Anna Friel for Vanity Fair (a teensy bit NSFW)

We just love the August cover of Vanity Fair, featuring actress Anna Friel. We have to admit we had to look up who she is, and for those of you who don't know, Anna was in the movie "Land of the Lost" and the TV show "Pushing Daisies".
There's a lot of buzz around this shoot, particularly because everyone on the internet is saying she's 'nude'...we consider it more like 'topless', but anyhow...
We wanted to share the few lingerie shots from the feature, along with the gorgeous cover and just a pretty picture of Anna wearing a pink gown.

Vanities by Michael Elins

We just can't help but post more adorable pinup pictures! It's an addiction! We love it!
We especially love the work of photographer Michael Elins, who is probably best known for his 'vanities' portraits in Vanity Fair. It looks like these fresh-faced models/actresses stepped out of a Vargas painting. The look of these pinup portraits is really a reflection of the styles we are seeing in lingerie/swimwear right now; retro styles, high-waist briefs, garter belts...just like the Christian Dior runway show we posted yesterday.
You can see the rest of his portfolio here.

Isn't this the cutest photo shoot from Vanity Fair Italy?! These pictures feature Canadian model Kastyn Reid in a series of fun lingerie shots. These pictures make a day in lingerie seem very do-able! We like the idea of cooking pasta in a cute red bra & panty set. Don't you?

P.S. - If you click on the images, and have good eyesight, you can read the lingerie designer credits.
