Behind the scenes: Fall 2011

Can you believe Fall is just around the corner? I sure can't, seems like summer just flew by.

This past weekend, I had the Fall 2011 (part 1) photoshoot in downtown Hull. The model had to wear long sleeve shirts, leggings, tall boots on one of the hottest days of the year. Modelling isn't has glamorous as it seems. lol!

Here are a few pictures I took while the photographer and model were working their magic. More details to come soon..

Spring/ Summer 2011

Wow, talk about being a delinquent blogger. My last post was 4 months ago, yikes! The fall was extremely busy for me. I received numerous requests from boutiques and many orders from my Etsy store. I tried to manage all of this while still working part-time and completing my Spring/ Summer line.

Finally by early March, my Spring line was completed I needed to plan the photoshoot. I found a new photographer, Van, and we scheduled the shoot at the National Bank/ Currency Museum after a recommendation by local blogger Andrea from A Peek Inside the Fishbowl. I had a last minute model cancellation but luckily Lydia was able to step in at the very last minute. She was so professional and polite, it's hard to believe she's only 16.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the shoot:


Alana top - bamboo jersey in celery


Eva top - bamboo jersey in black


Annabelle top - bamboo jersey in lavender


Caryn dress - bamboo jersey in blue

Fall stockists

It's been a busy few months for me. I don't think I've ever sewn so much in my entire life. I was able to send out fall stock to 3 new Canadian stockists, including one in Ottawa (Yay!). Not too bad considering I only finished my fall collection in early September. Learning from this experience, I'm trying to get a head start on my Spring collection. I've already started sourcing fabrics and drafting initial styles. Hopefully, a new collection will be ready in 2 months. In the meantime if you live close to one of these lovely shops, why stop by to check out their selection.
