{RECAP} Vintage Delight Shopping Social

I have so much catching up to do on the blog and figured I would start with the recap of Vintage Delight Shopping Social that I helped host last month!

It was so much fun being able to set up one of my first "booths" for Love Sparkle Pretty and mingle with some inspiring women. A big thank you to the others that also hosted this event, Kristen, from Chariot Marie had lots of gorgeous vintage clothing available, Vivian of Etablir Shop not only opened up her space for the event but also had tons of stunning vintage rentals and pieces available (that pink vanity I used in my booth was hers)! There was also some delicious handmade ice cream available from Miniscoops (seriously good! I bought some Basil and Walnut ice cream as well as Coffee, Cookies & Cream) and beautiful vintage jewelry was showcased by Mel Scouts.

I loved how all of our aesthetics pulled together to create an inspiring space and a fun little getaway for ladies to do a little shopping. Each hour we also randomly chose names for several fun giveaways including a $100 gift card to Etablir Shop, a pair of vintage earrings from Mel Scouts, a floral dream catcher from Love Sparkle Pretty, a $100 towards vintage clothing from Chariot Marie and several other giveaways! We even had a glam photo booth which was definitely well used for photos with friends, props and silly faces.

Here are a mix of photos I snapped as well as several taken by Kristen Booth to capture the day. Thank you to all who stopped by to make this event a success!

Shipwrecked || A Styled Photo Shoot

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed a certain little seashell headpiece I have been working on for a styled photo shoot. That shoot has finally happened and it was AMAZING! Kayla of Kayla V Photography, contacted me a while back with a bit of inspiration. When I heard that the idea behind this next shoot will be Shipwrecked, I was totally on board (no pun intended)!
After a few postponed dates and a couple changes/cancellations, we did what we could to make this happen! Courtney Barnum was the perfect model, Melanie HoneyBlossom worked her magic with her makeup brushes and thanks to Samantha, we found the perfect locations. Not only did everything come together beautifully but it was such a great day to have a little mountain adventure with 5 creative girls.

Here are some behind the scene photos I captured on the iPhone. Follow me on Instagram to get more BTS shots of future shoots.

Lighting these candles scared me. Like really scared me. I kept thinking we were going to catch the woods on fire and counting on 5 girls to put a fire out? Ummm...not the best situation.

Luckily, we were stealthy and my paranoia disappeared after we blew all 7 of these candles out safely. 

It was a beautiful ending as the sun started  to set beneath the trees.

Thank you again to everyone who helped make this shoot a success!
