10.03.2011- Spring-spiration

How lovely has it been to see the sunshine this week? Even it it's still a bit chilly outside, having light mornings and longer evenings make such a difference, I've been practically skipping out of the house! With spring well and truly on the way, I've found the perfect slice of sun-soaked inspiration in the form of this stunning shoot from the February 2011 issue of Vogue Italia:

Pretty blissful, right? The lighting is exquisite, as, of course, are the clothes (hello Valentino!) And I just love the magical forest atmosphere.

What do you think? Are you happy to see the sun again? Have you got any plans for the spring?

10.02.2011- Spring Dreams

Spring is slowly making its presence felt (how lovely was it to see the sun the other day?), and as we wave goodbye to winter, I've found a little slice of transitional inspiration in the form of this shoot, titled Watercolour Dreams, starring Natalie Gempel and shot by Lauren Withrow:

I love how Withrow has managed to capture the atmosphere of a frosty winter morning but retained a really spring-like feel thanks to the magical woodland location and styling. This shoot also really reminds me of both Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White, but I'm not really sure why!

What do you think of this shoot? Are you looking forward to spring?
