Olsen Addiction

Photo credit: http://olsensanonymous.blogspot.com


For some time now, I have been hopelessly addicted to http://olsensanonymous.blogspot.com
If you are like me, and you love Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's style, you will LOVE this blog. It features rare, close up photos of MKA style... Sometimes it's hard to believe these budding fashionistas are only in their early twenties. Granted they have grown up in the industry since they were babies, style is something you either have or you don't. The Olsens are pioneers of an eclectic boho style that is all their own. Check out the blog for more, amazing images.

Swedish Got Style

WOW. I love this website. The Swedish really know how to dress and it's so effortless. Every time I peruse http://stockholmstreetstyle.feber.se/?p=9 I find a new way to wear something. I am really feeling scarves, skinny pants, interesting heels, boots, and layers right now. Less is more.

If you don't know this website please check it out. I will warn you it's addicting.

I Love the 90s

I remember admiring these models ever since I was a young girl. They are iconic. Pioneers. These ladies are so beautiful and strong. Today, you can still find them all over the magazines in major campaigns.

Little of This Little of That

Just some random images for you. Love me some cool.

TRAGEDY

RIP Brittany Murphy

I cannot believe that Brittany Murphy died today of a heart attack at age 32. I grew up with Clueless as one of my all time favorite films and loved watching all her movies. She was a great actress. My heart goes out to her family and friends.

RIP Brittany Murphy you will be missed!

Top 12 Fashion Faves

Top 12 random fashion faves right now:

1. STRIPED STUFF drapey or fitted T's, tunics - either way if it's got stripes I pretty much like it

2. TIGHTS Forever 21 and H & M have the best and most inexpensive selection around

3. TUNICS These are great over tights/leggings/skinny jeans

4. DRAPEY SWEATERS The perfect way to jazz up a plain old T and necklace (i.e. DKNY Cozy)

5. FLAT BOOTS They go with everything and look amazingly unexpected with dresses

6. LIL BAGS The kind that go across the body and fit your essentials.... it's a nice break from
finding a place to put your clutch when out

7. RIDING PANTS not tights yet not as thin as leggings.. great with tunics or drapey tops

8. ANKLE BOOTIES Adds some edge to any ensemble especially leggings or dresses

9. COCKTAIL RINGS Look beautiful with a simple nude mani... the more the merrier

10. BELTS An easy way to transform anything from a plain cardigan to an LBD.. period


I would love to know what are some of your faves??

Portfolio Throwback

Photoshoots are a lot of fun ! They are a lot of work and preparation, but when you see the final images you almost forget about all of that. I did this shoot with one of my favorite photographers Andres Razo. I was lucky to be part of a grea team of professionals. Mitzi Druss did hair and makeup, Thanh Ngu assisted me with styling, and Jeff Crooymans assisted Andres Razo with photography. It's also attributed to the fact that the models are so stunning they could wear a paper bag and look good (the image quality isn't quite as good on here but wanted to post).

You will probably recognize Kristen Kassinger and Whitney Oliver since they both work all the time!! I see Kristen Kassinger on the Forever21 website all the time. Also be sure to check out Andres Razo's work here http://andresrazo.com.

Enjoy and feel free to leave any comments!
