Just a week or so ago I was doing makeup on a shoot with a separate very young and enthusiastic fashion stylist. The theme of the shoot was loosely Park Avenue Princesses springtime looks, It started off well enough but when little Miss fashion star dragged out a very over-styled floral outfit I [...]

The birds are chirping and the sun is shining! A lovely day once again which means sports fans that we are ready to gear up for the city’s festivities, namely the WM Phoenix Open. Apologies, but I just can’t bear to use the name Waste Management (sponsor or not) over and over [...]

It always happens around this time of year, the daytime temps are warm enough to want to test drive the latest Spring looks but it’s also just cold enough morning and evening to stay in your tights and boots. Though I didn’t set any resolutions earlier this month, surely my [...]

This week I have been spending some time in SoCal on a photo shoot and it’s given me plenty of time to observe the natives in all sorts of ritual forms of dress. From weddings, to cocktails, to work day and shopping the sense of casual vibe comes through in all forms.

Well we are just 48 hours away from All Hallows Eve and as I have mentioned previously, aside from providing a bit of face paint for clients and friends rarely do I ever dress up. Maybe it has something to do with my own personal costume horrors in the formative years. Most [...]
