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 […]

Today I am enjoying my first, school-free day off. I have the doors of both balconies open (opposite sides of our apartment) a beautiful breeze is filling our place up with Spring air. Somehow, symbolically the fresh air is getting me excited to start a new chapter of my life. If you’ve read my previous post “Connect 2013“, you will know that last Monday was my year end showcase of my college Fashion Merchandising program. It was a huge success, […]

Well ladies and gentlemen, two years living in London has FLOWN by. I cannot express how wonderful this entire experience has been for Jesse and I. Our move to London came with it’s rocky start… navigating around a new city, not knowing anyone, both jobless. With a little effort, we found ourselves both employed, adopting a rescue dog (our darling blog-featured Nancy), and networking/befriending some amazing people. My two college years not only educated me about the business behind […]

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

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 […]

Another project within the Fashion Merchandising program was “specialty modeling”. We found a special little girl named Nancy-Pants who was happy to work for cheese (no pun intended). She rocked these three shots, as did our male model Jesse! We drew inspiration from the Warby Parker April Fools campaign “Warby Barker”, google it… it’s a hoot! Special thanks to Monique Wiendels who photographed and edited the pictures, as well as stylist and basset hound lover Meagan Dobbie.

I am finishing up my last two months of Fashion Merchandising, and one of my favourite classes happens to be photo styling. I love the creative freedom we have for all of our projects. Classmate Meagan Dobbie and I styled this shoot, both the clothing, and scenic choices. Meg and I had the pleasure of working with photographer Monique Wiendels. To switch things up a bit from what we’re comfortable with, we decided to feature a young fashionable male, unfortunately […]

After visiting Arizona, then Las Vegas for two massive buying shows… it was no joke that Emerald Green is 2013′s Pantone colour of the year! Spring fashion is definitely taking a pastel approach with mint green trending in stores, which we would call a pastel version of Emerald. We’re loving this playful colour, cannot wait to incorporate it into our wardrobes and lifestyle. New decorative cushions anyone?
