Gisele Bundchen in Vogue Russia 1998

Ever since I went to school I always thought of 1 September as a start of the new year. I still remember the excitement and butterflies in the stomach, a bunch of Aster flowers that my grandma would bring a night before, a freshly ironed school uniform - chocolate brown scratchy wool dress and white apron, and huge cloud-like bows in my hair. It always felt special, although it never took too long for the reality to kick in, with all the tests, home work and inevitable marks.

It was September 1998 when the first issue of Vogue Russia was launched. One of the editorials called “My Favourite Big Sister” featured 18 years old Gisele Bundchen photographed by Perry Gordon.

Fashion models in their bathrooms

So did I get the title right to grab your attention? Today’s post was inspired by our on-going bathroom renovation project and my love for beautiful fashion editorials. I combined the two and came up with a small collection of images where bathrooms became a background for some of the most gorgeous fashion models.

Gisele in Elle

Today is about the miracle of one and only Gisele Bundchen posing as a Flower princess before the lens of Stephane Sednaoui (yes, he is Elisa's father) for the February issue of Elle France.

Weekend sign off

Weekend, weekend, so glad it’s here! Have you got any plans for weekend? A part of mine is writing a few fashion stories for next week as it’s time to tell you about yet another amazing fashion designer. Mr also suggested getting out for a walk, just us, no pupster, so we’ll see where we’ll find ourselves. All I know is that Jeffrey Campbell booties will be coming out yet again because they are simply the most comfortable in the world and perfect for walking.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Always yours,
