Paris Yo...

I went to PARIS in late april to shoot some fashion stories with my friend  

 Michael Schmidt.  He is an amazing Fashion Photographer.

We went just the 2 of us with no plan but to shoot as many girls as we could in 7 days.

I brought all of the clothes of this adventure as we were having a hard time finding stylist,

and the experience was one of the best in my life.  

Here  are a few of my favorites  of Monika.  We shot her in Montmartre, north paris in the 18 arrondissement. Dali, Van Gogh, and Picasso all had studios in this artist village and it is also where the amazing Sacre Coeur is located.

Great New body scrub...

I love this new scrub, my favorite of these is the

(lightly scented) Espresso Chocolate.

$16 available at sephora.com

  

RICKYS NYC...

RICKYS is one of my favorite places to hit when I'm in New York.

Its a candy land of hair and  makeup products and accessories.

Just discovered that they are selling online...

My favorites are there travel bags!

"Heart Light"

Turn on your heartlight Let it shine wherever you go Let it make a happy glow For all the world to see...

On my last day in Paris I took the train up to Porte de Clignancourt,

 The largest Flea Market (in the world)! I saw so many pretty things I wanted to take with me but my suitcase was already not closing

I took pictures of them instead! No one who knows me could believe I left Paris empty handed, 

But my memory card was full.

EVERY GIRL SHOULD HAVE ONE...

This is the one "beauty must have" we believe in!

It's a girls best friend and paired with a great mascara,

you are unstoppable!!

Available at sephora.com and (in store)

runs under $20.00 and should be replaced every 3-4 months. 

 why? 

It loses its resistance and gives a weak curl.

Didn't believe it til I compared the old with the new.

It's true.

American Idol Finals...

Here are a few fun pictures from the AI Finals! I Love the show and have been watching from the beginning, funny now that I get to go and watch my very own American Idol perform on the show! It was a great day and What I like to call a full circle moment, since Jason and I did go to CBS studios to watch a taping in the justin and Kelly era! Jason is wearing a Blend Apparel shirt.

PARIS...

Spring PICK me up...

While Cruising the isle at my local drug store looking for a cheap fix, I came across two new makeup favorites! The Beauty isle is My drug of choice... Tips to apply liquid liner: Start by first lining your lash line with a pencil, this will give you a guide line to follow. then go over with your liquid liner and have a Q-TIP close for a quick clean up. The Look is Very Sixties, Very feminine and very wearable.

ANTM

I shot a Top model this week! Elina from cycle 11. Randall (slavin) and I were obsessed with this girl on the show, even when Trya gave her that red curly weave, she stilled rocked it. Elina was one of the most beautiful girls they have had on that show and she has been working 2 waitress jobs in seattle, shooting a catalog here and there! Just goes to show reality TV doesn't always make you famous! But NOW...she's back in LA, testing and starting fresh. (she has removed all the top model shoots in her book) and going to be big! Here are a few of the shots..
