Vintage Modeling

I just changed my profile picture on my blog of this photo taken of me not too long ago. I thought it went with my blog better than the other since it's Vintage inspired!



A very talented girl I know had to photograph a 'wrist watch ad' for a class in college and wanted an elegant image that displayed the designer watch. I was so excited to do this! My make-up was done dramatic and the netting over my face and head was actually just a fabric sample of tulle. It took some magic hands and bobby pins to make it look good since it wasn't really meant to be worn as a head piece!! This image came out best out of all the photos taken (I prefer my side profile lol) and when the graphics for the watch were added it looked pretty awesome! Her critique in class went well =) Phew!

Miss Patina Vintage!

A fellow Blogger Avenue M told me about this great website Miss Patina Vintage. It's a London Brand created by a design team graduated from London College of Fashion. The clothing is inspired by Vintage fashion as well as latest trends, bringing individual style of retro and style at the same time! I absolutely LOVE the clothes. Living in America, I especially love to be exposed to other fashion trends and designers from across the seas!


This Jacquard Knit Cardigan embellished by cotton balls is so chic and looks so comfortable doesn't it?! This might be considered more of a "Fall" look but with the light colors and maybe a different pair of shoes instead of boots and her hair up in a messy bun I think I'd definitely rock it on a cool spring day =) As well as the outfit, I love the set of this photo. It's casual, rustic and peaceful. It's gives the viewer a positive vibe about the clothing.



I'm currently obsessed with this romper!!!! This frill collar drawstring floral playsuit (romper) is vintage inspired with a lightweight cotton material. The ruffle top detail can be worn either off or on the shoulder for a different look. Rompers are hands down my favorite article of clothing. It's comfortable while looking flirty, playful and effortlessly stylish. If I could I would wear one of these everyday! I love that I can wake up, put on a romper and all I have to do is accessorize! They are my ideal outfit for the Spring.

Adele - Rolling In The Deep

So i'm on a roll today with these posts! I'm sitting at one of my favorite coffee shops and am just feeling inspired to share my thoughts and loves. I wanted to share with you a video of a singer/songwriter I really admire and am seeing in concert in MAY with a good friend of mine!

The way she belts out notes is unbelievable. I love her vintage look too;) Enjoy=)

*Shoes of Prey*

Ok, SO I don't know if any of you gals have heard of this website but it's pretty much a shoe fanatics dream! The website is called Shoes Of Prey. You have to check it out =) You can choose a number of different types of shoes and then design them any way you'd like. Different colors, patterns, skins, leathers etc. It is pretty pricey but can you imagine having a one of a kind designed high heel that you designed?! I'm pretty excited about it =)



I decided to design somewhat of a Spring shoe! I chose a wedge (of course) and thought the t-strap connecting to multiple straps was a fun look. I chose Floral Snakeskin for the t-strap and toe, Patent leather pink, green, blue, yellow and white to complement the floral in the snakeskin and the same color blue for the trim and back. I think it'd look pretty awesome as an actual shoe =) Maybe I can convince myself to spend the $$$!

How would you design your perfect shoe?!

Pleats & Lace for Spring!

I've read and seen on runways that pleats and lace are a big trend for spring! This excited me!! There's nothing more girly than a flowy skirt with beautiful chiffon pleats. The way it moves when you walk and blows in the wind reminds me of a 1930's Audrey Hepburn.

With all that said, I was excited to share with you two pieces that just arrived in the store I work at , Club Monaco!!



The skirt on the left is the "Pamera" skirt. It comes in this beautiful rosy color and black. It's very flattering and can be worn a number of ways! The lace skirt on the right has a certain romance to it, it's very dainty yet rugged, being made out of 100% cotton. EVERY girl at my work is purchasing one. It's a piece you can have forever.

I found these shoes on UrbanOg.com and thought they'd be a perfect accent! They are flirty and fun but not as intricate as the skirt so they compliment each other well. The nude color would be perfect to pair with the skirt and a rose colored top for a nice brunch or dinner. The black pair would be perfect with the skirt for a night out with the girls or a hot date! Pair with a sexy simple top and a black blazer and you're ready to go!

La Photoshoot

I thought I'd post a picture I did about a year ago from my modeling portfolio! This was done for a photographers thesis show during college I did for fun. I wore my favorite little vintage lace top that contrasted great with my tattoo, and the hair and make-up really pulled the look together =).

A little Balenciaga Lace for this Friday night!!!

I love everything about this photo. The composition, set, pose, and of course the elegance of this detailed lace dress. Sooo stunning!! The photographer does a great job creating a story with one capture. As the viewer I wonder what she's looking at, where she is going in that beautiful dress and what she might be thinking. It's such a capturing photo I could look at all day.
