One of the boys

This look is very "tom boy". Something I don't try very often, It's kinda fun! I've been in the process of making my style a bit edgier as I plan on moving to Los Angeles. I find myself wearing a lot more black than I used to. Generally that was something I avoided, but I've been really into it lately!

 I'm wearing a current elliot vest, shirt from sheinside.com, and Jeffrey Campbell boots.

Boots & Dots

This playful dress is from an Australian company called Afends. We were working with them at my job for awhile. They have some pretty cool stuff! I've always been a sucker for polka dots! With the drop waist this dress has a bit of a 1920's feel. I made this sweet and simple dress a bit more fierce with some boots, a denim jacket, and a bowler hat. I recently got these Jeffrey Campbells at buffalo exchange for $40, can you say score?! 

Again these photos were taken by my friend Chuck Lang. It's fun working with him because he takes me out of my usual element. I'm always wanting to do very soft and feminine photos and he brings a more rough and girtty feel.

As a graphic designer I'm always keeping an eye out for great design. Recently at a Fashion Tradeshow in LA I stumbled upon this awesome small company called Love Nail Tree. In the pictures below I am wearing one of their sweaters and necklace. They make awesome graphic tees and jewelry. They also have a great message to spread. Below is their mission statement found on their website. Thought they were worth sharing!
