Earlier today when I stumbled across these old Spring 2008 Nordstrom ads featuring illustrations by Ruben Toledo, my mouth dropped. Simply gorgeous. The ads were shot by fashion photographer Ruven Afanador.

p.s. - If one brilliant artist in the household isn't enough, Ruben gets to go home every night to Isabel Toledo, fashion designer extraordinaire.
And sometime he paints portraits of her...and, yes, their home looks amazing, of course.
