I feel like things have been bustling lately. I've never used to word "bustling" before, but it feels very appropriate. Lots of exciting things are happening and in the works. I've been collaborating with so many amazing people lately and I'm feeling like this is just the beginning. Hopefully! 

Anyhoo, I shared the rad new logo that I worked on with the amazing lady over at Tacey Sunshine earlier this week. We got together and styled a shoot to showcase her lovely crows & pretties. It's always a blast photographing her. It was hot and humid but we managed to get some good photos. (You may recognize her from all my previous vintage shoots)

Happy Friday all! Be sure to check out her shop!

 

This past weekend I had the pleasure of styling a shoot for the awesome guys at Beauty Shop in Fort Worth, Texas. If you are local to the area and want a unique place to get a cut or color, this is your place. It ain't yo momma's hair salon. (Though they'd do a great job on her!)

The decor was grunge meets glamour.  With glitter covered sidewalks and concrete floors to statues a bit reminiscent of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre house, I could've easily seen Lady Gaga herself getting a red carpet worthy do did up here.  Once I saw owner Anthony working his magic on the models, it was even easier to imagine.  Watching him work her hair was truly like watching an artist paint a masterpiece or Stravinsky play the piano.





Rachael (a lovely friend of mine) and Charity both worked their magic in hair and makeup and together we all worked at getting wardrobe right for the shoot from my shop. We wound up going with a few funky looks that really worked well with the amazing hair and makeup.  How great are those two dresses? I hadn't seen the black dress on a model until the shoot and I feel in love with the dress all over again. They'll be in my shop soon! The blue & red western shirts already are. And you can buy the leather fringe jacket here. I can't wait to see the final photos from the shoot! I'll be sure to share them when I do!

Since I was little girl, I've been in love with the book The Secret Garden. I was one of those girls who was always looking for fairies in the woods and secret passageways in my house. After reading lots of Jane Austen books and visiting New Orleans and seeing all of the lovely courtyards and gardens, I've become even MORE obsessed. Once I became a homeowner, the possibility of creating my own secret garden has totally put me back into my whimsical fairy dream world.

In my recent post about freelancing I mentioned that I had recently revamped the Gypsy Beard Web Site! (Swing by and check it out!) I also talked about BRANDING recently as well. So I wanted to dedicate a post to talking about the Gypsy Beard Brand.
