Im an Urban Outfitter

As you may know I work with a lot of young artists and celebrities, which means I get the honor of viewing and trying out new urban designs on my clients for shoots and press tours. It's one of my favorite parts of the job because it gives me a creative platform to try out new styles & give new designers a go.

One of my goals for this year is to work with more hip-hop inspired looks & clients, hello Justin Bieber! Which is why I am so excited to pull looks from these amazing collections by Altaf Maaneshia & Control Sector that I saw this past February during NYFW. I particularly loved the first look and the beanie look. {Naturally, the mister wants that jacket}. I love the aesthetic of both designers and their eclectic styling. You can also checkout more of the designs here. Enjoy!

NYFW Wrap Up

As a stylist I get invited to see the new collections of designers every season, its a super fun and crazy busy week seeing all that is out there but I love being around all the people of the industry and seeing what creativity the new season brings. It is also great because I get to see whats out there to potentially use for dressing my clients or for photo shoots. Here is a quick recap of this past NYFW: I went. I saw. I conquered. I took note of my favorites that I look forward to using in the future for my clients. Here are some of them: 

Rodarte: Star Wars Collection Dresses {what?! I know!}

Jenny Packham: Sweaters & Formal Wear

Nicole Miller: Leather & Texture

Spring... or Naw?

Hello friends! I hope this lovely spring-ish weather has been treating you well. It definitely hasn't been feeling very spring-y here in Brooklyn but I'm embracing the sunshine as it comes. I have had some pretty life altering things happen in the past few months. Too much to go into detail over here but all you really need to know is that I am back with a passionate plan to regularly post on the blog and to share what's going on in my world. 

I plan to utilize this blog to feature my work as a stylist, show you cute ideas and tricks I am learning about fashion/beauty/nesting, and things I've thrifted/flipped. I believe it will be a wonderful 2014 and a lovely journey and I hope you will join me! Heres to all that is to come and 4 of my favorite things right now:

NYFW

There is this thing I do twice a year (at least)..it's called fashion week {Or Mercedes Benz Fashion Week}. If you don't know what it is or you've only seen it on Project Runway {love that show!} it is when fashion designers showcase what they have been working on for the upcoming season. The goal is that the buyers who are invited will purchase the collection or pieces of it for the stores so that the designers can produce it for them. 

Other people are also invited for various reasons, magazine editors (to talk about the collection and convince readers to buy it)students, family & friends, & people like me: stylists (to put the items on their clients/photoshoots/magazines so that the collection gets exposure).
It's also just a lot of fun, we get lots of free goodies {makes for good prezzies!} and I get to see people be fancy for a whole week! Here are some of my favorite pieces from this season:
