Let this be a mood board for the unabashed romantics— the ultimate fantasy of bedrooms for dreamers. Quite literally titled, the new collection Cloud Hunter by Megan Alason Pearl is the light, white, soft, sensual, flirty, feminine bedding arrangement we’ve all searched high and low for, until now finding only in our dreams. The settings below are more than an idealized lookbook;...

new friend / old school hip hop
Bonded with a new friend over our mutual love of dancing and old school hip hop! She’s not crazy about internet photos, hence the disguise, but Jessica and I, we are certainly crazy about her!

Paris continued: Dîner à deux
Often the most intimate glimpse into a foreign culture can be achieved through integration of neighborhood gems, a task which is particularly easy when all of the gems are located in your neighborhood! Residing in the trendy Le Marais, we frequented nearby boulangeries by day and in the evenings, set aside hours for extended, indulgent, often by candlelight, unabashedly romantic dinners to be...

Paris for Christmas
Tomorrow is only Christmas eve and yet today, on the 23rd of December, I can prematurely name this my favorite Christmas of all time. I am in North Carolina, and have just returned from a week in Paris (the world’s greatest and most romantic Christmas gift, from Matt) and two days spent with his family in NYC. The pictures below are just a small sampling of what I will post, as I plan to...

A North Carolina Thanksgiving
Swinging at dusk by the marsh, waiting for the oysters to steam.
Baking an apple pie, not without Bloody Marys.
Thanksgiving dinner, not without fresh caught shrimp.
The perfect hour.
The best part of the trip. <3

IMMABILLU video coming soon!
I borrowed a few of these lovely stills from director Jessica Collins who I recently collaborated with on a music video for ImmaBillU.
I have found myself looking for excuses to stop by her place to catch a quick glimpse of the editing progress. Jessica is the next big thing, you heard it here first! And so is ImmaBillU!

The Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley
So it has been a little while since I have presented the internet with my ramblings, and instead of updating with a long overdue recap, if not the thorough attention this blog clearly deserves, instead I’m opting for a short teaser. [using the word teaser incorrectly here, of course- unless in fact you are truly compelled by this recipe for tiramisu, in which case, enjoy!] Matt and I...

My new nails!
My third grade class exercised a broad curriculum with the intention of bestowing an education that was not just academically proficient, but colorful in variety of lessons learned. Often, our Ms. Ellen would gather her students to venture into a modest but carefully kept garden, where each student was given a task such as transferring a single periwinkle from its pot to the earth. Precocious...

The Quintessential Las Vegas Experience
At times I find my life to be a delicate and careful dance between avoiding and embracing.
The power of a cliche rests entirely in one’s ability to dictate its presence. As an artist, a writer, a twenty-something woman, the odds are invariably stacked in favor of moments carved away by so many before that what is left feels void of any ownership. I often find myself laughing at the...

4th of July
It seems fair that while all of my current artistic and literary ventures have yet to be disclosed, I should share instead a glimpse into the leisure that I have absolutely no choice but to partake in, if only for the sake of balance and sanity!

JLO Do It Well
In preparation for an upcoming music video I am working on, I have spent the evening sorting through my archive of reference photos. Among the beautiful images clipped for obvious aesthetic reasons and the bizarre shots whose purpose I can neither fathom nor remember storing, I occasionally come across a miscategorized gem that takes my mind from my intentions and leaves me pleasantly recalling...

new project!
Coinciding with the purchase of a brand new (very old) pedestal-farmhouse-kitchen-table, I have become absolutely obsessed with finding one of its seats to camp at for hours and diligently work until daylight becomes lamplight, and sometimes back again.
These first two months of living in Los Angeles have been a pleasant combination of reacquainting and introductions. Although it has been...

HELLO-LA
This week I returned to Los Angeles as the all-grown-up version of myself that arrived here in early June, 2007, with two gaping suitcases mostly filled with shoes. Although anticipating a two week stay and corresponding internship, those weeks quickly turned to an entire summer-turned fall semester-turned year and a half where I never left the city and frankly, never had a reason to.
Two years...

New Work by Savannah Wyatt
Savannah Wyatt sees the world through a commendable and extensive collection of cat eye glasses à la Screaming Mimis. Though I am certain every glance in her direction is deserving of a second, if something rouses her attention enough to raise the shades, take note: among Savannah’s extensive list of talents, this young designer boasts the uncanny ability to forecast what you’re...

Sarah Kinlaw
Styled this super quick in our house prior to a photo shoot with photographer Solveig Selj for Runway Passport Magazine. This felt so much more like the two of us getting ready to go out than it did dressing up for a photo shoot. Perhaps it is all just the same thing, anyway. Look at my girl!

Unsolved Mysteries
I grew up in very large house, with dark wood floors, jewel toned upholstery, and grandfather clocks. I will never forget the sound the hanging bells made as I ran through the foyer, across an Oriental rug, to the bottom of the staircase; regardless of my efforts to quiet my steps, the clock always chimed a daunting hello and its woodwork, capped with two ornate horns of wood, produced the...

Isn't elegance forgetting what one's wearing?
I have recently become acquainted with the amazing Mike Anderson. (<—— CLICK THIS LINK I’M SERIOUS!)
Below is a video shoot I wardrobe and makeup styled yesterday, (with the wonderful Ryan Dickie as DP!).
I’ll post the finished product soon, but that is all I am going to say for now. Otherwise, where is the suspense?
So far, I am loving 2010!

The Christopher Pike Book Club
At my childhood beach house, on a shelf below flip flops encrusted with sand, the entire series of Sweet Valley High novels stood carefully catalogued between two pelican book ends. Even more so than our reprimand for forgoing doormats, tracking sand and shells across newly polished floors, my sister and I were routinely scolded for our choice in fiction. These teenage dramas, frivolous...

I first met Luke Baker when I was working for David LaChapelle and at the time, living in his West Hollywood home. As a single girl occupying a three bedroom house, I was subject to entertain the occasional random guest of the studio. Without failure, each visitor posed as an opportunity for a new friendship and at the very least, an interesting number of days to follow.
To this day, Luke...
