.Reading time 1 minute.

alek

Benetton enlisted a diverse array of subjects for their Spring 2013 ad campaign, including Sudanese supermodel Alek Wek and Brazilian transsexual model, Lea T. The dynamic group of models strike energetic poses for photographer Giulio Rusitchelli’s camera in Benetton’s colorful Spring wardrobe.

In a fun video interview, they each speak honestly and openly about their personal lives and what the word “color” means to them.  Besides revealing that, like many women, she chooses outfit colors based on her mood, Alex Wek drops this inspirational gem: “You have to be able to accept yourself bad and good because there is no perfect.” I couldn’t agree more.

Fashion Around The World

.Reading time less than 1 minute.

As I researched the different styles, I discovered that the world is full of amazing fashion influences. There are vibrant colors in East Africa, the sultry and sexy vibe in India, and the exaggerated silhouettes in Denmark. It is truly inspirational to see how these different countries express fashion and street style around the world (via African Mag). Let’s look at some of the styles:

5 Essentiels For The Mom On The Go

.Reading time 2 minutes.

I think they’re few must-have items that every mom should have with her at all times, just to be prepared in case of a chaotic situation. Here are my top 5 life-savers.

The Mom Bag:

Invest in one great bag large enough to carry around all our daily “chose”–like this Gucci and Michael Kors. With such a fabulous bag no one will ever guess it’s filled with kid’s stuff!

Hand Sanitizer:

Little fingers loves touching all kinds of things, so you always have to be prepared. I always have hand sanitizer on hand just in case my son decides he must touch that germ filled surface. Bath and Body Pocketbacs are my fav because they smell utterly delicious.

Over-Sized Glasses:

Our morning routines can be brutal. Sometimes we can barely get dressed, much less put on make-up before we get out of the house. So instead I put on a pair of over-sized glasses. (It’s better than looking lie a raccoon because you did not have much sleep). We’ve all been there. Try these great shades from Bebe.

Light-Weight Scarf:

If you’re always cold like me, you’ll appreciate this. Carry a light-weight scarf with you to warm you up and also to hide those food stains you’ve acquired throughout the day, or to simply jazz up a plain outfit. Choose something neutral that can go with everything and can be worn year round. These American Apparel jersey scarves are so budget friendly, you can afford to buy them in every color!

Lip Gloos:

A lip Gloss is a necessity for me. I cannot leave or function without my lip gloss. I hardly ever use lipstick, unless I’m going somewhere special.  This Victoria Secret lip gloss is shiny and moisturizes your Twisted Citris lips immediately.
