boudoir session with victoria gloria!

Hi ladies and gents! Apologies for the late post today, I of course came down with some achy fever-y type of illness the second I got home, so I've been sleeping it off. But, I had to pop in today to tell you of an exciting opportunity this January! boudoir-shoot

My good friend Victoria Gloria is hosting a very limited number of boudoir sessions and I am styling them all! I am so excited for this shoot, you have no idea. I've worked on boudoir sessions before, and they're so fun to style because there's so much to experiment with. For this shoot, Victoria and I have talked a lot about vintage silk and lace, faux fur, and fun stockings. I've started sourcing pieces already, ladies, and things are looking good.

If you're getting married, or just want to do something sweet and sexy for your love, this is the shoot for you. Victoria is so wonderful to shoot with, and her images are pure and so strong. Her work is so exceptional, please check her out by clicking the link above. If you have any questions about the shoot (look at all you get for what you pay!) drop me a line here or send me an email.

Can't wait to see you January 17th!

xoxo,

and all that plaid

Two Saturdays ago, during the uber inspirational Monarch Workshop, my friend crush Victoria and I snuck away during a break and had a super mini photoshoot. You know when you just vibe with someone? The instant I heard the click of her shutter, I was all "Mmm hmm! This feels right." Mini though it was, we had a blast. Check it out...

You know that phrase, "the clothes make the man"? Well, I think the accessories make the outfit. And I know I say this all the time, but I'm just wearing black jeans and a black tee! Could be boring, but it's not, thanks to my ridiculous sequined plaid jacket.

What's your favorite accessory that makes every outfit better?

xoxo,

Happy FRIDAY! I'm excited to share a little preview of my shoot with Victoria Gloria and The Local Vault, above (more to come later!). I had such a blast on this shoot, it really was a pinch me moment. What are you guys up to this weekend? I have a fun shoot planned for tomorrow, and am watching my nephews in CT on Sunday. Raven and I leave for Costa Rica in ONE WEEK! Have a great one guys, and as always, here are some fun links:

Primetime premiere dates. This is necessary.

How to walk in heels. I'm going to try number 1.

Voting on workplace thermostat. For my friend, Lexie.

What type of birth control do you use? (psst - we only use condoms!)

What a sexy dress! With a blazer over it, it's work appropriate as well.

Free workouts with Amazon Prime! Ballet Beautiful is my favorite.

This is such a cool way to keep track of time.

I'm dyeing my hair really light red next week, what do you guys think of this?

xoxo!
