Some behind-the-scene photos along with the ones that made the Aug. Free People lookbook.

A dash of Italian charm added to the photoshoot includes intricate masks, bakeries, love birds, red vino.

I get the feeling you wanna be in Venice right about now--Yeah, you're not alone.

Loboutins make a speedy delivery with a rocket car, parachute or via the arctic, in the new spring lookbook.  The balloon dogs are so cute; how could I not post these? Lately, I've been having such obscure yet brilliant dreams. A few nights ago, one dream scene consisted of  me in a tram train, cruising near a rustic, historical tower (think Tower of Pisa) with thousands of balloons continuously bursting out of it (think the movie, Up). Now, now; I don't want to get all freudian about interpretations, but it was a pretty damn cool dream.

Louis Vuitton Cruise 2011 Look Book

currently: in a cold psych. lab, & just took a final. Wherever you are, let's both put the winter season on pause for a moment, & stimulate our eyes with these summer holiday photos! Louis Vuitton ads are amongst my favorite. I can already see Kate Middleton, the British princess-to-be, wearing some of these looks, & looking oh so chic. I admit, I'm pretty curious to see how she channels high fashion in her royal lifestyle !
