Central Park in the Fall
I heart NY.. especially in the fall. This picture was taken from the showroom window (1407 Browadway), which overlooks Central Park. I love how it looks like there was a greyscale effect added onto the buildings in the background.

Beautiful Paper
I visited an art store this week and saw an amazing array of high quality papers. They were so beautiful and inspiring, I had to share.

Turn a men's shirt into a dress!
Whoa! This video is about the transformation of the shirt, which once was lost in Irina's place by some guy. She made a new dress of it and you could do the same. Looks fun, right?

Saigon Kiss
I fancy myself a traveling photographer. This one was taken in Saigon, Vietnam; a portrait of Isabelle, a very sweet model and actress who hails from California. At the time she was filming the lead role of an Asian television series called "Female Bodyguard". She told me that a burn on your calf from a motorbike is called a Saigon Kiss. Cute! And she actually picked me up on that bike and drove me around the city, in HEELS, no less.

The Art of Footwear
Christian Louboutin's photo campaigns are always brilliantly executed. For this season, he pays homage to classic art with a sole-ful twist.

Gap - I Want Candy
Did anyone know that Maria Aragon was the star of the Holiday Gap Kids commercials?
Tsumori Chisato - backstage
Tsumori Chisato's fall/winter 2011 collections was inspired by the 60 's. Can you believe these are just backstage photos? Looks like an ad campaign to me. The glasses make me think of Iris Apfel, a style society muse and sweetheart.
Fructis - Evolution of Style II
This french campaign for Fructis haircare recalls pop culture's iconic Female styles. A catchy video. Can you name all of the icons?

Craft: Paper Pendant Lights
Paper is one of my favorite materials to play with. Here, I made paper lamps with push light bars from the dollar store. They can then be hung with string or ribbon to add decorative appeal and ambiance to a space.

Party Dress?
Right now I love navy, and I love velvet. I have a big pile of beautiful navy velvet... if only I had those mice that Cinderella had... Still, maybe I can turn this mess into greatness...stay tuned.

Working the Runway
Once in a blue moon, I shoot the runway. Usually just for friends. It's a little old, but I just wanted to share this runway shot that I've always loved from a local show.

Lamp: Before and after.
An ugly thrift store lamp + a coat of sunny yellow spray paint = a fabulous splash of colour in my living room. I may have fumigated a few friends, but all said and done I'll call it craft night success!
Craft: Butterfly Wreath - inspired by Alexander McQueen
I really wanted to make a butterfly wreath for the holidays and I can't believe I found these red feather butterflies - they look exactly like the ones Alexander McQueen used for his amazing butterfly hair piece. This DIY project was super easy and fun to make.
Craft: Nature-filled Glass Ornaments
This season, the breakfast babes have been crafting all sorts of stylish things with the holidays in mind. These simple terrarium-like ornaments was my project this week. As you can see, I filled them with moss, dried-n-dyed flowers and white feathers. The purple fabric ribbons finish them off nicely while adding an extra punch of color. It reminds me of the Garden Party challenge from Project Runway Season 2. I loved that episode!
