The 30 year-old ex-Estee Lauder model will be acting in a new movie called ‘Desert Flower’. It is based on the Waris Dirie autobiography of the same name which chronicles her childhood in the Somali desert, her entrance into modeling, and her role as a United Nations spokeswoman against circumcision.

Waris Dirie was born into a nomadic tribe in Somalia and had survived the cruel procedure of genital mutilation at just age five.

The Love List

COCOCOZY Black & Blue: The Love List

Cotton Knit Reversible Throw

Cuddling up with this super thick cotton knit throw blanket is the best in the winter. I'm wrapped in one every night as I curl up reading or in front of the television. Why not lounge in style?

Burberry Ruched Seam Jacket

Love this sleek biker chic jacket...black with zippers and ruching...who could ask for more?

MAC Penultimate Eyeliner in Black

I wear this rich black eyeliner every day. The pen has a great point to it and at night I just draw it on extra thick for a dramatic looking eye.

Chance Co. Classic T-shirt

I'm obsessed with all things striped these days and a classic blue and white striped long sleeve tee is top of my list!

Essie Bobbing for Baubles Nail Polish

Love this dark shade of sapphire blue...sexy and mysterious yet very playful. I must have!

COCOCOZY Fresh Candle

Fresh minty blend aroma in the form of a candle. All natural biodegradable soy wax. Clear recyclable glass. Hand poured in the U.S.
