AIN'T LAURENT WITHOUT YVES

The middle of winter, awaiting Spring. 

Anticipating new Fall fashion.

 Looking forward to the pastels and brights of Spring.

 Snowstorms and warm hearts. 

Cold winds and colder eyes. 

The end of love and beginning of lust. 

 If you can have both, never let go. 

Always looking for the silver lining. 

Most say she is always smiling. 

Smiling at the present, hopeful of the future. 

Forgetful of the past. 

 Letting go of past hurts and ego slights. 

Loving those in her life once again without bounds. 

A new attitude on give and take. 

 Driven and determined. 

Knowing that success is the only option. 

Entrepreneurial spirit, and a hopeless romantic at heart. 

She's smarter than smart. 

 Only here to love and create art.

She Keeps Her Heart Protected...

Far Away From her Sleeve...

Now.

Above all else keep moving forward.
Don't be stagnant.
Don't allow your hands to be idle.
When your still, the thoughts flow.
So be still, just don't stand still.

So many people come here to be themselves.
To fully realize their potential.
One after another it engulfs them.
Drains them.
Until their dreams are fleeting thoughts.
Memories of a once "great idea."
"Maybe one day," on repeat.

Don't let rent take you over.
Don't let happy hour make you sad.
Don't let those who are fearful instill it upon you.
Don't let your parents talk to to you about a 401k.

Allow your free time to be free.
Free to create.
Free to put your dreams on paper, on canvas, wherever you choose.
Choose art.
Always.

Olcay Gulsen spring/Summer 2013

It's begun. First show of New York Fashion week for me was Olcay Gulsen. Olcay is the creator of  the label SuperTrash which is sold in over 24 countries. She launched Olcay Gulsen just over a year ago, and this season she yet again showed us she is not just a social media and brand collaborating genius, but that she can stand on her own, as minimalistic as "Olcay Gulsen." While this season we did see more gorgeous minimal evening gowns that were as light and flowing as the models who swiftly walked in them, the details were there too. Golden rouching of metallic gold on the trains of an evening gown, and once again on a bolero-esque jacket.

Inspiration for her Spring/Summer 2013 stemmed from the French harbour village Villefranche-sur-Mer. Such an elegant collection full of pretty pleats and structured silhouettes. 

Here are some photos I took..enjoy!

Can't get enough of that Diana Ross hair. So big it's castin shadows.

Desperate housewife of New York Kelly looked amazing in a green thigh high split dress.

Can't get enough.
