Shala Monroque for VOGUE Japan/January 2012

I've been waiting for this editorial ever since I found out about and I must say photographer Tommy Ton captured the beautiful Shala Monroque in the natural beauty that surrounds her homeland, St. Lucia for her editorial titled, Island in the Sun. Stylist Aurora Sansone completed each look with just the right amount of assesories and styling to keep the editorial elegant and simply chic. Shala has an impeccable sense of style that borders on simplicity and luxury without coming off contrived and this editorial speaks volumes. Absolutely stunning!

Need To Hear: Betty Wright: The Movie

This one is strictly for those who love listening to real music and those who love old-school music/soul music. Singing legend Betty Wright's latest musical offering should be a pleasant musical offering for weary ears. The Roots join the R&B legend on a musical cornucopia which features: Joss Stone, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg and others. I'm sure with the latter two, Betty will probably attract a whole new audience to her vocal style and talent. Most of the 'youngins' see her only as an hairstyle instead of the music legend she really is. I will going to Amazon real soon to place my order.

Ever since I found out Wonderland Magazine fashion editor and blogger favorite, Julia Sarr-Jamois would be featured in the 2012 Spring/Summer advertisement campaign for TIBI, I have been searching almost everyday to find a glimpse of her during the shoot.

Today was my lucky day because stylist Elin Kling of the fabulous blog, Style by Kling  and TIBI PR posted these gorgeous photos of Julia on her blog and on their Twitter page. From what I can see the ad campaign will be amazing and I can't wait to see the finished results!
