CHLOE CHLOE CHLOE

I have always admired her quirky, indie, yet totally original style. She may not always get it right but who does? Never a slave to fashion or trends, Chloe is eternally chic.

School of Style

About a year ago I saw some ads for the School of Style on CraigsList. I kept thinking about it and then finally decided to take the class in December. I really had no idea what I was in for. Celebrity stylist, Luke Storey not only teaches the class but offers true insider information about the world of styling. Styling is a vast and growing field so it's not always easy to get an inside view.

Even though I had done some styling gigs on my own, I still learned a lot of useful tips and it helped give me more confidence on a job. I highly recommend Luke's class if you're even a little bit curious about styling. Once you take the SOS class, you get special invites to exclusive fashion events, premieres, sample sales, and other networking events. This emailing list is exclusive to the class and is a cool perk. In addition, you get a notebook with all the information he covers in class. It's a great resource to have handy on a job.

Another great thing I got out of the class, was an opportunity to assist Luke Storey on an editorial featuring Kendra Wilkinson. That was such an amazing experience and the clothes were beautiful. Luke is a great mentor and I really gained valuable hands on experience. There is no class like it.

I have posted some pictures below from the shoot we did. Feel free to check out his website at http://www.theschoolofstyle.com.


ENJOY!!!!

Looking Back: Editorial

"CLOSE TO YOU"

I was looking through some editorial photos that Jeanelle Cuthbert and I styled for a beauty shoot a few months back. We worked with Paige Craig and she took some of the most beautiful shots ever. It's not difficult when you are working with Ashley Wood, an absolutely stunning model and delight to work with. I realize how much I enjoy working on editorials and putting looks together. There's just something about the experience I cannot put into words kind of like when you hear your favorite song.

The makeup was brilliant. Daniele Piersons did all the looks. Check out her website http://www.danielepiersonsbeauty.com

You can see more of Paige Craig's work on her amazing website http://paigecraigphotography.com. You will be amazed at what you find.

Hope you enjoy!

Crushing Velvet

I am totally crushing on this purple crushed velvet blazer I found thrifting at Crossroads. I have never really been a fan of crushed velvet, until I found this piece by BCBG (with
original tags attached and all). Throw this on with jeans and a t shirt or over an LBD and you are complete. I rocked it with
a black t from American Apparel and a lil bag from Forever 21.

I have always loved DKNY's "cozy" sweater. They fit great, are warm and cozy, and are great for traveling. Personally I don't have an IPhone but I thought this was kinda cool.....
