Model Monday : Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Sexy English model, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is one of the most known supermodels of today. Not only is she a model but an actress - starring in the Transformers series. According to models.com she is listed under The Money Girls and Top Sexiest Models.

She began in the industry when she joined an internship in London. She came back the following year to visit the company when a new agent was working and asked her if she was interested in modeling. Her first job was a Levi's ad.

Before starring in various high fashion shows and magazines, Huntington-Whiteley shot for Tommy Hilfiger and Teen Vogue. When she turned eighteen she started working for the enormous lingerie company Victoria's Secret.

Huntington-Whiteley is most famous for her runway modeling and being a Victoria's Secret Angel. Also, being apart of the Transformers series got her name out even more.

I love a lot of things about Rosie but I'm going to be very blunt and say she is the sexiest model in the world. Even when she is not trying to be stunning she is. I also believe that she has a gorgeous sense of style. It is very similar to mine which is why I am attracted to it.

Model Monday : Coco Rocha

Coco Rocha, born Mikhaila Rocha, is a canadian fashion model. She is currently signed to Wilhelmina Models. She was discovered at an Irish Dancing competition when she was approached by an agent named Charles Stuart. Her mother kept rejecting the offer until she caved in. When Rocha started, she said she had no knowledge of fashion or designers and had asked her friends to help her out. 


In 2007, she was featured alongside of Chanel Iman, Doutzen Kroes, Agyness Deyn and others as the new generation of supermodels. She has been featured for several campaigns including: Versace, Lanvin, YSL, Dolce and Gabbana, Calvin Klein, Rimmel and Zac Posen.

In an interview with Zac Posen during this years New York Fashion Week, Posen made a comment on Rocha. He commented saying the two were extremely close friends and Rocha has worked for everything she has received.

My favorite thing about Rocha is definitely her poses. She knows how to pose. In my opinion, she is one of the best models because of her body language. She can create different facial expressions and moves her body. She knows what modeling is. I also adore her voice on body positivity and eating disorders. She has been told in her career that she need to loose weight because of the anorexia trend. I love how she opposes it and is working to help people in those situations. She also has campaigns for photo-shop free works and help human trafficking. I think these works she does goes to show that she is not just a pretty face in your magazine and she is a real person who cares about real issues.

"Every sweet, humble young model is only one campaign away from becoming a fashion monster." - Coco Rocha

(Iconic) Model Monday : Tyra Banks

I know all of you know who the gorgeous Tyra Banks is: the queen of modeling, talk show host, the legendary Victoria's Secret Angel, the actress of everyone's favorite movie Life Size and the host of America's Next Top Model. From supermodel on the catwalk to A-List celebrity, this is Tyra Banks. 

Growing up Tyra says she was very self conscious. In one interview she talks about how skinny and tall she was growing up and if people told her she was skinny she would cry in her room. When she first started modeling in the 90's she says she doesn't think she was any good but she booked over twenty-five modeling jobs within a week. She was a threat to many other models including fellow supermodel, Naomi Campbell. There seemed to be a run in where Naomi wanted to kick her out of the business, so Tyra would not steal her spotlight. 

When she began to get noticed, she branched out into TV. One of her first television jobs was for the famous show Fresh Prince of Bel-Air where she played Will's girlfriend, Jackie. 

By late 90's, Tyra was everywhere. She was the first African-American women to model for Victoria's Secret, Sports Illustrated and GQ magazines. She also released a book around this time about her thoughts on self-esteem and makeup tips. 

In early 2000's, she walked her first ever Victoria's Secret fashion show, launched the first episode of the hit reality show, America's Next Top Model, and also launched her talk show The Tyra Banks Show. 

In 2007, Tyra was criticized for gaining weight. She took out onto the media and said "I Still Feel Hot" and remained positive about her weight telling critics on her talk show to "Kiss My Fat Ass!" 

In 2010, She decided to cancel her talk show by saying "Sometime you've got to leave when your on top." 

Now, She still hosts America's Next Top Model on Monday Nights on the CW and is an A-List Celebrity. 

Tyra Banks is an inspiration to many - including myself. She teaches girls and women today that they are fierce and beautiful no matter what their size. She is a big body positive advocate and a fashion icon.  

"Self-love has very little to do with how you feel about your outer self. It's about accepting all of yourself." -Tyra Banks

Model Monday: Karlie Kloss

Karlie Kloss is an American Fashion Supermodel, Top Model and Victoria's Secret Angel and was also a Teen Vogue It Girl. Kloss was discovered at a local benefit runway show. She has been modeling since she was a young girl.  She credits ballet in helping her rock the runway.

One of her first modeling debuts were in Abercrombie Kids. A couple of years into her modeling she was put into a legal predicament with two modeling agencies: ELITE and NEXT. Kloss is now with IMG Models. She has modeled for several names including but not limited to: Victoria's Secret, YSL, Topshop, Dior, Hermes, Oscar de la Renta, Gucci, Karl Lagerfeld, Givenchy, Alexander McQueen and Valentino. She has also been featured in several magazines: i-D, Elle, Vogue, Allure, W, Vanity Fair and most known, Teen Vogue.

Her best trait is her runway walk. It is often described as one of the most powerful and unique walks in runway modeling.



She is good friends with fellow model, Cara Delevingne and America's Sweetheart Taylor Swift.

Kloss is criticized a lot for her weight. Many say that she is too skinny and underweight for her 6'1 height. Sources say Kloss does not have an eating disorder but a very high metabolism which makes it hard for her to put on weight.

