Rosebowl Flea Market
January 16th, 2010 26 Comments
flea market fodder; me: target hat, costume dept. sequin leggings, AA shirt, JC potion boots
Last Sunday I wore leggings as pants (stfu) & met up with some fine blogging ladies (Lucrecia, Annabel, Ev’yan, & Taghrid – who ducked out early, so I sadly didn’t get any pics of her & her awesome gold shoes) at [...]

My best friend Leah. She’s a keeper.
She brought me back this super cute ring from her trip to Aruba. It’s on my thumb above, but I’ll have to take a clearer pic soon.

Sinead took me out to a portrait party & birthday drinks last night. The art crowd is always more entertaining than the fashion crowd, and this was no exception. I got to get my muse on and had a portrait painted by the very talented Barnaby Ruhe & met NYC’s version of the Mad Hatter and March Hare (two completely off the wall guys, one of which waxed poetic on my heels for a good 10 minutes, while the other proceeded to stroke said heels with a miniature pair of marble hands he carries with him at all times). When I told the March Hare that I worked in fashion he got very serious suddenly and replied: “We all have our problems.”

March 17th, 2009 18 Comments
This is the final product for the video I worked on for my BFF/Roommate/Rapper Rob Roy. Some of you may remember how hectic this shoot was for me, but so far the response has been super positive – so it was worth it.

On Set With: Shwayze for MTV

[running on 4 hours of sleep, hoping this is intelligible.]
Had to make a point to see my lovely Melis during my LA visit… and if you know Melis, you know that the easiest way to get to her is at work.
So I hopped on board to assist at a video shoot for Shwayze, Skeet, [...]

Candace the Best
March 30th, 2008 4 Comments
She’s popped up many times on here, but here’s the backstory:
I met Candace while interning at Vogue. (I feel like I should note that this was BIG Vogue, not Teen. I love Teen Vogue, so I’m okay with forever being branded as a former ‘Teen Vogue Intern’).
She’s a super talented actress/singer, with a love of [...]

My very best friends since 7th grade, Deanie and Leah.
We have dedicated our summer to “doing things”. We’re in LA, and need to take advantage of that. Last weekend we ventured to the Culver City ArtWalk, stopped by a lot of amazing galleries and decided we are going to buy some canvases and do our [...]
