Today's Adelita Style Self Portrait
 |
| click on this collage for a closer look! |
I'm not even going to pretend that watching Bill Cunningham New York didn't have everything to do with my blog post today. If you love people watching, fashion and a beautiful human story, you must watch it!
This mini collage of photos starring me is an homage to the fact that pulling a fantastic outfit from your closet, or in this case Lucia's, is definitely not exclusive to designers, stars or stylists. Making an outfit is about your personal tastes and expression. And what a treat is was for me to be on the other side of the camera! Frankly, I was flattered... and nervous.
Because someone was dressing me this time, I felt as if each outfit was a costume and me the character. My favorite was the plaid 70's number because of the wide-legged pants and giant brimmed hat. It transported me to a place where models were lean and leggy, where the Carpenter's Top of the World (look it up kiddies) was playing in the background. My least favorite was the genie jumper. I kept saying, "Who am I?" It was almost too comfortable, made me feel like I was in pj's, which was weird.

Chloë's Senior Project
A few months back Chloë Bell invited me to her senior project: Fashion Through the Decades. Chloë found clothing from thrift and discount stores and styled a couple from each era. I met this sweet girl, petite and blonde with anime eyes when she needed me to style her for some alternative senior pics so, I thought it would be great to see the beginnings of what might just be this young girl's career.The show was great! The female models catwalked on stage to model their era's outfit. The girls were followed by male partners dressed appropriately to match, then a small dance errupted from the music playing. Each couple was sharply lit and in the finale, everyone jitterbugged, hustled and twisted together as a group.
Our little stylist and producer not only put on a good fashion show, she provided the guests with hand-drawn programs and coupons were handed out from the stores where the models clothes came from! In my school of fashion, you get an A+ Chloë!!

Oh NO He Di'int!
Yes, he did! Christian Louboutin the French King of stilletos teamed up with Barbie to make a fabulous mini-sized collection. Many can't afford his famous red bottomed pumps retailing from $400 up but, who can stand not having a pair, even if they are miniature? For a mere $150 you can own not only 3 pairs of Louboutin heels and a wicked pair of leopard-print boots, you also get Barbie as cat burglar! Check out NET-A-PORTER (don't worry girls the rumor that Net-a-Porter sold out of this delicious toy in one day is true, but they have restocked) and sign up for their Barbie updates as there is more to come! Here is a sneak peek...
The REAL deal.
