Woman of Style: Nina Garcia

September 11, 2019 No Comments

I have never seen a bad photo of Nina Garcia, who, if you don’t already know, is the Editor-in-Chief of ELLE and a Project Runway judge. This Columbian fashion journalist has an enviable style, and she shares her style tips in each of her four books. And in honor of New York Fashion Week, I decided to make her this month’s “Woman of Style.” Nina began her career in the fashion industry in the early 1980s. She worked in the public relations department for Perry Ellis and its then-designer, Marc Jacobs. After leaving Marc Jacobs, she moved to Mirabella. From […]

When I Grow Up…

October 2, 2015 1 Comment

You can ask my mother about this, but when I was younger, I would always say that I wanted to be the next Barbara Walters. I would pretend I was a television newswoman, staring at my reflection in the microwave oven door, reading the news stories I had written. Then when I was about 16 years old, I began writing. I may have strayed from my original path as a writer from time to time, mainly because school and life got in the way. A couple of years ago, my passion for writing was reignited and I began a blog… […]

Fashion Icon: Gisele Bundchen

February 12, 2015 No Comments

Supermodel. Super Mom. Footballer’s Wife. Victoria’s Secret Model. Actress. Goodwill Ambassador. And she retired at the top of her game. In one word… Gisele. This Brazilian model pioneered the “horse walk”, and has been labeled by other “supermodels” to be the “only remaining true supermodel.” She has acted in only two films that I know of – Taxi, starring Queen Latifa and Jimmy Fallon, and The Devil Wears Prada, starring Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep. She has been listed as the highest paid model since 2004. In 1998, Gisele was called “the Body” by the great late fashion designer Alexander […]

The European Beauty of Mila Kunis

July 13, 2014 No Comments

I’ll admit it… I have a girl crush on Mila Kunis. I think she secured her place on my list when she played the sexy, yet vulnerable, Jamie, the headhunter on Friends with Benefits. Milena “Mila” Markovna Kunis is what I consider a European beauty, not only because she was born in Chernivtsi, Ukraine, but because of her exotic looks. Standing only 5’4″, this pint-sized powerhouse is one seriously sexy woman! Photo Source: GQ And for those who have been living under a rock, she dated Macaulay Culkin for seven years. Now is she is engaged to fellow actor Ashton […]

I’m Love the Pairing of Aniston and Sudeikis

May 22, 2014 No Comments

Being polite and grateful will make people more inclined to help you. And if people are willing to help you, you may accidentally get something you want. – Jason Sudeikis (IMDb) I have literally watched We’re The Millers about a dozen times, and I would probably watch it again when it comes back on HBO. There is a great chemistry between Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston that shines brightly in their movies. Photo Credit: Marie Claire They have starred in three movies, with a fourth in the making: The Bounty Hunter, Horrible Bosses, We’re The Millers, and the upcoming Horrible […]
