fly your pretty wings around

Funny story. One day I was studying. Happened to spot this guy with a really nice camera, struck a conversation with him, and next thing you know we're running around town living the dream. I did a mini-interview with W.ill, the man behind the lens.

p.s. yes, those are balls in my drink. Bet yall don't know NOTHIN bout that.

1) how did you get into photography?

I didn't photography got into me, it just kinda clicked, I have a lot of people that support my work and make me want to do better work. I've been taking photos for as long as i can remember and I didn't realize I had so much love for it until recently.

2) where do you find your inspiration?

From beauty, Its really hard to be inspired with the monotony of everyday life, when I can finally snap shots all day and not have monetary constraints, then inspiration wont be far away ( if that makes any sense ) but I have found a muse if she'll have me, and she is just the catalyst I need to keep going, I draw my energy from others

3) What do you think makes you different from other photographers?

Nothing, unless your talking about bad, rich or unprofessional photographers, Im the opposite of those guys

4) If you could tell people one thing about you as an artist, what would it be?

Im not sure if i consider myself an artist, I just document what I see as art, whether it be a gorgeous stylish woman, or a beautifully engineered building, I just want anyone that views my images to feel what I felt when I compressed the shutter

5) Are there any artists that influence your style?

Not really, I love many different types of artists but my influence varies by what Im shooting, I never take a shot thinking "what would Demarchelier or Ansil Adams do?"

6) What's playing on your ipod right now?

I was actually just listening to one of my best friends stuff, he just sent me a new song, his name is The Shaman and I guess the name of the song is "Hun"... look him up why don't cha!!

7) If you saw a stylish woman walking down the street, what would she be wearing that would make you want to stop her and ask to take her picture?

Wow there is so many possibilities it would have to be kinda weird and original and of course daring, I love when women are confident and aren't afraid of their bodies

Got you all fired up with your Napoleon complex

I made a new friend.
I like to call him W.ill.
Because his photography skillz are sick.

Thanks to the people over at Red Light PR for these awesome Jee Vice shades. These Red Hots have been worn by the likes of Kim Kardashian, LiLo, and Anne Hathaway and it's easy to see why. It's seriously like a potent shot of ultimate glamour bad ass to any outfit.

American Eagle used to be my go-to place for casual basics and yes, those cute grandma underwear. I had an old gift card that needed using so I picked up this perfect tissue tee. Otherwise, I really can't stand that store anymore.

These Steve Maddens are like an overtly tacky version of the infamous Guccis. But I seem to be fashionably attracted to anything overtly tacky these days.

Lingerie part 2

Thrifted belt, Walgreens sunglasses)

• Onesie intimates are so incredibly versatile and obviously bring a little bit of the sex factor into any outfit. If I were living anywhere else where fashion mattered, I'd definitely experiment with wearing the onesie alone with some hose, a long chunky sweater, and some beatup boots.

• I was so inspired to find some leather shorts similar to Chloe Sevigny's x Opening Ceremony. I took a trip to my local Salvation Army and stumbled across these comparable suede ones. Ebay has a large selection of leather shorts but I'm hesitant to buy any because there's a thin line between a cute vintage fit and looking just plain dated (in a bad way).

• I sort of said 'Aw' when I saw this photo of David Beckham helping his wife block a potential crotch shot from the paparazzi. 10 times better than opening the door for your woman, if you ask me. Chivalry is definitely not dead.

Worse Idea Ever

(Ralph Lauren cardigan, Value Village bustier, Cheap Monday jeans,
Steve Madden leopard flats, Hecho a Mano necklace)

• I was in search of a (1) bustier a couple of weeks ago. It happened to be a 50% off Wednesday at both Salvation Army AND Value Village. I scrounged up 3 bustiers and 2 onesies, one of the the onesies being Christian Dior. One of the bustiers I used for my most recent DIY and yes it's finished! It will make an appearance soon.

• FYI, it's peach not pink. I swear.
  

• The great thing about high-waisted is you can wear the most miniscule top and still pull it off. The reviews for these jeans were conveniently not available when I purchased them and are pretty accurate. Even with their fits-more-likea-legging-than jeans, I've been wearing them nonstop.

• Stopped by Saks to check out their sale and made the mistake of trying on the Gucci Lucy platforms. They really are freaking spectacular in person and even better worn. It's like 5 pounds, 6 inches of luxurious, ridiculous goodness on each foot. I swear my heart soared.

• I tried on these Stuart Weitzmans too, which were pretty awesome but after the Guccis, my inspiration to buy anything other kind of shutoff.

Love from Puerto Rico

• Pictures taken in Isabella with the extremely talented IAN
• Ended up getting this Victoria Secret monokini. I'm in love and it's already been deemed the 'James Bond' swimsuit.
• Staying true to my self-proclaimed title, I wore my glasses under my enormous Urban Outfitters shades. Don't judge me.
