I have never been one to indulge in the glossy magazines’ pages called ‘styling tips 101’. Or the ‘This is how you assemble your IKEA table’ vidoes, even though I just bought that exact IKEA table and have no bloody clue how to connect the dots. I’m waaaay to impatient to read the manuals and I find it sooo uncool to have a tutor to tell moi how to go about my business. It’s my way or the highway. #Iwonderwhymyteachershatedmeinschool!

Welcome to LA baby!!! 😉 These days the weather is so nice. I love this time of year. Warm, yet the air is still crisp and fresh plus the whole outdoor scene is exploding
The other day I was meeting my friend and designer Nina Morgan Jones. She is a gorgeous London born blonde, who is now LA based since years. I shot for her line Romp London back in December at the Avalon hotel and fell in love with most of the collection. She just moved into her new showroom smack in the middle of Beverly Hills.
