Germany Wins...

Germany may have won the World Cup, but Deutschland also scored a goal with Vogue Germany's August cover story. As a nod to the old-school erotic romantic drama 9 1/2 Weeks, model Anja Rubik channels Kim Basinger's intensely seductive yet naive character. I'm loving it. If you haven't seen the 1986 film, get familiar. The most infamous scene? The bizarrely erotic food seduction scene staring Kim Basinger and her domineering lover Mickey Rourke - watch here. I'll forewarn you, you might think differently about your next trip to the refrigerator...

F is For....

  ...Fall, of course. It's hard to even skip ahead and mentally prepare, but these images just took me there in a big way. Granted, I'm counting down the days to my next east coast jaunt this summer, but this editorial with Giedre Dukauskaite for Vogue Mexico made my mind fast forward for a millisecond. Remember this post?

On the Coast: Rugged Beauty

  I've been captivated by the Oregon Coast for quite some time and it remains on my bucket list of domestic travel destinations. This home in Cloverdale, Oregon will be up for auction in two short weeks. Although there are several things I would do differently with the property, you can't ignore her rugged beauty & bliss - all 25 acres! See more here.

Just What I Needed.

I woke up feeling uninspired this morning, until I went through my archives and found this photograph. Pure spunk! This woman is fierce and fabulous in Prada, captured on the street in Paris via The Sartorialist.
