Model Crush Monday - Dutch Beauty Romee Strijd

Natural beauty Romee Strijd isn’t new to the modeling world, but at 21 years old she is breaking out to be one of 2017’s hottest models in the business.  At 5’11”with fresh girl-next-door looks along with a sexy-sporty body, Romee was an obvious choice for Victoria’s Secret, becoming an Angel in age 19, appearing in the catalogues and most notably in the VS runway show. 


Approached by an agent at age 13, Romee was too shy to pursue a career in modeling, but by age 15 she had spent enough time streaming the Victoria’s Secret shows on her computer and practicing her own runway walk, that she was eager to give the business a try.  After two years of modeling, traveling and missing teenage life, she returned home to finish school.  After graduation she was back to work where she quickly caught the eye of designers and editors who cast her in the top shows and magazine editorials.  Timing is everything and a model has to be ready for the industry just as the industry has to be ready for her particular look. 


Romee loves to work out and does weight training, cross training and barre classes with her fellow VS models.  Her love of fitness makes her a natural for Victoria’s Secrets VSX Sports line of athletic wear.  She proves that a healthy, fit body is far sexier than a rail thin figure in her recent Maxim magazine spread shot by the legendary Gilles Bensimon.


At just 21 years old, fresh, sexy, sporty Romee will be on the industry radar for years to come.

Rose Ceremony - Ultra-Feminine Beauty

Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to get a head start on spring beauty and fashion which offers up gorgeous, fresh, sexy alternatives to the expected red lips, stilettos and body-con dresses, so get a jump on warmer days ahead with glowing beauty and flowing, sensual style.


This year’s best feminine fashion conjures up adjectives like floating, draping, dreamy, and soft.  Erogenous zones become shoulders, backs, wrists, knees, and necks, with fashion that skims over the body without a hint of cling. 


One of this year's most pretty beauty trends is rose toned makeup that warms the complexion and adds a youthful glow to skin as if spring had already arrived.  If you are pale skinned, look for colors that have blue undertones and products that are not overly pigmented which would overwhelm. Olive skin suits a slightly deeper rose palette that has warm undertones but doesn’t look too peach.  Darker skin looks amazing with a highly pigmented bright pink palette that pops, or plum tones that give a soft glow. 


Roses aren’t just for Valentine’s Day, and ultra-feminine style doesn’t have to be saccharine-sweet in order to be sultry and sensual.  Don’t forget to take pictures – you won’t regret this fashion statement later.  Happy Valentine’s Day Gorgeous!

Model Crush Monday – Sports Illustrated Swimwear Edition 2017 Rookie Lais Ribero


Brazilian supermodel Lais Ribero has been announced as one of Sports Illustrated Swimwear Edition's Rookies for 2017, a star turn that is sure to cement her ranking as one of the most in-demand models of the moment.  At 6’1” and 26 years old, this striking Amazonian beauty with curves that don’t quit, appearing in the coveted swimwear issue is a giant leap forward in an already stellar career, assuring that if she isn't already, she soon will be a household name. 


Lais works regularly for Victoria’s Secret and has walked in their show since 2010, making her one of the brand’s most bankable models.  Swimwear and lingerie aside, Lais has walked dozens of runways and appeared in international editions of Vogue, Elle, and Harper’s Bazaar, shooting with the most influential designers, editors and photographers in the business. 


With one million followers on Instagram, her feed is playful and fun not to mention sexy, as she shares photos from her recent work and plenty of animated behind-the-scenes shots with her fellow VS models and photographers. 


2017 is shaping up to be a breakout year for this South American beauty – we are sure she won’t stay a Sports Illustrated Rookie for long!  She is guaranteed to become a fan favorite - not bad for a woman who only thought about modeling after having a child. Lais is one hot mama!
