dunn dunn dunn...


For being only 18-years-old, Jourdan Dunn has certainly come a long way in the modeling world. 

After being discovered while shopping with a friend in her hometown near London, England, Jourdan was signed with Storm Management in London, and eventually Women Management. 


A huge goal of hers was to equalize race among the fashion industry. As fashion continues to evolve, she wanted the sizes, shapes and ethnicities, to do the same.


Jourdan was signed on as the first black woman to walk for Prada in over 10 years.

She was appearing on magazines throughout the world...

It really seemed like she was going somewhere and staying true to her statement. 



It was recently announced, just days ago, that Jourdan Dunn and her boyfriend of nearly a year are expecting a child. She is only 18-years-old.



Many are beginning to wonder whether or not this will jeopardize Jourdan's reputation?

Will she become ridiculed or a stereotype?

Or will she defy odds and bounce back just as Heidi Klum has with the past three kids, raise her child, and maintain a healthy relationship?


Only time will tell...

bad genes

vogue paris eats american vogue, for breakfast.


ana rubik looking extremely fierce! i love the blue mini paired with the stilettos and believe it or not, the yellow socks. idk if i would ever rock that (well.. lets be honest, i would) but it definitely kicks ass.



another new favorite of mine, dutch model lara stone. this chick is 100 percent pure bonafide BAD-ASS. she rocks the gap between her teeth and being a "bigger model" in the world of size-zeros. 



daria werbowy always looks amazing, let's face it, but i really think it's funny that they incorporated a diet coke into vogue. that's some funny shittt.


AWESOME styling


kanye's ex-girlfriend sessilee lopez always steals the show. you remember her from kanye's infamous "lights" video. he handpicked her to be featured and then, of course... dated her.


f i e r c e, RAWR.


i love it how they're making chicks look like dudes in a lot of high-fashion magazines. maybe that is a reflection or some sort of symbolism since dudes insist on looking more & more feminine these days. (that only goes out to the little hipster, indie boys with the tight pants and hair that is prettier than mine. that is from me, to you, with a little bitta' jealousy.)



weird? my hair looks like that when i wake up EVERY morning.



lara lara lara

you're the shitttt.



i love sessilee's hair. she is so gorgeous & funky looking.


impressive styling, the french know wassup.


i like this one a little better but they're both pretty dope.



brazilian bombshell, isabeli fontana looks a little bit like penelope cruz here... no?


parisian vogue; i love love love you.

the end.


the august vogue paris issue is phenomenal. seriously, i read about it and figured, "yeah, yeah... they always say that?" but it seriously has incredible, epic editorials featuring some of the hottest faces of 2009. lara stone, daria werbowy, natasha poly, sessilee lopez, ana rubik (my fave), lily donaldson, sasha pivovarova, constance jablonski & isabeli fontana. a nice assortment of models from all around the world. i really like how there are a ton of different looks demonstrated within the single issue and all the models are really different looking. i know like in the recent chloe ad for example they had 3 models and literally i thought they were all the same person, so boring! yay for vogue paris, i wish i could understand the writing?

dukes up daisy, dukes up.





props to daisy lowe for remaining an ultra-badass throughout her 'hard-knock' life. i mean, the dj/model/actress didn't grow up sleeping in a car on the streets of london, but she was born to a drug-addicted mother who cheated on her father and had a one night stand with GAVIN ROSSDALE<3.>


now gwen stefani is her stepmama, adorable kingston & zuma are her step-brothers and she gets all of the hollywood connections any girl could want. gross, hopefully she never had a crush on mister rossdale... i know i did (do).

yoko vs coco











who is the bigger icon?

my vote=yoko.

it's true,

i'm loco for some yoko.

"Yeah..put an iconic face or something vulgar on a t-shirt and i’ll buy it, or any weirdass print, really I love that so much better than all the basics bull shit everybody’s bandwagoning. I’m not classy enough to pull off that simple look anyway..I prefer a nice pair of boobs on my t-shirts."

Another Little Angel On The Way

Something must be in the water over at Victoria's Secret! It has been confirmed that supermodel Karolina Kurkova is six months pregnant! Kurkova follows the footsteps of her fellow Angel's Adriana Lima, Heidi Klum and Gisele Bundchen who are currently expecting as well. Brazilian Angel Alessandra Ambrosio gave birth to her daughter Anja last August.

The Czech Republic born beauty is expecting her first child with her fiance Archie Drury. Drury is a former marine and Scientologist who created the documentary film, "Voices of Iraq". The two have been dating a little over a year.

Kurkova grew up in Czechoslovakia, where she was constantly ridiculed for her towering height. When she was 15-years-old a close friends of hers sent her photographs to a modeling agency in Prague and Karolina's modeling career took off instantly. Shortly after, she began appearing on runways, as well as print advertisements and ultimately chose to move to Milan in order to get the best exposure possible.

Right away she signed a contract with Miuccia Prada. In September of '99 Kurkova was featured in the American version of Vogue, which helped launch her career and also assisted in her decision to relocate to the fashion capital of the world, New York City. In 2001, Karolina landed the cover of Vogue, becoming one of the youngest models to ever be featured on the magazine's cover.

Unlike most models who opt to take the plunge by moving to the fast-paced, incredibly competitive Big Apple, Karolina experienced consistent success signing campaign after campaign with top designers Yves Saint Laurent, Tommy Hilfiger, Valentino, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Christian Dior, Hugo Boss, and Versace. In 2002, she was participated in Victoria's Secret televised fashion show showcasing the multi-million dollar fantasy bra, valued at 10 million dollars. Her flourishing accomplishments in the industry continued full throttle when Karolina was spotted on the runways dressed in luxurious garments at couture fashion shows for Alberta Ferretti, Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Calvin Klein, Carolina Herrera, Chanel, Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Karl Lagerfeld, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren, Stella McCartney & Vera Wang. Not bad for a rookie!!

The 5 foot 11 blonde goddess was persistent in proving she belonged in the spotlight!

In November 2008, E! Entertainment Television was named the sexiest woman in the world. There is no questioning that Karolina's child is going to be every bit as gorgeous as their mother and hopefully inherit their father's talent as well.

12 o'clock & it's friday


“as long as the music is loud enough, we won’t hear the world falling apart” 


sweet child of mine

“Style” is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style.”
