During the pandemic photoshoots were not an option. As fashion editor of West Luxury and Westlake Magazines I continued to create editorial stories and content using stock images and those provided by designers and clients.
Feeling Sentimental
March 25, 2021
This last year has affected all of us in some way. Whatever your experience, you likely have been moved by some of the stories of love, loss, and heroism. It’s hard to imagine that the need for connection before has been this important. People are feeling sentimental and vulnerable and looking for ways to stay close to family and friends. Bespoke jewelry is one way to speak to feeling sentimental and to keep special people, who might be physically far away, nearby at all times.
Eco-Friendly Fashion
February 22, 2021
With wacky weather globally and devastating storms sweeping our country, eco-friendly fashion is increasingly important.

As a result, many use their platforms for social change, with a global reach offering socially conscious discussions. Likewise many allow us to explore the world via social media in ways that are enlightening and inspiring, both textually and visually, especially now with increased time at home that has forced upon (given) us even more time in front of our computers or on our phones.
Influencers to follow
I find it uplifting to follow as many creative forces as possible, from fashion and art to food and travel, to get different perspectives on beauty, style and presentation. We reached out to a unique mix of local style bloggers (primarily based in Los Angeles) and asked them about what inspires their vision and content. On these pages are their images that captivated us as well as their answers to this question: What influences fashion influencers?

It’s almost the Fourth of July and summer is in full swing. So whether you’re celebrating by watching fireworks (lucky enough to be in a spot that’s shooting them off), driving down along the beach or barbecuing by a pool, your outfit to celebrate Independence Day (and beyond during these hot and sunny days) likely consists of a bathing suit and the all-so-necessary cover-up. Here, helpful guidelines to choosing a beach cover-up.
