The model is May Lindstrom with Next Model Management. She is wearing a pair of my 12mm South Sea Pearl earrings with 18k gold Starfish. There's also a preview shot of one of my new Magical Garden clutches--it's fuschia Italian lambskin covered with handmade flowers also made out of Italian lambskin. I won't be showing to stores until the fall, but in case..http://www.trustyourstyle.com/2008/07/maryjomatsumotocom-updated-finally.html ever wonder where I blog from- July 31, 2008 I love waking up and seeing an overcast morning through the shutters at my desk. You're not getting the whole picture--I'm waiting for a rug (for under the desk), file cabinets (off to the left), and an Eames chair (to go under my Binth prints) to arrive, but for the moment I sort of like the sparseness. I also love that there's a tree that constantly flowers and reaches high enough to brush against the window.When I bought the house, this room, which is actually more of a loft area, was...http://www.trustyourstyle.com/2008/07/ever-wonder-where-i-blog-from.html i'm so glad tys readers have a sense of humor. really.- July 30, 2008 This Banksy-inspired email just in from an anon reader:"...btw I soooooooo want to vandalize TYS and slap this on every single one of those gorgeous fashion photos."

Thanks for making me crack up this afternoon.http://www.trustyourstyle.com/2008/07/im-so-glad-tys-readers-have-sense-of.html heavenly eye candy- July 30, 2008 I just can't seem to shake the dreamy fashion photog mode I've slipped into. Loving this ad campaign for Swarovski--more heavenly work by Sofia Sanchez and Mauro Mongiello using Korean supermodel Daul Kim.This photog duo has gotten under my skin. Here is another spread by Sofia and Mauro that caught my eye. They used model Meghan Collison in these DaliMagritte infused photos. It's from the March 2008 Numero 91.And finally, back to reality (sort of)...heading toward fall. I love the jewel tones.http://www.trustyourstyle.com/2008/07/heavenly-eye-candy.html bathing beauty- July 29, 2008 I'm on a fashion photog kick right now and was swooning over these photos that Sofia Sanchez & Mauro Mongiello took of Coco Rocha (one of my all-time fav models) for Numro 94 JuneJuly 2008. Are these not to just die for (I found the images via styliste who originally posted it on ru-glamour--got to love the internet!)For more on Coco Rocha, check out the video below. She is so adorable!http://www.trustyourstyle.com/2008/07/bathing-beauty.html dreamy fashion photog- July 28, 2008 This photo makes me want to pack up and head for Paris...It's Monday, does anyone feel like working today I don't and so I was catching up with a little blog-land reading. I've had my eye on photographer Gilles-Marie Zimmermann (check out all his lush Cartier, Celine, and Dior ads) for some time and Ez over at Creature Comforts recently posted a G-M Zimmermann photo, reminding me how much I love his other-wordly sensibility combined with high fashion. Enjoy!http://www.trustyourstyle.com/2008/07/dreamy-fashion-photog.html gimme some lip- July 26, 2008 Hello, I am Mary Jo and I am a lip glossbalmstick-a-holic. Sad but true, it's one of my vices. I keep a fishbowl of all of the above mentioned by my desk and my bag is usually stuffed with three or four options too. The good news is that I'm on top of the latest and greatest lip wear and have a few fab products to suggest that might perk up your summer--plus they cost a lot less than a new pair of Prada sandals. First off is Cosmoholic, the new liquid lipstick that goes on like gloss but has...http://www.trustyourstyle.com/2008/07/gimme-some-lip.html happy birthday di!- July 24, 2008 Di Overton, the fab design blogger, maker of Ghost Furniture, and one of my design icons, invited me over to her world-wide birthday party over by the river at her home in Northumberland. I thought I'd bring you along, click here for the details.Since I'll have to attend this party virtually, I thought I'd share my party outfit and gifts.First, you can never go wrong with a nice box of Ladure Macaroons.

I'm not saying it's going to be your cup of tea, but if you want to have some fun, then keep reading...photo by ADAM TSCHORN, courtesy LATIt was bad enough that I was on vacation and missed Kanye's whole show within a show at Paris Fashion Week at the beginning of..http://www.trustyourstyle.com/2008/07/kanye-west-fashion-art-design.html catching up with life- July 22, 2008 The Zinc Cafe in Laguna Beach; painting by Morgan-Samuel-PriceSorry for the late post today. I don't have much of an excuse other than I have been trying to enjoy life a little more since returning from my week at the Golden Door. I was meaning to write about the many goodies that showed up while I was out of town--several boxes with all kinds of wonderful organic beauty products--but that will just have to wait. One of the things I realized while I was away is that outside of work, I'd...http://www.trustyourstyle.com/2008/07/catching-up-with-life.html |
