I made a look for Shakira! A huge thank you to Nicolas Bru for trusting me with your vision, but also being incredible to work with! Also to Katie Mamie for coming in last minute and making a duplicate of this skirt for me while I was out of town my little leather vest didn't make the cut, BUT how gorgeous was the finished ensemble?!? Truly so proud and thankful to be a part of this beautiful world tour! #shakira #sewing #costume #fashion @Shakira

With the #metgala upon us I couldn't help but reflect on one of my favorite menswear looks I've made that was inspired by the met gala theme from last year, " Gardens of Time." | made this suit for one of the coolest people I know, @stevewilson21c ... ( talk about a cool client 😍 !) This project was incredibly fun to bring to life, and I can't wait to reveal what l've got cooking for this year's Met Gala #DIY #sewing #fashion #metball #art #metgala2025

l asked my partner to marry me! When I was dreaming up the perfect place to propose, I kept coming back to the idea of somewhere breathtaking— somewhere that felt like a fairytale. I'd always heard about the beauty of New Zealand, and while researching, I stumbled across Queenstown... a slice of magic that felt like it was made for us. The scenery was surreal, the town full of charm and adventure, and at the base of the aptly named Remarkables, I asked @Christopher Minafo to marry me. This truly was the trip of a lifetime. We packed in more memories than I could ever fit into one video, but I hope these highlights give you a little glimpse into the magic we experienced. Endless thanks to @charlottekiriphoto for capturing this moment so beautifully-we'll cherish it forever. #wedding #proposal #lgbt #newzealand #queenstown

Planning a Princess Diaries themed birthday for my Partner, @Christopher Minafo to celebrate his 30th birthday! I am honestly so thankful this party went off without a hitch. This was months of planning while I was also simultaneously planning a 20 day trip to Australia and New Zealand to propose to him, and also planned a surprise party for all of our Los Angeles friends on our layover to Australia, lol to say the least, I'm feeling thankful, and tired! I can't wait to take a little bit of time to breathe, and just relish in all of this excitement! I love you, Chris, I'm so happy that you're my partner, and that I get to celebrate your 30th year, revolving around the sun! #DIY #surprise #sewing #birthday #princessdiaries

#ad I recreated Zendaya’s Met Gala Gown with @Cricut #ad ! This was a labor of love between @Christopher Minafo and I, and after 2 long days of work, I think our version is just stunning! How do you think we did with this recreation? Also huge thank you to my personal #zendaya @Lultyrahbadass #Cricut #Cricutmade #metgala #fashion #zendaya #dresses #DIY #sewing #met

I Recreated Blake Lively’s Met Gala Gown ( in about 24 hours😅) with one of my besties @Shay ! It’s met gala season so I wanted to revisit one of my favroites! Shay also lovingly modeled for me! We challenged each other to a Blake Lively-off last year to see who could create the best Blake Lively recreation in 24 hours! ( hers was STUNNING btw,) and you should check it out on her page❤️ I think in the end, we both won😉 . #metgala #metball #met #blakelively #sewing #DIY #fashion #costume #dresses

Making a look for @shakira and her world tour! It’s been so cool to see all of the photos and the insane size of the crowds! It’s a wild feeling knowing your art is traveling the world for millions to see. I am THANKFUL! My vest didn’t make the cut, but how gorgeous is the final look?! #shakira #DIY #fashion #sewing

We decided we're better together. asked Chris to marry me while on our trip to New Zealand, and he said yes we have had a magical three years together, and have grown and learned so much with and about each other. I've never met someone who challenged me to be more creative, push my own boundaries, and think bigger. I'm so thankful to have found someone who makes me better! I love you @Christopher Minafo ! More than words can express I can't wait to build a life with you. I also need to thank @charlottekiriphoto for the INCREDIBLE photos and experience! You captured this moment like a moment from cinema and I am so thankful our paths have crossed!
