Wishlist: Chrissie Morris Ankle Booties

CHRISSIE MORRIS 'Tina' ankle boot (see more studded ankle boots)

 For the bargain price of $1,187, down from $1,696 on FARFETCH.COM you can get these "Black suede ankle boots from Chrissie Morris featuring an almond toe, green stingray strap details to the centre with stud detailing, a small platform, a green stingray chunky high heel and a leather sole." -Polyvore description.

 I love the screw stud details and the stingray texture!

What sort of things do you have on your wishlist?

Sao Paulo Fashion Week Hits The Subway!

Shout out to all my Brazilian friends. It's Sao Paulo Fashion Week!

Huffpost covered the smart marketing ploy here, where fashion designers debuted their styles on the streets and in the subway:

Do you think this makes fashion accessible to the masses or does it taunt the ever growing gap between the rich and the poor? You decide! Regardless, it's a brilliantly creative way to get worldwide press! Mission successful! 

Let me know what you think! Do you like it?

EXCLUSIVE Brazilian Pop Star,"Bad Girl" Natalia Damini Leak

Screen shot of EXCLUSIVE VIDEO LEAK, See below for video.

Brazilian pop star, Natalia Damini gets a boost with her first commercial EP release as she pairs up with Grammy nominee rappers Shop BOYZ (best known for "Party Like A Rock Star " , and partnerships with Beyonce on The Experience Tour). Two versions of the single are set for release November 1 by Concore Entertainment, in partnership with Universal Music Group, executive producer Charve The Don. In addition to its SHOP BOYZ version, the new single will feature a remix with newly recorded guitars and drums, trading in the pop flavor for a rock sound. The Tranzformaz of Los Angeles who produced the single also worked with Natalia on the track " Never Say Goodbye."
Natalia Damini announced via social media that she will release a new music video by VEVO in the first half of 2014 but she sent me this link personally and asked me to promote it. She's such a sweetie, and if you are a pop fan (a la Gaga, Kesha, and the likes) you would love her too, so how could I refuse?

Also featured on the EP are two other tracks: "Cannot Be Without U," and "Kiss It," a remix which ranked #1 on the charts in Canada. So here it is, the "EXCLUSIVE OFFICIAL LEAK" with snippets from all the tracks of her EP, which will be available on iTunes November 1! http://youtu.be/GmPYOA_m6Bc .

Photography: Sunflare

When I started this blog my friend Kristin and I did a little digital photoshoot in the field near my home. I posted the unedited photos she took of me... and subsequently lost the SD card. Well, it showed up recently and I finally got to do the Photoshop magic I have been wanting to do with the photos I took of her. The photo editing I did has little to no "corrections"- Kristin is gorgeous just the way she is! Besides I like my subjects to look real. The photo editing I did added sun flares and adjusted the color balance and lighting. In all honesty, now the photos look a lot closer to how the light actually was falling at our sunset photoshoot. With a day's worth of work, I am super happy with how they have turned out- so editorial chic!

Enjoy!

Leather shorts, vintage thrifted sequin top, jewelry- Kristin's own.

If you want to learn how to do sun flares in Photoshop Cheryl Chu has a great tutorial that can give you similar effects, but remember each photo is unique and the lighting you use makes a huge difference.

Thanks Kristin!
