MODEL CRUSH MONDAY - LUCKY BLUE SMITH

       
Discovered at age ten and signed to Next Models at age 12, Utah-native Lucky Blue Smith and his three sisters have taken the fashion industry by storm, famously being photographed together by Hedi Slimane for Vogue Homme Japan when Lucky was only twelve years old.  How many teens have had such an illustrious career by 18 years old that they have enough life experiences to write their autobiography?  “Stay Golden” gives readers the story of Lucky’s upbringing, his family, being homeschooled, travels, explosion onto the fashion world scene, and his surf-rock band “The Atomics” with his three sisters. 


With 2.6 million followers on Instagram, countless Pinterest pages dedicated to him, Lucky’s face is everywhere, from magazine covers and editorials, to fashion runways, to campaigns, to music, which is in fact Lucky’s passion.  No doubt acting opportunities are on the horizon as well.
 

Lucky is now ranked the top male model in the fashion world, appearing in campaigns for Tom Ford, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Phillip Plein, Moncler, and L’Oreal, and on the covers of Vogue, GQ, Numero, i-D, W, Elle, and Harper’s Bazaar amongst others.  We can’t get enough of those steely blue eyes that reminds us of James Dean and a young Paul Newman, and the world is watching to see what Lucky will do next – modeling appears to be just the tip of the iceberg.

Hair Jewelry for the Ultimate Holiday Sparkle!


If ever there was a season to rock a tiara or to bedazzle your hair, it is the holiday season.  Dreaming of a prima ballerina moment wearing a pearled headband, or feeling like an exotic princess? Add some sparking embellishment and this is holiday hair done WAY better!


Many designers from Chanel to Dolce et Gabana, Alexander McQueen and Rodarte, have all tapped into the idea of fantasy hair, giving us another focal point to adorn, oftentimes right along with jeweled chokers AND chandelier earrings.  No need to go all out if you are a little less bold, though, as there are smaller pieces like hair brooches that are just as enchanting. 


If you love nothing more than the full on eye-catching twinkle of multiple pieces and statement tiaras then now is your time to shine.  Dolce et Gabana’s headpieces go all out in Italian style that channels the adornments on religious statuary, and noble family heirlooms worn all at once for maximum impact. 


The East-Indian-inspired pieces at Chanel’s Pre Fall 2012 runway show followed center parts of the model’s hair and trickled down onto their foreheads with pearls and rhinestones set into metallic gold and silvers.  This concept could work for a boho bride who wantes something less traditional than the classic pearled headband. 


Some of the hair embellishments have a 1920’s style to them, which feels like pure decadence during prohibition – oh la la!

An inexpensive and easy to purchase hair accessory can be found at Hidden Crown and attaches with the same clips used in temporary clip in extensions called their Crown Jewels. For $20 you get a very regal look! Here is the link to purchase : Hidden Crown Jewels





Prepare for lots of attention in these sparklers and go right ahead and have your Dutchess Kate moment! You know you want to!

Model Crush Monday - Daphne Groeneveld

Wide-set blue eyes, bombshell figure, and more than a passing resemblance to Brigitte Bardot have made Dutch supermodel Daphne Groeneveld a favorite amongst designers, photographers and editors for over five years.  It is hard to imagine that this beauty once hated her pillow lips, which have now become her trademark.


Scouted at age sixteen, Daphne has gone on to front many campaigns based on her unique beauty, appearing in fragrance campaigns for Jean Paul Gaulthier, Dior, Calvin Klein, and Tom Ford – a rare feat for any successful model. 


Daphne has a rare ability to appear child-like or “femme-enfant” in some editorials and campaigns, and then overtly sexual in others, which makes her one of the most versatile models in the industry, allowing her to easily go between runways and editorials, to commercial clients.

 

At age 21, Daphne continues to appear in campaigns such as for Tom Ford and Miu Miu, and on the top magazine covers such as Vogue, Bazaar and Elle worldwide.  This “Baby Bardot” is ranked amongst the top 50 models in the world and has so many great projects in her future. With a face and body like hers, she will no doubt tire of the modeling industry long before it tires of her!
