The World’s Most Exciting Modeling Contest: Fresh Faces 2013

I’ve always wanted to be a model but I was too short. (I’m only 5’5). So, I tried to get into commercial print modeling but with the traveling back and forth to New York for interviews and castings (while working a full-time job) was just not working out for me. So I settled for graphic design and fashion blogging, and now I can model for my own blog if I’d like!

But for those of you youngsters who have a passion for modeling, I give to you “Fresh Faces 2013″ modeling contest from ModelManagement.com. The press release and information is below.

The World’s Most Exciting Modeling Contest: Fresh Faces 2013

Modelmanagement.com, the fastest growing network in the world for models, photographers, model agencies and industry professionals has teamed up with the best modeling agencies in more than 30 countries and all continents for the launch of the industry’s most exciting international modeling contest: Fresh Faces 2013!

In it’s 4th successful year, thousands of models are now applying with great excitement to Fresh Faces 2013 in order to win an exclusive modeling contract with a top agency in their country and the chance to start a professional model career.

The online contest gives models from all parts of the world the opportunity to showcase their talent to model experts and the industry decision makers who matter.

To apply to Fresh Faces 2013 the only thing needed is a Modelmanagement.com profile with lots of cool fashion photos, great modeling potential and many votes to get the attention of the judges. All model applicants have to do is share their profile link with their social media in order to collect as many votes as possible.

The expert panel of Modelmanagement.com and the collaborating agencies will analyze each model carefully, taking into account the amount of votes received, to see if they make the grade and have what it takes to go to the Grand Finals!

In addition to winning a model contract the winners of the contest will also get amazing international exposure, just like previous winner Daniel Perez, who went on to walk the catwalks of Armani and Prada in New York and Paris, or Jessica, who was chosen by Karl Lagerfeld for the cover of Elle France! Not to mention the signing of an exclusive contract with one of the best model agencies in the world and the opportunity to start a Top Model Career!

Just like this isn’t enough, all local winners will be invited to take part in an exclusive worldwide final, where a panel of judges – including Thomas Zeumer, famous for having developed the careers of Claudia Schiffer, Eva Herzigova and Heidi Klum, will judge their model potential and select 2 worldwide winners (one male and one female model).

The model experts are already on the run to find out who will be the next fashion promise!

Silk Shorts

Silk shorts are like pajama shorts you can wear out. They have the drawstring/elastic waistline and everything. I’ve been seeing them lately, and I’m going to get myself a pair for Memorial Day weekend. What I like about them is that they look extremely comfortable but are still sexy and will look hot with a pair of strappy heels.

I would wear them with a fitted tank or tee, probably tucked in. Pairing with a blouse will only make you look like you’re actually wearing pajamas out! If you do rock silk shorts with a blousey top, be sure it’s fitted and tucked in like the last picture below! So, would you wear this trend?

Watches that Do More than Just Tell Time

Mr. Jones Watches is known for watches that do more than just tell time, they make you think, start a conversation or simply make you smile. They are always coming out with the newest innovative design to add to their collection, and they’ve done just that with the new Sun & Moon and Satellite watches.

46-p6-side-combo

With Sun & Moon, you read the time by looking at the position of the sun or moon on the watch face. The crescent shaped sky on the dial represents 12 hours. The position of the sun indicates the time from 6am to 6pm and the moon the hours from 6pm through to 6am.

sun_moon_satellite_sbs

The Satellite watch is a little different. The outer 24-hour marker orbits the inner minutes. Each hour is marked by a bright colour and these colours follow a regular six hour pattern, so you can learn to read the time intuitively and at a glance.

Both are available at Mr. Jones Watches and are priced £145 (approx US$200 / Euro €180).

Best Dressed

a27091e1-14e4-43da-8e3f-d97c6402b5c0_169074677

Jennifer Lopez looking her usual sexy self in gold.

ariana-grande-billboards-2013

Ariana Grande, my new girl crush, always rocking these little flared dresses and this signature pose, too cute. She went a little darker this time but it’s still cute.

austin-mahone-billboards-2013

Austin Mahone looks young and adorable as he should with some moon boots as his only fashion statement.

chris-brown-blue-carpet-bbma2013-600

Chris Brown, other than looking like a troublemaker with that expression on his face, his outfit is nice and put together. I like the maze print sweater.

emblem3-billboard-awards-2013

Emblem3 looking young and fresh in skinny ties, leather jackets and cool kicks.

jason-derulo-carpet-bbma2013-600

Jason Derulo looks sexy! I like the arms showing, why the hell not when you have arms like that?

kacey-musgravest-blue-carpet-bbma2013-600

Kacey Musgravest chose a beautiful little black lace dress with hot pink pumps and lips for added hotness.

kimberly-perry-billboards-2013

Kimberly Perry looks like a princess, and reminds me of Faith Hill.

psy-billboards-2013

PSY…can’t believe I put him on the best dressed list but this is his signature look: blazers, black slacks and saddle shoes, oh and those round scientist glasses. But I do in fact like this blazer, and don’t mind the splash of pink at the cuffs either.

roshan-fagan-blue-carpet-bbma2013-600

Roshan Fagan is quite possibly the best dressed. I love this blazer and it looks nice paired with a fresh white tee, nice watch and light jeans.

