Meet Mika!

A couple of weeks ago, I was called upon by stylist Sherah to do an editorial shoot for the Spring issue of Creative Sugar Magazine. I was lucky to have worked on the cover of their second issue a few months back (see it here!). So when Sherah called me back with this idea of using neon colors and crazy prints all I could think to say was "when do you want me?!"


The magazine just came out, and guess what? You can view the high-resolution online magazine for FREE here. I'm in pages 30-37!

This is also the first printed credit debut of my editorial team, Hey Slick! Collective. We're still getting our resources together, but it's gonna be good and I'll be sure to tell you all about us soon!

Do you love the REX design on the cap on top?! I do! 

Photographer Joshua Scott and his assistant Ted were a dream to work with, and Mika of Agency Model Management was as sweet as can be. Her agency was so happy with the spread that they are using the photos in her portfolio! High-five, team!

-----------------------------------------

I'm still trying to catch up on recaps from earlier this year. It's really exciting stuff for me, so hopefully I'll be sharing them with you sooner than later!

Good News! My work to be published in Sessions Magazine!

I recently did a photoshoot with photographer Betania Sikora, Schimmy the wardrobe stylist & model Tracy from Agency Model Management. I've been really excited to share these photos with you guys & I was thinking about posting them Sunday morning when I woke up, when I got a text from her saying that Sessions Magazine decided to run our shoot as an editorial in their next issue! Shut up!

The makeup I used was mostly Sugarpill Cosmetics (surprise!) which lent itself so amazingly to the saturated, high contrast photos. Here's a role call of all the colors I used on the eyes:

[[of course, all from Sugarpill]]
Flamepoint (star of the show!)
Goldilux
Asylum
Love+
Bulletproof

I end up doing this a lot on photoshoots, where I start with minimal, simple makeup and as the looks evolve I slap on more and more makeup. Here, we started with a simple Flamepoint eyeliner with some mascara. I love the bright, urgent, alarming orange contrasting with the grey background and black wardrobe.

I'll share with you the editorial once they come out! Ta ta for now!

Hello brosephs!

For it being a "style" blog, there isn't a whole lot of my style going on in here, is there? What I actually mean by style though, isn't just pertaining to my fashion style... every person's style is comprised of clothes, yes, but also hair, their taste in music, personality, whether they like bacon or not (don't argue with me on this, this is relevant) and so on. But a large part does have to do with fashion choices, so I'm gonna start posting more "'fits" in here. The lighting in my room makes everything look like God peed all over a see-through paper and told you to look through that, so it's been some what of a challenge to get good pictures in. But I shall try! For the love of the people. Yeah, right. We all know the only person I do this for is me, but you know, it makes people feel less vain when they say "oh, but people want to see what I wear", so I'm using that too.

I wore this to go celebrate a dear friend Jessica's belated birthday. Funny story, we had a friend with us who is WELL above legal age (I'm talking over 35 years old) and he couldn't get into a Dave and Busters. What! Yeah, so we ended up going to a dive bar, which was fine. It doesn't upset me that I wasn't able to buy overpriced drinks and play video games. You would think, but no. So happy belated, Jess! Hope you had a swell evening regardless of all the drama.
