Grr. England is amazing...and amazingly inspirational....but I miss the beach! 

Maybe it's the gloomy weather...the slight chill in the air...but coming from the Caribbean, I really would love to just lounge about on some hot sand right now, working on my tan, listening to the waves crash against the shore...margarita in hand of course!

So, here's to the readers currently enjoying some sun [and heat]... 

Hopefully this gets me by till either summer or the next time I'm home... :'(

Hey all!

As I previously mentioned, I spent last weekend in Edinburgh, Scotland and [do I even have to say?] it was AMAZING!....

Seriously, the city is so full of history, albeit with lots of gore, but also a lot of inspiration...

Much like the rest of Europe, it's a ton of architecturally gorgeous buildings surrounded by the wonderfully energetic buzz of a modern and cosmopolitan society.

One feature that I really found fascinating was the fact that the city was built in levels, with some roads weaving under buildings and bridges adding to the sophistication of Edinburgh.
You would walk over a bridge, look over and expect to see a river or stream and find cars and pedestrians!

There was even an amazing parade of shops [Princes Street], with every retailer you could want, running parallel to a gorgeous set of gardens, set in a large depression that formerly used to be a large lake [of sewage...ironic much?] with a huge castle on a hill right next to it... I mean, what could be more breathtaking and stunning to be doing your shopping right next to a castle??

Edinburgh Castle atop the mound. Gardens in the middle, Princes Street to the Right.

It's quite funny, in that, I never really thought to visit Scotland but, once there, completely fell in love with it and didn't want to leave. The people were exceedingly friendly, the food was amazing [once you get over the mental image of what's in Haggis it's quite delish!] and even the nightlife was banging..haha.. even though whiskey isn't my drink of choice...

...and of course...tartan!

men, women and dogs!

...doesn't have to be red...

Even celebs have turned to tartan! #cute

kilts, castles and sewage lakes? oh my!....Either way, I can't get enough of Scotland!

Not so much on the heels of the Kate Moss post comes this week's Style File on Naomi!

Another popular British model, [one of the few 'supermodels' actually,] who rose to prominence in the 90s.

Similarly to Kate, Naomi has suffered her fair share of scandal, but in true supermodel fashion has bounced back, making a stunning return to the fashion world.

And what a glorious return it has been with that stunning gait she has. 

*tries to be objective*.... ok but seriously... BEST. WALK. EVER. hands down. not even kidding.

If you haven't seen Naomi walk, you haven't lived. *heads to YouTube*

*...breathes life to clothes*

*...legs like a horse*

*...hips, hips hips*

Anyways, enough fawning. I'll let her portfolio do the talking.

Disclaimer: I was super inspired by her pics that I couldn't decide which ones to post. Decided to make two, one of her amaze color photos, and one of her B&W ones. Enjoy!

Plus... I mean community service in designer gowns...fabulousssssss!
