A couple months ago, I styled and shot some outfits for Bird's blog.  These are the photos that I took--you can see the photos that Jack took up on the blog now!

Wolcott : Takemoto Fall 2012

 Here are just a few of my favorites from our Fall 2012 look book.  (It was hard to choose--Skye did such a great job and Olivia looks beautiful in every single photo).  Take a look at the rest here!

And thank you Alyson!

I've been looking around for Lookbook inspiration.  These photos by Aubin & Wills of Irina Lazareanau and Alex James (Blur) are lovely.  

Speaking of our upcoming shoot...I'm so excited!  Skye will be shooting it and the beautiful Olivia will be our model!

One of my favorites from Skye's website.  Check it out.

Leeds, UK

Skye got me the most amazing Christmas present--a trip to Europe!  I flew from JFK to Brussels airport and from Brussels to Leeds-Bradford, which apparently is one of the most dangerous airports to fly into.  I found this out after I had safely landed, thank goodness.  We were in one of those tiny airplanes and those scare me enough as it is.  We hung out all day at the O2 Academy, then drove overnight to London.  We got to spend one day in London (unfortunately, that roll of film turned out blank--what the heck.)  And then the wonderful Ben and Cil drove us to Heathrow where we flew out to Amsterdam and spent four amazing days there.  I had never been to Europe or the UK before, so this was all very exciting and new to me.  I really didn't want to come home.  I wish I could travel around for months--there's so many cities I would love to see!  Anyways, more pictures to come in a bit!

Chibi Lai

I'm so excited to be working with photographer Chibi Lai next week!  Chibi is going to be shooting the Wolcott : Takemoto lookbook for us....I can't wait to see how it turns out.

The Disciples

We just got in a new shipment of books at work and among them was The Disciples by James Mollison.

He attended a bunch of concerts and took photos of the fans that were attending them. These guys take it way past the "wearing the band I'm seeing's t-shirt" concert faux-pas to a whole other level.
I remember once in high school on the way to a show, my friend's boyfriend scoffed at the idea of listening to the band on the ride there, which was news to me.

 So, how about you guys?  Does the band you're seeing influence the way you dress to their concert?  

I played a game with myself....guess what concert they're at!  (YES, I'm a nerd.)  Can you guess who they were seeing?

(1. Rod Stewart, always one of my favorites. 

2.Oasis, duh.

3. Missy Elliot!)

Bill Cunningham...now that's inspiration.

Last Monday, Skye and I finally got around to seeing Bill Cunninham New York.  I know for a fact that I have not smiled throughout a whole movie like that since I was a child.  (I'm one of those people that start to zone out and daydream during movies, but there was none of that while watching Mr.Cunningham).  Not only did the movie make me smile, laugh, and yes, even tear up....it seriously inspired me.  Bill is not an amazing photographer but his eye for fashion and trends and his perseverance made me think about what it is that I'm doing at this moment in time.  For like FIFTY years, he has gotten on his bike and rides allllll over New York City (uptown, downtown, and back uptown again) taking pictures of anything and everything that catches his eye.  And after all that bike ridin', he goes into the Times and works on his On the Street article.  I mean, this dude was doing it all before all of y'all. 

In all his hard work and dedication, this man appears to be so amazingly humble and kind-hearted.  He has integrity that is so rare to see these days.  Should I stop gushing now?  

Go see it if you haven't yet!

The NYT does a video version of his article.  Check them out here.

Curtains seem to be taking over my Flickr favorites!
