I was honored when Jess asked me to style the photo shoots for her new look books and flabbergasted when she asked me to model. (You may recall I'm not the most comfortable in front of the camera.) But it helped having my main lady Danielle Moss behind the lens again since she knocked the Glitter Guide shoot out of the park. And when Jess suggested bringing in my friend Liz Schneider of Sequins and Stripes as a second model (whose wardrobe made my job much easier), the whole thing came together perfectly. Nine hours of four Chicago girls running around the city in sequins and sweaters on a sunny Saturday. I can't think of a better way to have spent the day. Tucker and Fiona even made it into a couple shots! I should really get them to some modeling auditions...
Congratulations, Jess, on two new gorgeous collections! That gold iPad case lined with pink is going to be on every woman's wishlist! Now I feel like I have to get an iPad just so I can use one of the beautiful cases.
On another note, my sincerest apologies for disappearing last week. I haven't been that sick in... I don't even know how long. It took four days of tea, soup, and sleep, but I think I've finally recovered. Thanks for hanging in there and being patient with me!

Just saw the collection this morning, LOVE it, the lookbooks are GORGEOUS!!
ReplyDeleteAlaina! The styling is fantastic!! Lovely! I love the shots of you two sitting under the Quincy sign, on the bridge with the polka dot shirts, and the individual iPad shots. And you look so natural as a model! Glad to hear that you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteYikes--these scarves are amazing! So are the iPad cases, but since I don't have an iPad I can only dream :) Maybe that's a reason to invest in one? Congrats to your friend!
ReplyDeleteSo many things... 1) You and Liz are the cutest 2) Danielle did an amazing job {as usual} 3) Love the iPad cases and the Quincy stop photos {do you watch Shameless? If so, that's the stop Steve and Fiona made out!} and 5) So glad you're feeling better! Being sick is the pits. Woooo...told you there were a lot of things! :)

ReplyDeleteI'm going to need an Ipad asap.
ReplyDeleteThese photos tug at my heart strings. I miss Chicago so much! I lived there for a short but wonderful while and seeing a group of fun ladies prancing around the beautiful Chicago streets sure does make me nostalgic and envious. Hopefully I'll return one day :). Great job with both modeling AND styling!
Love the new collection, and all of the photos. Well done, ladies.
ReplyDeleteAnd it turned out beautifully! Love all of the pics, and you're a natural!!!
