dive in

How breathtakingly kick-ass is this?! Since the photos speak for themselves I am only going to mention two things...

ONE: The above series of photographs are not photoshopped. These two models participated in a five day shoot where they free-dived, held their breaths and posed with these beautiful creatures.

TWO: I love when fashion meets public awareness for a good cause. Despite their name: whale shark, these creatures are gentle and harmless. Unfortunately, they're poached and sold for mainly their fins - BRUTAL.

The last outfit shot of me before my big move out of NYC...

I'm sure the city has much colder weather that would deem my outfit inappropriate, but it works for current conditions here in LA. I tend to throw on a larger piece of outerwear over a spring/summer silk dress in a sad little attempt to mentally hold onto one last ounce of warmer weather.

Thin summer dresses with oversized jackets and shorts with thick chunky sweaters... May seem silly, but when the mornings and evenings have over a 20 degree difference sometimes it just makes more sense.

shake it out

extra long shadows +

fully beaded sleeves & a tail makes for a fun outfit to shake around in.

With the holidays coming up, we can all justify wearing beaded sparkly things as 'normal' attire. Or for those like me, everyday attire. 

if you like the top so much, you can get it here !

Scarlet Slasher

A bloody crimson color for the kick-off of holidays whether it's Halloween to Christmas, I can see myself wear this for all occasions. And of course, I put it with a beat-up shirt to make sure I don't look too done-up & more day appropriate.

On another note, my heart goes out to all NYCers and my friends on the east who had a blasting storm come through! My best wishes & lots of love <3

Twist N' Shout

Had a little too much fun with this outfit. NOW I KNOW WHY IT WAS SO FUN IN THE 20's!! The twirling, dancing, moving, groovin...ALL OF IT! Of course it was difficult to even stand in 6 inch Herve Leger heels, or so it felt like 6 inches. The only time you will catch me walking or even wearing heals 4 inches or taller will be one this site.   :)

It has been a while since I have posted anything on this blog, but I am back. Took a vacation for a bit, but back with a new hairdo, more styles, and more posts!

fox & minx + insane jungle

you can never have too much denim...

A new online shop called Insane Jungle has decided to house and stock some repurposed vintage shorts by yours truly. There's only one of each and every piece is hand painted and studded. So get them in their vintage section while they're there! + pick up a few cool new pieces to add to your closet.

cloisters

[I almost forgot these photos!]

Dreaming of better days and time spent at the Met and the Cloisters.

Notice the absence of my belt after a few snapshots... I obviously have a short attention span to keeping my clothes put together.

WHY is it 90+ degrees here in California? I thought it was October... ten days from today a year ago, we had a surprise snow storm in NY. Now I'm here on the west melting.

Not good for Mother Earth

* btw: I highly recommend visiting the Cloisters up in the Bronx. You forget that Manhattan exists around it! + it's free with your met ticket/button
