A touch of Jade

I was on the phone outside my work the other day when a lovely street style photog, Steffen Hedlund, came up and snapped a few photos of my outfit. I must say, it's always refreshing (even when you devote your entire life to fashion and trends) when someone takes time out of their day to come up and tell you they love what you're wearing. Unfortunately, I was in the middle of an important phone conversation so I tried to give a look while multi-tasking. End result? I think my pout came out a little angry, but I'm still loving my all black ensemble w/ a touch of color from the jewel toned fur stole.<--She has quickly became my BFF. And transitions so well from day to night..I've recently been throwing it on over everything. Not to mention it looks like crushed velvet in the sun. *melts*

Lately, I've been looking to some of my favorite hip hop icon's of the 90's for inspiration. What can I say? Whats not to love? With a mix of street style, cultural influence, and personal flare..it quickly caught on and has FINALLY been recognized almost 20 years later for how genius it really was. Fashion in the 90's was super flamboyant and is definitely a representative element of my style. 

Take note!

It wasn't just another decade, but a legendary era...

Get into it!

On my latest trip back west to LA, I met up with street style photog, EvaLotta Danforth of HiStyley, for a mini photo-shoot of a few looks I'm wearing at the moment and an interview! She's doing a new segment highlighting underground stylists in and around the fashion industry. I was more then pleased to take up the offer! So great working with her! She's so inspired by everything around her, and it's a great energy to collaborate with...
