stylist
As a long-time fan of Rachel Bilson‘s style (I’ve been told I remind people of her for roughly 7 years?! COMPLIMENT), I couldn’t be more happy to see her at the front of new hit TV show “Hart of Dixie“. This also means more fashion snaps, of course, and my favourite thus far is Nylon‘s cover for November 2011 (shot by Marvin Scott Jarrett)! Beauty-wise, we have Davy Newkirk on hair, Amy Nadine on make-up (adore her work), and Stephanie Harmon on manicure. When it comes to the fashion choices, the stylist duo of Michelle Reneau and Beth Hoppe a...
Hooray! After falling in love with Charlotte Free at Richard Chai‘s Fall/Winter 2011 show, I questioned how seriously the industry would take a pink-haired model. Alas, with just two seasons on the scene, IMG Models‘ young beauty has landed the November/December 2011 cover of Wonderland magazine!

For me, this is one of the most exciting photo spreads I have seen in a very long time. In Flare magazine’s October 2011 issue, Max Abadian lensed (the most underrated) model Natalia Chabanenko in a series of pop-cultural circumstances, co-composed with stylist Elizabeth Cabral. “Fame Game” offers complementary variety, mindful fashion choices, and a creative strength that makes this shoot very near perfect....
Vogue Deutsch‘s best shoot from their September 2011 issue, “Dream Works“, was a huge surprise to me. As I am typically a fan of lively, character-driven models, Iris Strubegger‘s wax figure-esque appeal in this shoot is gorgeously atypical. The clothes are the main focus here, and with stylist Christiane Arp‘s talent, they are completely worthy. Final pro? Alexi Lubomirski on lens....
“I’ve had long enough to change my mind And a sapphire eye looks down on my lilacs Down on my lilacs, down on my lilacs Down on me, down on me” - Matt Costa, Lilacs I typically don’t do “What I Wore”/outfit posts but this Clarisse (ahem prom ahem) dress inspired me! As a stylist, I love using occasion pieces in new ways, and today just felt like one of those days I needed to be covered in flowers. Thankfully, Clarisse had sent me a dress not too long ago that felt absolutely perfect for my tulle-tastic craving. Their flouncy...
