Fashion for a Mad Woman.

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

My mom constantly tells me that I was born in the wrong decade, between the music I listen to, the clothes I wear, the movies I watch, you get the picture.  After seeing these fashions featured in Real Simple magazine last month, I tend to agree.  To say that I fell in love would be an understatement.  I was reading the magazine at the gym, on the treadmill, and well, almost fell off.  After complaining about all the muted beige and pink that was so popular this fall, the intense colors shown here were an injection of life.  The hair, the makeup, that retro classiness, I want to dress like this every day of my life.  Do you think people would stare?

Photos for Photogs.

Friday, June 18th, 2010

My good friend, and fabulous photographer,  Suzanne Larocque, approached me with an idea for a special project last week.  She explained that she had many vintage cameras, and would love to set up some still lifes with them and some flowers, do a little work in Photoshop, and get some gorgeous antique-ish images.

So, with Suzanne behind the camera, me as the stylist, and both of us begging photoshop to work what we were trying to do, we came up with a set of four images, that in our own humble opinion, will knock your socks off.  There was one point in the photo editing session, where we simultanously jumped up and said “Oh, wow!”  It is so awesome to do work that you’re passionate about, and when you get to do that work with friends, even better.

Suzanne and I plan on offering these images as note cards and art prints in the near future, and hope to collaborate on a similar project in the near future.  The vintage cameras have an appeal for photographers, but how about us graphic designers?  Think type.
