Just Charming

I completely disregarded my Juicy charm collection for a while. Maybe because I keep everything in its original packaging so its hard to remember what I have in my closet verses visually seeing it on a daily basis. Well I pulled one out today and after one came all.

What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language. ~Miuccia Prada

The Rebel Club Photo shoot

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a great weekend...it sure did go by fast, but don't they always. A few weeks ago I was booked for a photo shoot for the The Rebel Club clothing line in preparation for their look book. I'll be sure to share the professional images once I receive them but until then be sure to check some of the images out HERE. It was a pleasure to work with everyone. Enjoy!

Models Beathany, Ashley, Marquita Bianca and Sanura, Thank you for the images Marquita!

PS - If you haven't already, Be sure to check my sidebar out on other great jobs I've had this wonderful year.

Process Magenta

Hi everyone! Hope your first day to the work week was great.

I normally don't wear to much eye colors unless an occasion calls for it or

I'm playing around with my treasures. Well I decided to play around this

morning and I didn't realize my eyes were so potent with pink until I stepped outside

thanks to MAC Chromagraphic Pencil in Process Magenta. I added it to my

waterline and not once did it smudge or run off the entire day. This is a beauty!

Hepcat, Parfait Amour and Purple Haze also joined forces.

Whistle while you work...

Strategy

I've been so busy with making some simple changes around the house which will in return change my mood and way of thinking, like making over my desk, preparing for Fall painting, reviewing tons of magazines for inspiration and finishing up some unread books.

What are some of the things you've been putting off? Please do share...


The important thing is to take your time and not get stressed. ~DVF

Lucca

This is when I start to hate my short bangs, they just didnt want to work with me swept to the side. Initially I wanted them cut for a new look but I'm starting to feel it was just a fase. On another note...I'm in love with my new leather Elliott Lucca drawstring bag. A classic piece which will sustain the test of time.
