Happy Groundhog’s Day

How cute is this cupcake!?  I am a fervent believer in a cupcake for all occasions so why not Groundhog’s Day?  =)  Whether or not little Phil sees his shadow today, us spoiled Californians will still be enjoying our sunshiny weather.  Lucky us!

I stumbled on this feature on Hint Blog called, “Let Them Eat Models” and I was gleeful over how awesome these photographs are!  I love fashion.  My love of designer brands is similar to my love of expensive art:  I will gawk at it and admire it but won’t shell out the money to actually own any.  The closest I have come is a Louis Vuitton wallet and some Dior sunglasses, both bought at an outrageous discounts.  I love the playfulness that the photographer Therese Aldgård and prop stylist Lisa Edsälv placed in each photograph.  They took the quintessential qualities of each designer to show clearly who their inspiration was; the classic black and white with pearls of Chanel, the brown leather and monograms of Louis Vuitton, and the flash of red that Christian Louboutin has made famous on his shoes were my favorites.
