Editorial Love
I have caught fifties fever and it is simply darling…
When looking for personal style inspiration, I always seem to choose imagery with four primary ingredients – bright feminine pieces; bee-stung red lips; platinum bombshell blonde hair; and darling vintage-inspired accessories. I.E. Cue my love for style icon Marilyn Monroe.
With this in mind, two editorials caught my eye this week which both evoke the elegance, sophistication and fun of retro-inspired glamour.
