STYLDBY BTS: EMILY of ONCE WED

Pin It Now!

...with the arrival of the latest issue of Rue

and the next round of bloggers

I wanted to keep our southern charmers abreast...

As the newbie blogger on the set, I was trying to 

pay attention to every single morsel

of magic that was occuring.

one huge morsel that came in a cute petite package was

Emily Newman of

Once Wed.

With her newborn in tow Emily step up to bat and served up 

some all-star smizing.

I was captivated. 

If you happen to be in wedding mode (like me) 

or are in a need of a heavy dose of some lovely 

hop on over to Once Wed 

and some of the other gals for Styldby for Gap.

Happy Friday Loves!!!

STYLDBY BTS: Elise Yetton of Pennyweight

Pin It Now!

So last month, Rue Magazine launched their May/June issue 

featuring the latest round of bloggers to be apart of the 

Gap Styld.by campaign. 

I hope you are not tired of hearing me gab about this, but

I am super excited to share with you some of the behind the scenes shots I snapped.

Typically I leave my camera behind during intimate and memorable moments, but this was day that I wanted to remember down to the dirt.

So throughout the next few days and weeks I will feature some ops of the girls, food, props and such.

First up is Elise Yetton of 

Pennyweight.

She's the chick that walks in and you give your guy a go-ahead to look at. 

Lovely to say the least with that dash of sincere southern charm that it is not 

a bit forced like that which floods the airwaves.

STYLD.BY/GAP + RUE

Pin It Now!

A little while ago the lovely gals of Rue Magazine contacted me to be apart of the Styld.by campaign for Gap, their new online catalog featuring real bloggers incorporating Gap pieces into their wardrobe. 

But the magic grew bigger.

I was told that we would be photographed by the ridiculously amazing team from

Our Labor of Love

creators of the Smilebooth and streams of tear-jerker wedding photos.

AND

  my dear friend Ginny Branch Stelling and Amy Osaba & team would be styling the

shoot!

 

I leapt at the chance to wear these rosy colored legging jeans and

brightly printed wedges.  

These fell perfectly in line with my vow to infuse vivid colors into my wardrobe. 

Pairing them with a billowy blouse

and bold jewelry makes the perfect statement for Summer.

Who would have thought that my 2012 resolution to dig myself out of the "greige" pit would lead me to fall into the Gap! Literally!

BALANCING ACT

Pin It Now!

discovered here

Learning the art of balance takes time...

Learning just how long to stay up,

how long to stay out

how many yes'

how many no's ...

Just what is right? 

As a indie-designer, "in the cube" designer,  wife, mother, daughter, sister

the mere "having" of a role can be quite cumbersome.

Especially when you realize that it is 3 am and you are awake building your future

and there still seems to not be enough hours in the day to tackle it all. 

But finding a rhythm.... a pace that allows you to reflect and breath and reboot, is golden when it does happen.

Because my life is a go-go-go life I force myself to block periods on my calendar to process my lengthy to do lists & consolidate my post-its  Yes, that means sometimes I have to physically schedule a planning period, or breaks to the ladies room just to ensure it happens. 

If not I'd burst...literally. 

In other news! 

The latest issue of Rue Magazine has hit screens!! 

In this issue I am featured, along with 3 other bloggers for the 

Gap Styld By campaign. So throughout the week I will feature a few behind the scenes snaps taken.  It was such a fantastic experience hanging out with such a shining group of ladies, each strong bloggers, writers, photographers, stylists that made the magic happen.

If you haven't checked it out just yet, take a little prance over here.

Strap on your swoon cap, grab a little snack, because you might be there for a while.

Enjoy!!!
