I love Lara stone.

Kendall Jenner Goes Topless For Interview Magazine

18 year old Kendall Jenner, sibling of Kim Kardashian, seems to be making a name for herself in the modeling world.
Last month she made it into Vogue Paris lensed by Patrick Demarchelier, and now this month she is in Interview Magazine, photographed topless by Mikael Jansson.

Who cares if Kendall Jenner is topless? That face is just spectacular!

I don't watch the Kardashians, so when I first saw her I had no idea that she was a reality TV girl. I thought she was a particularly stunning model.
She looks like she has what it takes - her face is just amazing (the brows! those eyes! that mouth!) and her body looks long and lean.

Prepare For International Travel In Style

"I will prepare, and someday my chance will come..."

Abraham Lincoln

One of my mantras.
I believe in it to my core.
So I like to be prepared at all times for any excitement or adventure that may come my way. 

In my book that means having a valid passport and a valid International Drivers Permit at all times. Should an impromptu trip to somewhere exciting or an international makeup job land in my lap, I am always ready to go.

You can organize a passport through the USPS, but it normally takes a few weeks, so don't leave it too late. You can pick up an International Driving Permit through AAA, each one is valid for a year.

While traveling overseas you are required to keep your passport with you pretty much all the time. I like to keep mine in a stylish passport holder, such as this new one I just received from Stephanie Johnson, purveyor of luxe makeup bags, luggage accoutrements and iPad covers. Her products are coveted and adored by celebrities (that's how I first found her fabulous makeup bags - actresses I  work with have them).

Ready to board my flight...

This year I am traveling with my new Malibu Lemon passport holder and matching luggage tags. Although my luggage is pretty easily identifiable I do like my accessories to match one another. The passport holder not only stops my passport from getting beaten up in my handbag, but it makes it easy to locate, and more difficult to leave behind anywhere.
And its beautiful and sunny.
The Stephanie Johnson Passport Cover comes in several fabulous colors, check them all out at StephanieJohnson.com
In addition to the lovely Malibu Lemon (which makes me think of the Amalfi Coast and Capri, two of the fabulous locations the Corinna B's World Glam Italia 2014 Tour will be hitting this September), I especially love the Malibu Aqua and Malibu Orange.

Into The Wild ~ Coco Rocha For Harpers Bazaar Mexico

Coco Rocha is always so theatrical.

When she is modeling you feel like she has created a character,

and then she gives that character incredible dimension.

I love this shoot she did for Harpers Bazaar Latin America.

Her fierce expressions and warrior-like poses

enhance the tribal feel of this stunning editorial.

Romero Jennings' brilliant makeup 

and Fernando Torrent's graphic hairstyling

Classic Beauty ~ Jacquelyn Jablonski For Vogue Turkey

I always think dark haired girls are so much sexier than blondes.

The whole California blonde/ Barbie thing is so overdone,

so tired, so dime-a-dozen.

has brunette Jacqueline Jablonsky on the cover

and in a fabulous fashion story inside,

looking gypsy-sexy and steaming hot

with darker than ever tresses

moodily challenging you

Oribe The Collection Travel Set

This September I am leading a little group of ladies from the south on a personal tour around Italy.

We will be drinking win here at the spectacular Hotel San Pietro in Positano

Not the tour bus trip of Italy, not the Italy you see from a cruise ship, but Corinna B's World's Italy - essentially some of my favorite off the beaten track places combined with a few of the main places a first timer in Italy has to see.

None of the ladies have traveled internationally before, so although the trip is still 3 months out, I'm making them lists of travel essentials. Being that it's summertime now and plenty of you will be traveling too, I'm going to share some of it with you via the blog.

If you follow this blog you'll know that I am obsessed with Oribe hair care products.
The main hairstylist I shoot with, Drew Noreen, uses Oribe products exclusively, and is always giving me the lowdown on how to get the best out of my hair with Oribe.

Last year he turned me onto Gold Lust. 

This exquisite, light as air hair oil not only protected my color from the fierce sun and days spent in the ocean both in Sicily and on the Italian Riviera, but it also kept the condition of my hair silky, smooth and soft.
Normally after one week at the beach my hair is trashed. Last summer I was in Italy for 6 weeks, and not only was my hair easy to manage and style while I was away, but I came home with my hair still shining and looking gorgeous.

This year I already have a travel size Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil ready to go.
Actually I have everything I need for my hair in travel sizes from Oribe.

Yesterday while we were shooting a fashion story for a national magazine, Drew hooked me up with the Oribe The Collection Travel Set. (and the ladies on the Corinna B's World Glam Italia 2014 tour are buying theirs this week!)

The Oribe The Collection Travel Set is a set of 7 single use shampoos, conditioners and masques. This gives you the opportunity to try them if you haven't already, or for the traveler they are the ideal luxury companion, enabling you to maintain glorious locks without weighing down your travel bags.
For those of you who haven't yet crossed over into the decadence of Oribe hair products, they not only are unparalleled in performance ( nothing makes your hair look more beautiful than Oribe!) but the smell of them is just heaven!

I will be blogging and posting pictures on Instagram from the Corinna B's World Glam Italia 2014 Tour.
