I'm thrilled to share the PUBLISHED results from a recent shoot I had the privilege of styling!!
This shoot was too much fun from start to finish!! I loved the idea of taking "New Years Eve during the 1970s" and juxtaposing the fashions from that decade with "New Years Eve 2012/13". "New Year, New YOU" was the concept and VBM {my new favorite store} was my playground!! Vintage By Misty (or VBM) is truly a hidden treasure (fiercely guarded by one-way streets in downtown Phoenix) and absolutely worth the hide&seek! It is positively dripping in vintage of the chicest degree and I couldn't covet every piece in Mistys store any harder! Can I add that I love/adore Misty!!? Misty Guerriero is one of my new favorite people and the owner of this vintage paradise!! {Go see her, she's fabulous!} My fitting with the models was so much fun, I can't even tell you. Combing through all of the vintage pieces (pulled from so many different decades and eras), narrowing down the perfect ensembles and selecting the jaw-dropping vintage jewelry... I was literally a kid in a candy store! I can't wait to return and play dress up again, only this time, for me! :)
Words for the wise: do not shy away from vintage! Do not be afraid to be bold or to stand out! The fashions of the past are not lost, you can find extraordinary {one-of-a-kind} pieces from your favorite decade(s) and wear them with pride and confidence tomorrow! Hunt for those fabulous pieces, mix them into your wardrobe, turn heads and wait for the compliments to roll in...
