Scarlett the Modern Day Marilyn

It's no secret that I have a serious crush on Scarlett Johansson. She is in my opinion the modern day Marilyn Monroe. My love affair with her goes much deeper than just her beautiful figure and porcelain skin though. I find myself loving almost every film that she has ever been in. She tends to always pick really unique roles. Obviously my all time favorite movie with her in it is Lost in Translation with Billy Murray. I love the quirky yet quiet soul she plays. Then there was Vicky Christina Barcelona which was phenomenal. Two friends move to Barcelona for the summer and find themselves in love with the same gorgeous painter Javier Bardem. The love affair between her, his ex-wife Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem is something not to be missed. Also in 2008 there was The Other Boleyn Girl which featured her and Natalie Portman, another one of my favorite actresses. So today's blog is dedicated to a young women who I find to be incredible. Enjoy this beautiful shoot photographed by the brilliant Peter Lindbergh for Vogue China's April issue.

Elephants and Thailand...

I have always had a love for elephants. I find them to be the one of the most fascinating animals in the wild. So you can imagine how excited I was when I saw this article. The shoot took place in the Thailand. A place I have always wanted to go, but have yet to visit. Hope you enjoy these photos as much as I did..

Frills and Lace: Beach Chic

While I am not a fan of the brand I am absolutely loving the new Guess Spring 2011 ad campaign. It feels very Brigitte Bardot circa 1950. It makes me want to break out the swim suit and hit the beach.
