Stone Age Style By Jeremy Scott

Would you expect anything less from designer Jeremy Scott? Personally, I think fashion should be borderline crazy. It does not have to be this serious haute couture, all black, death personified, sullen thing. I guess every designer and every fashionista has their own opinion and style, but for me I like things with a dash of humor, a dollop of zaniness, and of course an array of delicious colors. Not that I would necessarily wear anything from Scott's Spring/ Summer 2010 line, but I thought it was fun and worth posting about.

This is How Breezies Get Down in 1973

I found this shirt for 50 cents during one of my weekend treasure hunts. I thought it was obnoxious, hilarious, arrogant, and design friendly. A few adjectives that I often use to describe myself. I love the neon colors and bubbly text. Its marked by the artist named of "Roach 1973".

Sneak Peek: Big Girls Tea Party

I produced and did the art direction for a photo shoot yesterday inspired by a little girl's pass time...tea parties! I pulled from all local talent; dresses designed by Naomi B., hats by Katie Cox, and jewelry by Susan Goodwin. Below are a few snaps I took during the shoot. I can't wait to see the edits by Kyle Johnson and Christopher Nelson.

Freetime Industries: Lazer Nature

Check out my friend Katie Bailey's work...Lazer Nature by Freetime Industries. Soooo cool. I was fortunate enough to style and help with the art direction for her look book. Photos by her boo, Kyle Johnson. =) The sunshine was perfect that day! To download the line sheet/ look book click the link. Lazer Nature Line Sheet.

Amber Rose in October Issue of Elle

Amber Rose is probably Kanye West most redeeming factor right now. He styled her for a photo shoot editorial in Elle Magazine October issue. Check it out.


Sparkles and sequins!

A goddess!

Freak of nature.

Move over Kim Kardashian, there's a new big booty in town.

The very talented Christine Hahn was in Seattle for a couple weeks and we pumped out a total of 4 photo shoots! This means a total of 27 looks. Whew. I can't wait to see the rest of them, but here is a sneak peek from one of the shoots.

MTV 2009 VMA Fashion Recap

Everyone knows that award shows really aren't about the "awards" and who wins, but more so celebrity antics, and of course what people are wearing. Quite a spectacle! Photos compliments of Getty Images/ MTV.com


Kristin Cavallari. Sequins & sparkles mini dresses were everywhere that night.


The lovely Katy Perry.


My favorite couple. Kanye & Amber before they were escorted out of the show.


Lady Gaga. Always head of the circus, but still love it.


Not sure who she is, but I know who designed the dress! My favorite Brian Lichtenberg!


Keri Hilson killing it! I expect nothing less from her stylist Mariel Haenn.


Alessandra Ambrosio.


Cassie Ventura.


Olivia from The City. I love the simplicity of this outfit. Leopard accent pieces are so key.

Riri in Vogue Italia

Word on the streets...Rihanna was suppose to grace the covers of US Vogue in upcoming Fall/ Winter issues, but ever since the nude photos of the sexy starlett leaked the internet, Editor in Chief Anna Wintour suddenly changed her mind. It's a little sad, but it's ok though! Riri got a better gig with Italian Vogue for the September 2009 issue. And the photos, styling, and art direction is on point! Enjoy...

Logan Neitzel on Project Runway Season 6

This season another Seattle native will take "Project Runway" by storm...the very talented Logan Neitzel; bartender by night and designer by day. Neitzel recently debuted his line at Seattle Fashion Week and wowed the crowd with his intricate cuts, and color schemes of black, gray, and subtle splashes of hot pink and teal, and his take on texture. I had the pleasure of working with this designer and must say he is anything but flamboyant and driven by attention, rather he is very serious about his work, shies away from the spotlight, and the kind of guy that wants his work to speak for itself. Watch him this season on Project Runway on Lifetime! To learn more about the designer visit www.loganneitzel.com.

Yard Sale This Sunday

Pretty Young Thang

I have been on a one month hiatus with photo shoots, but I am back to the drawing board! I have a few concepts in mind that I'm working on, and hopefully by the end of summer I can print my proofs and get a new portfolio book going.

