Winter is my favorite season, especially when it's still fresh, white and clean. During the Juno storm of January last year I knew I wanted to produce a winter shoot that would capture the essence of the blizzard. Luckily there was a team who shared the vision and off we went to the Arboretum, laden with winter furs ready to go knee-deep into the snow!
Boston: Meet a Model: Briahna Gilbert, Teaser
Just a teaser of a shoot of Briahna Gilbert of Model Club in Boston. I was fortunate to work with an amazing team on this editorial: Tara West of Tara West Fashion and Carmina of Makeup By Carmina.
Our inspiration was fall's neutrals, lots of layers and a plum lip to brighten up those grey days.
More to come...

Boston: Hippie Chic at the MFA
I was born in the 70s....um...that's the LATE 70s, but have always been a fan of the 70s boho chic look.
NYFW Candela SS2013 RTW
I'm such a huge fan of Candela...everything is bohemian and playful, demure and sweet.
Don't you want these beautiful head of braids and those SHOES?
It was nice to see Candela designer Gabriela Perezutti and Ken Downing, the Senior Vice President and Fashion Director at Neiman Marcus.
Here a look at SPRING, at the Candela RTW SS2013 Presentation...
NYFW Brandon Sun
Looking back today on Brandon Sun's immaculate SS2013 RTW presentation at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.
Animal prints with beautiful, luscious fur. Sexy, flowy gowns mixed with pencil skirts and sculptured accents. Draped, yet structured and impecably tailored.
I want it all.
BFW 2012: Avni
Avni's SS2013 collection was inspired by purity and spirtuality and the philosophies behind designer Hussein Chalayan's work. The show started with a dramatic drum performance, which may have been intended to take place during the runway show, had the tent been bigger. Avni showcased lots of neutral, layered pieces in silks, cottons and satins with styling by Christina K. Pierce adding an element of the designer's Indian roots, with forehead jewelry pieces and bindis. Once again, we see braids, this time long and over the shoulder.
BFW 2012: Grace Kim, gKIM Studio
Grace Kim showed prowess in her gKIM Studio RTW collection of clean and contemporary silhouettes. The runway show, complete with 1930s inspired blonde wigs, showcased lightweight frocks and swing coats; all classic looks with modern finesses that could be worn by a current day Ginger Rogers. To that, I say, well done Grace Kim!
Here, some of my favorites.
In Memory: My Dad, the Style Icon
25 years ago, today, my Father passed away.
To celebrate his life, I want to share some of his magnificent style. I've shown you some of his tailoring before, but what you may not know is that he was an architect, an interior designer and a photographer. He loved tailoring his own clothes and keeping on trend with menswear as well as hair styles.
Here are some memories of him, but let's not forget my gorgeous Mom who's not to shabby herself! The cutie at the end is my sister (aww!)

Anjolee Diamonds + How To
There's always so much inspiration on the www. Not surprisingly, Pinterest plays a huge roll in giving me my daily dose of inspiration. I came across this image and thought to try it out, myself! And with Anjolee Diamonds sending me beautiful studs, like these diamond stud earrings, I was ready to play a glam roll. Take a gander at Anjolee Jewelry; they make high-end custom jewelry like hoop earrings, and diamond tennis bracelets that add that extra something to any outfit or hairstyle.
Here's my how-to on getting your hair retro chic, and if you have bangs like me, don't worry about them falling out of the clip.
