breaking in the baddest of bad

macy's ruffled paisley top, f21 gold ring, thrifted cuff bracelet, vintage purse, shoes: e-mail me for more details

if i could sleep in these shoes...i would. i spent about 15 straight hours in them yesterday aimlessly prancing around my room, up the stairs, the garden, driveway, kitchen, you name it. then got them some well deserved attention when i debuted them at my friend's baby shower. of course, there were PEOPLE who thought i was completely crazy. whatevs! gotta do what makes me happy, right?! they really are that much fun to wear.

i'm thinking of ordering a second pair so that i can have one in mint condition and another that i can beat up & give some tough lovin' to. I can't believe i almost let these go. stuffing them with three pairs of socks seems to do the trick for my tiny feet! the original balenciaga's that these were inspired by were leather and suede, but i'm really liking the faux pony hair & leather combo. I'm in direct contact with the supplier, so if you are interested in ordering a pair or would like more details, send me an e-mail (sidebar)!

my first time with a nasty gal

just two behind the scenes pics from my phone

some of brianna's earlier work for acrimony and nasty gal

A few days ago, i styled my very first shoot for a model signed with look agency! It lasted about 5 hours and by the end we were completely exhausted, but i can't wait to see the shots. There was no set concept, but i was asked to plan 5 minimalist looks. 

i was only able to use 3 of the ensembles that i pulled since the makeup artist was running a little late (this seems to be a trend lol). I felt bad for Brianna because she had to wear the skimpiest outfits with a fan going to lightly tousle her hair. Not to mention,the studio was set up in the photog's garage so it was already about 60 degrees. brrr... she was a trooper though and hardly complained. so very professional.

but what else would you expect from a look/acrimony/nasty gal?

mind blown

Jay perez from San francisco has got to be ONE OF MY NEWEST FAVE PHOTOGRAPHERS.

The styling is perfect (wish i knew who did it) and the concept is brilliant.

Jay perez & team, if you ever read this...thanks for blowing my mind.

finally

last looks from the shoot i styled for page a few weeks ago.

styling is so much fun, particularly when i'm asked to style with my own clothes.
many of these looks are ones that i myself would love to wear, but am
either too shy to do so in public or afraid that i won't be able to pull them off.
it's great to see my ideas come to life on a model though! especially one
who is petite enough to fit into my tiny clothes...which btw are still big on me haha

the goal of this shoot was to build page's portfolio and give her a variety of looks.
the last two ensembles are most similar to my own style these days, so they're def my fave.
i made the black top in the last look from scratch. it was so simple but i love
the way that it drapes on page. on me it looks like a garbage bag lol!
