This week's The Edit is spectacular. From sultry suede à la Gucci worn by Malgosia Bela in her editorial photographs (see here), to the spotlight on this saddle bag, the '70s are quietly having a moment. A must read in this issue? The piece on Aerin Lauder and the making of (another) Lauder empire. Read here.
Next Week
Looking forward to next week's The Edit piece with Carolyn Murphy, courtesy of Net-A-Porter. This photograph took my breath away and Carolyn is always a vision. I always love seeing the natural landscape as a background in portrait photography.
Beg to Differ...
I have a love/hate relationship with Miranda Kerr. She is that girl you despise for looking like utter perfection every millisecond of her life, yet you obsess over her behind closed doors (not to mention that adorable little cherub of hers, Flynn). She was recently quoted in The Edit as not defining herself as a model. (See here). Well, my friends, I beg to differ. This girl is making an obscene amount of money from extremely lucrative contracts with fashion, cosmetic and lifestyle brands (despite not renewing her Victoria's Secret contract) and looking flawless is her job. Time to own it, Miranda.
Switching Off
A great reminder to take time away from both the workplace and technology courtesy of The Edit. Arianna Huffington often gets a lot of scrutiny but I really adore her.

More Than Just Margaritas...
NET-A-PORTER's THE EDIT does a fantastic job of showcasing new travel destinations. The latest? A nod to Isabel Goldsmith-Patiño who is behind the vibrant beach resort in Mexico called Las Alamandas. The private suite-only resort is painted in a palette of tropical sorbets, the property dotted by palm trees, jasmine and lush gardens. The property lends to vitality in spirit and landscape - one that will certainly make my "Mexico Must" list.
