californiacation



I am offically so down to be in Los Angeles in 9 months for good. I really didn't want to leave, mostly because of my little rock star and because we've been having the time of our lives. I've been away for a week now and sadly had to catch a plane back to the east coast last night. Everything from waking up next to my baby to cigarettes from foreign doughnut shops was amazing. These days always go by in a sultry wink and they never cease to amaze me. Lots of laughs and roaming around hollywood kept us busy. Getting stared down on melrose by Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Rohnson was hillarious as fuck. I'm going to miss getting all decked out and being a little head turner with him. I love our down to earth conversations and late night walks in stud jackets and little moccasins to get hairspray and sour patch kids. Every day was magical and saturday's shoot was crazy and bad ass. Every night my baby and I hit the streets kickin plenty of ass and having a good time, I hate to go back to school and everything. Oh well, there is plenty to look forward to and we already started planning the next illegal tender shoot. You best believe we keep it fresh.

editorial photoshoot































I've been in hollywood for about a week now and of course, saturday was the editorial photoshoot for illegal tender clothing. It went well, nothing like anyone who have expected, espeically me. So many random happenings and unexpected friends, it was such an experience. Too many cute dresses and friends I finally got to hangout with. First we walked down to a few streets off of santa monica blvd and shot a few pictures while a few skateboarding boys were blasting punk music from the late 90's . Most everyone was really timid at first and jordan was earger to get his camera skills to work. He did a kick ass job and snapped over a thousand photos that day. So many to pick from and so much variety. Once iris showed up, we headed back to the apartment to get decked out for hollywood blvd photos. Everyone looked kick ass in their "littlest rebel" tee dresses and rebellious as fuck. We went down some random street to try to get some action photos. We stopped traffic and kicked ass. After comming back to the sidewalk a man from a record label/producer of a reality tv series spotted us and gave his number and all this contact information. Basically, he thought we were some up and comming band and wanted us to try out for his show. It was actually crazy and stephy's wild mouth started the whole thing. haha, that adorable girl! Afterwards, we asked this random man if we could borrow his motercycles for a few shots. He happily agreeded and stayed to watch, haha. they ended up looking great and we took some really good group shots. Overall, its not like everything went as planned... this photoshoot was anything but perdictable, thats for certain. But, all and all we got some really kick ass pictures and had a fucking good time.


welcome to hollywood, haha.

and i'm ready to go

so little time, so much to do. Three days till I take off for Los Angeles and then i'll be missing a week of school. That will be a shit-blizzard to the face when I get back. Oh well, I'd rather be out and about. Yoga in the morning will hopefully keep me sane. Although, some make think my chance at sanity was lost a while back, lol. I just want to curl up under my beauty and the beast covers, turn on factory girl and sip a warm cup of tea.

the littlest rebel


have you ever felt like things are going too well? Like everything is working out and you feel as if somthing bad is going to happen to you any second, just so that life can be fair? I don't know, but everything has been more than wonderful lately. I can't seem to be brought down these days, everything is going good from school to working on designs. Today is friday and that in itself is a beautiful thing. Tomorrow is saturday.. TIME TO KICK SOME ASSSS.

"whatever souls are made of, his and mine are the same"




Today is the 10th of September. Which means an anniversary with my baby. I'm so lucky to have him in my life. I've never been the type of girl, before I met him, to get all hung-up on a guy and such but this boy makes my heart flutter. He's got taste like no other and the most beautiful personality in all the land. Together we make it happen. Our latest project, illegaltender clothing, of course. I couldn't have done any of it without him. Much more comming from us in the future, you can bet that. My partner in crime knows how to work hard and have a good time. His hustle and stregth are somthing I've always wanted in a man. Basically, these past 15th months have been the greatest of all time because of him. I'm so stoked for next year, living in a little apartment in Los Angeles with him. It's going to happen so soon. Life has a lot in store for us, and I'm so glad I've found someone to take on the world with.

editorial photoshoot


This weekend, I worked my ass off making dresses for the illegal tender up and comming editorial photoshoot taking place in hollywood on september 20th. Only four dresses left to make and I'm thankful to be almost done. I've pricked my finger so many times with needles making these dresses, you'd think I went to battle. I gathered all the shoes and jewlery and thats right, you guessed it, leather jackets! Too many cute jackets, dresses, kicks and of course, models, are going to be featured in this shoot. I'm way stoked and everyone who is going to be a part of it seems to be also. Although I have loads of AP homework, I'm hoping to squeeze in some time to draw up the photo ideas and maybe manage to find a makeup artist. Six dresses down and four to go.

lots of love & swagger,

just one frickin day


Six of the fashion industry’s most influential rising stars have come together with one voice, with one heart and with one common goal…bringing us together through art & design in order to breathe life into the first solar powered hospital in kigutu, and subsequently, the people of burundi. All t-shirts are 100% organic cotton and were designed and made exclusively for just one frickin day in a numbered limited edition of 100 only. I bought the "Lets turn on the lights" tee.
It's not like i feel like I'm making a big diffrence by donating to the fund, I just think its so amazing that people can take somthing they love, such as design and fashion, and use to to benifit so many people. I'm so down to someday do somthing of this sort, It's just the begining.

the paramour of me

As long as I continue, I plan on being exactly who I know that I am. I've grown tired and weary of others telling me who to be and how to act. Sometimes I don't say a lot because I don't feel it necessary to waste my breath on thoose whom I will never have an onuce of respect for. I don't judge, and quite frankly, I'm usually drawn to the obscure qualities of one's nature. But, when someone judges me before they've even heard what I have to say or who I am, I don't feel it necessary to have to explain myself. Your only worth my time if you have somthing to say that dosen't invovle gossip and rumors about so and so. Gossip is petty and highly untasteful in my book. Don't waste your breath on rumors about me because chances are, its false.

On another note, I've been reading a lot of Plato's works lately. Very heavy words, as some of you may know. It's amazing how he contanited this capacity to understand the human in all of its faults and natural tendencies. I've been fasting for three days now, trying to clean my body and my mind so that I may function more clearly and reach a deeper state of being. Unfortuantly, I woke up ill today with a horrible fever. I stuck out school but crashed the minute I got home. I know that this is just my body ridding itself of the toxins, so there is no need to give up now. If there is anything I've learned from Plato so far, It is that you have power over your body and your senses if you practice it.
