Kimberlyn Parris shoot.


I had the honor to collaborate with
5 brilliant woman on August 23rd.
I contributed Tasha West/classic LWest jewelry pieces
for a test shoot with Wilhelmina model, Kimberlyn Parris.
You may have seen Kimberlyn in the pages of fashion magazines,
Target commercials and ad campaigns for Gap just to name a few.
Below is a shot of Kimberlyn I took to document the day without using a flash.
So stay tuned for the final vibrant images from Tracy Toler's role.

Custom order...Ewah's wedding pendant.


Below is a new custom piece I completed
on Aug 21st for my new client Ewah's wedding.
She lost her mother at the age of 7.
Ewah wanted to wear something with her
mother's picture on it. I suggested we do a silver
pendant bezel with crystal glass set over
the picture of her late mother, Claudine Rosette.
(How super sweet is that name though, right!)
Ewah and I were both elated by the final results!

The weekend off to reconnect.


Aug 21-23 was my 15 year high school reunion extravaganza.
It was a pleasure to have the weekend off to party with old
friends and eat unlimited amounts of my favorite fruit!

It couldn't have been a more perfect day in Long Island.
I'm wearing my TWest Mobile Wood Earrings w/Mother of Pearl.

I couldn't get enough of the refreshing watermelon.

The ceiling pendants at Taj inspired me to
do several sketches on napkins of new jewelry ideas.
Of course doing so while taking a break from dancing until 4am.

Monique Maylor, my best friend of 20 years
planned a fun packed reunion weekend.
I'm wearing my coral and turquoise TWest Stem Earrings.
Monique wears classic LWest Gold Mesh Earrings
and the TWest Vision Charm Necklace.
Available at www.tashawest.com while supplies last!








Doris NY/MTM Launch Party appearance!


I attended the launch event for Doris New York/MTM
(The hair care line I modeled for this summer 09)
The August 6th event was a blast!
Not to mention a few of the pictures I posed
for were projected on the big screens at Taj.
Congrats DNY/MTM for a successful night!

LTW with Marlene Duperly, SVP Doris NY/CEO MTM.
I wore my classic LWest sleek leather slant earrings
just for the special occasion.

The mother and daughter team of Doris NY...
Doris and Marlene Duperly celebrate their
successful business ventures.

LTW and AG stop to strike a pose during the Dj's wicked set.

Wilhelmina Model and Muse Kimberlyn Parris.
She accompanied me to the event wearing
Classic LWest silver chain earrings.





Ode to the LWest Classics and beyond...Part II


It's always a pleasure to have loyal clients.
I speak of one in particular and her name is Raquel Cepeda.
She is not only a brilliant author, film maker, journalist, blogger,
mother and style maven...she is one of my biggest supporters
and a dear friend. I had the pleasure of running in to her
at the Big Daddy Kane concert in Prospect Park on August 8th.
She had just arrived back from a business/vacation in one
of her favorite places in the world...Paris, France.
Of course she was wearing the classic LWest custom
silver feather that she's been rocking for over 7 years...
along with her new addition TWest Astro Gemini Pendant.
She barely takes them off!!! Thank you Raq!
(Astro pendants and finger rings Coming Soon)
