Sunshine Girl

so glam

miranda kerr is easily one of my favorite models (and now mommas), she just looks so utterly glam and gorgeous in this shoot for harper's bazaar australia. i love her jewels, printed pieces and easy curls. such a beautiful shoot.

country girl

love this down-to-earth shoot of lara stone in her hometown, the netherlands. she looks so unfussy and natural, you can't help but love her toothy grin and windswept hair. shot by angelo pennetta for the latest fall issue of t: style, i'm loving the casual country vibe and autumnal fashion. it helps make the end of summer slightly more bearable.

girl and boy crushes

no shame. i have both, mainly celebs and models. we all know milaaaa is at the top of my girl crush list, and jt has always (from his n'sync days, the good old 90's) held some type of spot on the boy list. it goes without saying that this latest elle spread has me dying. over its fashion, and theme, but mostly, over its subjects. hot damn.

black + white elegance

miranda kerr, one of my favorite models, just announced yesterday that she and her hubby, orlando bloom, are indeed expecting! i'm sure their baby will be beautiful. baby news aside, this june elle shoot of miranda portrays her in a way that's much different from her traditional victoria's secret angels look. black + white, edgy yet elegant, i'm loving her clothes (and that hair!) happy friday everyone!

let's go camping!

if i could look as chic as tori praver in this elle italia shoot while camping, i'd also be a supermodel. despite my non-supermodel status, the shoot is still eye candy, and as i've been wanting to plan a camping trip this summer, it's definitely giving me some inspiration (although i won't be wearing dsquared or alex wang on my camping trip, ha). who wants to come with me? s'mores, campfires, tents and looking up at the stars, sounds like a great way to spend the weekend to me.

 

 

 

patterns and prints, and a supermodel

gisele is so pretty. this shoot of her, in prints and patterns and sunshine, is pretty too. wanted to share on a sunny day like today. wish i had gotten out a bit more to enjoy it, but i'll save that for my mini-road trip this weekend with the boy. enjoy the rest of your day!

vegas girl

marisa miller is the epitome of a california surfer girl, minus the fact that she also happens to be an extremely successful vs/si model. therefore, she is my idol, as we all know i'd love to just pick up, move to cali, and live out my surfer girl dreams (the fact that i've never surfed before is irrelevant in this fantasy, obviously). but clearly, in this shoot, she can be both sultry and surfer girl at the same time. her shoot for vegas magazine's march issue is hot hot hot and my motivation to get fit for summer continues..

work it out

with summer looming (a mere 2 months away, YESSS!), it's really time to kick my butt into shape. i've been eating decently and working out sparingly, but i think it's time to get into high-gear aka gym gym gym almost every day and less eating, or more healthy eating. also finally time to start my pilates dvd's and start running/walking outside as it gets warmer. these alessandra ambrosio pictures by david burton are great motivation!

this one below, not so much...

pretty penelope

is this not the most gorgeous portrait of penelope cruz you've ever seen? she is really so beautiful. i loved her character in vicky cristina barcelona, and overall, she's a great actress in addition to being naturally beautiful. check out that amazing bleach blonde bob. i wish i had the guts to pull off something like that. anyway, i found this picture on now craving, an amazing blog i just discovered that you should all check out. hope you all have lovely weekends!

wild about wilde

ok: serious girl crush alert. get ready. i have to admit, i love olivia wilde. first of all, she chose her last name after oscar wilde, a great author. second of all, she is hot. third, she is a real life princess, married to a prince. fourth, she is always twittering about giving back to the world. and fifth, i'll reiterate that she is hot. i can appreciate beauty, that's for sure, so i tend to have a lot of girl crushes but this recent shoot of olivia by guy aroch is really amazing. a few pictures below, click here for the full shoot.

these pictures are the perfect mix of sultry and sweet, and who doesn't love a pretty girl with a coca-cola in hand?