TaylorSwift-jpg_000123

Taylor Swift can really do no wrong, she always looks sexy and classy, even when she goes for a little edge.

Worst Dressed

audrina-patridge-billboards-2013

Audrina Patridge…it’s just the leather skirt I don’t like. Everything else would have been fine! It’s kind of tacky.

carly-rae-jepsen-billboards-2013

Carly Rae Jepsen trying to look bad ass as opposed to her usual sweet innocent looks? Not working.

chloe-mortez-billboards-2013

Chloe Mortez…too mismatchy!

hayden-panettiere-billboards-2013

Hayden Panettiere, such a young, gorgeous girl, but here she looks too much like a mom. The dress and lack of makeup makes her look older when she should be rocking some color and sex appeal.

jennifer-morrison-billboards-2013

Jennifer Morrison is showing too much underneath that dress. It could have worked if it wasn’t as sheer.

jenny-mccarthy-billboards-2013

Jenny McCarthy…well you haven’t aged a bit but this is not the 90′s anymore! This look is just plain trashy!

kesha-blue-carpet-bbma2013-600

Kesha…blahhh. No makeup, hair slicked back and then a crazy high slit. Obviously she isn’t wearing panties. Right? Way too much.

miley-cyrus-blue-carpet-bbma2013-600

Miley Cyrus, this outfit is straight out of Alice & Wonderland. Your hair is punk enough, you don’t need to overdo it with crazy ensembles. A nice gown paired with punky hair and red lips would do just fine.

nayer-billboard-awards-2013

Nayer..someone’s trying to make a statement. Not digging it. Way too much cleavage. And why the dog?

selena-gomez-billboards-2013

Selena Gomez..I really debated on this one. I hate to put her under Worst Dressed because she looks beautiful but the neon “pool noodle” thingys are what killed this otherwise chic dress.

wiz-khalifa-amber-rose-billboards-2013

Wiz Khalifa & Amber Rose…too much leather on him and too much fabric on her, making her look even bigger than she is. I think pregnant women should wear fitted dresses. It’s classy and shows off the belly.

z-lala-blue-carpet-bbma2013-600

Z Lala, the next Lady Gaga? Yuck. No one wants to see all that! And who wrapped her shoes like a present?

A Night at the Casino

Tonight we will be going to Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut, so of course we will be dressing up a bit for the occasion. I brought along a neon peplum top paired with leather leggings, gold strappy heels and a studded clutch. I think that should do the trick. What do you think?

Mini Golf & a Movie

So I’m visiting one of my best friends who I met in college this weekend in Connecticut. The weather says 70′s during the day and late 50′s at night, which totally confuses me on what to pack!

Saturday, (today), she’s working :( but she is lending me her boyfriend for the day  LOL. So we are going to go mini golfing and see The Great Gatsby, which I’m super late to seeing! Here’s the outfit I chose for this fun outing today:

chevrontop

Top: Charlotte Russe, Jeans: (my cousin gave them to me) Cover up: Charlotte Russe, Bracelet: The85StylePeople Flats: Aldo

It’s in the early 70′s today, so I went for a sleeveless chevron peplum top, but I know I get chilly easily, and especially in a movie theater, so I paired it with jeans, flats and of course I brought a cover up in case I get extra chilly. What do you think?

I’ll share my Saturday night outfit with ya’s later! Stay tuned!

The Look for Less: Diane Kruger

This is such a classy yet sexy look! I really need to get myself a few pairs of harem pants. They are perfect for work or even a night out, with a pair of strappy heels and a crop top like Diane wears here.

Men: Should You Roll Up Your Pants?

More and more celebrities, models, and men everywhere are being spotted with rolled up jeans, khakis and chinos. I know I like to roll up my jeans lately to show the cute sandals or flats I’m wearing for Spring, but is this something the average guy would do?

Chris Pine rolls up his pants for Men’s Health magazine.

Guys on the streets roll up their pants on the go.
