Homeless fashion?!

In the works of doing an editorial photo shoot with the theme - Fashion meets Grungy: Homeless fashion. I can't wait! Gotta start looking for some slouchy, drab, yet fitted pieces for the models. We're aiming for a 6-8 editorial spread to submit to magazines. If you have any ideas of wardrobe/looks/etc, let me know!

One of my inspirations for this look:
Mary Kate Olsen

Forever 21 Spring 2010 Lookbook

The overflow of florals mixed in with simple nautical pieces create a smooth blend of Spring fashion.

Back to the Grind

It's the end of my first week back in school and I've already been so busy!! I'm so glad I'm relaxing with my loved ones tonight, I need to take a breather from this hectic week.

Tuesday; Fashion Quarterly Staff photo shoot. Try arranging 20+ staff members in a photo.


Wednesday; Class til 12, choreographed with Bucs for Fashion Quarterly's Dance Workshop! Then Keone's class and 220 practice. We are practicing for Vibe dance competition, which is on January 31st in UC Irvine! If you are in the area, PLEASE try to make it. 220's changing it up from The Bridge in December! I am so excited for all the changes, it's gonna be amazingg!

Visit www.vibedancecompetition.com for more information.

Thursday; I had my first paid job from Jet Set Models! I modeled for Dr. Jays (http://www.drjays.com/shop/G5-R37586/brand-new-gear.html?cm_re=Quick-_-Women-_-New!). It was a lot of fun, the people who I met were so friendly and chill and made the shoot very enjoyable! Here are a few of the screen shots/ pics of the outfits I modeled on the site:




After I had a FUSION coord meeting. WOO First all staff meeting TOMORROW! :D
Fusion will be on March 28, 2010!! I'll keep updating about it, no worries.

Later that day I taught at Fashion Quarterly's dance workshop with Bucs at UCSD! It was a lot of fun and I hope everyone who came out had fun as well!



Friday; Got a call from my agent Thursday night for an Adidas casting. So we made a last minute trip to LA! :) It was pretty chill, there were a lot of models so that was pretty intimidating. But the casting guy was really nice and made it a bit easier. ;D I have another casting on Monday for Kotex but I'm not sure if I can skip class..we'll see!!

Today; Had work for the first time in a MONTH at DSW! Hahaha it was really weird going back to work, but also pretty fun - I missed my coworkers!

Here are some edited pictures from two shoots I styled in the Bay Area! Enjoy!! :D

Have a great weekend everyone! I have to go figure out the wardrobe for the shoots now. ;D

Sequins!!

Sequins. The new accessory. ;D


3.1 Phillip Lim

Here are a few tips on how to style with sequined fashion pieces, provided by Style List (http://www.stylelist.com/2009/12/28/how-to-wear-sequin)
1. Mix and Match - put together simple pieces with over-the-top ones such as a sequined skirt with a plain loose tank top.
2. Try an Accessory - sequined shoes and hats also look great!
3. Keep lines simple - simple silhouettes are the best.
4. Look beyond black - sequined pieces look great on other colors besides black, experiment!
5. Don't overdo it - One sequined piece at a time is the best bet.

One Dress

The "One Dress". How practical, but would you really want about 10 different dresses in the same color/material? Hrmmm. I like variety. :)
