SMASHBOX RECAP VIA INSTAGRAM

Last week my team and I wrapped up our Holiday Campaign shoot, we were so excited to work at Smashbox for this photoshoot. The studios are clean, large and overall amazing. The staff was all so helpful and not to mention a delicious coffee bar, I would be thrilled to work there again anytime. I still wouldn't be able to say I love Smashbox LA more than Milk Studios NY though, you just can't beat that environment from my experience, it's like living in a scene of The Devil Wears Prada! (dreams do come true!) We were out and about working from 8:30AM-8:30PM, a ton of hard work and creativeness was put into this project and I can't wait for you guys to see the results (namely who we got to work with ehm*) I think my insta-photos came out pretty good, it's a bit difficult to work a job like mine and lug a good camera around, so for now this will just have to suffice.

CHURCH BOUTIQUE + LOS ANGELES

Yesterday I got a chance to visit a really amazing designer boutique on Santa Monica Blvd during a photoshoot break. I really just wanted to share a few snapshots I got of a few of my favorite pieces so you can kind of see their vibe. How amazing is that dress in the first photo? and paired with that one of a kind statement necklace just makes me want to die inside! Unfortunately I could not afford anything they had but their display's were incredible, different and so inspiring, Im happy I at least got to take that out the door with me. I highly recommend visiting, and if you ever need someone to accompany you I am your girl. Check out the CHURCH website here.

HOME DECOR INSPIRATION

I am so in love with browsing inspiration for home decor, I just dream about what my future house will look like and what I will put in it to inspire me and motivate me on a daily basis. I love neutral colors, wood, candles, dried flowers, black accents and one of a kind trinkets. I am always looking for new sites to discover amazing photos for home and decoration, please send anything my way if you know a good recommendation! My favorite places to shop for home are Antique Swapmeets, Cost Plus World Market, Crate & Barrel and thrift stores.

HARPERS BAZAAR X RIHANNA

Ladies and Gentlemen, Rihanna graces the cover of the new August Issue of Harper's Bazaar and looking more mystical than ever wearing the likes of Tom Ford, Balmain, Manolo Blahnik and my favorite of all a gold pleated dress by the Ralph Lauren Collection. Harper's Bazaar is by all means my favorite magazine.Not only do they publish some of the most amazing designers every month, but they also get involved with the younger generation of entrepreneurs, artists, business people (including women). Their taste is impeccable and their brand image is to a 'T'. Make sure to pick up the latest issue from the news stands to read more up on Rihanna had to say herself.

The morning view and time for work at the studio.

Well well well, the one and only New York City.

I don't really have much to write about here, I feel like the pictures speak for themselves. In New York I work all day and in the afternoon I try to do as much shopping as humanly possible. I have a handful of favorite stores to go to while im on the east coast and the few times that I have stayed I always tried new places to eat! I have been working on a personal list to post/add to a separate page to this blog so I can watch the list expand over time and also share with my readers and friends.

I had a good amount of photos, Im thinking of getting prints made to frame, hmm.
