Testing...Testing...

Happy New Year!

Thought I would take you back a to early December 2011 when I did a test shoot with the incredibly talented Eric and gorgeous Jackie. Here are a few of my favorites...

Scout's Honor...

When I think of camping, visions of smores, tents, and canteens are instantly interrupted with perplexed thoughts of what will I wear and how will I transport the 2/3 of my closet I will inevitably bring. A couple years calling this city home will make you forget the simplicity and meditation that camping is supposed to be. As evidence here a few images of my friends from a camping trip we took back in October...

We've concluded that plaid= rural/country wear...and that's about as close as we get to embracing that thing called nature...aside from my fishing obsession... But obviously my idea of camping is a little askew, and J.Crew understands me completely. I recently got a preview of their Women's Fall 2010 collection and I've never wanted to hike through woods, kayak, or wear bug repellent so bad.

If Girl Scouts and Brownies ever looked this cool, it would have been reason enough for me to sign up for the sisterhood! Head over here for collection inspiration and tell all from Creative Director, (***edit, New President as of today!) Jenna Lyons. Congratulations!

"Come Into the Forest..."

This past weekend I escaped upstate with some friends. We couldn't have asked for a cozier place to stay.

Snowmageddon

Tonight I trekked down to Grand Army Plaza on a mission! Some friends in Brooklyn suggested a snowball fight between neighborhood/burrows and everyone accepted the challenge. I think the number that showed up was around 50. It started with innocent snowball throwing, then multi player invasions, sneak attacks, duels, and then battle of the sexes. One of the most fun nights (I probably say that a lot when it comes to my friends) and hilariously entertaining. Of course I was too competitive tonight to take any pics so I'll have to wait for my friends to upload their pics. Eric snapped this pic mid- mayhem.

Off for a hot shower and warm clothes to rock myself to sleep!!!

Men's Styling: Magician and Musician

First off, excuse my hack job at photo shop!!! A couple of weeks ago I worked with Eric on a few shoots with magician Joshua Jay and musician Zach Williams. Lately I have been doing a lot more men's styling. I've started to learn all the options available to men, ways to accessorize and highlight attributes just by paying close attention to detail.

Who are some of your favorite men's designers? Who's style can you not get enough of?
