Winter fashion 2015 draws inspiration from a number of different influences and eras. From vintage to ultra-mod, tribal, baroque, and retro, this year’s winter styles are truly unique and varied.

Letting go of things may or may not come easily to you. Many of us tend to hold onto things for far too long, outfits included! We keep some outfits because they have favorite memories associated with them.

This time of year usually stirs up the desire to reflect upon the last 12 months, and to express gratitude for all that we have. The following quote (long but good!) was sent to me and unfortunately I couldn’t find the name of the author. 

We do a lot of eating during the holidays, at all the events and parties and dinners. This got me thinking again about the importance of healthy eating.

It’s interesting to me that a lipstick with more orange in it is most flattering in the frosty bluish light of winter. It reminds me of that spectacular Christo installation called “The Gates” in NY’s Central Park in February 2005.

Thanksgiving is tomorrow, amazing! Considering the temperature reached 68 degrees in New York City recently, how on earth is one to dress for Turkey Day?! This all depends on where you’ll be spending the holiday.

I’m so thrilled to incorporate AUTHOR into my resume. I can’t believe I’m almost finished writing my first book. Wow! My agent Alan Morell (Creative Management Partners) negotiated a great deal for my book “Insider’s Guide to Teen Modeling."

What a week it was! World Stroke Day was last Wednesday October 29th, and I was one busy spokesperson. I participated in events throughout NYC raising awareness about strokes.

World Stroke Day is coming up and I’m looking forward to participating in the events surrounding this very important campaign. World Stroke Day was established by the World Stroke Organization in 2006.

What a day it was! Last week I spent a splendid day in a Brooklyn studio (with a fine view of the Naval Yard from the roof deck) shooting my campaign for The American Stroke Association (ASA).

Last week was Rosh Hashanah, and I celebrated it at The Kabbalah Centre in New York. It was my first experience of a Kabbalistic Rosh Hashanah, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. 

Seems pretty basic enough right? Trusting your instinct is common practice for most of us when it comes to selecting what dress to buy or what seat to purchase for a live event.

Morning meals are an important step for starting my day off with plenty of energy and focus. I find in warmer months I tend to be less hungry when I wake up. 

As we head towards the finish line, I’m liking what I’m seeing thus far from the New York Fashion Week runways for Spring/Summer 2015. Specifically from Carolina Herrera, Versus and Cushnie et Ochs. 

I’m back from Esalen in Big Sur, CA. I’m also back in NY after being in CA for a week of vaca: 4 days in LA with friends, and 3 days in Big Sur at Esalen Institute. 

I will be spending this Labor Day weekend at Esalen Institute in Big Sur California. I’m excited about finally getting to see and experience this world-renowned place that’s been around for about 50 years. 

Contrary to popular belief, not all models are obsessed with clothes and parading a dizzying array of different fashion styles 365 days a year. I fall into this category. 

The week is just starting and I’ve already discovered three things that I’m psyched about. I wonder what else I’ll find before weeks end…?

Today I had a commercial audition for a skincare line that required me to say a lot of copy into the camera. Some of this text had phrases that are not in our everyday vernacular.

What to do? The perils of all three are enough to send a woman running for the hills. Oh these modern times…wouldn’t it be nice to live in an age where women could be women and men could be men?
