Flashback Shoot w. DJ Taradactyl

recently a girl friend and fellow Darlin of Sorry,Darlin-Tara AKA DJ Taradactyl and i collaborated on a mini shoot for a feature she is getting in CommonCreativ ATL. though it was a very last minute rendezvous we both really like the outcome.
plus, shooting such a pretty gal made my job easy peasy:

Savannah said this looked like a Nasty Gal photo, this made me SMILE.
Tara_2
a natural right?
this last one is my favorite, she is too darlin!
will post the article when it’s out AND she’s using it for an ad too so that’ll be coming as well. you have no idea how happy all this makes me in addition to getting in 944 mag for a different set of photos-2 publications in one month, pinch me! the same month that happens to be my “Golden Birthday” is even more special. i’ll be turning 25 on the 25th of this month. and boy is it hitting me.hard. not that im freaking out about the age but just wanting to step up to the responsibilities of “adult hood” and maturity..yada yada yada-but im totally digging it.
before all the birthday celebrations begin i have a jam packed month as i’ll also be going to Nashville next weekend for a bachelorette party and the next week hitting up SD, California for an 8-day vacation with my sweety. needless to say March is going to be fabulous!

vintage, OH MY!

my good friend and vintage shop owner, Savannah and i have shot some vintage clothing over the past weeks for her store-EBV-and although many auctions have ended a few goodies are still left! i’ve picked some of my favorites,

see-through skirt, i can dig it! with a bodysuit of course.
how do you like our styling??
most shoes are mine, and accessories are about split. i am always satisfied with Savannah and my brains put together-we are a good fashion team :))
once the temperature is above ICEBERG we plan to get on the ball with tons more-stay tuned and keep a look out on auctions over at EBV

//TOKION//

well HELLO october

and hello to You All!
TCover
!!meet Tokion!!
a photo filled publication originally started as a cultural bridge between japan && the USofA by two americans living in japan.
the description is best put by the magazine themselves:

TOKION is an arts and culture magazine that reports from the street level where the creative community lives and thrives. Always willing to take a chance and try something new, TOKION goes inside the world of the contemporary artists, musicians and designers who are pushing boundaries and shaping the way we see the world. With its world-class photography and cutting-edge design, the magazine provides a one-of-a-kind platform for the emerging stars and the established icons of art, design, fashion, music and film to present their unfiltered visions to an audience of cultural messengers.


i took the time, and a lot of time at that ((!!!)) to scan in some of my favorite photos and will be sharing them here with you! here is just a few of some of the beautiful photos from the lovely magazine////

all about some oxfords and ked-like shoes these days. esp since it’s hard for me to wear heels, the oxfords are a great dressy alternative to heels.
t4
got my first ((and DEF not last)) pair of TOMS a couple months ago, they are burlap like the ones here just don’t have strips. they go with everything and are SO SO comfy! ((TOMS TIP: always get a 1/2-full size smaller, they will stretch!!))
t2
even though it’s now october, i still am able to rock some tanks living in georgia…and that’s exactly what i’ve been doing. love love love tanks, especially slouchy ones.
t3
and what’s better than a tank that’s cropped?! and one with triangles is even better, i have long been obsessed with triangles, don’t know what it is about that shape but i dig it.
t5
this article was called “WEEKEND WARRIOR” and i am def getting the warrior vibe from both the above && below photos. totally enjoying the studs and headflare.

this last editorial is really great, not only are the photos uber dreamy ((and PINK!)) but the styling is really great too. doesn’t this chick look like Alicia Silverstone??? -a prettier hip A.S….

i randomly stumbled upon this mag at a local hip gas station but i assume that some bookstores may carry. it’s only published 6 times a year so keep an eye out, it’s totes worth it! makes a great coffee table book, although i’ve been hoarding it my room constantly flipping through the pages for inspiration. oh and please excuse the poor scan quality, it was slightly bigger than my scanner and i had to hold it down each time to get it “just right” although some have some crappy shadows. check back as i will be posting many more pages!

happy happy weekend my fellow weekend warriorz!
