100 Iconic Vogue Covers

January 09, 2014/ E. Vincent Martinez

It's next to impossible to select my favorite Vogue Magazine cover because they're ALL super-amazing. How could they not be when artists like Dali and famed photogs like Irving Penn and Annie Leibovitz are involved. The Postcards from Vogue: 100 Iconic Covers by Vogue giftbox that I received as a welcome to the Vogue Blogger Network sits proudly on my coffee table for everyone to enjoy. The early years through the 1950's are probably my faves. *Check out some of the covers below... Also, you can get your own giftbox HERE.

Steve Venegas: The Mannequin Man

January 08, 2014/ E. Vincent Martinez

Steve Venegas

from Vancouver dresses like mannequins featured at Gap stores, hence,

The Gap Mannequin Project

Why is he doing this?

Well, that's not entirely certain but the Huffington Post thinks it's "brilliant." I wouldn't go that far. I think it's dumb yet very amusing. Either way, Venegas is no dummy because he's getting quite a bit of attention for merely striking a pose at The Gap.

Vizcaya Splendor

January 06, 2014/ E. Vincent Martinez

On your next visit to Miami, discover the splendor that is the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens. The estate, modeled after an Italian villa, took ten years to build and was home to millionaire James Deering. A bachelor with impeccable taste, Deering lavished Vizcaya with exquisite European antiques. He kept his thirty person staff busy by entertaining guests and hosting elaborate parties. The interior and exterior architecture, including the gardens are absolutely breathtaking. I am not exaggerating and I can't wait to get back to South Florida to re-visit the grandeur that is Vizcaya!

*Enjoy my photo gallery of the property and grounds...

Let's get physical in Printed Pants!

January 05, 2014/ E. Vincent Martinez

Most

of us are on the

'get fit'

train for the new year-- and some of us are rolling our eyes at the

gym newbies

as they try to figure out the squat machine next to us...

Either way, props to the people who are making an effort!

I like to

spice up

my gym attire by finding

printed pants

to go with my simple tops.

It's an easy way to make yourself look more fashionable as you're sweating bullets on the elliptical!
