Champagne Furs and Diamond wishes: Tacarra Jones
One of my favorite models is Tocarra Jones. Her full figure and southern charm captured my heart on the first season of Top Model.

These images of her in Italian Vogue are stunning. It would be wonderful to see something this vibrant in Vogue...

La Isla del Encanto: Puerto Rico
Last spring we went to Puerto Rico with Max and David. It was a great trip, filled with kayaking through bio luminescent bays, jumping in waves, drinking mimosas on beds on the beach, and wandering through the rainforest. We’re finally getting around to posting this blog. I love playing catch up on holiday vacations.
