Turn up the Heat: Street Style Fashion Photo Shoot

I'm not gonna lie, this was one of my favorite photo shoots I have ever done! 

Why? Because it was just so damn fun. 

Yes, it was hot. Yes, it was a hectic early morning. Yes, my feet hurt later. But it was all so worth it! My friend and amazing photographer Lyn Rosten came down from Portland and we had an art date. No rules, no big plan, just trying stuff out and laughing along the way. 

I am really happy I get the opportunity to share these with you. This shoot was all about personal style and how to incorporate Dark Pony Designs in your wardrobe in a variety of ways. 

Hope you're feeling inspired.

XOXO

The Street Style Tutu

See it in motion!

 

Y'all know how much I love tutus (obviously), so I set off to create a new version of the pastel pink  classic Dark Pony Designs tutu that is inspired by street style fashion.

This skirt is a little more casual, and ready to wear with a simple waist band and a little less volume. 

Pairs perfectly with a simple tank, your favorite vintage t shirt, crop top, bustier, leotard, body suit, moto jacket, cardigan, or whatever you dream up. There really is no wrong way to wear this!

 Ready for a day of shopping, a hot date, an art gallery reception, a photo shoot, or a special birthday dinner. 

Snap one up for yourself and join this classic trend!

A Tulle Fantasy

 I have spent a large part of the New Year working on filling orders for tutus. My sewing room has been a billowing cloud of peachy pink tulle. There is something timeless and so romantic about that effortless ballet chic. It has inspired me to add more styles and colors to my shop. Here's to cotton candy sunsets and pearly white boudoirs.

The Council of Fashion Designers of America had it's annual award show the other night and it turned out the expected assortment of eye candy.  Here are my favorites:

Summertime Greeks

Ok, I admit it.   I am a Sex and the City fan. As a fashion lover, I find both Sarah Jessica Parker and Carrie Bradshaw irresistibly delightful. I have been inspired and influenced by the show, (and now the movies-not as good-but just as fun) and most recently by summer whites. Here is my latest compulsive creation brought on by the fever that is SATC2!
