Work // 2015 Portfolio Faves

The end of the year is prime time for lazy blogger round-ups, so I’m taking full advantage of that and presenting a list of some of my favorite styling work from the past year: Lady of the Hour (Cincinnati Wedding, Winter 2015) Favorite because: The noon look (that hat!) and the pink leather jacket + feathered gown combo on the cover are right up my alley. I would totally get married in a nontraditional getup like that. Vintage Ceramics (Cincinnati

My Must-Have Makeup Faves

I love the idea of makeup--transformation, enhancement, etc.--but am usually pretty lazy about actually using it. My daily routine is pretty simple: I make sure my skin looks good, my lashes are curled, and hurriedly swipe on a lip stain as I’m rushing out the door. Sometimes I’ll do a red lip or a basic cat eye, but these are the products I manage to use regularly: 1 > YSL Touch Eclat in 6.5 | I

Style // Beret Baby

Even though they weren't of the highly coveted raspberry variety (the kind you find in a secondhand store), berets made a surprising show on the Fall-Winter runways: Fay, Paul & Joe, Gucci, Luisa Beccaria and Gucci.

How To // Planning for Magazine Editorial Coverage

A few weeks ago, I was in a shop pulling wardrobe for a series of photo shoots, and the store owner asked me: “Is this for December?” I was floored. “Oh no, that’s been finished. This is for January.” It took me a second to realize that shopping in mid-November totally made sense for holiday from a retail standpoint. But magazines require a longer lead time than web or newspapers, so getting exposure in a glossy

Going Retro

I love a good throwback as much as the next 'Gram-er, so when my friend asked me to model some vintage athletic gear, I was all in! If O-town tour tees and old school Starter jackets make you nostalgic too, stop by the Retro Jones 513 booth at the City Flea Holiday Market this Saturday from 5-10pm, and stay for the Light Up OTR festivities. See you there!

Shop Around // Kendra Scott

If you’re not familiar with Kendra Scott jewelry, acquaint yourself immediately. I was initially introduced to the line via Thread, when we met with their marketing rep about hosting last month’s Sip ‘n Shop. I was honestly surprised at how much I liked some of their more contemporary designs and was really curious to see how it translated to retail. Luckily, the store in the new Liberty Center is a treasure trove of colorful stones and

Shop Around // Victor Athletics

What do you do when you’ve founded a successful denim line and want to create something to help American factories while producing affordably priced sustainable fashion? You launch a line of athletic wear, that’s what. The husband and wife duo behind Cincinnati-based Noble Denim is jumping headfirst into the athleisure market with Victor Athletics, a line of comfy sweatshirts, sweatpants, and tees made with organic cotton and manufactured in Tennessee. Following an extremely successful Kickstarter campaign,
