Stunning new photoshoot

A couple of weeks ago we were lucky enough to spend the day with our photoshoot dream team, to create some stunning new images. Although the new collection will be out very soon, we realised we’d never actually done a photoshoot using all our old favourites before!

And so, early on a Monday morning, coffee & croissants at the ready, we met at the gorgeous Highbury Hall- Emma Case with her technical cameras ‘n’ stuff, Jodie Hazlewood & fab assistant for the day Beth Lacey ready with hair-grips, lashes & lippy, and our ever gorgeous models, Verity & Lana. This is the second shoot we’ve done with this team & all I can say is what an absolute pleasure it is to work with such talented individuals- not to mention the fact that they’re all great fun & we spend much of the day giggling (tricky when trying to master a dreamy 1920s type look..

The shoes lend themselves to a 1920s/30s theme, enhanced perfectly with dresses from Timeless Couture, Fur Coat No Knickers, Caroline Atelier & The Wedding Club. Beautiful accessories from Laurel Lime & Sharper Millinery finished off the look to a tee.

And so these images were created. We couldn’t put them all up but here’s a rather delicious selection. Hope you like them, we’re thrilled. They sum up what we do- understated, elegant, vintage style. Keep an eye out for these appearing over the next few months online, in magazines & on our website.

Thanks to Highbury Hall & everyone involved. Already looking forward to the next one..xx
