Loin Cloth LA Shoot

This past weekend I styled a shoot for Loin Cloth here in Arizona. Based in Hollywood, CA, LoinCloth Los Angeles is a lifestyle apparel brand who aims to provide original clothing to the young and ambitious. The brand’s purpose is to highlight the joys and tribulations of pursuing a dream. What started with just an idea and -$143 in the bank, has grown into a brand that equips driven individuals with the quality and comfort they need to take on life’s obstacles. With “A Penny and A Plan” as its motto, LoinCloth Los Angeles continues to see through limitations and reach for the next level.

The two behind the brand: Sam Mascaro and Clary Ryan

Their collection is very colorful and hip and has changed my view on men’s casual wear in a fun and and floral print way. Loin Cloth will be debuting their collection at Phoenix Fashion Week this October. Make sure to get your tickets because this is going to be a MUST SEE show! Special thanks to my models for the shoot, Mat Tondreau and Dimi Augustin.

I Got Sugared!

I officially got “sugared,” at Sugar Sugar in the Scottsdale Promenade and I loved it! If you are new to “sugaring” you are not alone; I was a little skeptical going into it because I am not a fan of hot wax because it is hot and just plain uncomfortable. Sugaring is an ancient art of hair removal that was popular thousands of years ago in Egypt, Greece and Mesopotamia. Rediscovered ancient arts often are found to be the most effective methods, and this is clearly the case with sugaring. The technique is not commonly available because it’s a true art that takes much practice to perfect and all of the Sugar Sugar estheticians are highly trained sugarist-artists! I was very pleased with the result, I felt as if I was getting a mini massage on my legs while she was waxing them (nothing like hot waxing, I would practically hold my breath the entire time waiting for it to be over). After the treatment was over, they gave me a small bag of Hungarian Mud to soak my legs in and it felt very soothing. You can say that I am a happy camper!

Not only does Sugar Sugar specialize in all natural sugaring but they also specialize in natural facials! I haven’t had one yet but I can’t wait to try it out! Surprisingly I have never had a “all natural,” facial before and I am excited to see what the difference is. I am also excited to announce that I am teaming up with Sugar Sugar to offer all of my blog readers and clients a discount for their first visit. When you call to make an appointment or walk in, make sure to tell them that you heard about them from my blog!

Happy Saturday and Style on Ladies and Gents!

My Block and Battaglia Clutch.

My new obsession at the moment is my Camelback Mountain, Block and Battaglia clutch! So obsessed that I put together an entire outfit around it! I am an Arizona native so as soon as I saw this clutch, I knew I had to have it! This is an actual picture of Camelback Mountain taken by the designer Christine Battaglia! Battaglia lives in Arizona with her son and boyfriend and is a full time real estate agent. When she’s not selling houses she is creating works of art.

I love a good big ol’ bag, the kind that could double as a diaper bag when my son was a baby, the kind that fits everything you’ll need on a flight, the kind that start to hurt your shoulder after carrying it all day, the kind that make me feel like I’ve lost my keys-wallet-lipstick because I can’t find it in that big ol’ bag… I do love them but it’s also nice to edit everything down, only take what you need for a an evening out with friends or a trip to the store and it’s even more fun when you have a super cute bag to carry your pared down necessities.

I started making bags to sell on Etsy a few months back and I love making a good ol’ clutch, I think they are both fresh and elegant. I love to play with colors and shapes & combining textiles. You can find them at Etsy.com/shop/BlockAndBattaglia Here are some of my favorites that are available now.

I love this style for work since its just big enough to carry my iPad but without it it has a real cute slouch happening.

I love the Pom Poms on this one, I strung them myself to go with this bag. The vintage embroidered fabric is so vibrant, this is a one of kind piece.

Keep an eye out for this style coming soon with detachable straps…for those days when you don’t feel like lugging around the big guy but want to give your hands a break.

Who doesn’t love Ikat, this particular woven fabric comes from India.

I can’t pass up a beautiful Batik fabric, the shades of blue on this bag make my heart skip a beat.

The most fun bag to make are these rouched fabric clutches. They are challenging to make but always turn out awesome.

This is last one is very dear to me. I love Arizona, I love the desert. I snapped this photo of Camelback Mountain from the balcony at the Valley Ho and I think it’s such a fun homage to the place I call home.

Each bag I sell is handmade by me and I add a few bags each week so be sure to check out my Etsy store often to see what’s new.

Michelle Hebert. Luxury Designer. Tropical Paradise

This past weekend I had the privilege of working with and styling a shoot for designer, Michelle Hebert from Los Angles, California. Her designs are elegant and timeless, Hebert intertwines art and fashion that creates captivating designs for sophisticated women. At a very young age she pursued art, and within this pursuit she found her love for apparel design seeing people opposed to paper as a canvas. One thing she has never forgotten since her childhood was a statement by her father Achille C. Hébert II, “never give up your art”. By listening to his advice, Hebert’s designs to date have been worn by several entertainers such as Kelli Berglund of Disney Channel’s Lab Rats, Tracy Hutson from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and the 19th cycle winner of Americas Next Top Model Laura James. They have also walked down the red carpet at award ceremonies such as the 55th Annual Grammy Awards and the 2013 BET Awards. Within these next few months keep your eyes open for new work, new trials, new triumphs, and most excitingly an unreleased campaign. Below is a picture of Michelle Hebert at one of her shoots wearing a piece she designed and looking stunning and elegant as ever!

Hebert’s designs inspired me to style a bright colorful landscape on a tropical island. It took a couple weeks for me to find the perfect place to shoot these looks but after various trips around Arizona I found just the place! I collaborated with makeup artist Janae Shields, my amazing husband Mat Tondreau as my photographer and the beautiful and talented Kimberly Lopez as my model. Below are Michelle Hebert’s designs with a tropical twist. Enjoy!

Behind The Scenes…
We all had such a great time during this shoot, it was so easy making these shots look amazing because of the artistic designs and my beautiful model!

I hope you enjoyed this designer post. Make sure to check out Michelle Hebert!
