Fashion galore

Currently listening to The moment we were alone by Explosions in the Sky 

Brace yourselves, your in for an array of photo, a  profuse amount of photos I should say...

So a few weeks ago I had the pleasure of working with the very talented ladies from Parlour Salon, U street, Dc. I got to capture the beauty of hair, makeup, and clothes with my little cambam. After hours of prepping we headed out on the streets of  DC to scout out for some neat backdrops to complement each outfit. Running around U street taking pictures, I was just so fascinated how all the streets were covered with so many unique and interesting elements. I would love love love to do another shoot on these streets, probably when it gets warmer, hopefully soon! Okay back to fashion aspect of the shoot...so all throughout the afternoon these gorgeous ladies got to pose and flaunt different styles. I was completely smitten by every outfit in this shoot, oh how I wish I had them all to myself! Overall it was a versatile fashion shoot,  from the timeless classic look to the urban street style, each and every look was exceptionally trendy and bold. Bravo to all the stylist who made these girls look fab from head to toe, they truly pieced together a work of art. Scroll down and see for yourself...enjoy!

Last November, I had the pleasure of working with a few of my close classmates from cosmetology school, you know, doing hair and all that jazz. Boy was it great to actually work side by side with these ladies after a few months of not seeing their pretty faces. After graduating at Graham Webb in August, my connections with my classmates/friends became oh so distant, so basically is was a joyous reunion. Anyways we had the awesome opportunity to work backstage styling hair and doing makeup for the F.A.C.E.S models. 

I didnt take as much photos as I intended to cause we didn't really have the best seats to be taking quality photos, but anyways i just wanted to rant about one of the designers whose magnificent designs were showcased at F.A.C.E.S. Unfortunately you cant really see the details of the dresses displayed in my  photos but let me tell you, her designs are like none like any other. Kalai Kai designs are unique in such a way where the dresses are beautifully and intricately detailed and inspired by the traditional Filipino cultural dresses. The dresses display a modern and elegant, but a fun style. Take a closer look at Kalai Kai designs on her website. 
So I'll end here, I know this post is extremely late, but hey better late than never. I'm off to take a nap and rest these tired eyes. Toodles

Tribal Theme

currently listening to Float  by Erin Mckeown 

Last month I had quite the crafty spree, working with a flood of colorful feathers and plenty of suede. I constructed individual tribal head pieces which were used for a friend's themed birthday party. I know Halloween is over and done with this year but these feathered headbands are such fun pieces, that I would wear em every now and then, well the less extravagant ones of course. Unfortunately for this post I cant put together a tutorial, but i'll post some pictures of the finished pieces, and hopefully  it will set a heap of creative ideas and inspiration.

I'LL leave you guys with a bunch of pictures from Laya's birthday party (L.Event). This party was just not any ordinary birthday party. It was beautifully filled with amazing performances(singing&spoken word), face/body paint, tribal wear, and just wonderful people. I'm sure it was a unforgettable event for everyone.
