Challenge... Achy Breaky Heart

I'm pretty sure that none of you followers are major Billy Ray Cyrus fans (I'm definitely not!),so have no fear, because this weeks Challenge is not about the one-hit wonder, but simply takes the title from the song. I doubt Natasha Poly relaxes backstage listening to the country crooner and his daughter sing duets. No relation to the horrible song, let's get that straight.

Last weeks Challenge winner: Vlada Roslyakova :)
Eliminated from the last post: Hye Park :(

Vlada Roslyakova - Shadowed in Sorrow
Erin Heatherton - Grief Stricken 
Chanel Iman - Iced Over Heart
Natasha Poly - These Aren't Tears of Joy
Abbey Lee Kershaw - Nauseous Longing
Maryna Linchuk - Praying for a Miracle
Bette Franke - There Won't be Trumpets

Who will be eliminated? Who will move on to the next round? Who knows! DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!

Headlines

Ever wonder what models eat during Thanksgiving dinner while all the rest of us gorge on savory food? The New York Magazine blog "The Cut" gave us an answer, and it's not all what you'd expect:

"We asked several models if they overindulge for the holiday and whether they had any cooking tips for us. Check out who likes tacos, who hates eggnog, and who indulges in raspberry-tofu pie after the jump.

KARLIE KLOSS
• Favorite Thanksgiving food: My uncle's mash potatoes with a secret ingredient.
• Do you overindulge on the holiday? But of course. That is why Thanksgiving is the way it is in our family. I enjoy being home, the huge dinner, and the long nap afterwards.

ALI STEPHENS
• Favorite Thanksgiving food: Stuffing, but it has to be Stove Top. I don't like all the fancy kinds with nuts and raisins. My mom is the one to make the stuffing, and it only takes three minutes. All you do is follow the box!
• Do you overindulge on the holiday? Of course! I'm only 17! I don't worry about that, and shouldn’t at my age, as long as I'm healthy and active. I love exercising and playing sports. So it's easy for me to have fun and work out. I like to swim at a gym or do yoga.

CHANEL IMAN
• Cooking tips: I'm learning. But I don't know how to cook Thanksgiving food yet. I know how to cook spaghetti Bolognese, pizza, and tacos — stuff that everybody knows how to cook.
• Are you afraid of overindulging? Oh, no, not me! Because I love to eat. Actually Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I love the ham, the turkey, the macaroni and cheese. We do it really big at my house – even the dessert is amazing. My mom makes the best banana pudding. The best.

LINDSAY ELLINGSON
• Favorite Thanksgiving food: My mom’s pumpkin pie with lots of whipped cream.
• Do you overindulge on the holiday? Eating well and being active is just part of my daily routine, so it’s no different for me during the holidays or non-holidays.

LIYA KEBEDE
• Cooking tips: I'm not a good cook. I don't cook a lot. But I like food, so it's kind of a weird thing. See, I don't do eggnog.
• Do you overindulge on the holiday? Not really. I don't treat it any differently.

HANA SOUKUPOVA
• Cooking tips: I cook somewhat, but I would not want to screw up Thanksgiving dinner.
• Do you overindulge on the holiday? Everybody should eat too much! You're with family and friends, you should go a little bit overboard. Just go to the gym!

ALI MICHAEL
• Favorite Thanksgiving food: I'm vegan, so I won't be partaking in the turkey, casseroles, and pie like the rest of my family. I will probably just have a simple meal of steamed greens, beans, avocado, and maybe even a little piece of raw dark chocolate.
• Do you overindulge on the holiday? Thanksgiving for me is more of a time to see my family rather than a time to look forward to eating a huge meal, but maybe once I come back to New York, I'll have a little bit of raspberry-tofu pie from Souen in celebration. It's my favorite dessert when I do have one."

And there you go. Controversial eating habits? Completely normal? What are your opinions?

Put Together






Chanel Iman, 19 - Appeared in Italian Vogue's "All Black" Issue, photographed by Patrick Demarchelier alongside model's Karlie Kloss and Ali Michael, featured on the cover of Vogue as one of the world's next supermodels and current muse for Phillip Lim.

Best known for her Cover Girl smile and fashion legend name, Chanel is also becoming known for her immaculate sense of style. We've found some of our favourite looks of hers and reflected on them.

1.) Matchy-matchy never looked so good! Her voluminous white blouse is paired perfectly with an olive green vest and hat set and flat boots - every models must-have item.

2.) Chanel wore this custom designed Phillip Lim dress to the 2008 Costume Institute Gala and sent shock waves. Many sources have named her the "Best Dressed" of the night! The theme was super heroes, which Chanel played on humorously and chicly with a large belt with an embossed "C". 

3.) A cape may be on our wish list, but Chanel already has a great one which she pairs with a vertically striped shirt to elongate her already tall body and her signature skinny jeans and flat boots. Much like the first look, Chanel matches all her pieces in a way that's less forced and more elegant.

4.) This grey shift dress goes so nicely with her golden skin tone and Chanel adds that extra something with a long, bold, layered necklace to make it more interesting. But lets face it - with Chanel, it's never boring to begin with!

5.) Believe it or not, this is her casual look. Maintaining her fairly monochromatic look, Chanel puts together her black, silk tie-neck blouse with a simple black cardigan and (what else?) skinny jeans and flat boots. This look is so dynamic with her mixing of matte and shine, that we forget that she's really only wearing two colours.
