Happy New Year and Au Revoir

I hope everyone had a lovely time ringing in 2010!

I have had this blog for just over a year and it's time to say goodbye.

Thank you all for your constant support and encouragement. It's been fun and I have learned a lot. So thank you all again and I can't tell you enough how much I appreciated each and everyone who came to read/hear/see my opinion. Goodluck to all with everything you wish to do in this new year!

This is a very cool concept V Magazine executed.

Photos from (issue #63): “The Size Issue,” featuring top plus-size model and author of “Hungry” Crystal Renn alongside newcomer—and more traditional model body-type—Jacquelyn Jablonski.

"Appropriately titled “One Size Fits All,” Richardson’s photo spread showcases Renn and Jablonski side-by-side in identical looks, matching sample size outfits and similar poses. Still, the effect is a powerful one that proves fashion can flatter any figure."

Here are the two models measurements:

Jacquelyn: 5 ft, 9 in; 32/24/34

Crystal Renn: 5 ft, 9 in; 36/31/41

On another note, I liked this picture of Kanye West and Amber Rose leaving a movie theater in L.A. They're so over the top yet so normal at the same time. I hope they saw Avatar. Hope you all saw Avatar!

Lastly, the music video I styled is done! I love the way it turned out. Let me know what you think!

I watched Scarface for the first time yesterday. Very appropriate to watch it here in Miami beach.

Tomorrow will mark the end of my vacation, then back to cold cold NY.

Hear no evil, speak no evil - and you'll never be invited to a party ~ Oscar Wilde

Who doesn't love a good party? On that note, who doesn't love a little harmless gossip? Part of the fun of parties is a bit of gossipy chatter- nothing malicious! Agreed?

Party Pictures in order:

1 My farewell dinner at the Four Seasons on Palo Alto, CA (wearing one shoulder hervé leger dress)

2 Holiday party in Soho, NY

3 SL (club) in downtown, NY

4&5 Dior/ Harper's Bazaar event in midtown, NY

6 Goldbar downtown, NY

How has everyone been enjoying the holiday season? Lots of socializing I hope!

behind the scenes

For the final day of shooting, I transitioned from stylist to subject. We filmed out in the redwoods and it was absolutely beautiful but freezing. 40 degrees and we were wearing little to no clothes, but it looked great so it was worth it.

Being out in nature can be very calming. I won't be embarking on a hiking trip anytime soon, but I did appreciate the scenery for the time being.

Final video should be done early January. I will make sure to share!

just do it

This was my motto for finals week and now I'm done!

Monsters of Folk Music Video-- Styled by Yours Truly

I worked with a tribal theme using mud soaked tanks and thermal pants, leaves fashioned as crowns, body paint, raffia skirts and glitter.

Monsters of Folk consists of Jim James from My Morning Jacket and Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis from Bright Eyes. The song is called "Dear God".

Video footage coming in January.
