How do I do an in-text citation for a magazine ad?

Let’s say I refer in the paper to an ad for Marc Jacobs clothing on page 3 of the July 2010 issue of Vogue Magazine, I’m also attaching a copy of the ad as an appendix.

How would I write the in text citation?

If you can’t find the answer on a web site like Purdue-OWL, I would call a college library and ask for help…I believe academic librarians are pretty knowledgeable in citations and I doubt if they’d tell you to shove off if you’re not a student there. Good luck.
