Sadly, it doesn’t look like the candy themed shoot I styled back in the summer will be picked up by any magazines anytime soon. It happens sometimes with test shoots; you learn and you move on from it. Although I think a few great shots came out of this one, I can pin [...]
Oh what a day! I just wrapped up an 8 hour shoot in Santa Barbara for the cover and editorial off the bridal mag — I’ve been up since 2am and still going on only a couple hours of sleep…how I don’t know! This was the biggest shoot I’ve [...]
My updates have been slow around here for the past month, but work has not been! For the past couple of weeks I’ve been either shooting, preparing for shoots, or working on the Bridal magazine, which launches in a few months.
The first was a bridal hair inspiration shoot with photographer Bryan Toh, [...]
Very excited to see the editorial I styled earlier this month up on Austrian digital fashion mag C-Heads This particular shoot was quite an adventure because it was my first time pulling looks from PR houses, and also my first time driving around LA! (Shocking, I know!) I ended [...]
Well, these last few days have been a total whirlwind! I went down to LA on Sunday for the spring market and LA Fashion Week. In the four years that I’ve been doing this, not once have I ever had a problem getting a hotel in Los Angeles during market, but it seems someone had [...]
Another test shoot this week, this time with photographer Bryan Toh. This was my second time working with Bryan, and on top of being a great photographer he has a serious knack when it comes to set design and prop styling. The last shoot I did with him was [...]
With the fall season right around the corner, photographer Vanessa Cabrillas and I have started to map out our ideas for upcoming editorials. We have about half a dozen storyboards right now, and this is one of my favorites called “No Face”. It’s much more artsy and modern than anything [...]
Well, here it is folks. This is something I’ve been waiting, hoping and working for since last summer when I first started — my first tears in a fashion magazine. Our Love Story editorial (check it out here) is featured in the September fashion themed issue of Bunker Hill, a downtown LA based [...]
Okay, this editorial was totally not called Candyland; I don’t want to give too much away since we’re trying to get this spread picked up by a fashion magazine. For now I can only give you a little taste (no pun intended) of the candy themed shoot I styled a few weeks ago. We had [...]
Well I’m still exhausted.
Last Thursday afternoon I returned home from my (second) trip Las Vegas this year….and my first trip to MAGIC! Keep in mind, this was something I was waiting for since I first started planning my boutique back in 2007, and because of poor timing I was always unable to [...]

My name is Kim, I'm the owner of OohLaLuxe.com boutique and an fashion jack of all trades, so to speak. I started this blog as a guide for aspiring buyers on how to start a fashion boutique, and from there, it merged into a hybrid of a personal blog, guidebook, and a place for me to share my recent work.
