It's easy to lose yourself in a sea of pretty pictures on Tumblr and Pinterest these days. Still, there's something special about being able to hold an actual book of pictures between your fingers. (If you lean in closely enough, you can almost feel yourself stepping into its pages.)
For old time's sake, here's a look back at some of the greatest print ad photos we've all wanted to step into over the past 14 years.
Prada - Late 90s
It's 1999 and you're in bed in ratty pajamas, flipping through a copy of
Vogue. You turn the page and find yourself staring at a brown skirt and tweed shoes, and a woven bag dangling just behind the model's ankles. If only you could have that bag, everything in your life would be okay. If nothing else, the bag would at least give you some semblance of being put together--in a
Mrs. Dalloway sort of way. This photo is just a
Muppet Babies' view of what your life would look like in Prada.
