STYLING: [rachel & mark | krista mason photography]

A good friend of mine, Krista Mason of Krista Mason Photography, asked me to style some of her clients for their mini "love/holiday" shoot in late November of last year (2010). I've know Krista for many years now and we've worked together on a lot of projects but this was the first official time we got to work together as Photographer and Fashion Stylist, so I was super excited to join the shoot.

The morning of the photo shoot, it was cold, windy and slightly overcast. Luckily when it was time to shoot the sun came to join us.

It was a pleasure meeting and styling Rachel + Mark. As well as, working with Event Planner/Set Designer Gianna San Filippo of Chic Celebration and of course Krista Mason of Krista Mason Photography. If you'd like to see more images from the shoot, check out the blog post from Krista Mason Photography.

Until next time..

STYLE: [polyvore | black swan | style set]

it's been a while since i've designed a Polyvore set, so here it is...

for my first style set back, i wanted to do one that was inspired by the movie Black Swan.

since it's not normal wear a crystal tiara everyday i decided that the necklace would represent the tiara and feathers. the strapless lace dress is my everyday interpretation of the actual black swan ballerina costume and i wanted to show the dark edginess of the character by adding black booties with metal heels to give that feel.

i hope to be designing/styling more Polyvore sets on a regular basis, so check back soon.
