Hello everyone!
How are you all doing this week? Was your Memorial Day weekend good? Get a tan? Eat some BBQ? Get intoxicated and go swimming? (Smartest combo ever) haha I didn’t do any of those things >.< . I actually stayed in all weekend and worked very diligently on cosplay stuff for AX 2013! I am actually almost done! But yesterday, that all changed, lol. My friend Allison H. and are going to instead be doing a cosplay from “Chobits” ( Allison being Chii/Elda and I being Freya) . IM SO EXCITED GUYS! But I only have 35 days to do both cosplays and finish up mine! ヽ(；▽；)ノ haha I can do it! So many photos to ensue for sure!
Anyways, on to my actual blog post! If you have been reading m blog from the past few months, Creature of Habit is nothing foreign to you. If not, I’ll tell you a little about it! Each piece is hand made from the beautiful and talented, Vanessa Walton. She has a great passion for everything pretty, ethereal and fantasy. I think it shows pretty well in her designs! I was asked to model for her spring lookbook a few months ago, and I couldn’t be more excited! This was right up my alley! I also got to meet/ hang out with/ model with Chloe Dykstra! (I’ve been E-Stalking her for the past 2 years haha) she was every bit of nerdy, beautiful and fun as I expected! And she was very kind yet confident too! Modeling with her in these photos were a lot of laughs! (As you can see in some photos) it was a really nice set! Not to mention it was Chloe’s idea to do a “lolita” theme and I freaking love lolita ! \(//∇//)\. If you haven’t checked out Vanessa’s shop, you should do so Now! and check out my other posts on Creature of habit as well!
(Feels good to finally post all the photos I wanted to for this lookbook! Summer creature of habit lookbook coming up soon! )
Also! I got great news yesterday that I was featured on Teen Vogue for beauty Yesterday!
Check out the full post here! (as well as the YouTube tutorial which is linked in the article on how to achieve the kitty ear hairstyle!)
Hope you all have been well! Shooting some cute stuff today with Sylvia! Keep your eyes peeled for some updates!

Hello everyone!!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I wanted to share with you all something I did about a month ago. I recently modeled for 8,000 nerves for LA Fashion week, and they showed at LAFC , so I was able to finally meet the multi talented, Kelsi Smith. She’s hilarious, charming, and of course has a great sense of style. She owns/directs 3 of her own companies (LA Fashion Council, Fash Mobs, Two Point Oh LA, and Style Smith ) as well as running her own fashion blog (Dedicated Follower of Fashion ). It was really awesome to meet her! I ended up going to her birthday party soon after and she asked me if I wanted to be a part of the asos marketplace shoot the following week. It went by so smoothly and all the other bloggers involved were so talented and sweet! I really enjoyed hanging out with everyone and seeing what amazing new designers are coming out with in Los Angeles! You should really take a look at more of the designers on the Asos Marketplace! I hope you all enjoy my post! Sorry the photos is low quality, I pulled it from the website >.>

Hello everyone! So who went to coachella? (Not I >.<)hope everyone that went had a lot of fun! I had suuuuch a busy week/weekend last week, about 5 shoots in a row! (Modeling and styling) and I stayed up wayyyyy past my bed time to get stuff ready! (Which I'm not very use to haha) it's good though! I've been very productive and I'm proud of that! On Saturday I got do a really fun shoot with my friend John! I met him at anime expo last year (2012) while in my Kyary "Pon Pon Pon" cosplay. He took a quick video of me and hung with me and my two friends and we had a lot in common! We kept in touch after and now finally we worked together! I'm so excited to show the video we made! It's so kawaii!!! (I hope :p )
Anyways!!! About this outfit! This was another outfit I styled on myself for the Creature of Habit lookbook I modeled in! I was really glad to use this dress since I recently just altered it specifically to feature on my blog! It fit so well with the headband and the cherry blossoms! *･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･’(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)’･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*
I love how simplistic this headband is, I’m kind of wearing it wrong in some photos though…（;￣O￣）but I think it suits my style pretty well! I don’t like overbearing things, I like how delicate and sweet it is! You can wear it with a lot of different outfits that way, and it’s still an accessory that stands out from most! Plus it’s pink, god dammit I love pink… (＞人＜;)
Well I hope you all like my photos and everything and that you all are having a great week!!!

