Places and Events - Jesse Shannon by Jacob Sadrak

Last night, since I was feeling a little bit under the weather, I decided to cancel all my evening plans and stay in. I had to keep priority meaning to be healthy for New Years Eve. Eventhough I have yet to make plans. Either to stay in the west coast or jet set to New York to see a friend. Decisions, decisions. In my boredom, I actually tagged every possible picture I can tag on Facebook so it will show up on my timeline's map. It was surreal, it brought back great memories. Now, I'm tempted to upload EVERY picture I have so I can tag 'em. Or ask an assistant to do it for me.

I had a great Christmas weekend with non-stop eating and great fun with friends. Hopefully, everybody had a great time with their celebrations. Now to hustle at the gym so I can look great welcoming 2012!

In this great editorial with beautiful outfits and architecture, Jesse Shannon appeared on the latest issue of H magazine. Styled by Ayano Ishihara with pieces by Antonio, Azzuolo, Siki Im and Riviera Club as captured by Jacob Sadrak.

A Faux Runway Monday Post, Sorry!

I have to apologize that I have to postpone a post. I got home really late from a friend's Christmas soiree and my post is far from ready . . .but it is the holidays! I think a little leniency is in order! I will see you, my fashionistos and fashionistas tomorrow!

Naughty Or Nice - Simon Nessman by Alexander Neumann

Well, It's here! Merry Christmas to one and all! The last two days had been a mad dash to buy gifts and getting last minute errands done and finishing friday night with hanging with my friends for a pre-holiday night out. I spent Christmas Eve with the family and coming back to the city later tonight for my friend's Christmas soiree. Hope my fashionistos and fashionistas got what they wanted today wether you've been naughty or nice. But if you ask me, All I want for Christmas is **You** (And you know who you are).

I will make this post short and sweet so we can all resume consuming calories that we don't really need and spread some Holiday cheer while we're at it.

Simon Nessman appeared on the fall/winter issue of Vogue Mexico Hombre's cover story. Photographed by the talented Alexander Neumann and styled by John Tan with luxurious pieces from Prada, Salvatore Ferragamo, and  Dolce and Gabbana.

Knit And Knot - Anthony Greenfield, Fabio Mancini & Zeb Ringle by Vincent Dilio

Sometimes people frustrates me. Maybe they're not performing at my level or I expect too much from people. I don't really know which is which yet but I'm not going to think about the shortcomings of the people around me today. It is two days before Christmas! I refuse to be in a knot or a rut when others especially "upgrades" do show interest. Nothing a little communication will fix, really and that means for the good or the bad. No matter how important somebody thinks they are in my life, I, me, moi will always comes first. ALWAYS.

Well in this editorial for the latest issue of Instinct Magazine, Zeb Ringle, Fabio Mancini and Anthony Greenfield wears knitted pieces from the collection of Louis Vuitton, John Varvatos, and Burberry London.  Photography by Vincent Dilio and styling by Eric Launder for Simply Sweaters.

To be honest though, I can't wait for people to stop wearing those Jacquard patterned sweaters. They're just atrocious unless you specifically wear them for your ugly sweater party.

Things That I Want: Red Over Heels

Romain Kremer

Most people read up their current events in the morning over coffee. I don't have the time for a nice sit down breakfast in the morning. So, I usually do it on my lunch break. News over some sushi? why not. So, yesterday, I stumbled upon the Kardashian's Christmas card for this season (Yes, celeb scoop IS current events). I must say, eventhough, I haven't seen an episode of the their reality show as of late, I love how they all look in the picture, definitely high fashion (check out the Loubis galore!!!).

And on my recent visit home, my Mom had brought up the fact that when my sister gives birth to her daughter next year, A family portrait will be scheduled. If I get control of that shoot, my family portrait will be less preppy and more high fashion for a change. 

For today's Things That I Want post, if you've been reading my last couple of posts from this week, you already know what I want! Those Romain Kremer for Camper red heeled oxfords. The colab shoes with Camper were featured at the french designer's fall/winter 2010-11 collection. The one half of duo designer for Buckler is known for his futuristic and avante garde looks and I absolutely love his take on the classic oxfords. The shoes retail for $205 but are currently on sale for $175. I'm picking them up tomorrow.

It is my last work day for the week before my Christmas break. 

Happiness!

And if you are wondering what the Kardashian Christmas card looked like, here you go!

Child's Play - Francis Piennar by Mckenzie James

During a conversation with a friend last night, the whole me planning my outfit for my friend's Christmas Dinner came up. Well the fact that I wouldn't shut up about the Kremer for Camper shoe that I've been hunting was probably the cause, whoopsie! He asked me why bother to dress up if it was just among friends and by the way this was coming from a model with New York and International work experience, mind you. My answer? I don't really know I told him that I feel like everyday I wake up was always a chance to dress up and honestly, I was not really getting worked up about what I would wear but more on the fact that I have to always get what I want, when I want. The latter idea he understood, perfectly.

Photographer Mckenzie James lensed this editorial for the fourth issue of Pulp magazine. With a little help from Jessica Gordon's playful props, Francis Piennar showed a sense of naiveté for this shoot. Stylist, Elaine Jyll Regio had put together a good number of pieces from Givenchy, Buckler, Hugo Boss and Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Tweed Me Right - Aiden Andrews & Charlie France by Alexander Wagner

Last night, I went to eat dinner at the world famous Cliff House's Sutro's restaurant. My new friend insisted we go even with my you-won't-see-anything fog warning. The food, as always, was great but that restaurant would have been better during a clear night or probably for brunch . . . no fog. It was a pleasant dinner of great conversations more than most, really. But the absolute best thing about last night? Everybody was  in such a good mood! Happy Holidays, indeed!

Tweed is one of those classic pieces when done wrong, you would look like you just stepped out of the Oliver chorus line. For this editorial that appeared on the November/December issue of Sportswear International entitled Tweed Run, Alexander Wagner photographed top models Aiden Andrews and Charlie France as to what they call fashion cycle. John Tan showed their readers how to "tweed it up" in a modern way with pieces by Ben Sherman, Frankie Morello, Shipley & Halmos and Thom Browne. I absolutely love that ultra modern red rubber backed oxford/derby shoes by Romain Kremer for Camper. 

So, with that note have a wonderful day, my fashionistos and fashionistas!
