//43/ Cape Town: Murky Water

//Enough of the re-posting! I love (okay maybe more like than love) these two photographs for their ominousness (yes that is an actual word) and the contrast between the stillness in the first one and the movement in the second. Other than that they represent summer to me like none other: spontaneously plunging your body into icy cold water to relieve it from the sticky heat and spending more time under water than above...bliss!

//41/ Dress: Candice does Copenhagen

Publication: VMan FW 2010
Photography: Mario Testino
Model: Candice Swanepoel

//I was excited to find an editorial with South African model Candice Swanepoel shot by the Mario Testino. Okay, I admit I was hoping it would be something edgy with amazing clothing, but I guess half naked in a mens' magazine will have to do. She is gorgeous, don't you agree?

//40/ Film: Morocco

Film: Marocco (1930)
Director: Josef Sternberg
Starring: Gary Cooper, Marlene Dietrich and Adolphe Menjou

//Marlene Dietrich is easily one in my top ten favourite actresses. She moves with such elegance and grace, but with a confidence that is very alluring. She has a very seductive kind of beauty...and is most probably the main attraction of the movie. The wardrobe of course is also stunning... 

//For this movie she learnt her lines phonetically as she could hardly speak English...one would never guess! My favourite scene is one of the last where she marches off into the desert with her heels. What a lady.

//39/ Dress: Grazia

Publication: Grazia September 2010
Photography: Adrian Mesko
Stylist: Anouk Colantoni
Model: Rachel Rutt

//Ahh I have never heard of Rachel Rutt, but she is lovely. She resembles Leighton Meester quite a bit (except of course Rachel is prettier). I don't like all of this clothing (second image...), but the coat !!: it is perfect. The length, the colour, the collar, the awesome belt!!...I would give a lot...The hat in the top image is also great...not quite a bowler (which I don't particularly care for) nor a floppy hat, and an untraditional colour (no white with black band): I like it! (it looks a lot like this, this and this...cool huh?)
