uptown girl






 it has come as quite the shocker that i've never ventured to downtown los angeles to shoot. i always forget that among the palm trees and golden coasts, lies a proper city filled with sky scrapers.

art deco academy

i was more than delighted watching all the fashion that sweeped the red carpet at the academy awards last night. incredibly safe to say that art deco was the brilliant theme and i was all on board! here are my top four selects of last night's majestic event...



halle berry in atelier versace *my absolute favorite*
nicole kidman in l'wren scott 
naomi watts in armani prive
jessica chastain in custom giorgio armani

flora conscious











i could not be more excited for spring to finally makes its debut. as much as i love layering and dressing up for the winter, a fresh and floral approach to my wardrobe is greatly welcomed. vanessa paradis shines for h&m's spring collection, conscious. the entire campaign embodies what's to come these following months. wouldn't you agree?



counterpoint







i enthusiastically encourage anybody to take a day off and visit a vintage bookstore. the familiar smell of old books brings a certain happiness to my soul. to get lost amongst books (and in this particular case, records) is a rare treat for anyone that lives in a bustling town such as los angeles. a special thank you to counterpoint records & books!

london fashion week: street style
















oh how i really wish i was in london right now for fashion week... the style, the city, the shows! 

like an american




happy president's day, y'all!
i'm very much looking forward to this day off!



canadian tuxedo





one of my favorite and easiest things to throw on is this exact outfit : my canadian tuxedo (ie: denim on denim). an ideal day - to - night outfit made possible by a quick change of shoes and a dash of red lipstick. 


h-v-d



in love, nothing is eternal but drinking your wine,
there is no reason for bringing my life to you,
other then losing it.
i said, "i just want to know you, and then disappear."
she said, "knowing me does not mean dying."

nyfw street style


even in the midst of nemo (darn you blizzard), new york fashion week carried on just fine with brilliant dashes of color among the whitest of snow.
