the smoke bombs+laughter made our eyes water hard.

hope y'all had a magical merry holiday + i wish you an explosively awesome new years eve!!

we're ditching the new york new years brouhaha (IN MY NEW CAR!) to hang out in a lake house in the poconos!

what we've got on the agenda: eat loads of yummy marlow+daughters food, light a couple smoke bombs, wear sequins by the fire, take LOADS of fotos, drink this bottle of veuve and just get really fucking groovy.

i promise i will post more fotos soon. i just cleared 3,660 pics from iphoto-i.e. i've finally had a chance to upload all my digi pics from november+december...but i have to go dig my car out from under heaps of snow so my apologies but you'll have to wait a few days more:)

i don't know about you but my new years resolutions are stacking up: eat more fruit, make some more books, back up my digi jazz more frequently, jump rope, get rid of this vintage archive (lemme know if you'd like to make an appointment to go thru it;), +paint more frequently.
what are yours??

xxL

it's time for a holiDance party!!!

come one, come all.
we want to see your bells and whistles.

the BE NICE girls

she is the muse to my best pop melody.

my dear darling gals at COURT are living the dream...
designing the perfect denim to cover the covetable asses of the world.

we had a meeting about me shooting their lookbook towards the end of summer+started brain storming concepts...but as so often happens scheduling got in the way and our city shoot didn't come to fruition...so as i was gearing up for our western adventures i suggested that they just give us some jeans to go and we'd see if magic could be made. i mean mercedez has been my muse for 12 years, so how could it go wrong?!

we shot from new mexico to the mojave to vegas to big sur...
+while there were plenty of awkward quick changes in the car...the experience was perfection--probably my favorite way to shoot fashion: having a blast--rainbow chasing through parking lots in vegas, smoke bomb experiments, climbing joshua trees in a head dress (not recommended actually), and countless other fortuitous friendly fashionable moments.

COURT jeans are available at COURT SHOP on mulberry...so go get your high waisters, dreamy bells, skinnies and sweetassed awesome on pronto!!

i promise you'll thank me later;)

it shines like a snake and drags like a broom..and i feel fine.

picked up this bonkers shiny leopard maxi at the friends+family (major:) sale at creatures of comfort....slightly under the influence of some kir royale and hilarity.
it makes me very glad.

give me the finger and i'll hold up the globe.

cedez+i stopped by angela's holiday market last weekend+got our nails did right.
i got down with the gold leopard minx madness...check out cedez's fly combo here.
