From Russia: With Love!


Model, Mother, Wife and Inspiration. This remarkable 26 year old supermodel hails from Russia. Struggling through tough times for most of her childhood, Natalia and her family used to sell fruit as the family income. Natalia Vodianova is as strong as she is beautiful. The word that comes to mind when describing her attributes? Ethereal. She was my first (model) girl crush. With those baby blues and beautiful bronze glow, she's a doll come to life straight out of a storybook.

Nice collage! Shes beautiful and I love her style.

RASPBERRY said...

Natalia is absolutely stunning - and can you believe she is a mother?
She's such a great example of strenght. I adore her, one of my favorite models!

btw, that collage is wonderful :)

There is a certain sadness that is in her eyes---I suppose coming from the background she endured it affects how you see things.

Susanna-Cole said...

Oh I've always thought Natalia was gorgeous! I remember when, I think it was Vogue, put her on the cover and then did a cover story ( at least I think so, it's all a bit fuzzy now haha) and that is when I first learned of her, and I loved reading the article about her, thought she was really lovely inside and out! :)

And as always, your collages are beautiful! :)

Well then... TRIPLE YAY for shared taste! haha. Sorry couldn't help going for the triple after the double yay haha. :P

Aw now I want to see what your hair looked like at your wedding, bet it was beautiful! :)

Well it was fun a lot of times, though she was always rather rough in doing my hair... I suppose she didn't care about being gentle, I was her little sister after all! But she was great to have for proms and special events and even when I just wanted to have the most killer hairstyle at school haha.

Aw, have fun shopping, hope you find the things you need and want! :)

Take care!

She's so absolutely gorgeous. So many models in the industry nowadays can not even compare.

STELLASTEFF said...

My last statement was true as it was amazing. I've tagged you my dear, you may tag Stella on Fashion Chalet if you do feel so inclined.

PS. I had no idea she was a mother!

FABIO who ? said...

I love your collage. I'm a big fan of making collages i have several in my room. My next thing is to create them on my pc, however I suck at photoshop 7.0 and i have some weird open office draw program and paint which suck as well. How did you do yours?

P.S. Kawaii means cute!

ivoreece said...

rachel said...

I loved reading about her life. I really got into her a couple years ago when I was researching the CK models. I was so curious about her age because she always looked like a 14 year old, then I found out she was already in her twenties and had a kid. She is such a warrior.

Why are all Northern European-type people so gorgeous?
I will admit that I didn't know about her until now, and feel like a weenie.

Anjeanette said...

Wow, she is gorgeous. And sounds like she has a pretty stable life for being in the fashion industry!

goldieoldiecharms said...

she is soooooo beautiful, and takes the most breath taking photos! love the collage!!

Eelie said...

She is one definately beautiful woman. Its very touching to hear anyone who has risen from such hardships and adversity to triumph in the way that she has.

I've never heard of her before but she is definately worth the note. It would be interesting to see a backstory of her... infact i thinnk i'll google her after this :)

You must do this v-log of yourself lol. It would be sooooo adorable!

Siska said...

I love your 2.55,it´s the cutest bag I´ve ever seen!your blog is nice!!

Cate said...

She's like an elf. She is on top of things, her beauty is so pure and radiant. She shines. The lighting in all the pictures you used for the collage is wonderful.

LOL I would be very willing to send you some of our cold weather if you sent me some of Miami's heat and sun...

And ok, we'll both work on our posture and I'll watch SABRINA! (Somehow the name always makes me think of that series with the girl witch, do you know it?)

There are films which make me cry every time I see them, no matter how many times I've already seen them. Songs too. I often cry for songs.

Have a nice Sunday!
Hugs & Love
Cate

I somehow did some editing and accidentally removed the "sharemy profile" tag... thanks for letting me know.. you are such an angel!

Susanna-Cole said...

Oh yay, wedding pictures! And you look gorrrreeegous! And your hair stylist did a wonderful job on your hair, it is stunning! Thanks for sharing the pictures, now my curiousity has been satisfied! :D

Aw, well sadly, my sister isn't really interested in fashion, and therefore there's not much I want to raid her closet for AND now that we're older, I've ended up way taller than her, so I couldn't even fit in half her clothes! :P However, when we were little, I used to love to get to wear her clothes :)

And so glad to hear you had a lovely time shopping! And how was the keylime pie? I have never had keylime pie actually... only keylime pie yougurt, which is quite good! :D

Hope you're Monday is going ok... for a Monday anyway... I hate Mondays! hehe :P
