influence

I'm starting to think about making the new fall collection..my spring line is being photographed next week..and I was trying to get inspired..

Something I like to do is make a board of gorgeous images..and design something based on that image.. for example the spring line was all based around this picture It captivated me...and said retro...and I don't normally work in pastels but I wanted to try it this year. stretch myself

 and last years fascinators were based on birds in these pictures I started using wire because it reminded me of a cage and I liked the contrast behind soft feathers and hard wire and the symbolism behind a bird being set free out of a cage...

         so for my new  collection.. I want to entitle it... influence... and I need your help

I saw a post by talented etsy friend miss agnus from knock knocking and I couldnt help but fall in love with the idea..because she does exactly what I do with inspiration pictures she's doing something like this with a couple pieces ... And the more I thought about what she was doing the more I though that it would be amazing to make a whole collection on images that stir up something inside of people...

I'd love your help with showing me some of your favorite pictures. I need ideas, your ideas my friends.. I know you have a picture somewhere on pinterest that ever time you look at it it just screams to your soul.. I want to see it... like yesterday

If you have an image that you love; something you pinned on Pinterest, a favorite bouquet, a dress, a piece of art... a party.... share it with me! Post it on my cocorosecouture facebook wall and I will choose 10 from what you share with me to make my fall line for the shop.  Whoever has their image chosen for a creation will also win a gift card from the shop. thats right 10 gift cards..you are allowed to post 3 images... I'm so excited  to see what moves you.

It's the bogo sale!

This week only we are having our bogo sale.. so if you need accessories for anyone on your list or need something to get ready for that holiday party..now friends is the time for a deal. In other news- I sent off my spring pieces to get photographed this week..  all vintage inspired. I'm so excited it's like waiting for Christmas presents. And I thought Id throw in a little incentive for sharing this with everyone- since word of mouth is the way to go! esp internets wise-- A 50 dollar gift card to the shop.. if you blog about the bogo sale- or you share a link to the fb site and then let me know by commenting below with a link to your post.. I'll choose a winner on saturday! 

new product line fall 2011

shooting the new fall line was a blast I knew i wanted something schoolish and mad men inspired..but on the lighter side..so I took the fall pantone colors along with the matilda jane and persnickety lines and made pieces to match the brands and the palette. I wanted something that was every day wearable by grown ups and girls so i stuck to felt bows and some english netting josh @ innov8 photography  check out there fb page....rocked the shoot and was so organized for having to coordinate models makeup and hair..thanks to my awesome hair stylists from paul mitchell ..leah for doing makeup and of course josh..It was such a fun shoot and so great to collaborate with a bunch of creative people. thanks for the rockin time I already have some spring inspiration.

the typewriter used to belong to my granpa he ran a pharmacy in salt lake city..I love that this used to belong to him and it traveled with me back to canada

 books/fan were from second hand chic antiques in salt lake city as well- desk from di in rexburg idaho all the dresses were from shabby apple except the rainbow dress which was my fav dress of all time from kate spade. It reminds me of a cute kindergarten teacher.

 pulling off twiggy amazingly
