City girls and country girls

"City girls are country girls with cuter outfits"

That's exactly how I like to think of myself!

This is a shout out to David Wittig who created these amazing photos!  The night of the shoot we hailed a cab, drove around the city looking for light and thoroughly enjoyed the city at night.  It was so fun and our driver was such a good sport!  He is incredibly talented and to my happiness, knows the best places to grab some grub and good drinks downtown.  Him and his wife are lovely people that I am happy to call friends.  Please check out their incredible work!

Shout out!

I gotta give a shout out to an amazing photographer that I worked with back in October.  He is a Miami photographer of many trades and I had the honor of shooting with him and another photographer (another shout out to come!).  It was really an amazing experience.  We filled an empty Chicago loft with hours of picture taking and somehow found a break to energize over pizza.  Pizza.  I'm not sure you're supposed to eat pizza while you're modeling, but I totally did.  And it was delicious and completely did the trick.  Carlos pushed me past my comfort zone and it paid off.  We captured some amazing stuff.  Here is just a tiny taste because we are both so happy with the results.

Thanks, Carlos!  See you in Miami soon!

Sophisticated Saturday

Thank goodness for the weekend.  I'm really in need of it right now seeing as my weeks just get busier and busier and my immune system gets weaker and weaker.  Fighting a fever and throbbing aches for 3 days was enough to make me want to sit around all day and watch movies and drink tea (of course with my books and notes in hand, blah).  But I did have to do one thing this morning.  I shot with a guy named John Troxel who is editor-in-chief of INK magazine.  It is a quarterly fashion magazine (but is going monthly as of March!) and it is beautiful.  Seriously, LOOK.  I was amazed the first time I flipped through one.  The INK Winter edition just came out a couple weeks ago and you should most definitely check it out.  Look, be inspired and enjoy the beautiful clothes and the even lovelier photography.  I may or may not be in it (if you find me, the photography was done by Christopher Wilocki...check out his blog HERE)

All the photos above and to the right are by Chris and this little photo is by John from some time ago.  Like before there was snow on the ground.  Do you remember when we considered 50 degrees cold? At least we get nice coats and boots to keep us warm and stylish.
