Victoria's Secret Suite

RAY-BAN Classic Wayfarer Sunglasses

During New York Fashion Week, I was invited to attend the Victoria's Secret VIP Suite. Where I was treated to an exclusive peek of the upcoming Victoria's Secret intimates collection and new fragrance, Gorgeous. I was privy to hors d'oeuvres, the choice of a Bombshell makeover, manicure and even a massage! The perfect way to relax mid-Fashion Week. The weather was balmy and the roof top setting offered an ideal view of New York. Doutzen Kroes made a guest appearance, as she is one of four Victoria's Secret faces gracing ELLE Magazine's cover this month. I also spy, Miranda Kerr on the cover...

What's your favorite Victoria's Secret fragrance?

Yellow Brick Road

After watching a creepy countdown on young girls being kidnapped and vanishing into thin air on E! last night, I came across this really great article. Safety Tips for Women (and men, too!) Be safe out there, folks! On a more cheerful note, who else has a celeb-crush on Freckles... aka.. Evangeline Lilly from Lost? She's peeking out of my bag from the cover of one of my favorite Elle magazine issues (May 2006). I need to buy Lost Season 4...... haven't seen it yet. I need to have it.

City It Shines

A rainy Saturday afternoon led me to pad barefoot in the rug towards my archived collection of Fashion magazines. Missing the cool, crisp air that December often brings with it, my fingertips landed on an issue of Elle ― appropriately a December (2008) issue. Once I began flipping through the ostentatious volume, my attention was instantly captured by this very editorial.

Decadent dressing, spiderweb netting, vibrant red lipstick, metal clasp clutches, jewel encrusted cocktail frocks, freshly polished fingernails, shiny, long locks, over-the-top-yet-equally-extraordinary baubles; all leading to an air of mystery; a scene set up to allow a small peek into this "anonymous" woman's extravagant and lavish lifestyle.

Although it might be Monday, why not settle back into that oversize chair, to daydream . . . just a little more?
