Under the Flowering Branches

 My jaw literally dropped when I saw the stunning Bluemarine Spring 2013 ad campaign shot by Camilla Akrans. One of my favorite things about spring is when the cherry blossoms bloom creating a fluffy pink backdrop to the city.  Just looking at this is making me want to start a countdown until these beautiful trees blossom.   

Campaign Trail: Spring has Sprung

Spring 2012 has sprung - in the fashion world that is. These are some of my favorite advertisements that will be begin appearing in magazines starting in February. My favorite? The Louis Vuitton ad campaign shot by Steven Meisel.  I adore the powder yellow and pinks and the way that the light creates a gentle glow - in a word, stunning.   Another interesting point is the return of the Amazonian models - Giselle is gracing quite a few of the campaigns below, and the return of Adriana Lima is marked in the tribal Donna Karan advertisements.
