The highly anticipated Video Music Awards took place last night in Los Angeles. Although I missed the live show due to Fashion's Night Out, I have it recorded to watch later this weekend! I did want to post some photos of the arrivals on the red carpet and see what celebrities wore to the event. What did you think of the VMA's?

Joan Smalls Named #1 Model In Fashion Industry

Models.com just released their Top 50 Female Model's List, naming Joan Smalls their number one female model in the fashion industry. Joan is a 24 year old, 5'10.5  model with agency IMG New York and London, and hails from Puerto Rico. Models.com describes Joan as:

An innate elegance and multi-cultural beauty. Joan Smalls has become the defining face of modern luxury. Her unique blend of strength and elegance has captivated everyone from Karl Lagerfeld, Steven Meisel, and Carine Roitfeld. Her flawless bookings raise the bar for models everywhere. Vogue Italia, Vogue Paris, Pop, i-D, V, W, there isn't a cover she hasn't conquered, nor a campaign she hasn't landed. With the coup de grâce of an Estee Lauder contract solidifying her place as the girl of the moment, Joan moved from phenom to full-fledged powerhouse. Few models have seized their moment in such chic style.

Miss Smalls has been, without a doubt, one of my favorite models to date and is recognized for her campaign with Estee Lauder, and her numerous covers on top magazines like Australian and Italian Vogue, W Magazine- US and many many more. Joan is beyond stunning, has an extremely fierce cat walk and appeals to a wide audience. Since she is so young, I am sure we will be seeing a lot more of Joan and her accomplisments in the fashion industry!

InstaGlam Photo: Decorative Pillows

Many stores were having Labor Day sales this past weekend. So on Monday afternoon, my grandmother and I rushed to one of my favorite stores, Stein Mart (which many describe as a store for older women, but I find THE BEST pieces of clothing, jewelry and home decor here), to look at their home department. I have needed new bedding for quite some time now, so I was on a hunt for some good finds with my grandmother's three coupons on hand. I came across these two decorative pillows with French writing and fell in love! Now, I am trying to find bits and pieces here and there of Parisian styled decor to incorporate into my bedroom!

Happy Birthday Mrs. Knowles!
