Zoe Jones, loves making pretty things



I came across this site and was amazed to find such an all around talented girl named Zoe Jones from the UK. She is a Photographer, Stylist, Jewelry Maker for Junk Jewels and probably so much more. Zoe does some pretty nice work and I thought I should share. Check out her site Zoe Jones

L.A.M.B Fall '09

I'm really dig'n the first Jacket... and those black heals.







Speaking of Gwen it looks like she and the boys from No Doubt will be making an appearance on the Gossip Girl spin off as a fictional 80's band called "Snowed Out". Which is a bummer because I loved Gwen's cartoonish Disney Land character inspired style waaay back in the day when No Doubt were little young ones, it would have been nice to see that style in the show... but it makes sense since the time frame of the G.G. spin off wouldn't match up to when No Doubt was playing their first shows.

I don't think her wardrobe for the show is very "80's" but then again I haven't seen the episode, maybe it works somehow.



Here is a video of a young Gwen repairing her costume with a glue gun before a gig. It's so cute at one point the interviewer asks if she make clothes for other people and she says "No Way! I don't even have time"... ha ha. I have always loved Gwen I think she has been the longest standing style icon for me. I know some of her outfits and hair styles have been just outrageous but thats what's so great about her, she has the confidence to wear and do whatever she wants.

Smoking Everywhere

This post really isn't about fashion, or it could be but its mostly about smoking everywhere without the nasty effects of tobacco. I personally don't smoke cigarettes but a good friend of mine does and has been trying to quit and in hopes to do so she has started using the Smoking Everywhere electronic cigarette. The idea is its suppose to help ween her off of the real thing, kinda like the patch. Except unlike the patch you still exhale "smoke" because of the vaporizer, it's crazy how this thing works. I'm not really sure this will help since this allows her to "smoke" everywhere and still she smokes real cigarettes when we venture outside, because the strength of the electronic cigarette is not as powerful as puffing on the real thing.




I will say this device does help me, because when I was doing my friends make up on a recent photo shoot I didn't have to deal with real cigarette smoke being blown in my face. Maybe all models should start smoking these to spare the few who don't smoke (ha ha, the very few)... and it might help on the skin care products and teeth bleaching they spend money on to stay looking in tip top model shape. I was also doing make up on a video shoot yesterday and one of the actors was saying how nice it it to get his make up done by someone whose hands don't smell like cigarettes. Smoking really is a nasty addiction.

P.S. the model smoking is not my friend I was talking about.

CHANEL No5

I absolutely adore Audrey Tautou and this new commercial for CHANEL. The wardrobe/styling is great, so is that hot guy who catches her interest.

I personally think Audrey is a much better "face" for the brand than Nicole Kidman was, not that I don't think Nicole is a beautiful woman. I guess I'm more partial to big doe eyes and dark hair... plus Audrey is actually french. I can't wait to see Audrey in "Coco avant Chanel".
