70s inspired
I like the colours and how they flow. I’m embarrassed to tell you who the designer is…because you might not like it anymore. I’ll give you a clue. Her luxury brand is called KMS. yup Kimora Lee Simons for Baby Phat.
India
More beautiful colours, jewels and saree. I wish I had an event so I could drape myself in these lovely embroidered garments. Can’t wait to attend an Indian wedding and/or shoot it.
LITTER mb
Ok first off I have to THANK Clarissa for hooking me up with sharing a link to another blogger LITTER mb. Click that link and you will find Mackenzie a beautiful blonde, legs for days, who has great style, runs a great blog of inspiring fashion photographs and most importantly she designs the best accessories.
She likes my blog, I love her headpieces. Our friendship is a sealed deal! I’m trying hard not to break the bank, but I want to own all the headpieces!
Mackenzie has a beautiful sister named Rachel, this sister team designs cuffs, suspenders, SEXY boot/shoe straps and bandage skirts as well. Go tell them hello and pick up one of those very unique items on their etsy site. I will rock their headpieces every other day even just to go grocery shopping 
Get to know the girls behind the litter:
RACHEL
When I was a child I wanted to be… A veterinarian, until my Dad told me I would have to put animals to sleep sometimes, so I changed my mind.
If I could change one thing about myself…I would follow my heart more often.
The moment that changed me for ever….Adopting my dog Ruby when I was 16. She is my everything.
My greatest inspiration…Cesar Milan, the Dog Whisperer.
My style icon….Wes Anderson. I know he’s not a fashion icon, but I love his style in life and film.
My favourite item of clothing…My Chloe cave man fox fur vest. I refuse to wear it because its so offensive, but its amazing!
I wish I’d never worn…I bought, and carried a black rabbit fur mini purse with rhinestones one night a few years ago, and to this day I haven’t been able to live it down with my friends. The bring it up constantly.
What I see when I look in the mirror…I see my Mom.
You wouldn’t know it but I’m very good at…Interior Design
You may not know it but I’m no good at…Making new friends.
All my money goes on…Wine and food.
If I have time to myself…I stay in bed and snuggy my animals
I drive/ride…I drive a burgundy audi station wagon named “Merlot”. It fits a lot of stuff, but it smells like dog ass.
My house/flat is…My favorite place to be. Its one of a kind, and fits who I am. Its dramatic and earthen.
My most valuable possession is…A gold locket that my grandma gave me. It was my great great grandfathers. It has an “R” on it in Old English lettering. Its beautiful.
A book that changed me…This is kind of lame, because there are so many amazing books out there, but this coffee table book I got changed my life. Its called “The Big Penis Book”. Its like 300 pages of the most giant penises ever photographed. Dating from like the 1930’s to now. Those images stay with you forever. Scary.
The last album I bought/downloaded…Metronomy! They crack me up.
The shop I can’t walk past…Past Perfect in San Francisco. Its an antique store with so much style.
In ten years time, I hope to be…Living on a coastal ranch with 10 dogs, horses, children, and hopefully a husband.
My greatest regret…Not traveling enough. I am going to fix that.
My secret indulgent…Cat breath.
What are you most vain about…My outfit. I would miss my best friends wedding if I didn’t feel good about my outfit.
What are you most shy about…Not setting goals because I am shy about not achieving them.
How did I start my line…It was my sisters idea originally. I was there every step of the way helping her, but when it came to really making it happen, it got on board with her full time. I have different style than she does, so we both bring something unique to the table.
What will you see in the future….I think if my sister and I can stay on the head of the curve with our designs, Litter can be a success. We want to eventually open our own boutique, where we can showcase all of our designs, including the furniture and home accessories we want to get into doing as well.
Blogs are used for….Networking and getting first views of the latest trends.
My life in seven words…Family. Animals. Love. Wine. Dancing. Creativity. Fear.
MACKENZIE
When I was a child I wanted to be…A mascot for a major sports team. Like the Stanford Tree or something.
The moment that changed me for ever….Pretending like I was sick so I didn’t have to play in the biggest Volleyball game of my high school career.
My greatest inspiration…My Gramiss.
If I could change one thing about myself…I would tell people “NO” more often.
What I see when I look in the mirror…A red door and I want it painted black….
My style icon….Karl Lagerfeild
My favourite item of clothing…My Matador Uniform
I wish I’d never worn…I begged my parents for this Light Blue fake fur with purple zebra striped pimp coat from wet seal. They finally got it for me and I cried with joy all day and never actually ended wearing it because every body made fun of me. It was hideous. I was in 8th grade!
You wouldn’t know it but I’m very good at…Camping in the wilderness. My parents sent me to boot camp, and I had to light fires with sticks and dried cow poop.
You may not know it but I’m no good at…Keeping a boyfriend
All my money goes on…Goodwills, flea markets, yard sales.
If I have time to myself…When am I not by myself? When I am alone I like to create things.

My greatest regret…I don’t regret because everything I did in my past got me here today
My secret indulgent…Anytime there is a girl in the room with big boobs, I always feel like I have to stare at them or try and touch them by pretending to accidentally brush up against them.
What are you most vain about…My outfits.
What are you most shy about…I have a disease called Raynoids. It makes my feet and hands turn purple.

My trip to Vegas for my husbands birthday and valentines =)
I had the best long weekend thanks to my husband.
I had great company, my other half, the love of my life, my husband. MY VALENTINE =)
AMAZING food… Aureole Restaurant, Sushi @ Nobu, morning pastries, brunch at the bellagio….NEED to get on my running shoes and tone up after eating all that good food =)
Venetian gave my husband a LOUIS VUITTON business card holder. SCORE!
We went to amazing shows. Crazy Horse Paris Great place to watch beautiful women. The dancers are recruited by Dita von Teese herself and they stay true to the European cabaret aura. It’s very classy, sexy and the women are free of implants! The stage is more like a frame showcasing artwork. It was very artistic and I will def try to shoot them for sure!
We also went to Zumanity. This show was the BEST. The host Mistress of Sensuality was hilarious and very engaging and the tricks and talent these people have are CRAZY. If you’re in Vegas you def have to check them out.
Be sure to let me know what others shows to ck out next time!
House of Harlow Part II the saga continues…
Ok so why does Ms. Richie have this beautiful triangle headpiece and the one Kitson sent me looks dinky? False advertisement sucks.
Bollywood
Marrakech
The beautiful Riad Trabel is a stunning guesthouse mixed with old colonial Riads with traditional arab-andalousian architecture. I hope to visit Morocco one day!
Tranny Fierce
The Blonds. Two Desingers David and Phillip Blond. They are all about glitter and glamour and totally tranny fierce! The last few pics are the two designers.
