Vintage Fur Collars

Make beautiful high necked fluffy scarves pinned with big vintage brooches,

or laid out over your jackets.

It's about to get cold so stay warm!

I Missed the Bus.

Totally just missed my bus to Louisville.

I used to be OBSESSED with Kris Kross when I was little.

My Fall Looks Like...

Mixing patterns properly is where it's at.

Stripes and Plaid.

Polka Dots and Argyle.

Wood Grain and Tweed.

Sometimes I have on so many patterns I am like a badass optical illusion.

Or maybe I'm just a Turkel (tiffany+steve urkel--more on this later).

Also super into rocking big ribbons, medieval, military, and hunting gear.  Short skinny trousers, printed socks, and sweater vests.  Basically dressing like a big fat dweeb! 

Lovin' me some fall.

Sneak Peak

A little taste of the shoot I did last week with Brian Boulous.

Was super pleased with how well the clothes looked in the woods.
I heart fall.
Big Time.

An Esoteric Journey

I highly suggest you check out Ill Studio, a french design team (of 10 people) who come together in photography, graphic design, set design, illustration, typography, video, and just about every other thing you can imagine. I love looking through the variations of their work. You can see what each member is bringing to the table, and yet it is never overwhelming and always makes sense. This company is amazing and I am about to hop on a plane and ask them if I can work for them.
For free.

Maria.

And look at how beautiful my model is!  

Super excited and overwhelmed with the amount of work that lay ahead of me tonight.

Wish me luck!

Photoshoot Tears

Just preparing for my shoot tomorrow.  

Thought I would share some of the tears I am looking at for inspiration. 

This should be sexy and gritty.

Excited to shoot on a roof with the Manhattan skyline in the background.  

New Designer: Forrest the Man of Mystery

Not only is Forrest possible the sweetest guy EVER made, but he hand makes the sweetest jewelry.  I love it because it isn't super girly and a lot of it is functional.

For instance, the watch necklace winds and there is a piece inside that rotates.  

The die necklace (which I like to call fittingly the 'Cee-Lo' necklace) opens and you got yourself a nice little way to hustle conveniently hanging around your neck.

Oh, and the harmonica.  

You can just bust out some jams at the party.

This line is from New Orleans, I really can't wait to visit there.

My New Lights

I was sitting in here, in the dark the other day and I thought;

"man, there has got to be a solution to this light problem."

I found one!

Check out how cool these lights look with this pulley.  So perfect.  And so cheap.

Impande Core: What About You?

OH MY GAWD.

Thanks Mawuse for posting this and the fine folks over at AfripopMag.

Johannesburg is producing so many exciting bands lately it’s hard to keep up. Meet Impande Core, a five-piece band blending eclectic soul with mbaqanga and hip hop. Wait till AfriPOP! gets our hands on these boys. Stay tuned…

FloraFauna

FLORAFAUNA is Minneapolis based design/screen printing studio who make some of the best concert posters EVER.
Not only is their design SPOT the frick on, but they make posters for a slew of my favorite bands.
If I were in Minneapolis I would totally be their groupie.
