Photo's Before U2 Concert

We received free tickets from my sister-in-laws boyfriend (THANKS VAR!) to a Lenny Kravitz/U2 concert. I LOVE Lenny & was so excited to see him (I like U2 too-but Lenny is just soooo cool & hot!)

Now that I got that out of the way...we did a pre-concert/pre-date night photo shoot. I love capturing the moments before our special outings, when we're excited and anticipating all the fun we're about to have. So here's a few of our pics:

I love him-can you tell?

 

 

Always making the goofy faces...

 

my turn...

 

He's always cracking me up so I guess this is what I'm doing most of the time (watching him to see what he'll do next!)

 

 

 

 I found this top at my fav local vintage store (Dee Lux) for $10.00. It was a little shorter than I like so I just added a black tank under it. Glasses: (Gucci) which I took to my eye doctor & had them made into prescription sunglasses for $100.00 (best $$ I've ever spent!)  I recommend this to anyone who needs prescription sunglasses-take in a favorite pair & have them converted. Jeans: J&Company

(Laurel style) bought 5 years ago at an outlet sale for $30.00. Check out their site-these jeans are so comfortable!

Jullien Herrera-Sisley F/W Campaign

When you become a model, you know that the most important thing you can do to move your career forward directly onto the fast lane is to book a campaign.

My son Jullien, who is represented by one of the top agencies, Major Model Management ( & also by the following agencies from around the world: MGM (Paris), FASHION (Milan), MODELWERK (Hamburg), MandP MODELS (London)-just landed his first campaign for SISLEY's F/W 2010.

He is currently living in New York-just got his first apt., & is supporting himself at 18.

Not bad for a normal kid from Orange County, California!

I Won

So I have to admit, I have a guilty little pleasure that I still indulge in...not financially of course but via the internet...

Back in the day I used to be sooo into fashion, buying the latest cool things. Going to Melrose Ave. every weekend to find a cool outfit to wear out to the hottest L.A. clubs. Even my work clothes were high fashion.

Unfortunately, as you get older you have to tone down the style or you look like an old lady trying to be young (yuck). Okay, I'm not that old...isn't 40's the new 30's?

But another issue is, Beach Living. When you live by the beach it's all about casual, layed back fashion. Even on those nights out...jeans & maybe a dressy shirt & strappy shoes or boots. You show up somewhere too dressed up & people look at you like, "What is she doing? Who is she trying to impress? Doesn't she get it? IT'S THE BEACH! Put on your flip flops and relax!"

I guess it's nice when you're on a budget...you never have to invest in high $ fashion.

But I can't help getting a little envious of places like New York, Paris, Milan...the clothes are to die for!

When I need to curb my cravings...I often indulge in Fashion Blogs.

I LOVE Fashion Blogs.

Recently I began following Bravegrrl's Blog. Stop by & check out her fashion...she is so adorable & edgy. I love people who are "their own person"...they do their thing & it looks cool.

She had a contest for a vintage purse. I loved it!

And I actually WON!!


I can just picture this purse going to New York with me to visit my son. It's versatile & will look perfect even with jeans & a dressy top for those nights here too.

So once I get it, I'll post some beach fashion pics...with my new vintage purse of course!

THANKS BRAVEGRRL!

Don't ya love it?!
