The Wedding Party.

Although I don't buy as many magazines as I once did, I'm still deeply inspired by editorials. The narrative, setting, props (or lack thereof) and of course, wardrobe, hair and makeup culminating in a very specific visual is something that remains a delight to see. Many a daydream of mine has stemmed from gazing at glossies.

I had forgotten about this June 2009 Vogue shoot, but it popped up on my Pinterest and I wanted to share it with all of you. This party looks like quite the perfect nuptials, especially that hot pink dress.

Some might say I am a bit of a magazine junkie, and I wouldn't disagree. But, in light of one of my New Year's Resolutions, I recently got rid of 3+ boxes of magazines that I had stockpiled in my year of school. I ripped out all the editorials and images I wanted to keep for my inspiration binders, and a spread in Paper magazine particularly caught my eye. I was enamored with the way that couture pieces were made to be just a part of the narrative, not the center peice. I had all but forgotten about it until a photo from the spread popped up on my Tumblr dashboard. I've chosen some of my favorite images from the shoot, but you should click through and view the whole spread. I have major love for Autumn De Wilde's photography, and Shirley Kurata is quickly becoming one of my style (and styling) icons.
