Busy, busy, busy! That's all I can say about the past couple of months- and to think I wanted this to be a monthly editorial! My schedule - as I'm sure yours is too - is filled with work, Summer activities, errands, outings, and events to the point that I've been slacking in the blog/editorial department. But we must take the good with the bad. Hence our theme for this editorial: life's high points and its lows - all the while our fashion focus parallels on the
trending "hi-lo" cut that we've been seeing so much of in Summer shirts, skirts and shorts.
Our featured boutique is one that I've been wanting to work with for a while -
Pavement, based in Lawrenceville. Their selection of hi-lo styled attire and funky, carefree prints in bold unexpected colors, matched our theme perfectly! We chose the busy streets of the
Strip District to shoot. There, we met a man named Ed who told us his amazing story of the highs and lows of his life. We were blown away at Ed's story and his positive attitude, so we made Ed a part of our shoot.
