The Sophisticate

Ana is the epitome of class. She exudes sophistication in these simple, yet elegant looks as captured by her hubby and photographer, Kevan Wilkinson.

Capturing a very chic look that is both sexy and allusive is easier than you think. Keep with basic colors, be bold with black and a POP of color (such as a scarf, blouse or large necklace). Do texture like sparkle or shimmer ONLY on a base color, like black. Never mix a bold color with a texture if you are going for Chic.. this is a BAD idea...   keep makeup simple.. if you are going to do RED lipstick, keep your eye liner and shadow on the natural side. If you want to go smokey and bold with your eyes, choose a very nude lip stick to compliment...  

Keep hair in check. Wild hair may be great for a sexy, super glam look.. but controlled hair says "Lady" like nothing else. So slick it, Roll it and Twist it... but don't let it frizz out!

Show some skin, but not too much.  Strapless can be chic, but if your booty is hanging out, it cancels the effect. If you are covered up top, go ahead with a nice long slit at the leg... NO cut outs or peek a boos for this look...   not too much cleavage either...  it's what you hide that actually adds sexy appeal....

Delicate Chic

 I am a big fan of vintage lace and long strands of pearls are my signature. I adore them. Here I used a mix of lace and pearls to create a very delicate chic feel. The black textured tights and black slip added a layer of moodiness to the look. The fur coat was on loan from Letron, it added a luxury that off set the innocence of the lace. 

Eva is one of my favorite models ever, her attitude is always spot on with the style and here she exudes a very brooding, yet somehow hopeful energy.  Steffani, from the hair studio 108 created the perfect 60s inspired hair style with sweeping bangs and messy strands for a sexy effect. Eva did her own make up for this shoot (she is a professional make up artist by trade) and I love the nude lips and dark smokey eyes...  Bebe Jacobs captured the look in such a bright honest clarity... she rocks!

TRONtastic!

 

When I saw TRON I couldn't help thinking how much the styling reminded me of the 60's and Twiggy, Edie and the whole GOGO look. I thought there was a great styling mash up there - The collective I am a part of at www.thehairstudio108.us approved the idea and we put together a team! Here are a couple of looks .. more to come!

Cycles of Drama

 

Sometimes you gotta wash clothes, but sometimes you just have to look hot in them! The boots are about 40 years old, and hot - the top I rescued from the goodwill and trimmed with some new buttons, toss on some jean cut offs and you have SEXY! Of course, we had the straw hat i bent into a cowboy hat with us all day, so we played with that. Love it!

Bohemian Beach Girl

 I styled this photoshoot with a gorgeous maxi summer dress, the colors were so amazing against the model's tan skin. The bohemian strands of beads add just enough style to the neckline while tons of gold charm bracelets lace her wrist to convey that this is not ANY beach boho-the old gardening hat I fashioned into a cowboy hat is perfect for the relaxed look.
