My Favorite Etsy Designs

2009-07-03T11:02:00.013-05:00

I thought I might share some of my favorite designs from Etsy.
Sometimes when I am bored, I like to browse the various designers
and see what people are coming up with.
I am never disappointed and always find something that I adore.
Here a few pieces that I found today that I think are beautiful!
Hope you like them as much as I do!

This skirt is so girly with it's light pinks and blues...it was made from 15 yards
of fabric and has 6 tiers of ruffles.
The awesome thing about this skirt is that you don't have to worry
about it not fitting...the waist can be adjusted with the satin ribbon.

Heidi Klum

2009-06-15T16:34:00.013-05:00

I LOVE Heidi Klum…ok… so who doesn’t? If you don’t…I seriously think something is wrong with you!

Heidi is my role model; she looks amazing for her age, has her own TV show, is a fashion designer, artist, actress, mom of two, and a model…someone is WAY busy!

Birth Date: June 1, 1973

Place of Birth: Bergisch Gladbach, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

Hair Color: Blonde (Natural Brunette)

Eye Color: Hazel

Measurements: 36-27-37

Height: 5’ 9.5”

Heidi Klum started her career on April 29, 1992 when she won modeling contest called “Model 92.” She was offered a modeling contract with Metropolitan Models New York and started modeling a few months later.

Klum has graced the covers of Vogue, ELLE, and Marie Claire, and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue

She is currently a spokesmodel for Jordache and Volkswagen and appeared in Spin City, Sex and the City, Yes, Dear, Blow Dry, and How I Met Your Mother.

In 2007 she earned $8 million, 2008 earned $14 million, and in 2009 is estimated to make $16 million…I WISH!!

Anna Selezneva

2009-06-14T11:48:00.016-05:00

Nationality: Russian

Birth Date: 6/29/1990

Place of Birth: Moscow Russia

Hair Color: Dark Blonde

Eye Color: Blue/Green

Measurements: 32.5-23.5-34.5

Height: 5’9”

Agencies: Silent, Brave Model Management

Anna Selezneva first started her career at 17 in 2007 by signing a modeling contract with an international agency, Silent Models.

Her first magazine cover was for Vogue Italia for the November 2007 issue. Since then she has landed 3 other covers…one for the October 2008 issue of V Magazine, and two for the September 2008 issue of French and Russian Vogue.

In 2008 she walked the runway for designers Akris, Dries Van Noten, Celine, Calvin Klein, Jean Paul Gaultier, Gucci, Karl Lagerfeld, and Christion Dior.

She appeared on the cover of Italian and Japanese Vogue in early 2009.

Anna Selezneva sounds like she has a promising career and I hope she becomes a great hit…she is currently the face of Calvin Klein’s Spring/Summer 2009 campaign. I love her diverse style, structures cheek bones, and her ability to flow down the runway...

This is her new photo shoot for UK Vogue-April 2009 Issue…super cute!!

Vogue Italia: March 2008

2009-06-13T11:06:00.006-05:00

Here are some AMAZING and inspirational photos taken by Steven Meisel for the Vogue Italia-March 2008 Issue. These shots almost seem like you are being taken back in time. The texture of the photos are great, as he is trying make the picture look old. I also like the ghost-like blurs...it's kind of creepy! Anyways…enjoy the photos!

Paolo Roversi

2009-06-07T10:00:00.007-05:00

I was browsing through pictures online and I came across these photos by Paolo Roversi. His works are beautiful...you feel like you are stepping back in time into a fairytale land. I love the gritty texture and dark colors that he uses. Very inspiring and peaceful....

Mary-Kate

2009-06-05T11:03:00.020-05:00

You can’t deny Mary-Kate definitely has style. She has been gorgeous ever since she was 5 running around on Full House. Her signature look has transformed into a Vogue bohemian style. Love her messy hair, daring bags, high heeled shoes mixed with skinny jeans, and funky sunglasses. This girl has it…she has her own style and is not afraid to show it.

Cutesy, little Mary-Kate was seen on the cover of Teen Vogue in December 2006 wearing a little red dress and chunky neckalace.

Mary-Kate and Ashley are coming out with a new menswear clothing line called “the Row” (prices range from $150-$850) and recently wrote a book entitled Influence.

