Photo Shoot!!!! Preloved, are you ready?!

Last week was one of the most amazing weeks I've had in a long time. The company I am interning with, Preloved, gave me a chance to style some of their new line for their new online store. We had an amazing team including Kat, out amazing photographer and Slava our beautiful model.

The day started with me lugging half of my wardrobe on an hour bus ride to the studio for 9am, my grammasack (what I call my thrifted, truly grandma style small luggage bag) filled to the brim with various shorts, pants, crop tops, jackets and jewelry. I had an idea about what I was shooting, but didn't know colour, how they fit on or their silhouettes, so it was truly a toss up between everything I owned vs what we were shooting.

I arrived promptly at 9am and set everything out to be steamed and ready for when the model came in, also taking some time to start planning the outfits.

The shoot went from about 930 am till 530 pm, and I loved every minute of it. I was grinning like a fool the whole time, truly loving what I was doing. I felt like I had found my calling, an was doing a good job going back and forth  picking outfits, changing up hair and using a reflector to create wind during the shoot.

I can't wait to see the final pictures up on the website and to shop some of these wonderful pieces. Check out the website, Getpreloved.com and buy some of these amazing lovingly hand made items!

I would also like to thank Julia of Preloved for giving me this opportunity and teaching me how to fan like a champ! haha

Here are some behind the scenes photos!!

Back to Blogging! Life Update!

To anyone that has been following my blog for a while, you'll notice i tend to take a bit of a hiatus during the winter months. I don't know what it is but I tend to get lazy / not so motivated / busy doing something and usually forget to post...for that I'm sorry. Good news is, I always come back! 

Lately I've been busying myself working full time as a Personal Stylist as well as a Fashion Intern, and I've been loving it. I have reached new heights as well as grown up a lot, both lifestyle and fashion wise. Ive been trying to get more "forever" pieces and stopped going for ultra trendy things that will rot in the bottom of my closet by the end of the week. Not to say I don't get the odd piece, but now I try to find those items that will take me throughout the whole season, not just a day of it. So far I've saved a lot of money and also have way more space in my wardrobe and less headaches on what to wear in the mornings. 

Lifestyle wise I have become more healthy with vigorous workouts and a changed diet. The last time I bought junk food was maybe 3 months ago, and I have been learning how to cook all of my favourite meals. I do my own groceries now full of fresh veggies, fruits and things high in protein, and have been drinking a lot more water. I used to hate drinking water for some reason but now I drink at least 2 bottles a day. 

So this is basically just a quick update on my life as well as what I've been doing for the last few months. Stay tuned for more posts, I promise!

See, I'm still alive!
