New York winters tend to be cold and windy, and linger too much. By the end of February, I’m ready for spring! My mind is fixated on sunshine, pretty heels and flower blossoms – even if I have to get fake ones! This antique frame in the picture came from a hotel that was going out of business and selling off stuff. It used to contain a mirror which fell out under its own weight; but the frame remained. I decorated it with lights and flowers to symbolize the welcoming of her majesty, Spring.

I love this skirt. Must have worn it on a hundred occasions.

Unicorn tights were custom-made by my friend Gilda!

I can’t wait to be able to wear pretty stuff again – coats, berets, colorful tights, neon lipstick. When magnolia blossoms fall, I will take a stroll down my street feeling rejuvenated and free…

Deerlings: What do you look forward to the most in the spring?

Back in August the lovely Audrey Kitching and I did a photoshoot for one of my lipsticks called My Beautiful Rocket. The concept for the shoot was based on the story I dreamed up about a girl from the future who buys her first rocket, similar to how we get our first car, and takes her friend for a ride through outer space!

I have to say, this was easily the most fun photoshoot I’ve ever done. Audrey is a sweetheart and a pleasure to work with, if you can call wearing helmets and pretending you’re in space work that is!! Check out the candids or watch the Making Of video.

Our outfits were made by the amazing design duo Jeantrix Clothing Co.!

I loved the concept so much, I decided to make it into a wallpaper – I mean, what can be better than having a hot pink rocket blown up on your screen?? The post-production took forever but was well-worth it, and I really hope you like the finished result. :) By the way, this wallpaper is a limited time only download, so be sure to grab it while you can!

You may remember Atim from my Emma Bell show post. Amongst many other models, she stood out with her dark skin, incredible features and friendly demeanor. I loved doing her makeup then and couldn’t wait to shoot with her again! Finally such opportunity presented itself last week – Atim came over to my house and we shot in our living room-turn-photo studio. Here are some behind-the-scenes photos:

It’s very interesting to see how different colors look on different skin tones.

Applying lashes. Before you ask, I mixed that crazy nail polish myself!