I must say not only do these two girls look GREAT, they are imaginative and creative. They are constantly coming up with new ideas and working hard. I adored her character in Weeds (Tara Lindman), I totally could see her being that way in real life.

In Mid-2004, Mary-Kate entered herself into a treatment center for anorexia nervosa and is now living happy and healthy.

In 2010 she is playing a role in a movie called Beastly…as you probably already guessed…I’ll be in the theatre with my popcorn and Coke for that one!

Models too skinny?...I think not...

2009-06-04T10:19:00.014-05:00

Nothing is better then a little bit of Dolce & Gabbana. It’s sizzling hot!...their ads make me want to grow a foot and lose 10 pounds. Too bad I’m only 5’1”. I must say…it sucks for us short girls. I get all riled up about models that make excuses for gaining weight. It’s like making an excuse to your boss why you did not show up for work for a whole month. (I know…a little extreme…but at least you get my point.)

I am so tired of hearing people say that models are TOO skinny…”Too skinny”?!?!? What the heck?!? There is no such thing as too skinny, unless you are undernourished, can’t walk, in the hospital, and with IV’s in your arm. If these girls can walk down the runway, they are not too skinny.

Sometimes, I think the reason people say these runway models are too skinny is because they are just hating. Plan and simple haters

They can not get off their own fat @ss to go to gym or control what they put in their mouth. All they are doing is secretly hating themselves and taking it out on skinny, gorgeous models.

EVEN models make excuses why they gain weight. Personally, that is the biggest “no no” of all model “no no’s.” A models job is to MODEL. You can not look like people that sit in an office and work all day…they are the ones that are lusting after YOU!

So…what I’m trying to say is: People stop hating on models because they are skinnier then you & models stop making excuses for gaining a little bit of weight….stay skinny and represent!!

“You can never be to rich or too skinny.”

Alice Burdeu

2009-06-03T17:48:00.026-05:00

Nationality: Australian

Hair Color: Red

Eye Color: Grey

Date of Birth: January 27, 1988

Place of Birth: Melborne, Victoria, Australia

Height: 5’ 11”

Measurements: 31-24-33.5

I do not know how many of you like to watch Next Top Model from different countries, but that is one of my all time favorite things to watch. Sometimes, I watch even if I do not understand the language…who cares as long as there are gorgeous girls in gorgeous clothes, right?

Anyway…my boyfriend and I are coming to the end of watching Season 3 of Australia’s Next Top Model. I have this love/hate relationship with Alice Burdeu. I love her because she is definitely model material, but I hate her because she is sooooo boring. I find that she has absolutely NO personality, constantly complains, and (to make matters worse) slumps her shoulders!!

I have never done this before…but…I cheated. I had to find out who won! It was bothering me so much that I googled it. And yes…Alice Burdeu won.

There are a couple things I love about her (besides also hating her…) is her red hair (I have red hair too...I need to stand up for us!), pasty skin, and willowy body.

Alice has had the most successful career out of any model that has won Next Top model. She has been on the cover of Vogue Australia twice and walks the runway with supermodels Coco Rocha and Ali Stephens.

Sasha Pivovarova

2009-06-02T12:57:00.031-05:00

Hair Color: Blonde

Eye Color: Blue

Date of Birth: 1986

Place of Birth: Moscow, Russia

Height: 5' 10"

Measurements: 34-24-34

One thing (other then being gorgeous), that I love about her is her love of art and reading. Sasha started taking art lesson when she was just 6 years old and studied art history at the University of Moscow. She lives in her art studio in Brooklyn, NY, where she enjoys painting and sketching in her free time. According to an interview with CNN she draws and paints on anything she can find.

Sasha started modeling in 2005 after a photographer Igor Vishnyakov

sent her pictures to IMG. Only 2 weeks later she walked the runway in a Prada show in Milan. In one year she appeared on two Italian Vogue covers and continually graces the covers of American, Italinan, French, British, Japanese, and Chinese Vogue....PHEW!!!...I didn't even mention how many designers she has walked the runway for!!! (Prada, Gucci, Alexander McQueen, Calvin Klein, Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabanna,...ok...so I think you get the point.)

Sasha is happily married to her first photographer Igor Vishnyakov.
