Boy London

Every Fall I find myself enter a dark place. I fall in love with dark nails, smokey eyes, and dark lips. This year, I've fallen in love with Boy London. The iconic fashion label that fueled the youth of the 1970's and 1980's is completely opposite of my way of dressing...but I think that's why I find it so appealing.

"From Warhol, to Madonna, Punks through to New Romantics, club kids to fashionistas, all have worn BOY. Adopted as the uniform of choice for every youth movement that has mattered, the brand has outlived them all, with the unmistakable spirit that underpins all things BOY remaining the same today as when it was first formed..."  -- William Wright  

Arizona Muse x i-D Magazine

"Work hard and be nice to people." i-D Magazine features model Arizona Muse, photographed by Richard Bush, in its issue The Wise Up. The spread is immaculate. She can make such masculine pieces look so feminine, as she wears pieces by Jean Paul Gaultier, Marc Jacobs and Celine.  

Thanksgiving Birthdays

It's one of my favorite times of year - not too cold, not too hot and the spirit of love is felt in the air. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving - good food, better drinks :)

I have everything to be thankful for. I've been fortunate enough to have an amazing foundation of friends and family to help guide me through it all, and to keep me smiling. My parents, sisters, brother-in-laws, boyfriend, friends...I love them all. I don't tell them how much they truly mean to me as much as I should. But I know in my heart how thankful I am. 

We celebrated the holiday at my house. My sisters came with their husbands, and their kids. It also happened to be my Kuya (Filipino for older male figure) Ivan's birthday, making the day extra special. We ate our weight in food, which I know we'll all regret in a few days, and sang our hearts out during karaoke. It was the first Thanksgiving that we've all been together in a few years, and it was the best I think I've ever had. ♥

Vulture

Vulture Magazine is full of amazing photography. I found these especially captivating. I wish to work on shoots like this in the future...the near future.

Ann Street Studio

Fashion done right is a form of art. I've been following Ann Street Studio for a while now, but I hadn't logged on for quite some time until today. I love the videos, beauty, and fashion editorial portions of their website. This recent post, Wearing Zac Posen, encompasses all of my favorite things - Zac Posen gowns, simple backgrounds, and dark lips.

In a few years from now, I hope to get married wearing a Zac Posen gown. So this shoot is especially special to me. The shots are brilliant.
