DJ Premium Fall Trends Lookbook

Hey guys!

It's been a month working as a Stylist for DJ Premium & Dr. Jays and it's going great!  Two weeks ago I styled my first lookbook photo shoot for them.  For the shoot we covered the four key trends that on the site right now--Military, Rocker, Wild West, and Graphic Tees.  The lookbook isn't officially live yet, but here are some sneak peek images that are currently on the banners of DJPremium.com

















I'll definitely keep you all posted with more images soon! :)

Kids/Tween Test

A couple of weeks ago, my boyfriend and I took a mini trip to Julian area for my first Kids/Tween test shoot! In total I styled 10 kids, and the crazy part is that most of them modeled for Target, Guess, Ralph Lauren..you name it.  They're making more money than all of us combined...nonsense. Haha! After doing several photo shoots for adults/teenagers, it was a breath of fresh air working with kids who are constantly having fun.  Below are a couple of my favorites from the shoot!

Spring 2011 Editorial

I had the pleasure of working with an amazing team back in September.  Photographer Nicole Hill wanted to do a spring 2011 editorial, which included 8 looks.  Some key Spring '11 trends that I noticed on the runways were: hints of sea foam green, white, neutrals, lace, sheer (my fave!), pastel floral patterns, and hints of black and gold.  Below are the edited images from the shoot.

My favorite outfit! I layered a lace skirt, with a ruffled green dress and the oversized knit to add dimension.


Layered three pieces-nude dress, long sleeve tunic, and lace top.




I had this vintage gold dress that went down to the knees. I transformed it by pinning the skirt to make it shorter and put a chunky knit sweater and the black lace top over so that the skirt is just a "pop!" in the outfit. ;) It was the last outfit of the day and made that outfit on the spot.  Good ending! Haha
