Let it fall.

                             

Life creates opportunity to make art. The Hollywood lights at night and a slow shutter speed will create some magic. Here's a fine line between androgyny and femininity. As much of a tomboy I'd like think I am, the inner femme fatal can't help but sneak out. Which is why no matter my hair length or style, I feel most beautiful when it's short or out of my face. Maybe because I can't hide behind my hair and just be myself. My style seems to be evolving parallel to my life right now. Going though any transitional phase affects the way you dress, carry yourself is the message you portray to other people on who you are or want to be. 

I am in a brand new place, metaphorically, literally and spiritualy. As I become more focused on exactly what I want from life and learning about who I am, I can't help but become excited. 

As you can see I'm ready for jacket weather. The heat in Los Angeles has been torturous and even while I shot these images at 1am it was at least 85 degrees outside. Time for the leaves to turn.. in more ways than one.

Love this black on black I picked out. 

It's all about mixing textures, not to mention the cut on these Helmut Lang pants are badass.

Sometimes a little lucite is all you need.

I love this particular outfit because of the sheer simplicity of it. I love my little denim high waisted shorts with "too cool" detail reppin Merica'. The one thing that takes this outfit from bum town to LA cool are my Chinese Laundry lucite heels. Can't help but feel put together and comfortable all at once. Mission accomplished. 

And so we begin..

It's been months since my last entry and honestly at some points I just wanted to delete my entire blog. Since my last post in March, so many things have happened and so many lessons were learned that oneday I realized, instead of deleting this blog I would begin again with a new chapter.
My style is also changing. I'm finding myself again and it's interesting to see how much everything changes when you are in a very different (and happy) place in your life.


I bought this overalls st Zara in the beginning of summer. I love the simplicity the entire looks exudes, yet the shoes make it my own. The shoes are a perfect condition satin vintage heel.

Hi, my name is Sarah and I am addicted to buying jackets. I realize Los Angeles may seem like a ridiculous place to have an abundance of overcoats, but the nights here a little chilly. However, when you want to dress up a plain jean and tee, a jacket is a great addition  that will immediately tie to any outfit together, making you look effortlessly chic [or if you happen to be naked].


The first photo was taken as a test shot, this was my actual outfit of the day. I had a 90s inspired day: my mood dictated baggy Levi's and a gray tank top with a hand knit scarf (courtesy of my grandmother). You will notice I wore my handmade Mala prayer beads throughout the entire shoot. The last few photos don't have any jackets or much of anything but the shoot ended up being natural and beautiful and I wanted to share.


As you may have probably noticed, I love all things vintage. I like to mix and match vintage (in this case jackets) with current trends. This way you can always infuse your own style into any trend without ever looking like anyone else [or if you happen to be naked].

I hope you enjoy the photos ladies and gentlemen .  .

and badder than ever.

We are embarking on a new year. A fresh start and a chance to reinvent yourself. Nothing feels better than going through a year of struggle only to truly learn who you are and have spiritual growth. Once you can look back you realize how strong you are and how many more chances you have to reinvent yourself, and grow, and learn. Once you realize you don't know everything, you get a whole new excitement for the unknown, and leave fear in the dust. Now you get to change your style, wear things you never thought you could. Try new things with your hair, makeup and suddenly your personality shines and your confidence is reinstated and renewed. 

Here are some of my 2014 inspirations.  I hope they make you think of some of your own.. 

The vulnerable truth

This shoot with Ed Duarte took place last week. It was complete natural lighting, I have no makeup on and I just needed to prove (to myself) being sexy isn't about the makeup or hair, obviously. It's your attitude and the way you feel inside.
Sometimes you need to humble yourself and realize who you are isn't what you wear or what others see.  It's that part of you that no one can see or hear; only you know exactly who you are and the day you fall in love with that part of yourself, forgiving all the mistakes you made in the past is the day you become your truth.

Open your heart and your back.  

Bodysuits, especially the 80s swimsuits make the most amazing piece to wear underneath highwaisted (anything).
My staple has definitely become my boots and I refuse to apologize for wearing them constantly because once you find that one thing it becomes who you are. These boots are more than just a piece of clothing or an accessory. They tell a story of who you are. I know that may sound silly but they make me feel confident when I wear them and I think if anyone can find that one thing that brings out their inner tiger, rock them. Rock them as much as you want.

Style Fashion Week LA March 15th

 ...the colors are so pretty..

 As promised I present to you some photos that Jeff photographed when him and I were front row at Style Fashion Week LA. Just one of the many bigger events of LAFW. I can't say that Los Angeles is known for it's fashion week (yet) but we are definitely known to be able to put on a spectacular party. 
Taken place at the beautiful Vibiana downtown, a historical cathedral that has now been transformed into venue that is used for major parties and events. 
A red carpet event with full security of course, you enter to an amazing court yard filed with beautiful people, photographers and complimentary drinks. Set up like a club outside it was has the perfect vibe to begin the night and to be able to sit underneath the stars (and heat-lamps) before entering the main hall to take your seats for the shows. I was taken back by the architecture of the venue and how well organized Style FW was. I am picking a few looks for the designers that I truly loved and would recommend to watch out for.

The first designer was Linden made in Los Angeles a new designer that uses basic pieces that can be mixed and matched to make sexy, stylish yet comfortable garments. I noticed a lot of cotton and other very breezy fabric that most definitely have that southern California girl love all over it. The models all came down with beach waved hair and clean simple makeup that make the over all look effortless. 


Next designer that I absolutely fell head over heels (literally) is MadisonPark Collective. They started the show with an amazing performance professional dancers that left everyone in the perfect mood to start the show. I was in love with almost every look that went down the runway, they had a mix of women's and men's.

 Even though I am ready for summer and I have no desire to wear anymore winter clothing I actually got pretty excited to go shopping for next season. I got a ton of inspiration from the leather accents, military style yet perfectly fitted coats. I saw a lot of beige and neutral colors with amazing clean lines and cuts that was no where near boring. It was a mix of the best of 70s style of the clean lines and chunky sweaters along with the long amazing coats but nothing about it looked dated or retro, it was fresh and modern and I love that you don't need to be a size 0 to look good in this line.
