The Angels Have Landed

As you all may know, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is the biggest event of the season for me. I mean what can I say, my last name IS Angel! Throughout my years of modeling, I have always dreamed of earning my wings. Until then, a girl can always daydream, can’t she…?

This year marked the most expensive show in history, from the grandest wings of all to the most fabulous fantasy bra. The first phase featured global influences modeled by VS veterans like Alessandra and Adriana. Each sensational ensemble captured cultural trimmings from tassels to pom moms and more. The show was separated by a closer look at each of these backstage beauties. The next act gave a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘going Dutch,’ from girls rocking everything from lace to lederhosen.

Then came my favorite part… PINK! Bruno Mars hit the stage and brought out each of the babes. Some  angels were covered in blush bows. Others made us fall for fur, layered over sporty chic pieces that popped on the shimmering stage.

Later on, Lady Gaga emerged with the ladies in lingerie. The voluminous wings took flight down the runway as the largest pair thus far. Bella Hadid also made her debut, joining the ranks of other icons like her sister, Gigi. The dark angels worked their walk in everything from leather to latex, giving the viewers a very sexy sneak peek. The act closed with Kendall and friends strutting their stuff in high necklines and haute capes.

The finale featured glorious goddesses showing us that all that glitters is gold. Each model was covered in crystals, making them all individually gorgeous gems. The show closed with the Victoria’s Secret signature walkout, amongst a star- studded audience. Seriously, what could be more of a perfect setting than in Paris? I can’t wait to see what next year has in store!

Christmas with the Angels

Once a year, each of the Angels ‘fly’ in from all over to gather at our family home on the lake. It is the best time of the year because not only do I receive presents, but most importantly I get their presence!

Speaking of presents, here’s a peek of our stock pile before all of the unwrapping madness began.

I have been blessed with so many great gifts this year. Santa has stopped by some of my favorite stores, from Victoria’s Secret and to Lilly Pulitzer to Jack Rogers and more.

My top present picks are: Rose Gold Iphone 6s, Lilly Pulitzer Vest, Jack Rogers Sparkle Sandals,  Tone It Up Bundle, and my Victoria’s Secret Silk Pajamas.

Aside from all the goodies, the biggest treat is truly spending time with friends and family. Not only do we get to gather here at home, but we will also be traveling to Miami for New Years! Stay tuned for our next trip…
