Favorite jewel

This is my absolute favourite jewelry I have ever purchased. It is a necklace from Zara.

Here are three ways to wear it: first two are traditional and the third look is more editorial.

This bold necklace could not only be worn for evening occasions but also can be worn with casual jeans and t-shirt to dress up a day outfit.

This year I designed and created my own jewellery in Colleen's accessory design class and my colour scheme was blue. Although my pieces didn't turn out the greatest, i learned how to make my own jewellery!

Levi Strauss & Co. Lookbook

Upon his arrival in sunny San Francisco in 1873, Levi Strauss fathered the brand Levi Strauss & Co. or as we now know, Levi's. The first pair of Levi's denim were created as men's workwear pants which have now evolved into 11 new fits for every day casual wear for men and now cater to women. With specialization in denim under their belt, Levi Strauss & Co. have broadened their expertise and now create jackets, button-ups, skirts, and t shirts alike. Here are a few photos from my brand lookbook featuring Levi's fit 501, 510, and 511.

Lookbook Shots

These are some shots from a lookbook I did using my friends garments with Cynthia Scaringi as my model. I was shooting indoors but wanted to use only natural lighting so I opened up all the windows in the house and used a lens that had a nice wide aperture of 1.8. The concept was very Spring-like, fresh and feminine. I was really happy with the way they turned out, especially the first one with the blurred out foreground.

Interview Season

As the summer comes around, so does the season for interviews. And we all know

the most important part of the interview: the outfit. Here are three different outfits that I have laid out for three different types of jobs.

The first is the professional business outfit, consisting of the classic blazer, a chiffon peplum blouse, and statement necklace, pencil skirt, and patent leather pumps.

The second is the more casual fashion-forward retail outfit, consisting of a plum blazer, statement necklace, oversized knit sweater, high waisted shorts and sequin loafers.

The third is a more classic fashion retail outfit, but casual enough for distressed denim. This consists of a black blazer, chiffon peplum blouse, statement necklace, distressed jeans, and sequin loafers.
