Melissa In Montana

(click images to view full-size)

I was recently hired to do a photo shoot in Montana by a jewelry/accessory designer. His brand is Montana Turtle.  He had selected my close friend Melissa to be the model, and these are just a few images from the shoot.  Obviously, not all the images displayed below were taken for the brand; we did a lot of extra photos for fun and it was a great time! It was a fun trip to my old stomping grounds of West Yellowstone, and it was awesome to see some old friends.

que belle!

dressed to be killed?

here's a new promo video/campaign for Adam Kimmel's new line, featuring stunt-devil David Blaine. it's a pretty badass way to sell a suit in my opinion. the underwater cigar at the end is my favorite

oh cool

juuust a rad self portrait from mastermind nicola formichetti. remix of the cure is also great.

photo assignment, dos

here's my most recent photo portrait assignment of my sister eve. she liked the pictures i took of my sister ruth earlier and couldn't wait for me to do a shoot with her haha. she was such a natural! i had fifteen minutes to throw something together before we celebrated my mother's birthday dinner. here's four of only 20 pictures i took. she's wearing a ralph lauren night gown and a vintage pea coat we got in england.

STeyeL

just ordered these awesome things... among a kajillion other items.. give me a credit card and wifi at night and i will wreak havoc.

also for those of you who mindlessly check The Sartorialist like i do, you'll have seen the recent post on the up-and-coming designer Andrea Pompilio --it's A+ stuff. real neat like. CLICK HERE to view his pdf lookbook

i also took a liking to this military inspired editorial "before the fall" by the new-birthed VMAN magazine

SHOP:Consignment

 

   I've always been a little weary of consignment store shopping.  Something about wearing other people's old clothes.. I dunno. But after a trip a couple weeks ago, I think I was converted. These two items are just a few of my great finds. The 80's style wool flannel shirt on the left: $7.00.  And the nordstrom-brand leather bomber jacket on the right: $28.99! It's probably from the 80's, but still in great condition, and was probably around $500 in it's time. Lucky find, lucky find..

dear Santa

VMA'S

  

 in la @ the vma's, the only person really worth noting, Gaga dressed in mcqueen

  and for those of you that haven't yet seen or heard about this juicy little outfit -Gaga branched away from the traditional fabric aesthetic to an equally raw, but less conventional one. I think she rocked it.

awesome

eh.. i just spent $200.. this website is becoming a problem for me. but i figured that i've spent hardly any money at all this summer so i deserve a reward. plus with the great deals i got, i technically saved $200 -so there's really no need for me to feel guilty at all. money is only put to use if it's spent. that's how i see it at least

NEWvaux

"hey those are some pretty kick-A shoes," i can hear you say. thanks i know. i ordered these off of Gilt.com for $35 (down from $120) about a month and a half ago and today they finally arrived. considering my monotonous life of house-keeping and hosting at a pizzeria, it was like christmas.
and i also came across this song today which, apart from being a really good song and music video, is pretty relevant:

Y-3

i probably wouldn't mind wearing anything by this brand. plus it's a pretty sick ad
