The L'Officiel Mexico July 2014 cover shoot looks like it channels the feeling people often experience midday on Mondays. Although all chic and sophisticated for work, one can't help but contain the yawns and tired expressions after an either adventurous or uber relaxing weekend. With long weekends on the immediate horizon, it is only natural that people will be relating to this even more.
Shot by photographer Max Abadian, the L'Officiel Mexico July 2014 cover shoot stars model Carola Remer, for which the editorial is named after. Clad in sequinned t-shirt sweaters, vibrantly printed jackets and a handful of black and white ensembles, the brunette beauty is ready for a summer at the office. Ayumi Yamamoto and Beau Nelson are on beauty duty.
