Runway MY Way
"Glam Rock Shoot"
Happy Thursday Luv's,
So I hope everyone has had a good week despite the monsoon of a rainstorm we have seen the past few days. God must be incredibly angry at all of us because this rain was NO JOKE. Smh.
Anyways, I wanted to share with you all my experience from my recent shoot this past weekend. I finally did my "Glam Rock" shoot. I was extremely excited. Just to back pedal for a bit, I know my fellow creatives (photographers, models, stylists etc) know what its like to produce a good shoot. It can be an incredibly easy task, incredibly hard or in between. This one, after finally getting everyone's busy schedules to match up was very easy. We did the shoot in a studio instead of on location which was a pleasant change for myself. Everyone came fairly on time, with creative juices and ready to do the damn thing. Much love to the photographer, model and mua. I could not have asked for a better shoot day :-).
Yanni.

Personal Update: Thru My Eyes
Hi Luv's,
I cannot believe how nippy it is outside. It's damn near cold. I do love Fall, but ugh the cold only reminds me that Winter is literally knocking at the door. All week I refused to wear a jacket. I was doing it up with sweaters heavy on the layering hehe. However; tomorrow it looks like I am going to have to pull out the bomber.
So what has Yanni been up to?
Well I've been on a crazii rollercoaster ppl. Extremely crazii. All aspects of my life have been doing a number on poor little me, but we have to take the good with the bad right?
Today was my relaxation day. I start my new pt gig next week so that should be interesting. Hopefully, it works out :-/.
Last night I hung out with two of my closest homegirls and it was seriously a breathe of fresh air. We hang out like 4 or 5 times a year, but its always the best fun. I adore and love them. Good friends are priceless. Let me tell you.
Recently, I picked up the Look Book I assisted with back in August. The book looks good and everything came out great. It's really nice to see your name in the credits. Major accomplishment for the week :-)
Anyways, I am currently working on doing two shoots. I am truly hoping that Monday works out and I can get one of them down. It's been challenging to find the perfect team, but hopefully Monday will be worth it. I am dyingggg to do this shoot. If its executed the way I envision it, its going to make me so proud :-).
The other shoot is still a work in progress, as usual, but everything worth it takes time right? These are the sacrifices you have to make to work with the best and these two photographers are really good.
Let's talk about my internship. It has definitely been a great experience. I cannot believe its been two months since I've been there. I've learned a lot and it has helped me find more direction in where exactly I am trying to go in my fashion career. If you have yet to join StyleCaster then please do so. It's an amazing site that will take fashion to the next level. Who wouldn't want to be apart of that movement?
Last, but certainly not least I might be working on another fashion show which is definitely exciting. I am waiting for more details on that, but I am very interested.
That's enough insight into my world for now hehe.

What is going on ppl?
So I was out the loop for 2.3, but I got to thinking tonight and the inspiration came along.
I was thinking about this photographer that hit me up today wanting to do a *tf* with me and I have the choice of picking the concept. When he told me that my first reaction was “awww he’s about to make me get creative with this type of freedom” then it started. SHOES, Shoes and more shoes. These insatiable things can change moods from sad to happy in the blink of an eye. When I looked at my collection it hit me that I could do some dope shoots with a few of them. All these ideas started coming together and this new photographer is definitely somebody I would like to work with. I feel his vision reflects mine and what we could potentially accomplish. So I'm sitting here thinking about my collection and my theory on shopping came to mind: random acts of buying can lead to the completed piece of a good ‘fit. Shoes can be the root of maxing out a C.C. That does not pertain to me ofcourse :-/ Anyway, not feeding your way into these pairs of addiction can lead to a broken heart, moping for days and/or extreme rationalizing of why you didn’t get it, why you couldn’t get it or both. However, when you FALL for them its seriously like love at first sight. Literally. With that being said I felt the need to share a few of mine...
A black and white checkered 4 in. pump with a one band buckle is sophistication at a budget. Simple, chic with some trend can go a long way.  Tan and white T strap Mary Jane inspired 3 ½ in. will turn some heads. These deliciously classy stilettos will compliment a timeless ‘fit.  And… Let’s not forget the mysterious fabulousity of the satin. These scream sexy, sensual and in charge. A gorgeous dress would make this red carpet acceptable.
SHOES, shoes and more shoes. Sigh...living without them IS certainly not an option.
