The Lula Magazine Take My Love, Take It Down editorial will be released as a part of the publication's Spring/Summer 2013 issue. Model Codie Young is found clad in swaths of [face paint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign), chosen here by make up artist Kristin Gallegos.

Gallegos' green and blue print flowers were intermingled with stylist Leith Clark's flowing outfits. A whimsical vibe was kept in tact as Clark included [lace floral pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow), flowing patterned dresses, full rompers and dainty yellow frocks.

Photographer Damon Heath got on the whimsical board as he placed Young before [blue waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/escape-into-the-blue) and lush green gardens. Given the season that Take My Love, Take It Down caters to, the backdrop will get readers excited about summer.
