Cut it Out

-

Was feelin' cute when I got home from work the other day and decided to take a few pictures.

Outfit: Dress: H&M- OnSale! ; Tights: Target- Similar ; Boots: Marshalls- Similar

Work has been pretty crazy lately so the fact that I was even up to taking my own pictures was a miracle!

Right now at work, I'm working on Cruise 2017 swim.  It seems very far away, but we need to have everything done and photographed by the end of August! It's weird how fashion works sometimes.
Since we've been so busy we haven't had a chance to do our bi-weekly trip to NYC for print shopping.

My design team and I are now responsible for all swimwear brands at FullBeauty Brands (Woman Within, Roamans, Jessica London) and our own lines at Swimsuitsforall (Aquabelle, Beachbelle, Shore Club, Tropiculture, Swim Sexy) It's a lot of businesses to design for!  Each business is one of a kind and there are a lot of specific types of women we design for.



The age range for us is anywhere from young 20's to women in their 70's and 80's, so it's a wide span of women of all shapes and sizes.  It's very challenging trying to figure out what each woman wants in a swimsuit!  But as always our design team is up for the challenge.

Other than work, things have been pretty relaxed outside of my job. I've been planning a few things for my trip to Iceland this October and I'm also looking forward to going home for a little over Memorial Day Weekend!




I'm also apartment hunting for the place of my dreams.  I've been bouncing around since I moved back to the area this time two years ago and I'm ready to be settled in my own place.  Moving is never a quick and painless process so I'm praying that I will find something in the next few months that fit for me and my future cat!

YES! CAT!!!!! Not sure when exactly I'm going to adopt, but I'm gonna do it! Y'all can't stop me! Now that I have my full time job I feel like I can afford to take care of another living thing that's not a plant. Although I do want more of those too! (Cat friendly, of course)


It's been snowing/raining on and off today so I've been staying in and catching up on some TV shows.  I'm hoping that the weather will start to get nicer soon that way I can conduct the kinds of shoots that I want to in the future.

Hope you are all enjoying the weekend; whether you're stuck inside because of the rain or enjoying the great outdoors.

Stay Strong & Style On

David Bowie: Fashion Icon, Rock Legend

David Bowie January 8th, 1947- January 10th, 2016 Although I'm writing this several months after his death, I still wanted to bring forward the importance of David Bowie and his contribution to music and fashion.  I do have to admit, I never was a huge  David Bowie fan,but there has been a number of songs and outfits that have inspired me over the years. In his life, Bowie produced 26 albums, did 14 world tours and appeared in 21 films and television shows. He accomplished so much during his time and his death was a huge loss in the world of rock and roll.  While all of these accomplishments are great, there have been some iconic outfits that have been worn by Bowie in the past years that made some of these moments famous and never forgotten. Life on Mars Some of Bowie's most famous suits were designed by Freddie Burretti , including the suit he wore in the music video "Life on Mars."  Not only did he design the blue suit, but a lot of oth...

How DID the Pilgrims Cook Their Turkey?

This Thanksgiving will definitely be one we will talk about for years to come. A foot of snow... Hanging trees... Broken branches... No electricity for almost 3 days..... You know, just all of the great things you like to have at Thanksgiving. I got home from the airport around 2:30pm on Wednesday afternoon and the snow was really coming down out there.  There was about 3 inches on the ground by the time we got all the way home. As the night went on, our lights kept flickering on and off for a couple of hours when eventually the lights just went completely out around 6. Luckily, my parents invested in a generator a few years ago so my dad filled up the tank with the rest of the gas we had. Our generator only runs our water, heat and a few other essentials which is just enough to get us by.  Around maybe 10:30-11pm the power came back on and it looked like we were in luck! Although when I woke up the next morning......power was out and we had abou...

Artist Thursdays: Yamil Flores

-

This week's (late) Artist Thursday feature is all about the all talented Yamil Flores . Yamil wasn't always a photographer but about 5 years ago he bought his first camera and started doing street photography in New York City. Since then, he has been able to develop his own style and has taken on doing portrait photography in a new and exciting (natural) light. Flores is able to capture the true beauty and essence of those in front of his lens. Back towards the end of this past November, one of the girls at my office approached me about possibly doing a photoshoot with Yamil as he is a good friend of hers and they had taken photos together in the past.  I never really had anyone take my photo before other than a friend taking an outfit photo for this blog or that time I awkwardly posed for my senior yearbook photos in high school.  I was very nervous before meeting and working with Flores but I felt instant relief upon meeting him for the firs...
