Now, in no way am I saying DC rivals Paris in beauty or art (c'mon, it's PARIS people), but there are certain key structural elements that draw inspiration from the romantic european city--- like these lovely bridges! Maybe I'm living in a dream world to think such things! Maybe not. <i>Then again, I do run around wearing tiny dresses in the winter time...</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

(in a good way) Owner Tamika had tables full of studs sequins rhinestones and glue waiting for us to exercise some creativity (and our fingers-- studs are no joke!). I loved the vibes of this place-- Studio 85 is more than just a boutique, it's a community gathering space. Finished off the day by heading to the Degas exhibit at the Phillips Collection-- seriously feel blessed to be surrounded by so many great people and events in this city!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8067300326314640369-7060406907420641931?l=lapetitemarmoset.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>La Petite Marmosethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05052792977181531741noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067300326314640369.post-1294264418489815972012-01-09T09:00:00.000-05:002012-01-09T09:09:10.952-05:00Fur is Wonder<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7028/6648422465_02f0a2f852_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7028/6648422465_02f0a2f852_z.jpg" width="424" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7004/6648423367_b44d59b86b_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7004/6648423367_b44d59b86b_z.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7141/6648427705_82e1070c25_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7141/6648427705_82e1070c25_z.jpg" width="424" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7018/6648426081_c948ff7865_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7018/6648426081_c948ff7865_z.jpg" width="424" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7158/6648433447_fc0021efa5_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7158/6648433447_fc0021efa5_z.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7153/6648430543_30b87d3804_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7153/6648430543_30b87d3804_z.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7168/6648429035_84f4b44e95_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7168/6648429035_84f4b44e95_z.jpg" width="424" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7162/6648435397_3e35b0e385_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7162/6648435397_3e35b0e385_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Hello there bacon-egg-and-swiss on whole-grain yuminess...</span></i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I know you're so bad but you taste <i>so good!</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">All photos by <a href="http://www.smf0t0.com/">Sebastian Marin</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Coat- Vintage, Velvet Dress- Thrifted J.

Well <i>get on with your bad self!</i> I am not one of them-- my earlobes are about as strong as my willpower in the gourmet chocolate section of Whole Foods. This makes it hard to wear any dangly earrings without looking like a human elephant, which is why I was so glad to find <a href="http://www.jenniferjeremias.com/">Jennifer Jeremias</a>'s line at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/revamprewear">Ginger Roots</a>--- she makes incredible geometric earrings that are light as a feather. For those of you with lobes of steel, Jeremias also does bigger GaGa-esque pieces. <i>Anyone know of some ear strengthening excercises?</i></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8067300326314640369-7482922961837546621?l=lapetitemarmoset.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>La Petite Marmosethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05052792977181531741noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8067300326314640369.post-74542921045745565562011-12-16T00:40:00.000-05:002011-12-16T10:05:00.643-05:00Blasphemy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7144/6518303949_9c09592b7e_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7144/6518303949_9c09592b7e_z.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="424" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7144/6518311103_62154fdc22_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7144/6518311103_62154fdc22_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7160/6518308121_ef3a82bd12_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7160/6518308121_ef3a82bd12_z.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7030/6518307539_a2419ab0d8_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7030/6518307539_a2419ab0d8_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7014/6518307211_31769aa4f8_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7014/6518307211_31769aa4f8_z.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7010/6518304715_52c48e8855_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7010/6518304715_52c48e8855_z.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7167/6518309459_29b377b780_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7167/6518309459_29b377b780_z.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Meet my new boyfriend...</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><i>Blazer and pendant necklace- Vintage, Dress- Vintage (From <a href="http://www.thelmasvanity.com/">Thelma's Vanity </a>reconstructed by <a href="http://lizzy-bet.tumblr.com/">Denisio Truitt</a>), Clutch- <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/86566391/golden-velvet-statement-clutch">Love Cortnie</a>, Knuckle ring- Urban Outfitters, Bracelet- gifted, Flats- Deeny & Ozzy</i></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Photos by <a href="http://www.facebook.com/SMf0t0">Sebastian Marin</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What's the best place to take photos while wearing a saucy red fringed mini dress and sequined clutch?

We were so lucky to have the ladies from<a href="http://www.wsalonva.com/"> W Salon</a> join our team<i> literally</i> the day before the shoot--- they were all so nice and made the already beautiful models turn lookbook fabulous! Some of the girls were coming right from exams/ preparing for finals (Mansi was studying impossible organic chemistry flashcards in between hair and makeup). <a href="http://www.thepresidentwearsprada.com/">Marshall</a> said that he could "barely walk" the day after our shoot--- If you can't tell from the photos above, photography and videography can be <i>very</i> physically demanding! The stylists and myself were hauling garment bags and crates up and down Hst (we even put our male model Will to work--<i>after all, he wasn't the one wearing Jeffrey Campbells</i>). My point in all this is not to brag, whine, or complain--I just wanted to express how much of a group effort this really was! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thank you readers for following our blogs over the past week and seeing how everything unfolded--- your feedback has been great!

Somehow the girls managed to eat like ravenous wolves without getting anything on their face or clothes--- this just doesn't happen in real life! The best part was when customers started queing up while the models were sitting on the counter feeding eachother (and the other 8 of us were standing around with photo equiptment/directing).

font-size: small;">Shortly after our last collaboration with Spicy Candy DC, we both decided it was time to go big--- after being inspired by our own excursions to the Hst DC area, we thought it would make the perfect backdrop for a holiday lookbook!</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> There are so many eclectic bars and restaurants that would make for good "Is this <i>really</i> in DC?" moments. We assembled a team of bloggers, photographers, models and stylists (who I took to calling "Team Awesome"... that's how I addressed the emails) who saw this as a labor of love and sacrificed time, energy, and sleep (specifically Marshall the photographer who sent our final lookbook out at 5:36 am!!) </span><span style="font-size: small;">to make it happen. If there's one thing I've learned, there's<i> </i>no flying solo on a project like this---having a supportive creative team around you makes a WORLD of difference. This is not LPM's lookbook, this is everyone's creation :)</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Thank you to the bloggers/creative team for styling and bringing the vision to life, to the photographers/ videographer for figuring out how to shed light on dark bars and the marathon editing process, and the lovely models (who in some cases had finals the next day!) for spending a day running around freezing in 5-inch heels and mini dresses (and stuffing your face with pie)-- <i>this is only the beginning!</i></span></div><br /><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A big Marmoset thank you to the following people!</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><u><b>Creative Concept</b></u></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Carlis & Katya- <a href="http://www.spicycandydc.com/" target="_blank">Spicy Candy DC</a></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Katherine Martinez- <a href="http://www.lapetitemarmoset.com/" target="_blank">La Petite Marmoset</a></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);

These girls have natural style (<i>and make me want to have a blogging partner</i>)--- I've gotten to know them through events in DC over the past couple of months and always felt like we were on similar wavelengths. We drove out to Katya's house (that used to be a church!) in rural Northern Virgina--- spent the day playing dress up and romping around in a secluded historic Civil War battlefield! As the Confederates and Yankees didn't really leave behind any dressing rooms, we ended up doing adventurous outfit changes out in the open (<i>Several old men spent a little too much time reading nearby placards... i'm sure they were just history buffs</i>). Thanks to Kim for recording, Sebastian for behind the scenes photos, and Spicy Candy for the photography, editing, lookbook and video!
