...GAFF!

It's taken me a little while to put up these pictures, mainly because I wanted to compile them a little bit better, but I think I'll just leave them the way they are. I did a little hair modeling for a really awesome hair salon called Gaff. It's a simple blow and curl but they did a very tasteful job. Gaff and Yuuk have been featured in many big magazines like Elle and Bazaar. I have a few pictures of some of the things they've done and posted a few pictures that my boyfriend took while they shot me :)

Sorry for being a little absent the last week or so. But to make up for it I have a lot of little goodies.

...Rumi Neely!

Rumi Neely is my new obsession. Although I've known about her through her blog for a while now, I've recently been seeing her EVERYWHERE! So, I'd love to add to her publicity :)

Rumi is a half Japanese half model from Cali. She's created a name for herself through her blog about personal style and the things she likes to buy and sell. She is the face of FOREVER 21 and is hoping to become a stylist. More recently she has received awards in the categories of "Blogger of the Year" and "Best Personal Style Blog." I also spotted her in the New York Times fashion section. 

Please check her out on her blog http://www.fashiontoast.com/ and at this article!! Enjoy!
