OldSchoolSwank Winter 2016 Vintage Lookbook

Earlier this month my friend Julia shot the OldSchoolSwank Winter 2016 lookbook. It was a drizzly day on Lake Champlain, which made for a bit of a cold and damp experience, but I am so in love with how it affected the lighting in the photos. We shot it at a few different locations around the small town Essex, NY where she lives, including a boathouse, an old inn porch, a church door and a gorgeous fence in front of an old brick house. The location felt very "vintage" and was super inspiring, and my models braved the rain for some amazing shots. Lucky for us Julia had made some hot soup for afterwards which warmed us back up quickly. Essex is right across the lake from me in Vermont, and so I jumped on the ferry in the morning and was home before dinner that night. Great times : )

OldSchoolSwank Fall/Winter 2015 Lookbook

I am so excited to share some images from the OldSchoolSwank Fall/Winter 2015 lookbook! This is a project I have wanted to do for so long, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. My super talented photographer friend Julia Backus photographed another friend Abby in a few looks that I feel represent OldSchoolSwank's overall style for this Fall/Winter season. I love how the photos encompass a little retro, a little bohemian, and a little mod style, which are my favorite vintage items to source.

A Photoshoot Date

Yesterday Owen and I drove around and took a few photos of the OldSchoolSwank bandanas I've been making for my website. It was such a sunny, crisp fall day and it felt great to get outside and enjoy October. A butterfly even landed on one of the bandanas while we were taking photos of it! Lots of new things ahead for the website that I'm excited to share with you soon, hope everyone is enjoying their week : )

Exploring : Sterling Falls Gorge in Stowe, Vermont

Yesterday Owen and I went for a little hike around Sterling Falls Gorge in Stowe, Vermont. It was our two year wedding anniversary, and it was great to get outside and get some fresh air after a long weekend at the restaurant. The falls were so beautiful and peaceful, and we just hung out next to them while Owen took some long exposure photos again with his new filter. I jumped in once, and it was FREEZING but very refreshing. Afterwards we stuffed ourselves at an awesome dinner downtown. I am recovering today and listing some new vintage this rainy afternoon. Everything in the shop is 20% off right now, so if you've had your eye on something now is the time to grab it! Happy Tuesday everyone.
