It's true that this is a campaign from last year, but for some reason, it's only within the last couple of weeks that the mermaid-seashell-water theme started popping up everywhere for me. The Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, or just synchronicity...? In any case, mermaids and undersea motifs through the lens of Victorian romanticism are so beautifully whimsical that I'd much prefer to trick myself into a "whimsical" mindset for summer in NYC rather than let myself acknowledge tortures like heat, humidity, and sticky tar.
