Lee Lee's Valise

When I was recently in Brooklyn(my first time ever, and definitely not my last), I ran into a wonderful boutique called Lee Lee's Valise at 368 Court St. The perfect setting in the most perfect neighbourhood. It was like I had found a gold mine. The accessories, the clothing, and the handbags were girly, one of a kind and fabulous! The boutique specializes in sizes 10-28 in every budget range for every lifestyle of every real woman. I had been looking everywhere for that special, one of a kind handbag in NYC. Running out of time and wondering the streets, I bumped into this store. I saw and purchased a beautiful, messenger style, black textured, leather bag with gold hardware and zippers, edgy and cool in a one of a kind way. I was so excited! To my surprise, the bag was made in Canada, specifically in Montreal by a company called Miss Mak. Unique and exceptional leather goods with interesting details that are rare and whimsical. If your ever in the Brooklyn area, I suggest you check out Lee Lee's Valise. It's the kind of boutique that makes you feel good inside and out with that warm Brooklyn feeling...

Montreal Beauties

I just did a show in Montreal on the weekend and had a blast. Long days, little sleep and lots of beauty. The models in Montreal were lovely and sweet. A great show can never be great without the models. These girls were exceptional and open to helping out in whatever it took to help get the creative message out there. A lot of heavy lining, sitting still and patience. These looks are reflective of some of the trends we are seeing right now in makeup. Big bold precise lips, defining the bow, a welcome back to the 1920's(Clara Bow). Eyes drenched in heavy black eyeliner and eyeshadow carried all the way up into the eyebrow, a throw back to the very big 1980's trend today. These are some pics I took on my i phone...
