Alek Wek is a true iconic supermodel; check out what OnSugar blogger Blake Von D: The First Lady of Fashion has to say about her striking story and style.

You may not know her name, but you definitely know her face. Name a runway, she's been on it. Name a designer, she's worn it. Who is this I'm talking about? None other than the Sudanese British force that is Alek Wek.

She first appeared on the catwalks in 1995 after she fled the Sudanese civil war and has been making headlines ever since. What I love about Alek is that she is sort of the unofficial poster child for what it means to be a dark-skinned beauty. Seriously, I don't know too many "redbones" who would DARE step to her. Furthermore, I don't know many who could grab the attention of the caliber of high end designers that she has. Whenever I see pictures of her I honestly get a little choked up. I can imagine that coming from Sudan she has an amazing story to tell and seeing the fame she's been able to accomplish is both humbling & inspiring. Even before I knew her name, I loved her.

Summer Shopping: The Best White Jeans

You don't need to wait until Memorial Day to bring out the white jeans, but waiting for the first warm day does make white jeans feel extra special.

You don't need to wait until Memorial Day to bring out the white jeans, but waiting for the first warm day does make white jeans feel extra special. White jeans can be a harrowing experience — too tight, too stretchy, too thin, or even too white can make your body look less than stellar. Here are a few of our favorites, and here are some shopping tips when buying them for yourself.

  • Fit: Unless you are rail thin, avoid white jeans that are too tight. They can highlight all those things you don't like to show through your jeans, like cellulite. Anyway, it's Summer, you don't want your denim sticking to you.
  • Fabric: For the same reasons as above, watch the fabric. We prefer a sturdier denim, as we also would prefer not to show the world our panty lines.
  • Color: Obviously, we're talking white. But off-white, dirty white, or cream can be great shades that don't show every speck of dirt or grime you inevitably come into contact with.
  • Trends: The ankle crop is the way to go, it's ideal for showing off summer shoes, and it's super flattering.
  • Fab Favorites: Madewell offers a huge selection of silhouettes, but their skinny skinny ankle ($115) is our favorite for its low-rise and perfect crop, and guess what? The boyfriend is back, and we love the cool version from Current/Elliot ($170) which is just perfectly slouchy for lazy Summer days.

    When we spotted Mandy Moore stepping out in Spring brights and easy chic trousers, we knew this was a look we'd want to add to our own repertoire. We love how her peachy-bright top pops against her crisp, white Phillip Lim jacket ($650) and slim black bottoms ($60) — plus the proportional play of the cropped blazer and longer blouse. Just click the items above to shop a similarly effortlessly elegant style.
