Hilary Rhoda For Foam!!!

This last editorial from Foam Magazine made me realize something....I want to work there!  I'd be happy even getting coffee, but I just want to work there.  Being around all the talent that makes this magazine come to life would be a dream come true.  All the people that collaborated on this swimsuit issue deserve a round of applause!  So anyway, now that I've divulged what my life goal is, lets go on to the good stuff....Hilary Rhoda!  

The styling is so laid-back, and I love the fact that she's holding an In-N-Out soda!

I want to know the designer of that swimsuit!  

It seems as if the hair placement was planned...that's all the magic of the hairstylist!

Thomas Whiteside...you are a genius!

THE COVER!!!

I cannot even begin to describe my appreciation for this cover.  I've been looking at a lot of covers recently and this one is one of the few that stand out to me the most.  It looks relaxed and not overly retouched.  Its natural and lifelike, unlike some magazines in which the models are so retouched that they look like plastic dolls.  Great job Foam on making Hilary look like a human, and convincing me to love the magazine so much!

Magazine Love: Foam

Yeah, I'm going a little over the the top with all the posts about Foam Magazine, but I feel like I completely identify with the editorials in this April/May issue.  I love it all, and I cannot help myself, sorry if you are getting bored of all the Foam posts!

This is a swimsuit editorial called "Rainbow Bright", which includes the vibrant shots of color that are all the rage this spring season.  See for yourself.....

I like their new take on swimwear, with the combination of winter and summer pieces.  Its different, and it works well!

This one is inspiring me to do a DIY project and cut slits up my boring, black, one- piece swimsuit!

They made this editorial very realistic.  The hairstylist even took the time to frizz up her hair, just as if she was at the beach.

Strangely, the thing I noticed the most about this shot was how well the color of the bikini suits her skin.

Soft and Delicate Details

Foam Magazine is on a roll for its April/ May 2011 issue.  My previous post was about an editorial for this magazine, and I'm doing it again....I can't get enough of the magazine.  I'm subscribing to the magazine as soon as possible!  I need a physical copy in my hands as soon as possible!

The softness and delicacy of the shots in this editorial appeal to me more than ever...its this kind of editorial that gets me inspired!

The model in this editorial is Zippora Seven and the photographer is Trevor King.....

Surprisingly, what I notice the most in this editorial is the placement of the model.  She is exactly in the middle of the fences behind her, that gently slope upward.  Its those little details that make photographs perfect.

This is so exquisite!  The combination of the rocks, the surf and the tiny model in the middle of it all...its breathtaking........

A tie-dye KISS shirt...somehow that works in this shot!

The photography, its so beautiful I can't find the right words to describe it!

What Zippora is wearing in the photo to the right enhances her natural beauty more than ever!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Foam Magazine!  I can't wait to receive my first copy in a couple of weeks!  I can tell that they only publish the best of the best for the magazine.

Denim and Swimming

I am a complete sucker for denim!  I think I own like 50 pieces in my closet that are denim...from jeans to rompers.  When I saw this editorial, I ADORED IT!  Pairing bikinis and swimwear with denim is so cute!  Its an editorial that's inspired me to do that when I go to the beach!!!
The model in this editorial is Jessica Hart for Foam April /May 2011, and shot by Hilary Walsh.

The lighting here is superb, Hilary did a great job with that.  I have a denim shirt just like that!!!

Is that one of those onesies mechanics use?  So chic!!!

Now I know a lot of people are really mean and probably criticize Jessica Hart for her tooth gap, but I think its adorable!  It makes her unique!

Photgrapher and model:  PERFECTION!!!

Now THIS is a look I definitely want to try at the beach!
