Spectrum


My best friend Elyssa and I had a ton of fun taking Stingy Style's first ever photoshoot!! Taken with my Richard Phillips "Spectrum" painting, this white on white combo stood out with so many colors!
Plus-she requested the lime green China Glaze nailpolish, Lys- you are such a goof.

Style Books--Start Collecting!

amThese are some books that I think should be on everyone's bookshelves. The photos are just inspiring and you could stare and inspect them forever. 
Also makes for a great coffee table book, not gonna lie.
...if you're into that.

"Juergen Teller, Cindy Sherman, Marc Jacobs"


"Juergen Teller, Cindy Sherman, Marc Jacobs", $33.85 NEW, Stingy Style Store
 
Cindy Sherman is one of my all-time favorite photographers. She is considered a portrait photographer, but she only ever photographs herself in different "disguises." Thus some don't consider her a photographer at all (since she really never snaps the photo), some would just call her a set designer, or costume designer. None the less, if you would recognize Marc Jacobs print campaigns from magazines, you should already know Cindy Sherman because she is the one who started Marc's campaigns comme ça. 

In this book, Cindy Sherman and Juergen Teller teamed up to photograph themselves for Marc Jacobs clothing line.

Here are some spreads from the book, her style is...entertaining to say the least.

I'm dying laughing at that baby...

"TARA DONOVAN" 
"TARA DONOVAN", $29.70 NEW, Stingy Style Store

Tara Donovan is a contemporary sculptor whom (whom?) I completely admire. Her works are extraordinary and they literally keep you guessing. She usually makes installations of everyday objects such as styrofoam cups, pencil shavings, straws, etc., but uses them in mass to make them look more of nature...less materialistic? Make sense?...didn't think so. Maybe after you see some examples...


I'm still dying laughing at that baby...

"Extreme Beauty in Vogue"
 "Extreme Beauty in Vogue", $34.65 NEW, Stingy Style Store 


 "Extreme Beauty in Vogue" was written in collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana and explores the most edgy, bizarre, and crazy spreads that Vogue has produced. These photographs really push the boundaries of contemporary beauty, taken by some of the most distinguished photographers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Add Some Pizazz to Your Plain Ole Garb

 I have so many plain cotton dresses that always need some spicing up! An easy way to do that is with large, statement jewelry (which seems to be my jewelry style of choice...) This tribal bib necklace can definitely stand as a main piece in any outfit! The tribal details will also give another dimension to an otherwise plain look.
