Spring Summer 2013 Handbag Wishlist

The Spring/Summer season is just around the corner, the collections are filling the stores so it is only fitting that I have a wish-list for S/S and I have put together my choices for the most need-worthy handbags for this upcoming season. Bright jewel colours are trending along with neautral tones and natural textures such as raffia, wood (yes wood, just check out the clutch from Givenchy), prints and not specific prints as such more, any print counts. Of course this is a wish-list for a reason because I'm pretty sure the total cost of all these bags combined would probably equal the price of an apartment in the centre of Paris, but a girl can stare at these pretty pictures and dream... Enjoy!

Hermès Spring Summer 2013 Ad Campaign

It's time for the Spring Summer 2013 ad campaigns to be grazing the pages of our favourite high fashion magazines and more than often each season there are some memorable and stunning ad campaigns, and then there are more than a few campaigns we would rather forget. This season I must say the majority of ad campaigns I have strongly disliked, I won't name which ones but there have been a few I've absolutely loved one of them being Hermès S/S 2013 Ad Campaign. In my opinion Hermès never fail with their campaigns, the pictures are whimsical, colourful, the clothes shown are always playful and full of movement. For S/S 2013 there is no change to all the above, and with the location for the photos being the stunning Lake Como in Italy it was pretty much a recipe for success from the beginning. Photographed by Nathaniel Goldberg and modelled by Iselin Steiro, enjoy and get ready to get lost in the pictures...
