Summer, Summertime. Summertime Siren

This was probably one of my favorite shoots that I have ever done. It was so amazingly weird and surreal at this location and all the shots were so, so captivating. The shot of Elina in the water in the sequin dress still gives me chills. Man, what an awesome day.

I'm playing a little catch up with my work right now. So please excuse the massive posts that are to follow. Here's the Spring 2013 shoot I did with Lulus.com and JUCO shot at the Pink Motel. Enjoy!

It's totally 2013, you guys. We made it. Anyway, the end of my 2012 was spent planning this lookbook for Lulus.com- A Brighter Shade of Pale. It was the first lookbook I got to take the creative lead on in both the styling and the set/overall look. Besides a few planning hicups, everything went so smoothly. And Rina is such a babe and so easy to work with. So enjoy. And happy 2013.

Currently Obsessed: True Romance

I had never seen this movie until March, when my boyfriend came over to my house one night and made me watch it.  I have no idea how I had skipped over this gem, written by Tarantino, directed by Tony Scott. But by the end of it all, I was in love. A whirlwind romance surrounded by drugs, murder, and Elvis Presley. The clothes are the perfect mix of Las Vegas, Blue Hawaii, and Peg Bundy. There's something about Alabama's style that reminds me of Jeremy Scott. To say the least, I can't get enough.
