Behind the Scenes: Nina Photoshoot

So I figured I would make a post about a photoshoot STYL did last Sunday. I was able to attend, it was my first one, and I have to say it was such an amazing experience. Maree and Alex were, of course, so nice to meet for the first time. The client was Nina Bouphasavanh, and the photographer was Kevin Kamin. The make-up was done by Kystyana. Let's just say these people were extremely professional, and super nice. There were three different themes to the photoshoot, and each one was in itself individual. The first look was this gorgeous blue dress, we paired it with brown boots, a Marc Jacobs scarf, a diamond ring, and a brown and white belt. The second look was another blue dress, but lighter and with glitter. Paired with black pumps and a gorgeous necklace. Third look was much edgier, a sleek one-shouldered dress. The theme  with this outfit was a woman who almost a warrior. Alex got to jump in, and pretend like he was styling her. (So perfect!) Holding a microphone stand and a camera in hand, she was ready to face anyone. Then the final look, was almost like film noir. In all black, with a touch of fur on the jacket and a floppy hat, Nina was ready to be super sexy wherever she went. The outfits were provided by Off Saks Fifth Avenue, with jewelry and accessories by Betsey Bennis and Suzanne Simmalavong (Director for STYL).

LFW Spring 2012

I am a huge admirer of British fashion. There's just something about the way designers over there know how to break the mold of normal style. Bold prints that tend to be the centerpiece for the entire collection, neutral colors that blend well with different skin tones, and some interesting hair and make-up choices. But that's what designers have to bring when they're showing a collection they put their heart and soul into. I think British designers really know how to show their creativity, and are not afraid to put something out there that people may criticize. I can respect that.

NYFW Spring 2012: Day 6-9

NYFW, Spring edition, is done! I can't believe it. We saw so many great collections throughout this week, and I am looking forward to next year so we can see all of this. Florals, sequins, cheetah prints, and great accessories. Some of my favorite collections included; Marchesa, Reem Acra, Alice + Olivia, Betsey Johnson, and Jenny Packham. It was a lot of fun to review all of this, and I can't wait for London Fashion Week tomorrow.

NYFW Spring 2012: Days 1-5

I can't believe it's already been five days of NYFW. On my own blog I've been updating each day with my favorite looks from different designers, but I figured I would combine my favorites on here. So what have we seen for Spring 2012? Well, nothing short of amazing that's what. Bright, bold colors. Great accessories that include; floppy hats for women, bowler hats for men, stillettos, and shades for those hot days that happen every Spring. I noticed a lot of floral details, some were subtle but others were completely overtaking the outfit. So here are a few of my favorites!

Venice Film Festival 2011

The Venice Film Festival is known as being the oldest one in the world. Founded in 1932, this film festival brings the contemporary art to a prestigious audience. In regards to fashion, actors and actresses come out in full force with informal and formal fashion. The day starts out with screenings, so you see a lot of casual outfits that are nothing but stylish. Then at night the premieres bring out haute couture, bow ties, and everything in between. This year was no exception, and here are just a few of my favorite looks. (Just women this time)
