Ahhh, the new controversial Art of the Self-Portrait, thanks to Instagram, is Ridiculous!! Ridiculous as in- I LOVE! Self-Portraits are bold, beautiful and documentary. Celebs, Models, Bloggers, Fashionistas and Photography Lovers everywhere have embraced the new Art. Are you sharing your feelings, your look, location, a hairstyle or just taking a Self-Portrait because you have one of those moment in time shots?? Whatever the reason- Rock the pic and Own it!! Always know you will have the close minded people who think you are full of yourself, showing off, not photogenic, and so on… There is criticism in everything, so get over it! Just tonight I heard Fashion Police lightly knocking the concept- didn’t give it a second thought though!

Me at the New for the Night Showroom… One of my very first Self-Portraits

Although my iPhone Self-Portrait taking skills are not perfected yet- I plan to continue to document my progress through my pictures with no shame! I think it is important I share not only my world, but myself with fans, readers and friends. I want to inspire you to create new looks, credit fabulous designers, and give props to my favorite shopping destinations through photographs!
