LIFE: D.C. to N.Y part 1: Fabolous for Rich Yung Clothing styled by yours truly

In the last month I've celebrated another year of my life, worked until my eyes grew heavy, traveled to Washington DC and New York, returned to my great city and so much more.

I spent 5 days in DC and loved every bit of it. I will definitely visit this city again soon. Unfortunately my days were to busy to take in DC's style and culture scene the way I would have liked to (I was a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding and you know how that can go). But now I know I'll have to return sooner than later.

From DC it was onto New York. We (hubby and I) drove into Brooklyn and stayed for 5 days. I love New York for all that LA is not. Each time I visit I come back with new inspiration and appreciation.

While in Brooklyn we connected with our friends at The Brooklyn Circus, checked out their latest collection and infamous Changing of the Guards lookbook in person. The Brooklyn Circus has an amazing forward-moving design aesthetic and they are really good people! I'm so happy to see their brand soar!

The morning after our arrival we were on set to style promotional shots for Rich Yung Clothing featuring rapper Fabolous. We styled Fabolous alongside 3 models in Rich Yung's Holiday and Fall collections. The results were magic! These collections accessorized with Brooklyn Circus hats, Sebago and Red Wing x Ronnie Fieg boots from David Z, and other added touches came together to create sleek layered knit looks on time for Winter. Check out these behind-the-scenes photos....

DESIGN: Valerj Pobega Fall 10: My Favorite piece

This hand-died sheer dress and tights emsemble from the Valerj Pobega Fall 10 collection has been calling my name since the day I first received the lookbook a few months ago. So I thought I would take the time to share these two ethereal photos. Hopefully you can feel what I feel from the simplicity... Beautiful.

LIFE: Funny man Simon Helberg turned model for MF Magazine Editorial shoot

I had the absolute pleasure of styling ULTRA funny man Simon Helberg from CBS's The Big Bang Theory. Simon and The Big Bang Theory are on the top of many "most talked about lists". We shot a cover and 5 page spread for MF Magazine and I've never had so much fun on set.

Simon was debonaire, confident, and hilarious all at the same time while modeling McQ Alexander McQueen, Band of Outsiders, Ben Sherman, G Star, and many others. He likes to act like he's never done this before but once he hits a camera there is no stopping him.

Life: Behind the scenes Brandon Marshall, Bernard Berrian, and fashion shoots

I've been away from my blog for a little minute.. But I'm back now so let's move on :)

I just wanted to share a collection of VERY brief behind the scenes clips from shoots with my frequent collaborator, photographer Kate Szatmari. Kate's a fantastic celeb, sports, and fashion photographer. We have great fun on set! In the past we've shot Stacey Dash, Melyssa Ford and other hot ladies.


A series of various commercial fashion shoots. I loved all of these models. Each was selected perfectly for the clothing we were shooting.














Behind the scenes with the Miami Dolphins' Brandon Marshall for Krave Magazine. The casual, playful side of Mr. Marshall.







Behind the scenes with the Minnesota Vikings' Bernard Berrian for Krave Magazine. The mood and styling of this shoot matches Bernard's personality exactly. Such a calm, cool individual.

STYLE: The paisely boots and their sad story on Etsy

My good friend Manuel Paul just showed me these beautiful vintage leather paisley printed lace up boots on Etsy. If you don't shop Etsy then start. That's it. Just start. It's great.

Anyhow, these boots are amazing. I LOVE the Sage Green color and equally love the paisley. Great for Fall or right now!


There's a sad story to go along with these boots in which the owner ordered them in 1982 while in London then received them and they were too small. Here we are almost 30 years later and she is finally parting with them. Now it's your turn. If you're a narrow 8 or 8 1/2 get on these!
