at the not-so-bitter end of this photoshoot, lori goldstein and i were gabbing about our shared obsession with all styles of sunnies. she decided it would be fun to have me try on just about every pair in the studio ~ and of course i couldn't say no! shoji wanted in on the fun, and thus a second, impromptu shoot had suddenly begun: click, click, change! click, click, CHANGE! lori was thrusting sunnies in my face, shoji was snapping away, and i was just trying to keep up!!

you gotta love people who, even after years in the fashion industry, are still able to be spontaneous and joyful about it all. which reminds me, did everyone catch lori's closet tour on stylelikeu? it's so, so good (don't forget, you saw it here first!).

i think the pictures say it all, that getting to be a part of this shoot made for a totally dreamy day. lori goldstein (who's always ever-so fashion-flippant!) and shoji van kuzumi (the most brilliantly exacting photographer i've ever worked with. total awe.) created this amazing story for stylecaster.com.
