Im loving at natural look with a neon eyeliner makeup for summer! The perfect beachy pool fun look without looking too made up or feeling like your a melting pancake in the sun! The perfect pop of color!

Will you be rocking this look at all?

Loving this video from Rebecca & Fiona! Barbies gone bad... just watch it!

THOUGHTS?

I feel like I haven't sat down and written one of these in so long! Saying I have been busy would be an under statement. We are currently in an astrology zone where people either get it or they don't. If you continue to do the same things that never work and expect a different outcome your never going to grow. You have to address problems and it they can't be fixed you have to move on. You can't polish a pile of dirt forever and expect it to grow flowers unless you plant the seed. Probably has a lot to do with the eclipse and dark moon. Im starting cupping and accupuncture again next week... kinda scared. I always have out of body experiences during the sessions, not my favorite feelings ever.

Next week im shooting another cover story and editorial for a magazine, im pretty exicited about it! I need to start getting my mood boards and style pulls together. I don't think most people realize I art direct and style 99% of all my shoots. It's kinda a lot of work but I love that im in control of my image! Putting some finishing touches on the books. They are going to be well worth the wait. My friend said something that made me wake up in my own reality, she told me I keep thinking I need people around but I only need myself and im using everyone else as a crutch and excuse of why im not where I want to be. Kinda made me mad for a second but there is truth behind that. Don't ever lose your independance, don't wait on other people sometimes you have to draw a line and jump! No one will ever care about you and your path as much as you do!

Meeting with a programmer this week about my fashion virtual empire project im embarking on. I can't say much about it now but lets just say it's going to be big! I wish I could give you guys a date for the new Spring 2012 collections, they are still in production, im hoping they will be up for you to buy within the next few weeks! I already got my Coco De Coeur hat samples and they are looking pretty rad! Thursday im shooting some of my old clothes from shoots and editorials for Audrey's Closet. Basically a virtual pop up shop for you guys, think of it as a online yard sale! Thursday night im going to a Chakra yoga and the 5 tibetan healing rites class that im looking forward too. I will make sure to keep you posted on my next weeks adventures!

1. I decided to be a Designer, Fashion Journalist because growing up I was always playing dress up and creating clothes as far back as I could remember. Fashion has always been a huge part of my life. It just naturally happened I didn’t even plan for it. I never went to college or design school, I actually went to an Aveda Beauty & Wellness institute. I thought I was going to be a hair stylist but I guess the universe had different plans for me!

2. I still remember, the first magazine that made an impression on me as a kid it would have to be a mix between the mens magazine Stuff and Teen Vogue. I had older brothers and I would always sneak into their room to read Stuff magazine. It had sex, dating and life advice plus hot girls I dreamed of growing up to look like! I use to cut out all the photos in Teen Vogue and make strange collages and scrap books with them. I have a fond memory of taping cat and dog faces over models. Basically you would have these kitten and puppies with killer bodies… yeah weird I don’t know either.

3. My high school years involved a lot of feeling like shit, being upset and hoping there was more to life. I actually got kicked out of high school in 11th grade (thank god). I come from a sorta strict family who took school very serious. I would of NEVER been able to drop out so I had to take it in my own hands. Don’t regret a minute of it. Skrew kids they are assholes!

4. Now I get to work on on awesome things everyday. I get to play with clothing, makeup and create inspiring content as well as make the clothing of my dreams. I actually deal with A LOT of business not so fun and glamourous things as well, those aren’t so fun to talk about!
5. I have a crush on Ryan

5. I have a crush on Ryan Gosling & Zac Efron… go head judge me.

6. I now live in NYC, LA and Philly… I hope around a lot depending on work and my family is in Philly. Currently im in NYC though!

I can't get enough. All I want to do is mix and match crazy floral and geo prints and create insane outfits. These are so beautiful and edgy without even trying.

Mix Match Print for Spring/Summer YAY or NAY?

I shot an editorial promo inspired by Snow White and The Huntsmen, I went for the dark sultry look with lots of chain link and metals! I love how it turned out, that movie seems like the perfect fashion inspiration!

Check out the entire editorial HERE!!!

Which is your favorite look from the shoot?

I recently did a shoot and interview for UK magazine Vanity! Love how fun the images turned out! I did all the styling, hair and makeup for this shoot.  I used green hair spray to give myself the mermaid look.

I hope it's big enough for you guys to read?

When I first heard about the color run all I could think is how and when can I sign up! The Color Run is a 5k charity walk/job/crawl/run that tarvels around the USA. You start in all white clothing and as you reach each mile you get a different color of magical all natural colored powder thrown on you. By the end you a huge rainbow mess!

Im hoping to do the NYC and Philly ones depending on my work schedual. You have to sing up fast though they do sell out!