Recently I been corresponding with Gretchen Johnson a talented and experienced wardrobe and prop stylist (Pomp Visual). I was so excited about all the advice and guidance she's been giving me in terms of the industry. When you're in Seattle it's hard to meet people who actually know what they are talking about when it comes to fashion and style so I felt very fortunate meeting her. =)

I know I haven't been blogging much, but that doesn't mean I'm not working on my craft. I spent a couple days in Skagit Valley and did a mini photo shoot with my girlfriends; Syreeta and Justine. I'm not the greatest photographer, but I styled the entire thing and hope to use the photos for when I re-open my online vintage boutique. Check out a few of the shots I did below. I was going for an early 90's Funky Cold Medina, Round The Way girl kind of look. It was just a simple test, so nothing too spectacular. I really need to brush up on my photog skills, even for simple stuff like this.


These days I am focusing on early 90's video vixenesque fashion. Some call it hookerish, I call it hot!


Justine workin' it in a Contempo Casuals bodycon mini. Hot!


Who wants to go hang out in Coney Island circa 1990? I do!


Such piercing eyes!

Below is the mood board I worked on for a photo shoot Kyle Johnson and I are going to put together. Think Marissa Tomei in "My Cousin Vinny", a Long Island girl down the block, sass and frass, pink delicious goodness, leopard print fierceness, big hair, with a cherry on top. And we have the perfect model for the shoot too! It's going to be a blast pulling looks for this shoot.

Brian Lichtenberg vs. Christian Joy

I think a resourceful and tactful way to launch your career as a debut designer is by creating custom design pieces for musicians, artists, and notable celebrities. I am loving both Christian Joy and Brian Lichtenberg pieces. They are probably my two favorite designers right now as far as costume design goes. It's sparkly, colorful, and stretchy. Karen O. for Christian Joy! M.I.A. for Brian L. Pick your poison, but I love them both.

The Great Pacific Northwest: Photo Shoot Collaboration with Kyle Johnson

Before Kyle left for his road trip we wanted to squeeze just one more photo shoot in. For awhile now, Kyle and I wanted to do a tribute shoot to the Pacific Northwest. What better way to depict the place we know and love with things such a Pendleton plaid, tattoos, nature, wood, etc. It's very Seattle, but that is the point.

We didn't want to cast models from the agencies or anyone who was picture perfect. We wanted to show real friends, real people, raw energy and relationships on camera. So we decided to use Zach, Ivre, and Shannon. They are real life BFFS!

Photographer: Kyle Johnson
Art Direction/ Wardrobe Stylist: Osiris Navarro
Makeup Artist: Angel Dorr
Special Thanks: Katie Bailey for showcasing her jewlery "Lazer Nature", Naomi for letting us use her backyard, and our lovely models Ivre, Zac, and Shannon.


Summertime in the Pacific Northwest. Happiness and sunshine!


Shannon hanging out and rockin the Lazer Nature.


Lazer Nature earrings by Katie Bailey. She was so kind to give this pair to Shannon. Please e-mail me about any inquiries about Lazer Nature products.


My favorite piece from the collection. Wine dyed leaves. How pretty.


Plaid vests compliments of Moksha Clothing.


Those pointy shoes are so 1993 and I am so loving it.

Get It Girl: Mariel Haenn

I'm 25 years old, and I'm starting to feel like I need to make some serious hustler moves in the next 5 years to get to where I want to be in my career. But I don't see myself as an opportunist. I want to be the kind of girl who pays her dues, and gives respect to others before me. I guess I just want to make a little shout out/ recognition to Mariel Haenn. People always compliment Rihanna's outfits and how she looks on point, etc. Well people, you didn't think she dressed herself did you!

Check out her work at www.marielhaenn.com


I love the costume she designed for Ciara in the "Go Girl" video. Kinda like a sexy Terminator.



Love what she chose for Keri Hilson at the BET awards. I am not loving that hairstyle, but she had nothing to do with it!


Some critics weren't feeling this ensemble, but I thought it was cute. A bold statement, but what better place to get a little bold than the Met Gala. Also, Marc Jacobs was the host for the evening and since his latest collection is a tribute to the 1980's this was quite fitting. FYI.
