Platinum blonde Maggie Laine Vitelli is 'Little Miss Sunshine' for Teen Vogue's June 2014 issue.
Fashion editor Havana Laffitte styled Vitelli in a series of hipster duds. From trucker hats and plaid button-ups to boyfriend jeans and knit caps adorned with pom-poms, Vitelli is the epitome of casual. Still, despite being dressed down, Vitelli manages to be a ray of sunshine. More importantly, she doesn't even seem to be trying. Rather than smiling at the camera, Vitelli looks aloof and disinterested as she poses for photographer Ben Weller.
There's something intoxicating about summer nights, when the air cools and the sun sets. If anything, this shoot will make you want to enjoy the aforementioned sunset around a beachside bonfire, all of your closest friends in tow.
