the tempest

It's no secret to those who know me that I adore fashion magazines. Though I am way too stingy to buy them for myself really regularly, when I do I pore over every page: I inhale the inspiration, soak up the creativity and devour articles which use such examples of pretentious metaphors. My all-time favourite magazine editorial is the one you can feast your eyes on below; I saw it in the June 2012 issue of Elle UK. The delicate and ethereal (ALWAYS wanted to use that word) beaded garments and the shimmery makeup create such a magical feel! I now hold the people behind these stunning photos responsible for the fact that my new life ambition is to be a mermaid - nothing is impossible, right?
