I'm not sure if being so far from home has anything to do with it, but every month I find myself anticipating the arrival of the latest issue of Australian Vogue. This is my second Winter here in Berlin and thankfully this year the snow has yet to make an appearance in spite of the bitterly cold temperatures. Reminding me that there is indeed an end in sight, Australian Vogue's February issue serves up a healthy dose of Vitamin D with an editorial featuring Kendra Spears and Marloes Horst. Shot in Palm Springs by photographer Nicole Bentley, Spears and Horst look positively radiant and sun-kissed in looks from the Spring collections. Australian Vogue has truly upped the ante in the past few years with its covers and editorials featuring the cream of international modelling talent. Healthy looking models, on-location-shoots, sun, sand and surf, it's no wonder I'm counting down the days to my impending vacation back to Sydney's sunny shores in March.
