Jesse Pellington I wanted to feature a girl who oozes GLAMOR; from her flowing clip-ins, flawless make-up, never ending lashes and her vintage unique style of dress. She definitely has a style of her own and she makes her own rules. Jesse is one of the most sought after make-up artist in Charlotte, NC and a former Raiderette Cheerleader.

I recently asked Jesse, if she was stranded on a deserted island and she could only have five of her own personal items. What items would they be?
Thanks for the phrase Models.com...we couldn’t think of any other way to describe this fierce blonde! Welcome to London Madelene (wish you hadn’t brought the weather with you!)...
We’ve had the gorgeous Madelene in town for the last couple of weeks and we can safely say this girls feet have not touched the ground...well with a face and body like that who’s surprised!
White is simply elegant. Look at the future Princess of Monaco in this photo shoot for Tatler, looking comfortably chic in white. It reminds me of this other wonderful white outfit worn by Princess Victoria of Sweden here.
It would be easy to copy her look. The silk trousers are surprisingly affordable: only 150 pounds. I think the tricky part for us 'normal' people is: how to keep the white... white?!
She'll be marrying Prince Albert II on 2 July 2011. Her official title will be Her Serene Highness The Princess of Monaco!
http://nnekasaran.blogspot.com/ When my Insomnia strikes in the wee hours of the morning I will get on twitter til I fall back to sleep. Around 3 am Nneka Saran released a few of her new clutches that will be available for purchase at www.nnekasaran.com soon but for now you can go to her blog.
Nneka's bags are "little pieces of art, that you can take with you everywhere" These bags are all individually made by the designer and there are limited qualities.
As I stated in my previous blog, I have tried every weight lost method known to man. It seems like I have never been satisfied with my body, considering I have been on a diet since birth. I think as human being we are never really satisfied, we always want what we don't have. Ironically looking over some of my old pictures I would be content to have my old body back. So I wanted to include these old pictures in this blog, these pictures will serve as my personal motivation to succeed.
I recently went on a diet for 10 days and managed to lose ten pounds. I use the word diet reluctantly but during my ten day journey, I had more energy, felt incredible, my taste palette changed and I became motivated to finish what I started. Now anytime you lose weight quickly, it comes back on quickly. I am using this diet as a catalyst to start my life style change.
Mayo Clinic Diet
The Mayo Clinic diet starts with a two-week phase designed to help you begin seeing results right away, with weight loss of 6 to 10 pounds (2.7 to 4.5 kg). Unlike fad diets that promise rapid weight loss, The Mayo Clinic Diet approach is safe and healthy while building momentum and enthusiasm. It's based on changing habits for a lifetime so that the weight you lose doesn't come back, as it probably has in the past on fad diets.
The Mayo Clinic Diet helps you reshape your body and your lifestyle by adopting healthy habits and breaking unhealthy ones.
12 days on – 2 days off
Breakfast 1/2 Grapefruit or 4 oz. Grapefruit Juice (unsweetened) 2 Eggs (any style) 2 Slices Bacon
Lunch 1/2 Grapefruit or 4 oz. Grapefruit Juice (unsweetened) Meat (any style, any amount) Salad (any kind of dressing)
Dinner 1/2 Grapefruit or 4 oz. Grapefruit Juice (unsweetened) Meat (any style, any amount) (fish may be substituted for meat) Vegetables (any green, yellow, or red vegetables cooked in butter or any seasoning)

Instructions
At any meal you may eat until you are full – until you can’t eat any more.
Don’t eliminate anything from the diet, especially don’t skip bacon at breakfast or omit salads. It is the combination of foods that burn fat.
The grapefruit is important because it acts as a catalyst that starts the burning process.
Cut down on caffeine – it affects the insulin balance that hinders the burning process. Try to limit to 1 cup per meal at mealtime.
Don’t eat between meals. If you eat the combination of food suggested you will not be hungry.
Pilar Sanders MOTIVATION The only reason I didn't do the whole two weeks is because I wanted to enjoy Thanksgiving. I have been off of the diet for 3 days and do not have the same energy I had while on the diet. I am looking forward to starting again tomorrow morning. Above I listed the menu for the diet, I tweeked mine a little, but followed the major rules. I found myself eating boiled eggs for breakfast with two slices of turkey bacon, two boiled eggs for lunch and meat and vegetables for dinner. Something that really helped me was having raw carrots around whenever I felt hungry, I snacked on them. This diet is not for everybody, but it's good for me because it keeps me motivated, the fact that I am able to fit in my old clothes pushes me to go to the gym and wanna eat healthy. I hope you join me on my journey, starting again tomorrow. I will report back with results.
Cast your mind back to Elite Model Look 2009 and you will remember the divine Nyasha who stole our hearts and walked away with first place in the UK final last August...
Following a dream first season of shows back in September (two words...Louis Vuitton) we sent Nyasha over to fashion Mecca, New York City to show the Americans why Elite London girls are truly the best in the business...and clearly they agree! We spotted our girl front and centre at a presentation for Calvin Klein, looking every inch the poster girl for the iconic US brand.
