The Pink Squirrel

Wow, time does fly when you are having fun. How have you been? I have missed you all so much!

Since my last post, I turned 35, started working with a modeling agency and hosted many of my own shoots. One of them at the Old Joliet Prison, the abandoned Statesville. That was a bucket list shoot so and I am still on Cloud 9.

Today I am going to share some of the photos from the Event I held at the Pink Squirrel, located in Chicago IL. I had so much fun working on this project and I have worked with so many people that were involved in this shoot, since the shoot, which makes this day very special to me.

Models: Megan Nelson, Cassie Neuron , Fernanda Carrasco, Jessica Gardner, Karina Zephyr, Maria Breese. MUA: Kendal Margaret. Hair: Liz Rajcan and Sarah Scalpelli from Mint Salon.

Stop and Smell the Flowers

I just love this dress. I mean who doesn't love a maxi / hostess dress, especially when its vintage. They are just so versatile and flattering on all body types. 

One of the features that I love on this dress is the V-neckline which then draws attention to the diamond on the chest. The flowers on the dress are so bright and pretty you just want to stop and smell them. This is such a fun dress.

For this look, we styled the dress more formal with black high heels and more dramatic hair and make-up, done by the amazing ladies over at Mint Salon. 

What a lovely time. They opened the salon an hr early to fit us all in, last minute. Such a blessing to have them in town. Kendra (3rd from left) is also my stylist. Love me so Mint!

My Personal MelangeStyle would be to style this look with Nike Chuck Taylors, Frye Erica Stud Oxford, or DollsKill Dr. Martens Iced Metallic Pascal Boots. I would pair all shoes with the ModCloth Hell Bunny Spell It Like It Is Bomber Jacket and toss my hair in a messy bun and call it a day. 

I hope you enjoy the look below and the styles I suggested for my own MelangeStyle. Please leave me a comment with what you would style along with our Stop and Smell the Flowers Dress.
