When all is lost and fashion seems stunned and stagnant Camilla pulls together images that capture the spirit of beauty. A woman in her eyes is sexy in her own right, free, unkept, full of life and not to be contained, just captured in perfect moments.

So far the fall shows have been less than impressive. We are crossing our fingers that London, Milan and Paris will pick up the slack. Until then its the Spring campaigns that are turning our heads we love Mert & Marcus for Miu Miu, their play on perspective is genius and Lindsay Wixon looks ravishing.
Brooklyn based Mast Brothers chocolate offers gourmet treats like Dark Chocolate with Almonds and Sea Salt or Dark Chocolate with Cocoa Nibs, as one of the only bean to bar chocolatiers they take their candy very seriously. Michael and Rick Mast started the company to be able to work with family and friends and to make things from scratch that would create happiness. Their chocolate is handmade in small batches and culled from the highest quality cacao from Madagascar, Venezuela and Ecuador. We’ll be honest it was the packaging that caught our eye but now we are intrigued.

Rei Kawakubo never gets pulled into fashion’s orbit; instead she has just enough perspective to translate her subtle observations into Come des Garcons. For the Spring 2010 Shirt Campaign she enlisted artist Stephen Shanabrook to do a piece from his “Paper Surgery” series. Shanabrook deconstructs the image using tiny folds, deforming and destroying its surface. Reminiscent of Jenny Saville’s brutally beautiful images, his alterations add dimension and a startling authenticity in a realm where those qualities are normally void. Brilliant.
We’re still hung up on the white leather Leica but the newest model, created in collaboration with Hermes, has definitely caught our eye. Calfskin leather in orange or tan, both Hermes signature colors, covers the chrome body. Packaged with a wide angle lens, classic round hood and rapid winder this camera has all the extras. The production was limited to 100 of each color and with a price tag of $14,250 perhaps that was wise.

We’ve found ourselves infatuated with gap teeth beauties with Georgia May Jagger topping our list. Following in her mother’s (Jerry Hall) footsteps Jagger’s modeling career is on a steady ascent. These are some of our favorite shots.
We fell in love with Ashley from the minute we set eyes on her. Staci’s hair is genius, love the curls. AMAZING!!!!!

I have been on the hunt for a messenger bag that doesn’t look like a briefcase. This one may be near perfect.
