Today I had a sweet brainstorming session with seasoned commercial photographer (and my newest collaborator – stay tuned), Steven Meckler and David Olsen, the founder of Tucson’s Urban glossy Zocalo Magazine, who have dubbed me their new Fashion Director. YAY. Not fully grasping what that meant until after said meeting, I attempted to dress the part – eye-catching, but classic and professional. What better thing to wear than possibly my all-time tippety top most flattering dress, this buttery leather rucksack (thank you, Thomas Lyte!), and the most comfortable, versatile loafers in existence.

I just love that dress. It is actually both classic and professional. The earrings are also attractive. You can really notice them because of the style of her hair. Great dress. Great photography – I like the way the pictures were taken.
I love the hair just perfect for the shape of her face. Also the stripe dress is always in style and trendy…
