So I got the pictures back from Saturday's photos shoot that I styled and I'm so happy with the outcome. So far, there has been over 40 pics but I always only choose one from each look and these 4 are my favs :-)

This photo was taken by photographer Susan N. who was at the shoot

This photo was taken by Michelle Neacy who was at the shoot also :-)

I had a photoshoot yesterday with Frank Bradford and had a great time. I was the wardrobe stylist of the day and got to dress the 2 models, Priyanka Gandhi and Nina Jade Napoletano (who are both fabulous btw). The shoot took place in Morgan Park in Glen Cove which is only about 5 minutes from my store. This location was so perfect, not only because it was beautiful scene-wise but because it was so close to my store that it enabled me to have the models try on a bunch of stuff before going to the location. I met up with the crew around 1pm and we got started around 5 and ended about 8pm. I was a little disappointed though because I had picked 4 looks for each model but we were only able to do 2 looks each :-/. This was because we got started late and was losing light but because the model were so great and the crew was amazing (including the makeup artist Flor Diaz) I wanted to milk it a little more lol. Oh well...there is always next time! I can't wait to see the final results..I stole a peek every now and then at Frank's camera and I loved everything I saw. As soon as I get the final images, I will post them here :-) Here are just a few behind the scenes shots.

So my boutique opened about a month and a half ago (June 1st) and I absolutely love it! Its been alot of work and very stressful at times but it has been so worth it. I absolutely love everything about it...the location (Glen Cove is Awesome!), my customers, my employees Renee and Kat, and especially the merchandise!!!! I've always wanted a boutique, but I never thought that I would have one so young and I never thought that I would have a consignment store. After researching for several months and being offered an opportunity that I just could not pass up, I decided just to do it and I am so glad I did. Here are a few pics of my store :-)

Oh, I forgot ton mention...the really cool thing about my store is that we get tons (I mean tons) of new items EVERYDAY! For instance today we got in a pair of Louis Vuitton sunglasses, a few dresses, bags and a couple of antique items for the home. Also, most of the items that we get in are either brand new with the tags still on them or gently used and have only been worn a few times. If you are ever in Glen Cove, make sure you stop by and say hi to me, Kat or Renee and I promise that you will find something in there that you will love!
