BEAUTIFUL...

lets forget the drugs, the loss of modeling contracts, the press, and enjoy kate moss for who she really is, a true beauty. this breathtaking video was brought to my attention yesterday and i could not wait to share it with all of you. i have been a huge kate moss fan since i was about 15 and this short clip by VOGUE, does a great job of explaining why. she is not only beautiful, she is elegant and an all around statement. she is unlike any other model. her fashion is top notch, i mean truly one of the best. she knows just how to pair the perfect pieces together to make a trend, not a complete mess like some. 



*side note, while traveling with my family in costa rica last year, we had the pleasure of spending christmas eve and christmas with Mario Sorrenti (one of the photographers in this clip) and his wonderful family. they were some of the most caring and humble individuals i have ever met. we made the connection when my mom asked their son where they lived and he said "new york, but we travel all of the time with daddy's job..." and the rest was history. needles to say it was more than a pleasure to be able to spend about three days with such amazing talent. *

i hope that you enjoy this video as much as i did. - check out the VOGUE cover story for all of the details.

I'M BACK

hi! first of all i would like to apologize for the lack of posts lately. i have been going though a career change, and needed to take some time to get everything moving forward. needless to say, i am extremely happy to be part of the fast growing world of marketing, and honored to be part of the definition6 team.

now... to get things moving back in the right direction i decided that i would introduce you all to my very favorite beauty tool, the Wet Brush. my roommates and i can all speak to say that it is way worth the $10.00. this brush is not only great for wet hair, but it is amazing to use while you're drying your hair. it reduces frizz and helps to keep your hair silky smooth. this is another must have and for $10.00 you can't go wrong.

if you live in the atlanta area, you can buy these at Jamison Shaw Hairdressers in Buckhead. you can also order them from multiple websites including btypros.com

ENJOY, and stay tuned for more posts coming soon!

get up and go

happy sunday! i can't believe that it is almost august, crazy how fast this summer has gone by. i know that i have already done a post about my favorite athletic wear, however i an important update. i have recently been complaining of my feet hurting in my tennis shoes, so my good friend anne lat me in on a little secret, newtons. after hearing her talk about how much they have changed her run, how they have become the "shoe" of blast900 (a local workout where you burn 900 calories in an hour), as well as how they have a 30 day return policy, i decided it was worth a shot. thanks to DEKA and their experts, i am now in love with my isaac neutral trainers. newton makes several different styles depending on how much run, how your feet turn, and the type of exercise you do. I have to say, at first they feel a little different than your normal running shoe, but once you start running you will be hooked, i promise. not only i am saying that these shoes will change your workout, but they will also improve your workout fashion :). all of the shoes are supper bright and fun. so go ahead get some new shoes and improve your workout, feet and posture- they are worth it.

*they make both women's and men's shoes.
