This fall one of our favorite iconic models sealed the deal on her own love connection, marrying now-wife Shelly Lynch-Sparks in a Las Vegas chapel. Huffine was a vision in white lace, wearing a Christian Siriano-designed corset with sheer pants (Lynch-Sparks chose a killer white Gucci suit with black lapels), and, naturally, the ceremony was officiated by a female Elvis impersonator. Huffine admits that she is a person who loves love: “There is just no greater or more fun feeling,” she says. But while we know who the object of her affection is, we wanted to know some of the other stuff that sets this beloved supermodel’s (and, more recently coffee shop owner; Huffine and her wife own One Trick Pony in Westhampton) heart aflutter.
