Spring: A Day at the Park

Are You Red-y for Spring?

Hello all!  I hope everyone had a joyous weekend.  I was able to catch up on a few things, one being sleep, and the other catching up with friends.  We did a photo shoot and caught up on each others lives while eating good food at a local bakery.  I am so ready for spring!  On Saturday it was fifty degrees and felt wonderful.  This next week?  Snow.  What did you do this weekend?

Winter Photo Shoot

I have been dying to do a photo shoot for my shop with real people at a fun setting.  Since it is freezing in Utah and it gets dark fast I bought a dress form to photograph items in my shop 'til spring.  I personally like photographing my items on real people because people bring it to life.  Models add personality and give more inspiration to how to wear the article of clothing.  I feel the photos are more enjoyable to look at as well.  

So, my model Jessi braved the cold yesterday and we took pictures at a quaint old building in downtown Salt Lake City.  Soon after a snow storm rolled in.  It was warm(er), then windy, and then stormy.  Luckily we hit the "warmer" part for the shoot.  So, what do you prefer?  Do you prefer clean white backgrounds with a dress form to show off vintage clothing?  Or a real model showing the dress with a lively background?

(not all items shown are in the store just yet, but you can find the scarf and green pencil skirt here)

Winter White Out

Hello dearies.  I hope you all had a lovely weekend.  What do you have planned for the upcoming week?  My husband and I have a goal of being more active. It's so hard for me to be motivated when it is so cold and dark outside; I just want to snuggle up in a blanket and watch The Big Bang Theory.  Anyways, to be more active, we bought climbing gym passes.  We have plans to rock that rock wall.  (Yes that was a horrible pun wasn't it?  Moving on.)  Although the cold and dark days are displeasing to me, I do love the pure white snow that graces the earth beneath me.  To celebrate the good winter brings, try wearing winter white this season.  It may light up those dark days. Enjoy your week!
