Hi, first we want to start by thanking everyone who wrote such sweet, touching comments for dear little Jasmina. The service was a beautiful celebration of her very short life. I was in New York for 5 days and returned home late Thursday night, just missing the snow storm. My welcome home was to 2 days of rain. Camilla and I had planned to do our Gigli shoot over the weekend and Sunday turned out to be the most beautiful, perfect day. After a good rain storm the sky's are always bright blue and the clouds all white and fluffy. It's like the rain washed away the smog. We named the shoot Sweet Disposition because that is the way we are choosing to live from now on. We were inspired by Jasmina and how she chose to live her short life.

With the shoot we wanted to capture the Gigli feeling but make it wear now. We mixed our vintage Gigli skirt with a midnight blue Vintage jacket. Underneath was a Cerulean blue slip from Anthropolgie and a taupe wrap knit top by Velvet. Then we added knee hi's from American Apparel and Shoes by Jeffery Campbell from LF Boutique. The outfit was topped off with a hat by Billabong. Yes, I said Billabong, it just goes to show that you can find great pieces from lots of brands, even the surf industry. We bought the hat a while ago at this great little boutique in Manhattan Beach called The BeeHive.

In case you haven't heard LF Boutique is have their "Only Sale of The Season" with markdowns at 60% off. That's where we just bought the Jeffery Campbell shoes in this shoot.

Now a Big thank You to Rock and Revolution for the best blog award


So here are a few of the blogs we love and would like to pass this on to.

Well, this has been way to long of a post I hope you enjoy:)

Oh, how I love hats. I'm currently going through a little hat obsession right now, and I have recently bought a little green wool hate made in Italy. I'm in love with the hat from the photos, and I am quite surprised to discover they are from Billabong! From all places! I guess it goes to show that shopping is a skill. :]

Beautiful photoshoot, perfect lighting gives perfect colors. And lipstic suits you and the mood very well.
I've been searching for black big hat for a while, which i want to wear with milions of layers of winter clothes, but everything i find either suits only summer clothing either looks too clasic for me.

And i forgot to mention how I am sorry for your loss, but with sorrow always comes inspiration and happiness, and its not about loss but its about how that person touched you in the precious time you had with them. Her memory will live on with you.
