buying vintage = buying eco-friendly!

Yes, buying vintage is one way to recycle! And I think it's definitely stylish :) So many choices!

Here one of our favorite models is wearing a jacket found at 3ringcircus <- another favorite! The courtneycourtney dress was actually a surprise 'trust me' listing, revealed only after it was bought! It makes me so happy to see outfits like this come together, that pre-loved clothing has new life and is ready for many more adventures! Which make for great stories and memories.



This is back in the Fall... so many options!! So fun!

super-stripes! inspired by illustration!

I received this AWESOME drawing from a talented little artist!



I was so inspired I created this dress:



And here Serenity shows us how she wears her stripes!





COOOOL!!!

And, Serenity's vest is from 3ringcircus!

ISO : stylist + photographer ! vintage style :D

You know how inspired I get by vintage finds!

I just got this cute vest from 3ringcircus!
And I plan to make a coordinating dress of course :D



This vest is a size 3/4.
Are you a photographer? With a size 3/4 model?
Send me a photo of your model and your website, and tell me how you would style this sweater vest + cc dress.
Also please tell me how long you think it will take you to photograph the set.

You will get to keep both!! The sooner you can shoot, the better!

So, send your photo, link to your work, time frame, and how you'd style a cc shoot to info.courtneycourtney@gmail.com

I do get a lot of requests, so now's your chance! Who knows what it could lead to...

Here are some previous projects:

vintage mix!

I found this sweet corduroy jumper at 3ringcircus and wanted to see what outfit it could become!



I was inspired by the royal blue and touches of red, as well as the nostalgic, toddler feel of the jumper, to create a ruffle tunic that would peek through the center the same way the red pops from the blue.



Always-fashionable Serenity helps us model!





Oh hello Bamboletta Doll Haven! And you match too :p




See what else might remind you of your childhood, and inspire you and your children!
