AT THE EDGE EDITORIAL: POP OF COLOR

For this shoot we were originally inspired by Emma Stone's Giambattista Valli dress she wore at the Friends With Benefits premiere last month. Loved the unlikely combination of bright colors, so we created some looks that could be worn in everyday life!  All clothes and shoes are from H&M!

LAST NIGHT: BABAKUL & LOVA TEA EVENT

Last night we attended an event at Fred Segal, to check out BABAKUL's new collection and enjoy a tasting of LOVA TEA. The Babakul collection is very wearable and fits the laid-back-comfortable style of LA. After all, Babakul means "hippie" in French. :)

We had a great time guzzlin' some Love Tea while oogling the Babakul collection, as well as Mr. Big (aka Chris Noth), who is the ambassador for Lova Tea. Good Times!

#1 FREJA BEHA ERICHSEN

Racking up the catwalks...

#1 CONSTANCE JABLONSKI

Jablonski made her debut as a model in the recent years (2008 to be exact), however she has been in the rise ever since, particularly on the runway. At only 20, her walk has definitely been a hot-seller for her agency Marilyn. Be sure to check her out in this upcoming fashion week, she is totally gorge!

AT THE EDGE EDITORIAL: SILVERLAKE GIRL

A shoot inspired by our current city, Silverlake, CA! The style here is very laid-back-eclectic, and definitely one-of-a-kind. Living in this city is very inspiring, as there are a lot of cool places to go. The Silverlake Resevoir, the new meadow by the resevoir, the California sign, and there are tons of staircases that seem like they go on for days. Lots of things to take in here, so I wanted to share some of the style and culture of our town with you!

(PS- all clothes/shoes/accessories were pulled from our own closets- which were bought from Shopnastygal.com, Urban Outfitters, Brandy & Melville, vintage shops in LA, etc)

"IT GIRL" - EMMA STONE EDITION

OK, I think it's pretty obvious that Emma Stone is the "IT GIRL" of the year, no? Girl has been killin it on the red carpet. (or should I say her stylist, Petra Flannery has been killin it?) Either way, Emma has been settin' the red carpet ablaze! And she seems like the sweetest and funnest girl ever- I wish we could be best friends. Just kidding...but seriously.
