Yellow satin dress with black lace overlay. Classy and cute with the natural strawberry blonde do. Lets stick to that!

Loving the Balmain fitted bodice dress. I wish we could put something around her neck though. Unfinished look but great look for Kristen nonetheless.

This reminds me of the era- Women's Lib. The fashion and beauty industry were major catalysts in the transition for women in the workplace. Add some vibrance with a teal Ellie Patrick teal clutch and smokin hot red lips and nails.

Six inch metallic heels by Brian Atwood and a lovely embellished shoulder Marchesa cocktail mini. Classy & Stylish.

#1 Fav Look!!! Slightly biased because I love Catherine Maladrino. But the loose locks and long ivory brocade is completely Nirvana Style.

I love Herve Leger. But honey could it have killed ya to wear a strapless for support. Suck in, Stick out! At least the shoes were a winner.

Totally reminded me of Marilyn Monroe with a southern bell twist. An embroidered cocktail dress with satin Giuseppe's. Lovely.

Animal print is definitely a trend on the red carpet.

I just threw up paisley. How about a thick belt around the waist to break up that print?... much better.

When you dress age-appropriate, you'll always look fantastic and 10 years younger (on left). But a dress thats too short (on right) or showing too much skin on a woman over 30, can leave one looking... Ill let you fill in the blank.

Lil Mama in Sheri Hill & glitter platform boots

What happened to the urban hipster style? Thumbs up for an enhanced look. Thumbs down for no originality. To each his own, but self-expression is always the way to go. Be your own person!

Calling ALL Photographers, MUAs, Hair Stylists, Manicurists, Interns

I am looking to build a full-on production team (photographers, videographers, hair, make-up, wardrobe assistants, set designers, manicurists) for test shoots, short video editorials and magazine submissions.

Objective of Production Team

The main objective is to create and style outstanding test shots and fashion editorial videos that have the quality to be published digitally or printed. As a result, creating strong, dynamic portfolios that include tear sheets.

Vision of Production Team

My vision for this production team is to be able to not only create great collaborative work for our ports but to also build a camraderie amongst each other and refer one another when compensated work opportunities presents itself. With everyone combining their experiences, we can catapult ourselves to the next level of our careers. I'd like the team to function as though we are a legitimate business group.

By this, we would conduct production meetings for projects of equal quality to the work of production teams that are hired at fashion publications,

plan quality projects in advance (not just a week before actual shoot date), create a presence by pitching projects to editors for digital and print submissions, communicating on a frequent basis while a project is in effect, putting together all our experiences and resources to transcend the typical amateur portfolio.

With all this said and done, we will in turn be an established, legitimate resource for networks in our profession.

As of now, I am looking to set up a one on one meeting or call with you to discuss the overall direction of the team, your port and career aspirations and vice versa. Please include your contact info, link to your portfolio, and your availability in the month of June. Thanks.

Peace, Love, Chic
