I'm Melting!

In honor of the fact that it presently "feels like" 120 degrees in Minneapolis, thank you July, I am doing an homage to melting fashion! Hooray! I knew this heat wave was good for something.

These melting shades, which I literally need/want right now, were made by Dutch designer Anna Ter Haar. I have to admit I am a sucker for dramatic, comical fashion. So obviously these shades do it for me.  They're just that perfect mix of humor, intrigue, and suspense that served shaken not stirred, pack the perfect punch!

Here is a straight melting photo shoot: Michelle Buswell by Rennio Maifred in Marie Claire Italia October 2010:  Now that's hot...

I love the cloths in this shoot, but damn this girl is sweating all over them. If I saw those cloths sitting all pretty in the store, I would smell them, to make sure it wasn't the one she wore at the shoot. I know that sounds silly, but you would too. Trust me. You would. Look, photo shoots can get silly, we all know this, but this one is actually really ridiculous.  Why is this girl in the desert wearing all this random layering? She should be in Antarctica, with polar bears, doing the exact same poses, and for me it would have worked better.
