Welcome back this MONDAY! If you haven't heard of jewelry designer Julie Vos - then I'm happy to introduce her to you. She launched her collection in 2006 (almost same time that I launched this blog!) and her line has been a real hit - featured in the pages of Marie Claire, Lucky, InStyle, Martha Stewart, Lonny Magazine and Vogue & more!

I've admired her jewelry line for quite sometime and am dying to get a few pieces! I love the gold aspect in almost all her designs - don't you? It's obvious I love them all but if I had to choose only two to add to my current collection, I'd choose this one and this one. The prices are reasonable & all these can totally be worn day or night!

Who knew that lips would be so popular?

Let's face it, model Lara Stone has a distinguishable mouth. Full lips & gap teeth. Apparently agencies nowadays aren't as concerned about IMPERFECTIONS. It's ok to be a fashion model & not be rejected at an agency if this if your issue. Well, it wasn't always that way. Back when I was growing up, being ETHNIC or an imperfection was 'pretty much' a stamp of REJECTION within most modeling agencies. Insane right? Things have definitely come a looooong way in the high FASHION modeling world. I'm very much aware of the few models like Lauren Hutton, Iman etc but my point is the majority of models back in the days, did 'not' have so-called imperfections & were 'not' ethnic. Very few were. Thoughts??

Glad to see that we can now see so-called imperfections about a person, as beautiful.

With that said, the new prints at MadeByGirl are an homage to Lara Stone & her pretty mouth. Art by Jessice Rowe. You can purchase this print with or without a frame directly on MadeByGirl, but I would recommend getting yours with a gold frame, as pictured below. It looks awesome!
