With the Duchess of Cambridge pregnant and all, the world has baby on the brain; the Elle Mexico May 2013 editorial is the first of many to revolve around this theme. But instead of mommy pants and tired looks, it features chic housewife outfits that appear inspired by the '60s. Complete with charming prams, models Anzhela Turenko and Ashtyn Franklin stroll around on a sunny day without a care in the world.
Titled 'Duermete, Nino, Duermete Ya,' the Elle Mexico May 2013 editorial also celebrates the upcoming Mother's Day holiday. The stepford wife-inspired portraits, which were shot by photographer Yossi Michaeli, show the more elegant side of motherhood. The ensembles were styled by Martin Waitt.
