Secret Wish: To be number one

"As the zodiac's first sign, you were born to be number one, you rarely have a problem turning heads, and your friends love to follow as you lead them on the latest adventure. Make sure to let other people be the boss every now and then, too, or you could alienate potential allies." - Astro Twins-

"Whether they use red to accent an outfit or wear an entire style with red, it is not uncommon to find the color in their wardrobe. They are also often seen in black and white. Aries are not afraid to attract attention, in fact, they love it. For an Aries, one of their greatest accomplishments is being noticed when they walk into a room full of people. Turning heads is a talent, and boring is never an option. Because they are leaders, Aries are also fashion trendsetters. They like to mix up their fashion with bold statements and new ideas. They are not concerned with what people think about their style or look. Aries love comfort. However, just because they enjoy being comfortable, doesn't mean they want their style to say, comfort."

-Astrology Scope-

As an Aries myself, when I think of my sign I think of a person who isn't afraid to push the envelope, a person who looks for the unexpected touches in any given garment or accessory, and most of all a person whose style must scream from the rooftops. I can tell you first hand that every piece in my wardrobe must scream my name every second of the day. As I walk by, I want people to take one look at me and know that this is me and not some carbon copy. I have an affinity for the obscure, and things that can be so tacky and ugly that its strangely appealing. Everything must be a conversational piece. this is not to be taken as me being the type of person who's like "Look at me!!!", but rather a person who wants you to look without me having to ask.

My creative counterpart, Angelica Vanessa, asked me to be the stylist for her photo shoot a few weeks ago. Of course I said yes, and of course I asked if I could photograph this amazing model and document the end product of our outstanding work together.

It took a few days to gather all the pieces, as we were both busy with other projects as well, but after taking a few trips to some of our favorite places to shop we were able to pull some beautiful pieces. And with the addition of the accessories, predominately from my own collection, we had ourselves a lookbook ready to shoot.

The day of the shoot I put on my stylist/make-up artist/photographer/photographers assistant hat, and we set out to have a killer session.

Now I wasn't the main photographer for this shoot, but I did manage to capture a few shots in the process...cause come on...
