Saw these photos by Nick Knight of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian for L'Officiel Homme.
The lighting on Kanye is amazing.
The photos with Kim are strictly black and white but are just as beautiful.

Marina Diamandis (Marina and the Diamonds) rocks pink so well. I want to own everything she wears.

Pastels
Seriously can't stop thinking of spring. Around this time last year I was already wearing shorts and had put my winter coat in the back of my closet. Even though its pretty much freezing outside, I don't think its ever too cold to wear pastels and florals. Here's some images from my tumblr that inspire me all year.

I realize its probably a wig, but this girl seriously has my dream hair, if only I had the guts to actually do it.

I'm assuming this still is from a movie, if anyone has seen it please let me know.

Another girl with amazing dream hair. I'm a natural blonde who dyes her hair red and sometimes think of having blonde hair again.

Aaron Smith has an absolutely amazing style and paints with thick and bold strokes of oil paint in hallucinatory colors. I'm not much of a painter, but his work is so inspiring. I would love to own a print of his work one day.
His artist statement:
The Victorian/Edwardian eras have always captured my attention. For years I’ve collected vintage photographs of men of the period. These men for me represent a masculine ideal, if largely a constructed one. Their bearded faces and distinguished attire are spectacular, while their stiff poses and serious expressions belie a certain vulnerability. My recent decision to translate these small colorless photographs into monumental, expressionist portraits is an attempt to ruminate on these contradictions. I also want to draw parallels between the rituals of initiation found in western culture and those practiced in tribal cultures by painting these gentlemen with colors inspired by Bird-of-Paradise and the extravagantly decorated Huli Wigmen of Papua New Guinea.
