My Photography!

In case some of you don't know, I'm a photographer! It's my job actually. Although recently my camera has been broken, but I just learned it will return back to me in less than 2 weeks! I feel like I don't share enough of my work so I decided to show you all some new photos. Hope you like them!

Ah! The good ol' days, when we walked leopards on leashes..

I can't help but think how interesting it might have been to have a leopard as a pet...




In the 60s the British department store, Harrods used to have an exotic animals department and would actually sell big cats and other wild animals. Wealthy women would buy these big cats and walk them around as fashion accessories. Although I'm VERY glad that has been outlawed, it is a fascinating concept.

Photo of the Week!


Cher! I cannot express how much I love this photo. I think it pushed me to get my bangs as well. I have loved Cher since 3rd grade, but now I appreciate her 60s style even more.

60s Fox Friday! Edie Sedgwick

It's really about time I did a Fox Friday on my favorite style icon of all time: Edie Sedgwick.
If you don't know her she was a beautiful muse of Andy Warhol at his mid 60s studio, The Factory. Edie caught the attention of everyone in high society in New York, including Bob Dylan and Vogue Magazine.


Her style was comprised of stockings, tight mini dresses, a pair of pumps to show off her long legs, long, shoulder sweeping earrings, and a fur coat. Edie pretty much invented the mini skirt by buying little girls skirt for a quarter and wearing them.

I think the most interesting physical aspect of Edie's style was her eyes. She created an extremely dramatic look with her signature eye makeup, wearing 2 sets of false eyelashes and taking over an hour to complete.


Many songs have been written about Edie such as The Velvet Underground's, "Femme Fatal" and Bob Dylan's, "Like A Rolling Stone".


Edie appeared in many of Andy's movies, but was soon overcome by heavy drug usage. Everyone knew them as Edie and Andy and sometimes the newspapers had a hard time telling them apart. They truly loved each other as much as their short time as friends allowed them.



Factory Girl-
A movie that came out in 2006. Which is kind of a "fictional reality" about Edie Sedgwick.
I don't agree with 99% of the casting in the movie.
Ugh and freaking GUY PIERCE as Andy Warhol was a TERRIBLE casting move.
I would even dare to say that David Bowie did a better Warhol in the 1996 movie "Basquiat".
But I think Sienna Miller did a adequate job considering the depth of Edie's character.
But ANYWAY that is an angry rant for another time and another post. I, at least, enjoyed the fashion in the movie... which, again, was somewhat actuate.




I was also Edie for Halloween :)


So I could go on for days about Edie and all of her fashion and life, but I think her photos do most of the talking.


New! New!

Here are a few new clothes I have gotten over winter break. Sorry about the photo quality. I sent out my camera to be fixed, but it should be back in a few weeks.
Anywho! Checkkkkk it out!

On a Walk.

Hello dears! How is everyone this evening?
It was very lovely today in California. There's a lot going on right now.
My schooling starts next week, and I applied for a job, I'm shooting a wedding up in the bay next month. I almost have enough saved to buy my brand new camera! But for now I am just using my little Sony w330. Lastly! I've been reading The Fellowship of the Ring for the second time and I really couldn't be happier.




Lace blazer: Lauren Conrad, floral dress: Forever 21, Bag:Forever 21, Leather boots: Gift from Forever 21

Also I wanted to introduce everyone to my pygmy Goat, Brownie.
Isn't he the cutest thing? I walk him all over my hill without a leash.
He's been my best friend since I was 8.

So, I've gathered a few of my favorite looks from last year! :)