My favorite thing about Karlie Kloss is her personality. She definitely puts down rumors about models not having personalities. She has such a fun loving and playful personality and it is really hard not to love her. If you watch interviews with her or go on her instagram you can see all of her social and playful side off of the runway.

"Doors opened for me and I ran for it." - Karlie Kloss 

Model Monday : Robyn Lawley

As you may know, Robyn Lawley is a famous 6'2 Australian Model - one of my favorites. Lawley is currently signed to Wilhelmina Models New York, as well as others. She is famous for being a plus sized model - which I do not know how she is considered plus sized. Her first shoot was for Dolly Magazine in 2006 and since then modeled for bigger magazines such as Vogue Italia.

Robyn Lawley has modeled for several brands and designers such as: Marie Claire, Vanity Fair Italy, Glamour America, Cosmopolitan Australia, H&M, Lane Bryant, Ralph Lauren, and Marina Rinaldi.

She has her own swimwear line with Bond-Eye Swimwear for curvy women. The designs very and are extremely flattering.

She has also played photographer when she is not modeling. She has photographed Tara Lynn for Galore Magazine.

Lawley is also a blogger. Her blog "Robyn Lawley Eats" is her very successful food blog. She blogs about different foods she eats and enjoys but be aware that her blog will make you hungry. In addition to blogging, she has written for The Daily Beast twice. Her first article was addressing the media's response to Lady Gaga's weight gain. The second article was addressing the thigh gap trend saying "No Thigh Gap, No Problem."

My favorite thing about Robyn Lawley is her confidence and positivity. She isn't the skinniest model and she knows that but she embraces her healthy figure. She has an amazing body which is deemed as plus sized but she does not take that in a bad way but she embraces it. She is an amazing role model for young and elderly women.

"I would rather be an advocate for health for your natural size than be starving and pretending to be someone I am not." - Robyn Lawley 

Model Monday : Vlada Roslyakova

Vlada Roslyakova (Born as Elena Rosenkova) is a Russian fashion model. She started her career in Russia and moved on into Tokyo, Japan. When she moved to New York City she walked for several high name designers such as: Karl Lagerfield, Moschino, Hermès, Dolce & Gabbana, Miu Miu and Saint Laurent. Her trademark, if you will, are her doll like features including her big bright blue eyes and her distinctive runway walk. Vlada has walked in numerous runway shows and has appeared in various high fashion magazines such as: Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, and i-D. She is signed to Women Management.

In my opinion, Vlada's biggest strength is runway. I've seen some shows where she walks and she owns the runways. When you watch her on the runway, you can tell she knows what she is doing and she is not holding back. She is confident. She is bodacious. She is everything high fashion is.  
Another thing I love about her is her honesty, sense of humor and fun loving personality. If you've seen any interviews with her she is breath taking. Not only is she stunningly beautiful but her personality makes you fall in love. 

"I like to walk and feel the music and feel the clothes and feel my hips" - Vlada Roslyakova

Model Monday : Miranda Kerr

If you know me at all, you must know that my favorite model of all time would definitely have to be the breathtaking, Miranda Kerr. Ever since I started getting into models and designers and fashion, Miranda caught my eye and I've been in love with her ever since. She has this appeal on people that just makes you fall in love with her. It good be her dimples or her gorgeous blue eyes or her stunning physique. 

Miranda was founded in 1997 at the Dolly Magazine Model Search at 13 years of age. Upon her winning, it caused a huge controversy of putting young girls into the fashion and modeling industry. She is currently signed to IMG Models. She has modeled for vast major brands including but not limited to: Prada, Balenciaga, H&M, L.A.M.B., Mango, Swarvoski, Levi's, Stella McCartney, Dior, Lanvin, Chanel, Neiman Marcus, Clinique, 7 For All Mankind, and of course everybody knows she is one of the most famous Victoria's Secret models. 

She signed to Victoria's Secret back in 2007 and became the first ever Australian Victoria's Secret Angel. It was said that she replaced Gisele Bündchen. Being with Victoria's Secret skyrocketed her career. She became the face of Clinique, KORA Organics and Swarvoski. 

She began dating Orlando Bloom and married him in 2010. She also released a book Treasure Yourself.

In 2011, She gave birth to her and Orlando Blooms child, Flynn Bloom. She also got the honor to wear the Fantasy Bra and the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. 

In 2013, She left Victoria's Secret. She also was named No. 2 on Forbes: Highest Paid Models. Miranda and Orlando also split this year.

Early this year, she released a single with Bobby Fox in a cover of Elvis Presley's You're The Boss. Just when we thought she couldn't get better than she already was! 

If there is one thing that I love about Miranda the most, it is her style. She honestly never fails me with her outfit choices. Every single outfit I've seen her in, I would wear. If you read my Style Inspirations post I talked about how Miranda is one of the people I take inspiration from. She always looks so put together and effortlessly gorgeous and I absolutely love it. Even after she's had Flynn, she has not stopped looking amazing. 

Not only is Miranda my favorite model and one of my numerous style inspirations but she is also one of my life inspirations as well. When she first started out people told her she was too young. Today people say she is too skinny or too scandalous. I admire how she doesn't look at what people say about her and goes on with what she loves. Miranda is the woman who encouraged me to believe I can do anything I set my mind to and also, to love myself. She is one of the greatest role models a young girl, like myself, can have.

“A rose can never be a sunflower, and a sunflower can never be a rose.All flowers are beautiful in their own way, and that’s like women too. I want to encourage women to embrace their own uniqueness.”  - Miranda Kerr
