The Lake House ~ Elle Ukraine November 2012

Sometimes life needs a little more romance.

Sometimes it needs to be lived in

 delicious shades of plums and aubergines

and regal purple hues.

Sometimes life needs it all. 

Anastasia Shershen, Elle Ukraine

In the November issue of Elle Ukraine

photographer Nikolay Biryukov

whisks us away to beautiful Lake Cuomo

for a pre Raphaelite inspired story 

of longing and romance.

Anastasia Shershen, Elle Ukraine

Model Anastasia Shershen is perfectly cast

with her flowing golden locks

and her lithe willowy frame,

wearing designs from Roberto Cavalli, Gucci,

Christian Dior, Prada, Bottega Veneta, 

and Alberta Ferretti.

Her sheer, ethereal makeup is perfectly offset by

lips in a bite-worthy shade of plum.
