Spring is in the air. And then it’s not. But those precious moments of warmer weather are inspiring.
Bring on the bright sun and bright colors.
I’ve chosen some of my favored yellow pieces from Michael Kors.
This Jet Set Travel Medium Logo Dome Crossbody Bag is fun and functional.
It will always look sunny with these Kendall I Sunglasses.

There’s been quite a few successful collabs lately with some major fashion houses.
When I heard about Balmain working with Barbie I wasn’t sure it was even true.
Moschino had already pulled it off. Putting our blond, plastic childhood friend on their Spring Runway in 2015.
But Moschino is a fun, quirky brand. And Balmain is like their Old Money, conservative grandmother.
But I decided to give it a chance and check it out.
Barbie and her friends were brought to life with this collection.
Bubblegum pink Balmain Print from head to toe.
Several fun pieces.
Outfits that look like they came straight from the closet of Barbie’s Dream House.
I’m taken back to my childhood with this bag. It reminds me of the case I carried my beloved dolls around in.
Iconic Balmain pieces are now in hot pink prints.
Neiman Marcus Stores looked like Malibu Barbie would be walking through at any minute.
I feel like this Collab missed the mark. Unlike successful partnerships with previous designers, this one didn’t represent both brands in individual pieces. And don’t even get me started on the prices!!
All in all, it was fun to look and and great pieces for serious collectors.
Since Barbie is now 63 years old perhaps it time to shop at Balmain and choose some neutral, classic pieces. Just not from this line.
Here’s a few of my top pics from their President’s Day Sale!
The Kris Small Pebbled Leather Satchel is marked down from $298 to $99!
This trendy Jet Set Travel Small Logo Shoulder Bag with Pouches is marked way down. Usually $448 it’s now just $199!
This Small Saffiano Leather 3-in-1 Card Case is a great deal marked down from $148 to $39!
And with winter still in full force this Logo Jacquard Scarf is a steal marked down from $88 to $39.
Get some great deals this weekend at Michael Kors!

There’s nothing like being at a Casting Call, Photo Shoot or Fashion Show and realizing you forgot something.
Here’s the Top 10 things you should pack in your model bag.
1. Your Portfolio.
Head shots, comp cards etc. Make it neat and organized.
2. Makeup Palette.
Ladies bring your normal foundations, concealers etc and a variety of eyeshadow options. Guys, let concealer and bronzer be your friend.
3. Undergarments.
Skin toned and black. Bras and panties for the ladies, boxers, briefs and tanks for the fellas. A black and a white button down just to be on the safe side never hurt.
4. Shoes.
Girls need Nude and black heels, and perhaps a couple of pair of flats as well. Guys bring Black, white and no show socks. ladies make sure you’re comfortable walking in the shoes you bring. Nothing ruins a look like wobbling around in heels you’re not used to wearing.
5. Hair Products.
You know your hair better than anyone. Bring your regular products. Extra hair ties, Bobby pins, hair gel, hairspray are a must.
6. Skincare.
Hand sanitizer is more important than ever these days. Makeup remover, deodorant that won’t leave residue, lotion and mouthwash should be staples.
7. Sewing Kit.
Every imaginable color of thread. Go ahead and thread a few needles with some of the threads for quick repairs. Extra buttons, safety pins, boob tape and shoes pads will come in handy.
8. Phone charger.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a model sprawled out in the floor next to an outlet charging their phone. You’re normally at a show or shoot for several hours. And we’re always on our phones. Bring a portable charger just in case so everyone isn’t fighting over an outlet.
9. Snacks
Healthy snacks and bottles of water are much needed. Yes, models do eat! Stay hydrated!
10. A good attitude.
Leave the negativity and sense of entitlement at home. No matter how beautiful you are on the outside, if you’re ugly on the inside it’s going to show through.
Make sure you choose a bag that’s roomy and durable. No cutesy cartoony bags. Nothing offensive, ripped or dirty.
L Howard Artistry makes beautiful, unique bags that hold up and express your personality while still giving you a professional look.
The most important thing to bring with you to any shoot, call or show is a smile and your A Game.
