi Smith and shot by Max Doyle on location in the sandy African desert, the collection of photographs are beautifully finished, excessive and fun with an abundance of clashing print, bright colour, stripy heels and a few rather fetching headscarves. Perfect summer dressing right there, no? It's hard to pick a favourite but I think it would be the image above if I was pressed. Not only are Fogarty's legs pretty phenomenal but her stance is strong. The Maison Martin Margiela yellow fringed mini dress by and beaded platform sandals by Burberry Prosrum is exactly the kind of ensemble I would wear on holiday in the evenings. I also love the image where Fogarty sits in a chair and those side profiles accentuate her beautifully vivid eyes without even a trace of mascara. She is absolutely stunning. And my my God she can work a stripe and plum lip.

What do you make of the editorial? Are we a fan of Fogarty? Have any of you been to Africa?

The Obsessions: Intentional Absurdity

I absolutely love this editorial. It's ridiculously fun. It's so 90s (oversized earrings, tight Levi's jeans). And it's VERY sexy. Rubik has one fantastic pair of legs and boobs for that matter. I particularly love the meticulous placing of certain objects. You'll see what I mean. Scroll down. You'll be drooling by the second picture. Guaranteed.

Smoulder and Mystify

The hair is delicately swept across a flawless, made-up face. There are wide, open spaces, hazy views wandered by a tousled beauty. It is a cigarette, a sultry glance, blurred background or a suggestive hair pull-cum-closed eyes and side ward pose. Or even a bouncy curl. Any of the above immediately conjure an image that is sensuous, provocative, uber sexy, an element that every one of the following photographs have at least one of, if not every single one.
