Looky Looky...

Got my shots from yesterday's lookbook shoot back today. Needless to say, I am stoked. And I have the most gorgeous model ever. And the speediest and greatest photographer going round.

Photo Joy!

I'm playing around with some new photo styling for images to be used in my Etsy store and website and, by gosh, I do believe I may have it!






I know it may be boring, but I really, really love classic black, white and grey, and all my Trove branding has been based on it, so I wanted to carry the theme through into my images too. I know some of them are a little clunky, but I'm pretty happy with them.






What do you think? Are they boring? Too drab? Or do the muted backgrounds help my pieces stand out?

Grey Days and Cardigans.

I am officially loving this change in weather. Normally it would really be depressing to me but seeing as I'm currently the size of a bus, feeling every degree of heat and the fact that we've had 2 weeks of excessive heat, I am relishing in the fact that I'm currently wearing a cardigan. CARDIGAN!! Can you believe it?!

As such, I love this cardigan from Branch Handmade.



Aaaanyway, I've been rather busy retaking some of my product photos, but I'm just not sold on them. Would love some opinions on them. I'll give some before and afters.

I think I really like them, but that could just be because I've spent the past 18 months with the all-white photo style and it feels a little stale. Let me know what you think...

In other news, I really think that The Arcade Fire should do a cover of Elvis' Suspicious Minds.

That is all.
