I found this great tartan plaid shirt at the thrift store.
I'm cleaning out iphoto, so I wanted to post a few great photos that somehow managed to be passed by. Most of these are of children, I tried to snap as many pictures of kids as I possibly could. No matter what country you're in, children steal the show.....
Brian Barnaud, R.I.P. July 24, 2009 DALLAS — Dallas photographer Brian Barnaud died unexpectedly on Friday. He was 46. According to a family friend, Barnaud hadn't been feeling well and collapsed after taking a shower; family members suspect he had heart failure. A 1981 graduate of Richardson High School, Barnaud had a successful freelance photography business, specializing in fashion, architecture, and home decor. He established himself at the Dallas Morning Newswhere he covered fashion through the 80s and 90s. He was also an early habitue of the Deep Ellum music scene in the late '80s. He'd recently been very busy on Facebook, and his Facebook page has already become a visitation site for the local fashion community, where he had a reputation for kindness in a field where kindness is unique. "He such a sweet guy, he never really had an unkind word to say about people, and that’s unusual in the fashion industry," said Tammy Theis, a stylist and art director who worked with Barnaud for many years at the DMN. "He never dwelled on negative things. He always positive and happy-go-lucky." He had an unusually ego-less approach to what he did, said Theis. "Part of his charm, and the reason he got such great pictures, was he could make fun of himself, he never took himself seriously," she said. "He'd joke around and the models would be laughing and he'd capture that." He was also on the front end of an aesthetic that has since come to rule fashion photography. "When we started working together, fashion shoots were in a studio and very posed," Theis said. "But there was this other style starting, what they now call 'lifestyle,' where models were being shot outdoors and moving around, being shot from the side, very little makeup, being very real, and that’s what Brian and I started doing." One friend, Judy Aldridge, posted a remembrance on her blog, saying, "The Dallas fashion community is small and close knit, and we are all reeling from the news. I can't say enough kind things about Brian--he was just the dearest person you would ever want to meet." He was survived by his mother Beverly Barnaud, and sister Berkeley, two nieces and a nephew. A memorial service is still being planned for next week.FROM PEGASUSNEWS.COM

Yesterday a very dear friend of mine passed away unexpectedly. Brian Barnaud. Brian was a local fashion photographer and a friend of over 20 years. The Dallas fashion community is small and close knit, and we are all reeling from the news. I can't say enough kind things about Brian--he was just the dearest person you would ever want to meet. A friend for life, someone that would do anything for you. Here are some images of his work--he was a rare talent. I talked with him several times on the phone in the past few days--I cannot believe that he is gone.
I paired this vintage flannel shirt that I wear all the time with a Y-3 leather A-line leather skirt, and Stellas...
I didn't do a thing this past weekend, and it was so nice just to be at home. (I did try hot yoga, that was brutal) A few photos I took...they're kind of random, not really a cohesive post, but here goes.
When Jane and I were in NY at the end of May, we had the opportunity to do a photo shoot for Vogue Magazine! It was so exciting! We had so much fun with the crew, and I've been dying to see the finished product--here it is......
Jane and I tried to snap a few photos but it was so windy and bright, it proved to be a difficult task. I haven't worn this Matthew Williamson dress in ages. I don't know why, it's one of my favorites!
Today Jane and I drove to the town of Roanoke, which is right next to us. Barely a mile away. After so much time in a huge metropolis like Tokyo, I felt like getting back to my Texas roots.....
