Ashley Smith is a brooding blonde babe for Country Girl in Black Magazine #14. Photographer Derek Kettela captures Smith in a lush outdoor setting wearing casual spring separates from Stella McCartney, Dior, Phillip Lim and Vivienne Westwood. Fashion editor Michelle Cameron styled the editorial, which also featured the hair styling of Shin Arima and makeup artistry of Valery Gherman.
The fashion featured in Country Girl in Black Magazine #14 is laid-back, chic and effortless -- styles we could actually envision a fashionista wearing on an everyday basis. My favorite shot from the editorial is the second one in the gallery above, in which Ashley Smith is wearing a white ribbed shirt, a white skirt and a black belt adorned with a longhorn buckle.
