The countdown is on! My first book, “Finding the Supermodel In You – the Insider’s Guide to Teen Modeling” comes out on March 15th. All week, I’ll be posting exclusive video previews of the each chapter.

There is an endless supply of poses that a model can come up with when she’s posing for the camera. If you think about the incredible capacity of the human body to create a multitude of different physical movements and positions, it might free you up to move any which way your heart decides in front of the lens.

When I was at the height of my modeling career the runway walk was altogether different than what it is today. When I’m now asked to appear in a show, I always have to adjust my walk since I impulsively go to the style it was when I was regularly doing the shows.

There are so many how-to makeup posts that give you a step by step demonstration of the correct way to put on your makeup, but there is skill involved in removing it as well!

Here we go again! #NYFW kicks off today, which will get the ball rolling on an entire month of gorgeous new clothes being displayed on the runways in NY, London, Milan, and the final city, Paris. The whirlwind will end on March 9th – my birthday! 

Planes are a modern necessity for working and playing all over the globe. As is true for most industries, air travel is a business essential for those who work in fashion; models fly so frequently, they might as well call the clouds their home!

The Paris Haute Couture shows kicked off last Sunday and I love what I’m seeing thus far – Chanel! Bravo, Karl! Versace! Ditto, Donatella! Seeing the new collections always brings back such amazing memories.

I’m so excited to announce that my book will be released March 15th!! WooHoo! I’ve put my heart and soul into it, and I’m confident that my book will serve as an excellent guide to people of all ages and specifically the tween and teen would-be models out there. 

Here we are two weeks into the New Year and winter is finally showing itself in New York City. Temperatures have dipped from a Christmas day high of 70 degrees to a current 25 degree chill; the wind makes it more like 12 degrees. Brrrrrrr!

I had the most wonderful time this past holiday season with friends and family. I spent the Christmas week in Austin with relatives, and then I was off to Vail to ring in the New Year with friends.

While it is so exciting to get out of town for the holidays and take a little vacation, the one aspect that I can’t stand about the traveling process is packing my suitcase! Hate it! 

What to do when it rains and you have to race around town for appointments all day? How do you keep yourself together: hair, makeup, outfit? What about keeping that cheaply made umbrella you just paid $5 for on a street corner, from not breaking in the zany wind…? 

Is there such a thing as the perfect sweater? I think so. My favorite style is the big, loose cow neck with fitted torso and arms. I also like V neck sweaters whether chunky wool or light cashmere.

To store or not to store, that is the question. Ah storage, that seemingly necessary entity. I spent the better part of today pouring over three bins of photos. Excruciating.

Last week I experienced a particularly colorful Wednesday. The day started off normal enough, but quickly descended downward into a frustrating spiral of unwanted episodes being hurled my way.

Browns, greens, oranges…sumptuous and varied in range, these are just a few of the colors that come alive during the fall season and make me happy since I look good in them all!

I had the most surreal experience walking a New York Fashion Week runway last Thursday after not being on a NY runway in many years…! It was for Tome, and the two designers, Ryan Lobo and Ramon Martin are not only talented but they are kind.
