Edel Traynor is another designer that I found through Instagram. I scrolled through her feed & immediately went to her website. I was feeling a rush of inspiration. Edel beautifully mixes femininity and the industrial to create unique pieces. They use the finest cottons and make pieces to last instead of fast fashion. Edel previously studied architecture and I think that you can see that in her designs.

I'm heading back to Ireland next week and I wanted to share 3 of my favorite Irish designers with you all. (there are a ton more that I love I just had to narrow down). I've been to Ireland a lot the past few years and you get the feeling that something really special is happening. Dublin is full of amazing talent, creativity, & inspiration. I'm always seeking out new Irish designers, photographers, & publications.

The first designer I want to feature is Capulet & Montague. I found Lisa's designs through Instagram and my eyes popped. Her design's are so unique compared to a lot of what is on the market right now. They are simple yet complex. Bold and modern. I cannot wait to see her designs in person in a few weeks.

New York, you build me and break me. Simultaneously pulling me from each end. Emptying me and filling me up, overflowing.

"Here is to supplying weirdlings with their everyday disguise"
- David Michael Hershberger

I immediately picked up on this as soon as I found out about David Michael. The cuts, the tailoring, the individuality. There is nothing more sexy than good tailoring. Clothes, to me, are a form of armor for every day life... a chance to become a character. Most all of my outfits have a backstory to them. Pages and pages of inspiration and imagination in my head. David Michael's clothes provide the perfect costumes for the plays in my head. (& life.)

A lot of times when I am photographing I don't have a specific vision in my mind as to where I want to go. I like to see what happens as the moment unfolds. You never know what you are going to find on the street.

This week I'll be partnering with Gus Mayer to show you my picks for their annual Champagne Sale.

(see details below)

I was so excited to pull some things to share with y'all. Gus Mayer has an amazing selection and who doesn't love a sale? Especially on amazing brands.

My first pick is this incredible Alexander McQueen set. I live for a good set and Alexander McQueen. I paired it with my own Alexander McQueen shoes from a few years back. I love how simply elegant yet sexy this set is.

The presale starts today, June 6th. The Champagne Sale will be held Thursday June 9th from 4-9pm. Doorbuster prices will only be from 4-5pm and all sale merchandise will be an additional 33% off the red line price. (a total of 60% savings). Go stock up while you can!

Stay tuned for more of my picks this week!

Wearing a few current favorites.

+ vintage Fendi

The 1930s have always captivated me. The fashion, the film, the music. To me, the chance to own a piece of history is one of the greatest feelings. I've been collecting vintage for a really long time and I still get just as excited when I find something like this. I recently went to a huge vintage warehouse sale (it was a dream come true) and this is one of the things I picked up. I'll be putting it in my archives after this post but I had to share. I've always secretly wanted to be a 1930s film star & wearing the clothing from this period is probably the closest I'll ever get.
