Fifty Words For Snow ~ Vogue Netherlands October 2014
Oh this shoot is just everything!
Photographer Ishi captures model Emily Baker in a wardrobe resplendent in furs and oversized coats for the October 2014 issue of Vogue Netherlands.
I love the juxtaposition of bronze skin against the silvers and winter whites.
I love the movement.
I love the braids.
Just perfect.

Lipari ~ The Glam Italia Tour
 |
| Midnight in Sicily, on the beautiful island of Lipari |
Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere.
And sometimes in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself.

This year I lead a private tour of Italy.
We called it the Corinna B's World Glam Italia Tour.
It really was quite glamorous.
We spent a few days in the Aeolian Islands, with home base being the beautiful island of Lipari.

From Lipari we took boat trips to other islands in this breathtakingly beautiful volcanic chain.

One of the most magnificent things about the Aeolians is the lack of Hiltons. And Marriots. And any other major chain of hotels.
There were no condo complexes blighting the horizon.
It was perfect.

If you venture to Lipari, stay in Canneto Beach. It is only 5 minutes from the main harbor and Lipari town, but is quiet, lovely, and has a perfect view of the active volcano Stromboli across the water.

There are fantastic places to eat in Canneto Beach, and you can walk to them all.
(Just make sure you avoid La Papisca. They charge tourists a ridiculously inflated prices and are surly and mean. Everywhere else is fantastic).

We stayed at the beautiful Hotel La Zagara. The service was amazing and very personable, and we loved everything about this hotel. I most definitely plan on staying there again next year.
