julia pogodina - fashion photographer

really enjoyed looking through the website of photographer julia pogodina. loved all the images i saw...especially the motion shots. i also thought each and every image had great interest and depth to it. made for a fun browsing session during some down time today. check out her work at http://www.nymfea.com/.

best.red.carpet.look.

hands down.

this look, from the 2008 oscars i believe, is still so memorable for me. cruz looks absolutely divine! the gown is pure glamour...draping, feathers, a slight train...it has it all. also loved the pulled back, voluminous hair, and those beautiful drop down earrings. there have been many noteworthy oscar fashion moments since this one, but this particular look will always be remembered.

wrap yourself

can't help but love the look of capes this winter season...it seems so original to wrap yourself in this roomy and relaxed cover-up amongst all the structured and fitted jackets we've been used to seeing.

(i still love me a good bold-shouldered, sharp blazer, though.)

wants

i don't think the h&m jimmy choo line has hit stores near me yet...but i would so like these 3 pieces as soon as it does. they scream fierce.

**update: looks like these lbds will forever remain on my wishlist. according to assata r. of shopassatasays.com, the h&m jimmy choo line released nov. 14 in the d.c. area and was sold out within a week. so sad to have missed the chance to buy these three pieces. if you're interested in other pieces from the line, check out shopassatasays.com. she's got a few goodies still available on her site. thanks again for the tip!
