Call me crazy, but the groundhog did not see his shadow today, so that to me means ALOHA, SPRING!
These delightful images by Ellen Von Unwerth for the Guess Spring 2011 Collection have me yearning for lazy bikini-clad days in the sun with floppy sun hats and fruity drinks in hand.
Flirty, girly-girl FUN!
"Ellen von Unwerth reprises her role as famed photographer of the classic 1980's & 1990's GUESS advertising campaigns with the introduction of the GUESS spring 2011 campaign. The black and white classic images are reminiscent of the 1960's and 1970's iconic beach movies that embody that time in film history.
Cropped pants and jeans, polka dot bustier tops, floral rompers and pin-up inspired swimwear dominate the collection of images and set the tone for the campaign. The men's collection ventures away from its rock & roll influences and takes on a cleaner approach which features cardigans, dark wash slim jeans and plaid shirts which compliment the women's collection.
Revealing close up and scenic shots transport the audience back to a simpler time characterized by fun in the sun. Playful photographs of a group of girls and boys capture carefree moments of eating, drinking, laughing and surfing at the beach. Alyssa Miller, the face of GUESS Seductive, alongside Elsa Hosk, Kate Upton and Silviu Tolu are the perfect cast to bring the remote surf town to life."
In my office today I've got my Vanilla Coconut candle lit,
Pink and Green umbrellas in my Diet Coke (in a Lilly cup and napkins of course),
and the Bob Marley station jamming on Pandora!

Are you in an Island state of mind too? :)
Happy Wednesday!

ReplyDeleteWe are the furthest thing from bikini weather here in Northern Illinois--snowed in under 18 inches of snow! Thanks for the welcome preview of summer. :)
ReplyDeleteThose pictures make me sad to look out my window, ha! They are certainly gorgeous. And I love that you are making your own island-esque day at home!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great ad campaign--I just love the picture looking through the binoculars! Sitting here with the snow and wind blowing outside I may have to go grab an umbrella for my drink and start the reggae, too! XOXO
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the 1960's and '70's and the style (and I love these looks!) However, some places are going back to the '80's as well (the high waisted balloon pants, no thank you!) and that is a fashion decade I could do without! :-) But this is very cute and preppy, I love it!
ReplyDeleteThose pieces are so cute! I do not usually frequent guess but some of those are very nice. I hope you and the groundhog are right and that spring is on its way!
