JOY LOVES FASHION

Yesterday, I had an awesome shoot for chic European label, SuperTrash. It’s for their amazing bi-yearly magazine and they are featuring bloggers that they love! I was so honored to be featured! It’s only me and another blogger!! I’m a huge fan of the brand and obsessed with their magazine. It has such cool articles and gorgeous photos.

My BFF Wayman and I arrived to the shoot at their NYC flagship store on 29 Prince St, Soho and met with the photographer, Jeremy James (whose worked with everyone from The Glamourai to  city gal staple- Necessary Clothing) and SuperTrash’s PR Michael Gigante from LaForce & Stevens.

Then it was time for me to choose my outfits for the shoot!

I’m wearing a gifted SuperTrash floral blazer, Joe Fresh denim bell bottoms, TopShop peplum, and a silk Shimmer & Bliss scarf (tied into a turban).

For my first look, I went for pretty pastels with a cotton candy colored tee and butter yellow envelope skirt. I accessorized the look with a SuperTrash snake bangle, my Rachel Roy colorblock platforms c/o Zappos, my fav NOIR Keith Haring necklace, Urban Outfitters shades, Zara clear clutch, African bangles, and a Shimmer & Bliss silk turban. I love how this look is equal parts girly and sporty! My kinda mix!

My fab gold Kate Spade leather card case and MAC compact shinin’ through my clear clutch!

SO happy it’s finally Spring!!

Time for look #2!!

Way and I strikin’ a pose in my fitting room! How amazing does he look in the red shades? I let him borrow them en route to the shoot and I think they look incredible with his Miami Heat fitted and charcoal coat. Fun play on color, I love a good pop!

For the second look, I chose a cut out bodycon dress in a delish orangesicle hue and mint leather jacket. I paired it with my gold YSL heels, a Forever 21 bangle, H&M floral scarf (tied into a turban), a SuperTrash necklace layered with a vintage gold necklace. Topped it all off with my vintage leather mini briefcase!

Takin’ a peak at the latest issue of SuperTrash mag!
