Casual to Dressy

“High Beams”

Last weeks photo shoot was on one of those gorgeous days that you just wanted to bottle up and keep forever!!

I had a catalog from one of my vendors that did a shoot in an old garage with a vintage car and such but……Brooke (my wonderful photographer) and I are still working on this one…..I thought we could still do a more contemporary version of it outside the store in our parking lot.  We used my car because the colors are of course Black and White (I have REALLY been trying to use color, I swear!)

Well, I will tell you, I was blown away when I saw how beautiful Emily looked in the above photo, after Brooke sent it to me!!  It was WAY better than the catalog shoot that I saw and I hope that you all like these pics as much as I do!!

She is wearing black chandelier earrings by Chan Luu and a double hook bracelet by Ambre Babzoe.

The beautiful model is Emily Sroda who will graduate from Penn High School this weekend!  She is wearing a black and ivory striped top by Lauren Vidal and snakeskin print pants by Simon Chang.

I chose to belt this top with a soft taupe leather belt by Hoss Intropia to give a little contrast from the black and white plus it cinched the waist so that it wasn’t so baggy looking.

Giving the top a little more elegance, this long chiffon skirt by Lauren Vidal was perfect.

Moi and Toi?

Each year I look around my store and contemplate what I have done the past year and get a feeling of what I want to accomplish the next year.  This year, I want to get back to my roots of where I started in the business and what I enjoyed so much about it instead of trying to get the best selling brands in the industry. Don’t get me wrong, many of the brands that I have I love and I will keep, but I want special pieces that you will cherish for years in your closets.

One of my favorite brands that I carry is Chan Luu.  Her exquisite jewelry and clothing are handmade and the styles are modern, simple and classic.  Here our beautiful Model Jill Cosey from Salon Rouge is wearing the crystal pearl hoop earrings and braided pearl bracelet by Chan Luu.

We used to carry lots and lots of great whimsical accessories like this Lips Clutch that is just way too fun!  Lips are so on trend right now!  We have a lot of get “Lips” items coming in soon, just in time for Valentine’s Day!

I love fun novelty tops and sweaters and I am always on the hunt for them.  This Moi… Toi (Me…. YOU in French) sweater from Italian sweater line Kontatto is the PERFECT way to ask your special someone to be your Valentine.

Fun regular or infinity scarves that are striped or printed in herringbone designs like the ones Jill is wearing in these pictures are just some of the great priced ones starting at just $12.

LOVE is in the air at Inspire Me!

I hope that we inspired you!
