Girl Crush

Carter Smith's shots for Vogue Nippon.

Every girl has a girl crush. Mine tends to change regularly, and after stumbling upon the recent photo shoot of Natalia Vodianova, I found another one. She has an air of nonchalance and raw beauty about her, and seems like she'd wake up looking exactly as she does in her photo shoots. But maybe that can all be attributed to Carter Smith. His photography is also something to marvel at. Shot for Vogue Nippon, the spread actually made me wish it were winter again - or at least that Sydney had seasons like New York, just so I could get my hands on a fur coat like the one pictured below.
