Lydia by Loulou Loves You: photography by Joshua Spencer, creative direction by Jazzi McGilbert, styling by Jazzi McGilbert & Natalie Toren, hair & makeup by Dina Gregg, modeled by Papa at NEXT, and special thanks to our on-set puppy, Fozz.

I did this mini-lookbook for one of my favorite people in the world, Loulou, while she was here in L.A. I very simply adore Loulou and her new ‘Lydia’ lingerie set. Seriously: a lingerie designing babe, holistic masseuse with a British accent, the kindest spirit and perfect pouty lips… Yeah, I’m still not entirely convinced she’s real but she’s the best dream girl ever. I will never be over having such talented friends.

Lydia will be available on www.louloulovesyou.com this Friday and you can shop the rest of the site at 30% off ’til then! I personally own and love the Lola peter pan collar and floral headbands.

Yard Sale part II: Saturday, January 14, 2012. 10am – 4om. 616 Parkman Ave. @ Bellevue.

Hosted by myself (Jazzi McG), Jayne (stopitrightnow), Alicia (InnyVinny), Natalie (FashionIntel), & Nia (TenderHeaded)

We’re at it again and you should definitely be there. So this Saturday, after your Intelligentsia and before whatever else you’re doing, head over to our encore Silverlake Yard Sale. There were some serious scores last time and we all wanted to do it again with more beer and without the threat of precipitation.

That weekend it rained in usually-sunny-LA and that yard sale was postponed. A year and 1 baby later (not mine, Alicia’s) that yard sale was re-scheduled. You came, you hung out, you shopped, you saved some money while helping us clean our closets and we all lived happily ever after.

Long story short: YARD SALE. TOMORROW. ECHO PARK. YOU COME. YOU BUY. ME HAPPY.

I have some pretty stylish friends with some pretty messy closets, come help us purge. Or at least come say hi. There will be some designer stuff, some not designer stuff, some vintage, a desk I bought that is too big for my studio, some shoes, a baby (not for sale) and general good vibes… and more. Outside of Jayne, Alicia, Natalie, Nia and myself, I have a few other (coughstylistcough) friends dropping off gear and we’re also hosting a BROOK&LYN sample sale (not to be confused with Brooklyn, this yard sale is in L.A.)… Don’t miss this one.

ETA: Our group video!

The Olsenboye video series I took part in this past January came out today! I truly had a great time shooting with Natalie, Caylee, Karla and Olivia and it was fantastic getting to know the girls behind the beloved blogs. I still feel super strange in front of the camera (though I feel right at home behind it) but the whole team and the girls made it all good!

As I’ve said before – and anyone who’s read this blog for a while knows – I’m a serious bargain hunter. Expensive clothes are a luxury and by no means a necessity when it comes to personal style, so I was very happy to support a brand that champions budget-conscious style for a younger audience. Youthful as it is, there are some great pieces that all (well, most) ages could rock. I’ll show you the dress that’s made it into my regular wardrobe rotation soon (Natalie wears it in her video).

Thanks to my alma maters, Teen Vogue and Fashionista, for debuting the videos/Q&A and to my buddies at NYLON for posting the behind-the-scenes video! And FYI – I’ll be doing a little guest blogging on Olsenboye’s site this week. And of course, thank you Olsenboye and everyone who worked on the shoot!

PS – If you were wondering… yes, that’s a staged bedroom – not my own, but play along?

BUT, fear not we’re rescheduling (tentatively for Dec 5th 12th) which will give me more time to collect more cute things I don’t need…I will keep you guys posted!


I haven’t even had time to slap myself on the wrist (hard) for being a “bad blogger” lately, but you can come and abuse me in person this weekend at a YARD SALE, you sadist! Or you know, just come say hi, buy some stuff or just sit with us and chill.

I love Jayne (even more, is that possible!?) for concocting this  yard sale and inviting me and some of my other faves to the the party. Especially, since I have a tendency to buy things that would “look soooo cute on someone!” even if that someone is not me. Which has left me with a lot of stuff I can’t/don’t wear but would look “soooo cute on someone!”. And sometimes, it’s just time to let go of those things and all the other things I’ve been hoarding…

Sorry, guys!

follow me on twitter (@jazzimcg), where I might or might not post peeks of some things I’ll be selling on Saturday! Any questions, contact me or any of these fine ladies…
I haven’t pooled all my things together yet, but you can bet on some fashion mags, shoes, boyfriend’s clothes, my clothes, vintage, etc., but do keep in mind it’s a yard sale – as in stuff on a lawn, not a fancy-pants flea market, but no less fun (and definitely cheaper).

And on a non-lawn related note:

Sometimes IRL gets in the way of your blog.

But if you’ve been reading this blog for a while now, you know that unfortunately a slow-down in posting is quite common when work picks up for me. I’ve been away from the blog for a while, which actually means great things are in the making – promise. And I’m working which I thank my lucky stars for. If you’re a freelancer, you feel me.

That said, I’ve challenged myself to update once-a-week no matter what, rain or shine. More if I can help it, because I love you and this is one of my favorite ways to decompress. Thanks for bearing with me. I don’t know how you every-day bloggers do it – mad respect.
