Awesome film photos taken at the end of December, just a normal day dropping Big Sis Jane off at LAX for another trip to London. Brought Ron Alan along because Jane does not trust my driving. Roaming around the airport trying to find an exit to the parking garage= Paparazzi like photos? Farewell Orangutan colored hair! It was time to say goodbye and dye it back to my almost natural hair color. Yes I am fully aware my hair will probably fall out from all the chemical damage I have done. Perming and bleaching=Nappy not so happy hair. Must calm down with the on-going experimentation.

Kate Bosworth- Nylon Magazine

(Missoni, D&G,Giles, Proenza Schouler, Jewelmint, Topshop, Isabel Marant, Chanel, Fendi, Moshchino, Kenzo, Custo Barcelona, Roberto Cavalli) labels worn

The mail came and brought me this glorious issue of Nylon Magazine, a beam of light beckoned to me from behind the copy. I immediately flipped to Kate Bosworth's editorial...Pretty sure I had a big pile of drool after analyzing every single outfit, Kudos Cher Coulter on the styling! Kate Bosworth's looks were amazing from head to toe. The messy boho braids, the mixing of prints meshing together, the layering, the stacking of jewelery, the flowy silhouettes and bright colors had me dazed and confused. How can one love every single article of clothing?! If you haven't yet get your March '11 issue of Nylon each page was pouring with great designer features and trends. Super refreshing and inspired for this spring season!

Incognito in my Obey scarecrow hat..This hat has got to be the most packing friendly hat I own. Into my luggage it goes when packing it never loses it's structure. Thanks to Ayee and her mother for getting rid of a variety of her old high waisted denim shorts, these vintage L.E.I's being one of them. I turned these shorts into a D.I.Y. project. First I cut the cuffs and fringed it up...Then took a seam ripper and made a distressed patch. The end result Jo-wearable vintage L.E.I's revamped! I love taking old things and making them new again.

The Case of the Naps

My farewell to Christmas and the holidays...Oh wait it's already February! The months come and go way to fast...I usually gravitate towards all things Native American inspired like this jacket that I stole from Big Sis Jane's closet...The perks of having not one but two sister's closets to raid...The perm does not want to be tamed...But no need to panic when my hair has a nappy attack due to the outrageous perm I bun it up!

They're probably having the case of the napppy hair bun!

Full Fashion Story on Light Meets Night


Final Product of the Photo shoot leaves me blown away with the turn out! For these looks we wanted to mix pretty with edge. When I think pretty this beautiful cream dress designed and created by my bestie TRIXIE comes to mind. The Vince Camuto wedge boots played the part of edge topped with the dark plum lipstick. I'm drawn to all things hippie and bohemian, this vintage lace dress was perfect, accessorized with all my favorite vintage jewelery pieces, worn with combat boots for the edgy touch. Melissa informed me that these photos would be featured on the website Light Meets Night, an online magazine blog based in Los Angeles where Melissa contributes her works of art, this editorial being one of the many. Check out my feature on Light Meet Night, you'll find yourself drawn to their articles on art&culture and teleporting to another planet hypnotized by their great selection of music features!
