Cole + Parker : Photo Shoot

May 23, 2013 by Lofthouse

We had the amazing opportunity of running the show for the most recent Cole + Parker lifestyle photo shoot for their new website! We had to accomplish 35 different scenes/lifestyles to represent each of the fun, vibrant socks. This meant styling 35+ different looks, finding 35+ locations, and a lots of propping! This was right up our alley, mixing business with pleasure, because we truly enjoyed the experience. We got to work with an amazing photographer, Justyna Sokolowski who was […]

Ashley & Juan

April 7, 2013 by Lofthouse

I had the delight of helping out in a few areas of Ashley & Juans wedding last summer. By no means am I a videographer, but their wedding presented the perfect opportunity to try my (hopefully steady) hand at this art. It was such a fun afternoon and evening, and what a beautiful, happy, lovely couple to catch on tape. Enjoy!

Easter

March 30, 2013 by Lofthouse

Happy Easter Weekend! We cannot believe how quickly this year is flying by. We love spring for a number of reasons. When it comes to fashion, pastels are always such a beautiful switch up from the dreary winter layers. Below are a few spring-y photographs from a Parisian themed tea party we staged for a photo-shoot. Hope the Easter Bunny is treating you well. Jennifer & Jesse

Live Chic

March 25, 2013 by Lofthouse

The Fashion Merchandising program of Fanshawe College runs a store within the College called “Live Chic”, or as we call it “LC”. In a way, the store is used as a classroom environment, in which students are able to play out situations, techniques and strategies we learn in class, within an actual retail store. Students able to participate within all aspects, such as: merchandising, selling, managing, and buying. My passion for entrepreneurship was put to use, when partner Meg Dobbie […]

The Spectacle Company

March 25, 2013 by Lofthouse

The stars aligned for Mr. + Mrs. Lofthouse. It is a rare happening; however, we both shared the same “day-off” together from work. Some might wonder what we do in our spare time together– two of our favourite things of course! Shopping and blogging. In early February 2013, at the corner of Oxford and Hyde Park Road, The Spectacle Company opened its doors to the city of London. We happen to love supporting local businesses with promotional blogging, so when […]

Tucson Buying Trip

February 5, 2013 by Lofthouse

Short and sweet were the two words to describe my trip to Tucson, AZ. I had the pleasure of accompanying a friend at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. This was my first out of town buying-trip experience. My brain was a sponge, taking in every ounce of information. I absolutely loved every minute of the trip, whether it was buying, or creating some fabulous memories with my darling friend. This was the perfect trip, in preparation for MAGIC, in […]
