I love how Prabal Gurung mixed textures and fabrics for this collection. Iridescent fabrics paired with matte on a dress. Shiny black fabric on a pantsuit. Shiny gold panels combined with a sparkly gold on one dress. I loved the whole vibe of this collection. All photos are from style.com.
Chrisitan Siriano's show for this season New York Fashion Week was much more subdued then his previous collections. No showstopper finale gown this year, which I have always come to enjoy. If I had to choose a favorite look from this collection it would either be the one above or the other looks featuring a leather jacket with dress. It is definitely something I would wear. As I much as I enjoyed this collection, I think my favorite collection is from Autumn/Winter 2011. I loved the dominace of black and darker colors (can you tell I have a little goth kid living inside me?). All photos are from style.com.
I love that certain shows from New York Fashion Week are livestreaming online. I caught a rebroadcast of the Nicholas K show last night. Lots of layering and a focus on outerwear. I loved how she mixed textures, jersey with knits and leather. I loved the color palette. Neutrals with black and gray. Basically everything I love. The ten gallon hats were a nice touch too. The first photo I posted is my favorite look from the show. All photos are from style.com.

This week we interviewed Selahdor designer David Chum for The Trunk Show. We visited his studio in Boston and he showed us around as well as talked about his views on fashion, the women he dresses (as well as the one woman he would love to dress), and his design process.

StyleWeek Providence's Autumn/Winter 2013 is full swing. Here is my photo on the cover of Maria del Carmen Mercado's catalog for her show last night.
// A group of artists and photographers speak on how they stay creative.
// DC Comics changed their logo. I like the new look but it doesn't look like it belongs on a comic book cover. It doesn't add any excitement to the reading experience.
// Leo Babauta over at Zen Habits talks about the habits that crush us and what we can do to cope in a better fashion.
// For all the web designers, here is a list of 25 most popular Mac OS X apps for web designers.

// Watch a side by side comparison of the new Nikon D4 and the Canon 1DX. Which do you think is better? I am leaning toward the Nikon D4.
// I still can't get over the "Shit ____ Say" videos. These two videos from The Platform of Shit Fashion Girls Say pretty much describes myself and all of my friends.

My first photo shoot on 2012 was a good one. I've been working on projects for clients for so long that I haven't just had a personal shoot just to try out new things. I've been wanting to try out different editing techniques for awhile now. Usually I focus on the model so much that I tend to forget about the rest of the image. Without getting into an editing lesson, curves and layer masks have become my best friend.

I finally got to shoot in this location that I'd been dying to shoot at for the longest time. Old factories right by a river. I love it. I can't wait to explore the area some more and do some more shoots there.

]]>My first "stripped" of 2012 comes from musician and comedian Mike Falzone. Mike has a huge fan base on YouTube with thousands of subscribers and has toured all over the country performing. After talking on Twitter and finding out he lived pretty close to me, we planned to film a video. It was so nice of him to come and I can't wait to work with him again!
]]>Today I am heading to New York with makeup artist Lauren O'Jea to go to On Makeup Magazine's latest issue's launch party. The last time I was in New York was December 2010 to see Rammstein with Shawn. Since we're just staying one night we don't have to bring too much (thank goodness). I have no idea what I'm bringing for clothing yet but I did pack up all my makeup.
I'm bringing:
Lauren and I will be hitting up the MAC Pro showroom so I'm sure I'll be bringing back much more makeup than I came with.
