a peachy keen kind of day

I’m sooooooo excited to share with you the most recent styling project I had a chance to work on–31 Bits Spring 2013 Campaign – A Peachy Keen Kind of Day. 31 Bits is my favorite client and it’s always so fun to style wardrobe for their vision. Our team is always so great and of course, styling for a cause makes it even better! How much are you loving pastels right now???

My Style According to Lover.ly

the quiz results are in!

As you know, we are very proud to be partnered with Lover.ly–a wedding inspiration site with tons of gorgeous images that are so well tagged and organized, that it’s beyond easy to find exactly what you’re looking for. One of my favorite new additions is the Lover.ly style quiz. I had fun answering the questions and seeing results that really were my style! After I narrowed down color, here’s what I ended up with–so me:

Besides searching, saving, and sharing my images, I’m also able to shop, which is my newest favorite part. Is it wrong that I want that Elli Saab perfume even though I’ve never smelled it? It’s just so pretty! Anyhow, head over to Lover.ly to get started.

Secrets of a Stylist

Come shoot with Lady Grey!

Because I spend much of my time outside of the office as a stylist, I’m asked quite frequently to style shoots for photographers who love the idea of expanding their portfolio and shooting really gorgeous images. We get asked often enough that I thought we’d put together a new type of styled workshop that focuses mostly on shooting. We’ll be doing a blogging primer, styling tips, editor’s notes, branding 101, and then shooting. A TON.

But you haven’t heard the best part. We’re only charging $395. Yeah. Most affordable and best value out there. We’re stripping away all the frills and focusing on what you really want–beautiful stuff to shoot and great stuff to learn.

We’ve got three dates lined up for the spring and we know they’ll go quick! To find out more about the workshop, head to Secrets of a Stylist. You can also email style@summerwatkins.com to inquire about availability!

Very special thanks to Ryan Ray for shooting the image below of a shoot I styled last spring.
