White Lace

Trend alert! White lace is popping up everywhere. The ultra feminine fabric is ushering in spring and summer in stores like J.Crew and H&M. I've never really been a huge lace fan mostly because my style is simple and clean. And WHITE lace...Well, until now, I've only worn it on my wedding dress, but for some reason I'm really diggin' this pure and flirty fashion statement.

I'm thinking my Easter dress is going to be right up this alley.

Here is some inspiration to get you on the band wagon...

Red Carpet Favorites - 2012 Oscars

I'm glad that I got to see many of the nominated movies before the big award show, but watching Hugo and The Artist take home most of the awards took away a bit of the excitement. Not to mention, I didn't see too many dresses that were eye catching this year. So, it was pretty easy for me to narrow down my two picks for best dressed at the Oscars this year... In first place, Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton.

Remember, how I talked about the comeback of the peplum? Well, here is proof that it's a worthy fashion statement. She looks completely adorable from head to toe.

In second place, Gwyneth Paltrow in Tom Ford.

Her choice of dresses are always unique and elegant. She carries the tone of "understated glamor" better than anyone out there right now.

Who were your favorites?

Styling for Breast Cancer Awareness

Last October I got to be a part of a beauty photo shoot for ELIZA Magazine that featured makeup products that give back to breast cancer research with each purchase.

I was really excited to be  a part of this shoot because my Nana was a breast cancer survivor. And can I just say that I HATE cancer. That is one thing that I'm totally okay with saying that I HATE! So, anything that we can do to get rid it is worth while in my book.

So, even though this looks like it could be a Valentine's Day shoot, all of the pink is in honor of breast cancer awareness.

Featured in ELIZA Magazine - Geek Chic

I'm so excited to finally reveal a photo shoot that took place almost on year ago with photographer, Michelle Herrick. Last year, when "geek chic" became a term, we created a shoot centered around the theme and shot the concept at Brophy College Preparatory. What better place to be a geek, right?

Jaime from Agency Arizona was the perfect model for the job. Still being in high school, it was easy for her to channel her inner geek.

With each look I tried to create the different types of nerds.  There's the 4-H club nerd, the artsy nerd, the true book worm, the cute preppy nerd. Can there be a fashion nerd? If there is that's what I am. Can't learn enough!

We're super happy to see ELIZA showcase our work. It was a full collaboration of parties including hairstylist, Louise McEwen, and makeup artist, Jaime Edens.

Patterned Shorts

It may not be warm enough to wear shorts, but at least we can start shopping for them! I'm a shorts kind of girl. My legs are one of the things I love most about my body, so I can't wait to get my hands on different colors AND patterns this year.

We've all see the trend of colored denim, and thus celebrating color on your lower half. We're just now starting to see patterned pants, but we'll definitely be window shopping patterned shorts! You can count on it!

So, what is your ideal look? Stripes? Gingham? Navajo? Polka dots?

Maybe this inspiration will help!
