behind the scenes with free people

i just got back from styling free people's april 2012 catalog and wanted to share some of the behind the scene photos with you! we shot with up and coming photographer, thomas northcut, and headed to the desert of joshua tree. i loved working with all of the models on this shoot. it was an amazing one week experience.

here's what i brought... lots of layers, floral sunglasses, comfy docs for running around, and a book to read during the plane rides.

we stayed in palm springs and then headed to the desert every morning

so long, palm springs! until next time california! xo

somewhere unknown

i got some nail art today. i was inspired by the nail art in the spring runway shows and have always been enamored of the evil eye. i believe in its protection by watching over you. i think they turned out really well.

let the sugar skulls dance

this past weekend my friend threw a joint birthday party for me and two other scorpios. it was a day of the dead themed birthday party filled with sugar skulls, home made margaritas, catered tacos, mexican chocolate cupcakes, great music, and a pinata!! the night was perfect and beautiful.











thank you to my sweet friend, doub!

january catalog shoot: L.A.

free people just got back from our january catalog shoot with model jessica hart!photographer chrissy piper shot the l.a. portion of the book. we can't wait for the catalog to drop in january along with the new york portion of the book, shot by guy aroch! here are some of our daily musings and behind the scenes in los angeles.

wrap party

so we ended the december catalog shoot with a traditional greek toga party. i think getting ready was actually more fun than the actual party.


we were lucky enough to have the make up artist, deana hagen, and hair stylist, patrice delaroche, help get us all dolled up!









it was the perfect way to end free people's december catalog shoot!