Hello everyone! How was your Easter?? I really should of taken more pictures of mine, in the evening I went to my friend Alanna’s birthday dinner/potluck which was a Mad Men style dress code. I spent like 3 hours on makeup and hair hahaha, it’s almost like cosplaying if you want to do it accurately as possible! I even did pin curls in my hair and brushed them out and everything! I really should of taken more pictures （−＿−；）. Anyways on to this outfit post!
If you saw my blog post prior to this onethen you already know what this is all about! I modeled for my new friend Vanessa Walton’s brand “Creature of Habit” (isent it a perfect name ? ). She hand makes each crown with a lot of love, creativity and imagination. I really like her placement of flowers, it really makes her crowns stand out. I’ve always had a strange affinity for blue roses though, I think they are very mystical looking, almost out of place. But at the same time they are just a rare breed of their kind. So this was the crown I chose to model (we got to choose which I think was a really good idea and made the shoot a lot more relaxed!) so I paired it with a favorite outfit of mine! I really think it goes well! What do you guys think? Hope you are all having a great day!!!

Styled by: Zoe Flood (me :p ) & Kota Kitty Wade
Models: Vanessa Walton, Chloe Dykstra, Kota Kitty Wade, Chloe Doan, Isabelle Lynn, Sarah Quillian, Whitney Moore, and myself, Zoe Flood ☆〜（ゝ。∂）
Hello everyone! I hope your week is going by well! I’ve been fairly busy with a few projects this week… Needless to say I’m very motivated and inspired!
Anyways, on to this beautiful shoot! I know I pic spammed you with this huge post, but I hope you enjoy all the lovely photos! I got the honor to model for my new friend Vanessa’s company “Creature of Habit“. Where she hand makes all these floral crowns! Some of them even light up! Vanessa also makes cosplay outfits (and very well might I add) so her fantasy/Japanese type influence is defiantly seen in her crowns and designs. Even just the placement on some of the headbands remind me of a creatures ears. I think it’s so adorable! The colors and flower types she uses really mesh together in a very cohesive collection for S/S 2013. I was very excited to see and model her new peices! I wanted to post this first with everyone in it, and later do more detailed outfit posts of my own sets. But for now you can see all the other wonderful ladies involved in this shoot! I made lots of new friends that day it was really nice! I can’t wait to meet up with them again! And just everyone looked so amazing! The location and just everything! So good! Which crown is your favorite?
If you haven’t already, please check out more of Creature of Habit here.
Hope you have a good one!

Hello everyone! How was your weekend? Mine was very exciting, I got to go to “A Current Affair” show and get some lovely vintage pieces, and yesterday, I got to shoot with Claudia Susanna finally! And Style Lorena Maraschi again with Scott up in Vasquez rocks! So two shoots going on simultaneously in the desert (⌒-⌒; ) . It was important though because it was the last time I would see Lorena and her mother Lucy before she went back to brazil… （；＿；） (and then she’s going to Tokyo! And then coming to either NY or LA for awhile at the end of the year! ^o^ ) I got to have a great day with them yesterday and we went to dinner at a very good Brazilian restaurant in Beverly Hills! It was so so good! It was sad to say our good byes after but they needed to catch their flight. Anyways! On to my outfit!
So I modeled for Deandri about a month ago, and I got these wonderful shoes that day! Deanna Richmond (the designer) is not only an amazingly innovative designer (with both shoes and clothing! She just produced her first Deandri line for F/W 2013/2014 this season!) she’s a really awesome person! Every time I hang out with her and learn something new, I respect her more and more (not to mention the obvious girl crush, I mean she’s just so pretty/cute/adorablzz qhahahqgsg!) with the fan girling aside, I take so much pride in wearing these shoes. I literally need to carry deandri’s business cards because I’m asked every time where these shoes are from (＞人＜ 
. So this outfit is sort of an “ode to Deanna” since it’s pretty similar to her personal style… Haha. I hope you guys like it! I’m really happy with these photos （＾∇＾）!
