 Lara Stone

i recently read an article in Elle UK regarding this jaw dropping model.

i have long envied her beautiful curves and soft full lips and cheeks.

it turns out she is unhappy being known as the "vuluptuous" model, and has started to work out more vigorously in order to change her shape.

  i wonder if she will have even half as many admirers when she looses what is most unique and refreshing about her.

chanel spring '10

for years my husband had heard my girlfriends and I mention Chanel- the famous french design house now run by an accentric septuagenarian by the name Karl Lagerfeld.

In the same span of time, Paul would occasionally flip through the random assortment of fashion magazines that are commonly strewn around our home.

He kept running across ads- very expensive looking ones at that- for an odd company by the name Chanel. Now in his head he always read this Chanel- like a river or a body of water. 

Until one day....he came to me with a big smile and said, "hey, all this time I thought this Chanel company was taking out a lot of ads, funny I had never heard of them. Now I realize that Chanel is in fact Chanel(read Shannell)!" 

One more reason to love this man...
