What I'm Wearing
* Miguelina silk gray dress from GILT ...seen here in the Summer. I was actually looking forward to wearing this dress with layers for Winter. {worn over a simple black thin turtleneck, a must-have basic for every woman's wardrobe ;}
* Vintage coat ...found years ago at the Melrose/Fairfax Flea Market for $30 ...I remember hesitating and almost didn't buy it but when I put it on and it fit like a glove it was a done deal. I wear it every Winter. I think it's a vintage pea coat or woman's military/utilitarian kind of coat. It's perfect though. ...seen here also seen here
* American Apparel grid patterned stockings
* Sam Edelman Queenie boot. I will always kick myself for buying these a half size too big but at least they are comfy
* Vintage Gucci bag, Tom Ford cat eye sunglasses - Back in Stock & on sale at Amazon!
* Hair: curled with the iron ...perfect wave video {which I may redo soon}

Today was one of those days where everything just worked ...and that included my outfit shoot and location shots. Thus, the MAJOR editing FAIL. Some days I take 20 shots and literally 3 come out good. Some days I take 20 shots and every single one is usable in some way or another. It makes editing them a bitch actually because there are so many but it's nice when things are good instead of bad, right? So who's complaining? Not me.

The building shots are in Century City ...and the rest are Beverly Hills residential. I'm always afraid by the time I leave work at 4pm the lighting is going to be horrendous and I won't get a good shot. So I took some in the middle of the day and those ended up being the darker of the two ...so weird. But the buildings mimicked my stockings in a way I wasn't anticipating.

hey listen, you always look amazing in your photos and your hair and accessories are always spot on as with the rest of your style. So please don't be offended when I tell you that if you're self conscience about your calves, I wouldn't suggest wearing those tights. all the focus goes to your legs which are hot, but also show every curve. every curve is then accentuated by the grid pattern. I think you look super fine in the outfit, but I wouldn't put those tights on my tummy either, ya dig?

TK Kerouac said...

sexy tights and boots
Do people every watch you or ask you what you are doing when you set up those timed shots?
I'd imagine after awhile you wouldn't care much what people think anyway...
its all in the name of creativity.

Amy said...

positively love those stockings!

Kat said...

I definitely agree with how the building mimics your tights... I was thinking that and then read on and I saw you noticed it as well... The only thing I hate about some patterned tights (if they have vertical lines) is keeping them straight, but the look is most often usually worth it.

HauteLook has Tom Ford sunglasses right now. When I saw them on there I thought of you.
