Lunch with Anna

Last week I went over to Anna's house to hang out, talk all things creative, and to have lunch (she cooked of course). We also had a small photo shoot of her. She's so adorable! I love the simplicity of the portraits of her- especially because they are in her beautiful home. I seriously love talking with her because of how driven she is with her business and blog. We have tons of plans for the future of her blog The Colorful Living Project and for workshops that we want to have here in Charlotte. I'm so thankful that I got up the courage to email her to say how much I loved her work and wanted to collaborate with her. Just one email can start a friendship and collaboration. Charlotte would be so different if I wasn't friends with her! 

Make sure to check out Anna's blog here, website here, follow her in Instagram here (to see the cutest photos of her daughter Isabelle and awesome photos of food), and like her page on Facebook here. 

Behind the Scenes: GEOFLORA feat. TOPSHOP Charlotte

This is definitely the best crew I have EVER worked with. We seriously had so much fun with this photo shoot. The photos are all for Ellen and Margaret (they are twins) of GEOFLORA Jewelry. We all went to the same art school and this was our first photo shoot together. We were kind of just experimenting and being creative with everything. We considered this photo shoot a warm up to our look book that we will be doing later this year. I have to say their jewelry looks gorgeous in all the photos- I'm so obsessed with everything gold! They are so talented and there is not a doubt in my mind that they are going to very successful. 

I cannot wait to edit and share the rest of the photos from this shoot! Thank you so much to everyone who helped out! Especially TOPSHOP Charlotte for all of the clothes, my mom and Katie for coming along, and Brooke for doing amazing hair and makeup. And of course my little sister Isabelle for being perfectly flawless.

The Coveteur / Jaime King

On Monday's I always search for inspiration to get me going through the week and this is what I was inspired by today. I love Jaime King so it was awesome to see inside her home and especially inside her closet. Her look is so classic and I'm always obsessed with her hair and makeup. She has such great taste- I want everything she owns. Another thing I love about her is how humble and real she is. These are just a few images from The Coveteur. To see more click here!
