GREY AREA

december12

Today, I’ll be spending the day working with Canon…shooting. I’m so excited for what’s in store! It’s got me rummaging through my inspiration files that go way back when. Natalia by Mario Testino. Kate Moss in 1994. Jane Birkin’s 60’s white on white ensemble. All images that’ll forever live in my head, and continue to inspire for decades to come. Sometimes life isn’t always just bright colors and sunshine. Just iconic and legendary moments.

90’S CHILD

When I first saw the new O’neill collection, I thought: the 90’s. The striped shaggy sweaters. Floral kimonos. And psychadelic dip-dye dresses. All full of color and life. I took these California beach babe must-haves and added a bit of NYC edge to them. Take a peek at all 3 looks. Homage to my 90’s childhood. Complete with doodles of everything I had mashed up in my head. FLOWER POWER.

It’s all about planning something unplanned. I gave this extra bohemian maxidress a little more edge layered with a white bodysuit, and my favorite harness boots.

SPORTY LUXE

Oh bare legs, how I miss you so!! Before the brutal 30 degrees, I was still rocking leather minis and sneakers like no other. I dressed down this perfect leather mini shipped straight from the UK (thank you Baukjen!) with my favorite pair of sneakers, and a trust bomber jacket. Sporty luxe. Pops of orange always look best with dark olive tones. Shot here after dashing from Manahttan to Brooklyn on a weekday, you can count on me to show up frazzled with disheveled hair, quickly applying that last minute swipe of plum lipstick. Luckily, those sweaty days on the subway are gone, but sadly, so are rooftop sunbathing sessions in your bikini. You’ll find me with my face ducked inside a turtleneck from now on thank you very much! Until California…

I have officially found the perfect fringed little black dress thanks to the lovely Cynthia Vincent. The delicate black fringe made for twisting and turning. Stevie Nicks style. Black on black perfection. Speaking of which, it’s BLACK FRIDAY. Anybody doing some major shopping? I can’t wait to hit 5th avenue in search of a perfect pair of Saint Laurent boots, and HOPING that my favorite thrift stores are open this holiday weekend. I feel I need a little vintage re-vamp at the moment.  Still totally full from last night’s friendsgiving filled with broccoli risotto and mac n’ cheese casserole. I cannot wait to walk the entire city for that much-needed holiday excersie! Ha! Now take a peek below at my bandit attire, and shop my black friday must-haves.
