THE PLANET SAYS,

this is good news for Massachusetts. and for the world. found HERE.

depending on the size, sales and number of locations, certain retailers will be required to offer bags that are made of a compostable plastic ONLY. great idea, eh?!

for those of us who don't live in this clever state, break out your cloth totes! they're much easier to carry anyway.

JUST A LITTLE SHIFT

ok so, i've been the in-house merchandiser for American Apparel's flagship in Miami for almost a year now. oh, how the time has flown! i love being a part of AA's visual team and also how the snap-shots of my work from there really brightens up my blog posts but - i need to start sorting things, getting a bit more organized around here. 

so from now on, everything AA will be posted on my behance portfolio site, right HERE! 

STYLE - 4 - TWO OUTFITS

 

 

i love both of these looks, it's hard for me to choose...

not to mention their photography is on point as well. i love the white background + simple poses + minimal prop + gorgeous apparel. well done i say!

their blog is very nice to look at as well. right HERE.

A BEAUTY NAMED - ART & HUSTLE MAG FEATURE

see full article HERE.
photography Valerie Petralia.

this is the biggest honor and down-right coolest thing that has happened to me so far in my career as a designer, stylist or blogger. weeks ago i received a really exciting DM on twitter from Art & Hustle Magazine - wanting to know if they could ask me a few questions for their online article series called "A Beauty Named". um... of freaking course you can. i mean - obviously - i was shocked, ecstatic and borderline sick from excitement.. so i really poured my heart and soul into this interview. i wanted to be completely, 100%, cross-my-heart-hope-to-die-honest. and can you believe when i started to do that - i realized that everything i need to be happy, i already have. you can be the most original being on Earth, by just being honest with yourself.

i am so humbled and grateful for A&H's interest in me and my work and i couldn't be more thankful for God and absolutely everything He (or She) has blessed me with in my life. a much greater power is inspiring me and i'm incredibly thankful that i've been given so many blessings and opportunities.

to everyone who has influenced me and been in my life in a positive way - you are so very much loved and appreciated.

thank you, thank you, thank you.
