Double Double ~ Kelly Mittendorf For Fashion Magazine

I always love photographer Chris Nicholls' editorials for Canada's Fashion Magazine. 
Always brilliant, always inspired, always exciting.

The November 2014 issue of Fashion Magazine features the ever stunning Kelly Mittendorf working her magic in the new season's furs, alongside her alter ego, illustrated by Jamie Lee Reardin.

Fifty Words For Snow ~ Vogue Netherlands October 2014

Oh this shoot is just everything!

Photographer Ishi captures model Emily Baker in a wardrobe resplendent in furs and oversized coats for the October 2014 issue of Vogue Netherlands.
I love the juxtaposition of bronze skin against the silvers and winter whites.
I love the movement.
I love the braids.
Just perfect.

Lipari ~ The Glam Italia Tour

 Lipari, Aeolian Islands, Sicily.

Midnight in Sicily, on the beautiful island of Lipari

Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere.
And sometimes in the middle of nowhere, you find yourself.

This year I lead a private tour of Italy.
We called it the Corinna B's World Glam Italia Tour.
It really was quite glamorous.
We spent a few days in the Aeolian Islands, with home base being the beautiful island of Lipari.

From Lipari we took boat trips to other islands in this breathtakingly beautiful volcanic chain.

Aquacalda, Lipari

One of the most magnificent things about the Aeolians is the lack of Hiltons. And Marriots. And any other major chain of hotels.
There were no condo complexes blighting the horizon.
It was perfect.

If you venture to Lipari, stay in Canneto Beach. It is only 5 minutes from the main harbor and Lipari town, but is quiet, lovely, and has a perfect view of the active volcano Stromboli across the water.

From Aquacalda in Lipari you can see Salina, the island from Il Postino

There are fantastic places to eat in Canneto Beach, and you can walk to them all.
(Just make sure you avoid La Papisca. They charge tourists a ridiculously inflated prices and are surly and mean. Everywhere else is fantastic).

We stayed at the beautiful Hotel La Zagara. The service was amazing and very personable, and we loved everything about this hotel. I most definitely plan on staying there again next year.

10 Things I Love About Fall

I live in a hot place. 

A very hot place.

Summer here in the desert can be brutal so every year when fall arrives it lands like a gift. The kind of gift that leaves you giddy and a little drunk with excitement.

This year in Phoenix we are not having an extended summer rolling on into October, instead we have a perfect new season for real, all soft skies soft air, and soft light. It's magic!

To celebrate the loveliness of it, here are my 10 favorite things about fall, in no particular order.

Deep, dark lips. 

Big, chunky sweaters

Chunky knits from The Row, Fall 2014

Boots!

Jimmy Choo Boots, Fall 2014

Dark nails

Pumpkin soup.

Actually any and all soups. But I'm making pumpkin soup this weekend.

Trees changing

Scarves.
I never used to be a scarf person, but now I love them.

Hats

Smudgey, moody eye makeup

Charlotte Tilbury Makeup

Furry coats
