She might be the most jaw-droppingly gorgeous — and certainly most successful — supermodel of all time, and once we started looking at Gisele Bundchen's editorial career, our wonder and respect for the model/mum/activist/designer/sexy Brazilian only grew. The 32-year-old was discovered at age 13 in a Brazilian shopping mall and went on to become the world's richest supermodel after countless editorials, ad campaigns, and a lucrative stint as a Victoria's Secret Angel. If we thought we might tire of her insanely long, lean body and sun-kissed features, we were wrong. Gisele became a mum in 2010, and thanks to some tummy-covering shoots of late may potentially is pregant again with her second child to hubby Tom Brady. In honour of her being the only model on Forbes magazine's list of 100 of "The World's Most Powerful Women" (for the second consecutive year no less), we put together a serious collection of some her most memorable editorials, beginning with her early days.

Oscar de la Renta Resort 2014
In December, the delivery of Oscar de la Renta's Resort 2014 collection will remind shoppers of the beauty of Spring. The offering, presented Tuesday to small groups of editors in de la Renta's New York showroom, was covered in flowers of all kinds: violet blooms were attached to an acid green evening gown, while red bursts of flora adorned a sleeveless houndstooth peplum top, a half-sleeved cardigan, and an A-line dress. That shape and others, like a balloon skirt in rose petal pink, the Watteau back on a strapless cocktail dress, and the many dresses with bateau necklines, recalled the spirit of '50s couture. But the buoyant colour palette and the optimism were decidedly modern. A look at the collection, here in the gallery. Photo courtesy of Oscar de la Renta
Razzle-Dazzle! See Sydney's Finest Frock Up for The Great Gatsby
It may have been raining last night at Sydney, but that didn't put a dampener on the glamour on show at Moore Park's Entertainment Quarter for the much anticipated premiere of The Great Gatsby. The official invitation asked "a hint of 1920s" from the A-list guest list, and deliver they did — some getting more into the theme than others. Leading ladies Carey Mulligan and Elizabeth Debicki took a more relaxed approach to the dress code, donning a Nina Ricci bustier and Lanvin trousers, and full-skirted floral Christian Dior respectively. Others, like Emma Freedman, Kerri-Anne Kennerley and Deborah Hutton, got right into character in flapper-esque dresses with plenty of sparkle.
The middle of the road approach looked the chicest to us; best exemplified by Laura Dundovic, Delta Goodrem, Kate Peck, Alice Burdeu and Jesinta Campbell who added who paid subtle tributes to the era via headpieces, antique lace, deco shapes or metallic fabrications. Good work, girls! This is one red carpet round-up you don't want to miss — step inside to zoom in on all the razzle-dazzle!

1st Look at Gasparre Cashmere's Stunning S/S Line-Up
It's safe to say that Rebecca McGeoch is a touch obsessed with cashmere. The Sydney-born, Hong Kong-based designer launch her luxury knitwear label — Gasparre Cashmere — back in August of 2010. Since then she's set up a desk in her local production factory and spends her days developing ingenious new techniques and refining her vision for everyday luxury.
Rebecca's enthusiasm for quality knits is infectious, and upon seeing her most recent S/S '13-'14 collection (which, btw has been snapped up by Neiman Marcus), we caught the cashmere bug, too. From yarn ratios on labels to the best regions to buy from, she's a true expert. Step inside to a) drool over the latest line-up — which will drop into select boutiques and online come July/August — and b) get schooled in the mystic arts of this luxurious yarn. Your cashmere education starts here. . .
Thumbs Up!
The mornings are getting colder and colder, but don't let that keep you from your morning run. Long-sleeved tops or hoodies that extend over the hands and thumbs will help keep you toasty and warm. Here's 10 we like and think you might, too.

Editors' Picks: Cashmere to Keep
Our love affair with cashmere has stepped up a notch, especially as we now know the brands who do it best, and took a 101 in cashmere care. To keep in line with this week's luxurious knitwear theme, I asked our editorial team (thanks ladies!) to nominate their top two, must-have cashmere picks from the season. You might think that given the heftier price tag, that the POPSUGAR crew stuck to safe colours and classic shapes. Well, you'd be wrong! Heart-motif crews, too-cute-to-cover-up socks, bright-as beanies and luxed-up loungewear; the results were anything but boring. Le-go!
