Hello, Spring!

On Saturday while Farzad and I were walking out of lunch, I mentioned the sun was scorching. Keep in mind, it's only the first week of April...but I'll take it!

On that note, the April issue of The Stanton Magazine launched today. I made these flower halos thanks to easy DIY instructions on Honestly WTF's site. We had a lot of fun shooting in front of this cherry blossom tree. To view the complete post, click here.

The Right Kind of Flare

I've always been a fan of a high-waisted, flared pant and I love that we're seeing it a lot these days with the 70's-inspired trends. My friend, Amanda P. sent me the picture in the middle...Isn't that gorgeous? The last one is by Australian brand, Ladakh.

Rodarte's Solo

What a six years it's been for the Mulleavy sisters since debuting their crazy-genius line, Rodarte. They launched their brand, everyone loved it, partnered up with MAC for a Juarez-themed line (uhh...that didn't go so well), created costumes for award-winning Black Swan, everyone loved that, and now they've got an exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Los Angeles. I'd love to get a close-up of those ballerina costumes. More about the exhibit here.

Vivid Neoclassical Pleasantries

I'm in search of the perfect decor for a fun project we've got coming up (details soon!) I saw this nice spread in the May issue of AC and loved it! Pinks, golds, purples, neoclassical figures and stripes are all played out in a very mature way; this is a flat in Paris, by the way...go figure. I love it, what are your thoughts on this style?
