Over the last few days I have begun the dreaded process of packing, not packing for an exciting Spring break vacation to a wildly fun destination, but rather packing room by room, cabinet by cabinet and drawer by drawer every little bit of stuff that has accumulated in my house for the last ten years. [...]

This weekend I did something completely uncharacteristic; I actually spent an entire Saturday doing “springtime in AZ” things. One of which was a Mariners Spring Training game… tragically they lost, but just being in the sunshine at the ball park, eating peanuts, drinking lemonade and a soft pretzel or two and I was in [...]

A strange thing happened on the way to growing up (aka getting older) it called thinning hair. Did you know that on average by the time a woman reaches her forties her hair has often thinned by half of what it was in her twenties? So this leads me to my latest hair obsession [...]

I am absolutely loving the nomad/tribal look of Spring. I don’t know if it’s the idea of an urban vagabond or the bright colors that I never wear but something in this crissed and crossed combination of elements makes me want to wear patterns and prints and all assortments of tribal jewelry. [...]

Even though the weather has been rather fickle, one day warm and the next day under seventy degrees don’t let it discourage you from donning the latest Spring trends. Even if like me you can’t afford to ring up a six figure receipt at the mall try some of my favorite accessories that add [...]

Everywhere I go I feel like I am reliving the 80’s. Just yesterday one of our AFM models arrived wearing a Madonna tee shirt purchased at Forever 21. While we talked about all the 80’s music that she loved I mentioned to her that I had the exact tee shirt when Madonna did [...]

It seems lately that every young twenty-something photographer I meet is obsessed 80’s music, but strangely not the cool, cutting edge music that we all loved so much…the very same tunes that defined the era, but rather the overplayed top forty stuff turned Muzac in our fav fast food chains. Though I am [...]

I can’t deny my love of long dresses. Yes, I am petite and wearing an ankle length dress isn’t necessarily a height builder but, there is nothing more easy and comfortable than throwing on one darling piece and out the door you go. Fashion naysayers said that it was “over” death to [...]

It’s fairly obvious to anyone who knows me that I don’t tend to invite in a lot of color into my wardrobe. In the 80’s I wore loads of color and proudly. Then after a stint in beauty school where we were forced to wear nothing but black and white suddenly my wardrobe [...]

There was a time in the early 80’s when it was considered au tre’chic to show your roots. Whether you were an original punk princess, a Madonna wannabe, or just a club hound. The trend has come back incarnate in today’s urban jungle but oft is found on the heads of babes from [...]
