Cover Story | November 2013

I have loved watching Marion Cotillard on screen since her legendary performance in La Vie en Rose in 2007. From start to finish, I kept thinking how can anyone be this good?

And yet she was. And continues to be as her global star glows across silver screens every year.

The French actress's latest project, The Immigrant, has been receiving strong reviews at film festivals across the country and in Europe. It's scheduled for a wider U.S. release in 2014, and I am hoping that a local independent theater picks it up.

For the cover, Cotillard wears a knit bra top and wool shorts by Dior, and bracelets by David Yurman. She's 37 and looks amazing. For the story, she tells friend and fellow actress, Jessica Chastain, that she not only loves being an actress for the story telling aspect, but because it allows her "to explore what a human being is." Well, I'd say she's doing a pretty darn good job at both!

Elle's November issue features 8 women on Hollywood's It list. Pick up your copy [ cover may vary ] to deCODE more interviews on the women making waves on set.

Harper's Bazaar | August 2013 | Candice Swanepoel | Cover Story

Candice Swanepoel may be a South African beauty, but she really brought out the American Splendor in this month's issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine. Although Bazaar focused on nature's beauty for Fall, I find it so relevant to Summer!

Every Summer, American and foreign tourists travel our states to behold exotic locations, Thor's Hammer, Lurray Caverns, or Route 66. And, of course unique favorites, Native American cultural centers including the Yakama Nation Museum which I was so fond of growing up.

Harper's Bazaar - February 2013 - Fashion Preview - Jennifer Lopez

Remember in 2011 when JLo was named the Most Beautiful Woman by People Magazine? It's no wonder why she graced the cover of Harper Bazaar's Fashion Preview.

Who needs a Knight in Shining Armour when you've got Jenny from the Block holding it down? You have to agree, there's no damsel in distress here!
