Distressed





Zara Jeans, J Crew Blouse, Zara Shoes, PS11 Bag, J Crew Coat, Aqua Necklace via Bloomingdales, Karen Walker Sunglasses, Bracelets: Wanderlust, Hermes, L.A. Kahn Designs.
Wanted to take this opportunity to answer a few FAQ:
1. What kind of camera & lens do you use? 
Right now we mainly shoot with a Canon 60D using a Canon EF 50mm f1.4 lens.
2. Who takes your photos?
Mainly Keith (god bless that man!) and also other blogger friends like Christine, Kim & Keiko.
3. What did you study in school?
I actually got my Bachelors in Business Management, but after I graduated, I went to FIT for styling.
4. What do you do for a living?
I've been involved in some aspect of the fashion industry right out of college and now I'm working as a freelance stylist. The industry is not for everyone, but I cannot imagine doing anything else at this point in my life.
5. Where is your engagement ring from? 
Keith worked with a local jeweler to have it designed & modeled after the Tiffany Legacy ring. Without a doubt my favorite piece of jewelry I own :)

  90. I saw these Zara shoes about two months ago in the store and they were out of my size. I called multiple stores in NY and they didnt have my size. They were out of my size online also. I had sadly given up. Then a few days ago I saw your post with the link to them online - and my size was magically back(10). I ordered them and they came today. I love them and I had been looking for them for two months! Thanks to you for reminding me about them. Probably one of my favorite pairs! Love your blog, read it everyday. <3
