Beautiful

I appreciate the textiles of the Hmong and Southeast Asia….the intricate details and designs and hard-work of stitching that goes into it…The colours are just amazingly outstanding. 

One day, I hope to make/stitch my own Hmong inspired pattern…

Hip-Hip HOORAY!

I purchased VOGUE’s Special Edition ‘Best Dressed’ publication while at the store today - spent $10 on this baby! Seriously, the only reason why I bought this was because my favorite fashion icons/idols MKA were on the cover, haha. I’m not supporting VOGUE (I don’t even read VOGUE), just support the girls who made it on the cover ;) 

This is probably the BEST investment I made for a publication that is basically like a book. I LOVE ITTTT! <3

 

I’m HUGE love of GIRAFFES; they have such pretty eyes and they’re animal print is pretty cool =) 

My Eddie-Love still needs to get me my life-size Giraffe though since he wouldn’t win me one at MN State Fair ):

Stay Strong

A surprise Visit :)

Older Sister came to visit me and took me out to eat at Tiger Sushi with her =) 

Thanks Sis. Loooove you! <3

Behind-the-Scenes Photos from the Nina Bouphasavanh Photo Shoot

Sunday, the 25th was a big and exciting day for STYL as well as myself.  Thanks to Kevin Kamin of Studio Gata, we had the opportunity to style for owner/found of Phavanna Media, Nina Bouphasavanh, in celebration of her 30th year.

She was absolutely a gem to work with! Over all, we had so much fun being a part of this. The crew, in which consisted of, the Krystyana who was the Make-up/Hair-stylist, Kevin as the photographer, and his assistant Erin, were all great! 

Here a few behind-the-scene photo's that were taken while at the shoot. STYL and I cannot wait to see the finalize photographs!

Peter-Pan Collars

This year, I have fallen in-love with the mens inspired peter-pan collars! They make such a great fashion statement :)
This one here is embellished as you can see with, with pearls. So pretty :)
