Shoes shoes shoes..............

My boss Nat told me about these 2 websites last night-

http://www.makemechic.com/

http://www.urbanog.com/

And there are some great finds for really cheap- My fave are-

http://www.urbanog.com/product_115_6025.html/   .....LOVE THESE!!!!!! In cream!!!!!!!!

http://www.urbanog.com/Madrid-01-Mesh-Lace-Up-Bootie_116_6203.html (unfortunately all out of 7's!!)
 
http://www.urbanog.com/Wild-Diva-Posen-01A-Almond-Toe-Pump_112_6546.html (could be tacky- but paired with the right outfit i think these would be really cute!!)
 
http://www.makemechic.com/p-23871-system191-striped-platform-pump-black-white.aspx
 
...Not that I imagine they last long....

NB- The funny thing is they both have some of the same shoes, so you have to look on both to see who has them cheaper- makemechic seems to win tho, they also sport the same shoes as other stores like Charlotte Russe- I spotted a pair I paid in the $20's for, for 15$!!!! 

PS also on the shoes subject I bought my Steve Madden fave shoes that will make me huuummm 5'8 on amazon for $75 after tax, free shipping, in comparison to $90 before tax and shipping on the Steve Madden site!  Id seen them in Adorna Bella when I persuaded a customer to whip them out, esp when i heard they were on sale in Macy's, unfortunately I didn't act quick enough, then former guess model Dore Daubin had them too- so i was sold- FYI Ive never ordered off Amazon before...........

Behind the scenes of the Rose Garden Shoot

This is the RoseGarden that I shot at In Santa Clara this thursday.................

Photog- Novi

Model- Ford London @ Ford 

The Edited pics coming soon.............

Shooting VERY close to home..........



Just over a week ago I shot with photographer Genisis, and model Beckysue who I shot with before out on Treasure Island.

We divided the shoot up into two parts, we did a 70s style outfit on the Rooftop of my building- which yes Is not allowed, and then the second part two blocks away at the gorgeous Grace cathedral, both locations Id wanted to shoot at for ages, because there's a really good view from our roof, and I thought it would be a nice memory of our building when we leave ... I spent the entire part of the shoot running up and down the stairs to make sure no-one took the pearl and gold chain necklace of the door, which was the only thing stopping us from being locked up there for good ........As for the other location, I stumbled upon Grace Cathedral one day when I was trying to take a shortcut home from work (which ended up being the worst idea ever- the hill I had to walk up was 4 times as steep as the hill I was trying to aviod) however on the upside I found the Cathedral which Is truly stunning, and a gorgeous little park for me to sunbath in...(which judging by today's weather I wont be visiting for a while)

Anyways I love how the shoot turned out, Becky is so much fun to be around, seriously, getting ready (we had no Mua and Hair) was like getting ready to go out for the night- except of course it was actually 9am! I have wanted to shoot those trousers for forever! They are my Favourite pair, that I bought In Thailand for a small fortune in Thai terms, and I rarely get to wear them as Im so worried they will be ruined due to the light material and the white pattern........

The dress is a $150 H&M dress that Becky scored for $10- Ooooh I love bargains!!!

SWIMS OUT......


Hey.....

Summers coming so.... swimsuits are back!!!

Heres the pics from the latest shoot, with MacKensie from LA, shes awsome, for one thing esp, ... not winging!!! It was lashing rain and soooo windy, prob the worst weather ive been out in In San Fran!! I was freezing myself and i was fully clothed, this poor girl had a see thru one-piece on!! We shot out in Half Moon Bay, we didnt have the heart to get her in the freezing cold water that was crashing into the beach, so she went and showered in the hot water and then ran out and they shot by the water, we were shaking whilst trying to put the quarters into shower!! I'm not kidding, Ive never seen anyone's legs so purple!!! ;) And it was actually prob worse to shock her body by being freezing, then hot, then freezing!!!

On the upside it was the quickest shoot ever ;)

The photog was Novi.....






ADORNED....

So I just started working in this jewelry store in North beach! Love that neighborhood, wish I lived there, Anyways the store is sooo cute, I love the layout, stacks of bracelets, neclaces layered up, pendants, chains, nuckledusters, earings... The owner is really cool, and so stylish, she has really good taste.....

Heres the website..... www.adornabella.com

They also have bags, the latest designer i love - Bryna Nicole, shes been featured in so many magazines, including Lucky, Allure, Elle, and people..... Best part is that they are practical, (not that that usually sells me- but I love things that can we worn many different ways) all the big bags fold over in half and the little clutches have a detail on the front that you can put your hand between as a handle,

Here's her website...... (check out the press and collection pages)..........
