Video of the Moment: My First Styling Gig

I am a business major who had a major detour in the magical world of fashion. Hey, there's a business side in fashion, but it's claim to fame is its creative charm. As part of my internship in Something Creative, I assist my boss in styling photoshoots! The video above is a behind-the-scenes of what went down during the shoot. The photographer I worked with was amazing: nice, talented, and featured in Vogue Italia's PhotoVogue! And if I know my readers any better, I believe you're dying to know how tall the model was--lemme tell ya, she is almost as tall as me in flats. So pretty darn tall.

Too bad that during the semester, my small business consulting class clawed its way into my priorities so this is the only photoshoot I worked on--despite the many invitations from my boss. Stupid class! You won't have me next time (at least this is what I' like to think).

I hope you enjoy the vid!

News of the Moment: Sample Sale, Witches!

Gah, I have missed you, my dear blog! Well, enough with the niceties and all--for I have good news! If you'll be in the Los Angeles area from May 29 to June 12, Something Creative, the showroom I intern at, will be having a sample sale. See the image above for details.

If you're wondering what to expect in the sale, think jackets, dresses, tops, bottoms, handbags, accessories, and probably more (we now have European brands in the sample sale mix)! Another plus, the price range is from $10 to $200. Save the date and look fab after the Memorial Day weekend. Your boss will surely notice. I hope.

Email info@somethingcreativela.com for questions. (Hint hint: I'll be responding back to your queries so don't fear.)

Personal Rant of the Moment: My New Baby

I've been going on and off with this blog, and I feel like I'm cheating from it by, gasp, tending on my new baby. I don't think I publicized this before but I am now a blogger for my school's chapter of the American Marketing Association, The Daily MatadorAMA.

I'm not gonna leave Blah?

To give credit where credit is due, I wouldn't have done it without starting with Blah? It taught me lots about keeping my audience intact and interested. And more, such as the importance of blog rolling to make your blog super relevant.

I'm not gonna leave Blah? I'm just letting you know where I've been all this time. Infidelity or not.

News of the Moment: Raf Simons to Leave Jil Sander

Hello!

Good bye!

The beloved Raf Simons departed Jil Sander. Perhaps he'll head to Dior? Maybe Yves Saint Laurent? Who knows. I'll miss his work in Jil Sander because he elevated modern fashion to newer and newer heights every season; his shows never disappointed for sure. Well, at least we'll still have his namesake line to look forward to.

It'll be interesting how the fashion saga unravels.

In a dramatic twist of fate, Jil Sander the designer is making a third coming to Jil Sander the brand! After her successful stint at mass retailer Uniqlo, it seems Ms. Sander's return to her founding label shouldn't be overlooked. I'm anticipating what sort of minimalism she will present.

In either case, I toast both of their achievements. It will be interesting how this saga unfolds. So much breaking news in fashion lately.

Quick Vids of the Moment: Not One but Two!

You're in for a treat, folks. Prada recently released their Spring-Summer 2012 video campaign; at the same time, Marni + H&M did so too! Well, if there's anything that can beat this mighty coincidence, it's gotta be someone (ahem, ahem) buying me something neat at my most anticipated H&M collaboration to date.
