Game On!

PowerA's Cool Controllers
I had no idea how important hand comfort was until I entered PowerA's gaming world. Did you know that little boys hands need little controllers to clobber their opponents in Facebreakers? Well, they do but Caution! - Don't let your daddy's "show" you how they work, they won't give them back. Or, did you know, that gamer's hands get hot and sweaty? Ew, they do and I guess they need a built-in fan to make it better. Producing, scouting, sourcing, stand-in modeling and styling; Sometimes a girl has to do it ALL! 

Getting into character for my Stand-In role.

These shoots had me running around doing what I do best- multitasking

Trashy Styling

Waste Management Joe
Ahh... the glamorous world of styling. Or in this case, the trashy world of styling. I'm often surprised by what will be my favorite shoots, what will be my best work. I have to say- Joe is it! His dualities are expressed perfectly with a little bit of styling magic; the right hat, the perfect accessories (bow tie and glasses), the perfect hair and, yes, just a touch of makeup to hide the ball-cap tan line. Not so glamorous but oh-so gorgeous! Like Joe's facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/WMPacificNorthwest and like mine too! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Adelita-Style/75110927747

Chanel: Under the Sea





SpongeBob, Sandy and Patrick did not attend Chanel's sea-worthy fashion show but, that didn't make it any less magical. Check out the inspiring Spring/Summer 2012 show. Lagerfeld will have you dreaming of bubbeling jellyfish dresses, clam-shell clutches and coral-reef skirts!

It's All Wrapped Up!

It's all wrapped up and shouldn't you be?
 Justin and I love to play with clothes. Err, I should say, I love to play with clothes, he loves to photograph them. For this shot, I thought it would be fun to wrap everything that's yummy and warm into my belt collection. Gucci, Sonia, Streets Ahead and Subtle Luxury are all on my shopping list.

Over the Top

This boy's room is just right for me!

















This Fall I can't help but think of design in every sense. What clothes to wear (of course! dying for something vintage), what foods to eat (I'm into pies right now), what to drink (definitely switching to Cabs) and what interiors to redo (it's a stylist prerogative after all.)

Alta Moda presents a very stylized palette of furniture that is somewhat over-the-top. I call it design on crack. Don't get me wrong I am most certainly a maximalist. This kind of excessive indulgence feels so right this time of year. I’m over the moon about the repetitive structure, the need to drape and the sculptural quality of these shots. It’s playful with a dash of grown-up!
