Its funny how things happen. One day, you're enjoying a beer with a friend and the next thing you know, you're doing the makeup for a designer's lookbook photo shoot. That's one of my favorite things about New York - you never know what (or how) things will happen.

Yesterday we headed into Queens to visit the Fort Tilden area to capture George McCracken's Spring/Summer 2011 lookbook. Since these looks will be making their debut on the runway during NYFW next week, I can't share many of the behind-the-scenes shots. The colors and fabrics of the collection are, as to be expected, rich and vivid.

The shoot was definitely an adventure (we all have the tan lines to prove it) - can't wait to share the images once photographer Jahn Hall has finished working his magic.

Did you make it to the beach this weekend? Did you have an adventure? I'd love to hear about it!
