Pixel & Hank Spring 2014

Things have been quiet around the blog. To be honest, it never ranks very high on my to-do list. The scoop is, we have been diligently working on a fun spring line, set to debut March 2014. I will have a few fun things to share on the blog then too. In  the meantime, enjoy a our spring line photo preview from Amy Carroll Photography on her blog and check out this sweet little video by Proper Makes.

In Action : P&H Spring 2013 - Everyday Accessories

Once or twice a year we team up with the super talented Amy Carroll Photography. As you all know, Amy is my go-to girl for p&h photography. This year I wanted to focus more on everyday wear. To be honest... until recently, I did not wear my accessories often enough. I'm a pretty causal person who has perfected the art of the pony tail. So... I wanted to created something that I would wear. A no fuss hair accessory that can be worn over unwashed bed head. In addition to that, I've been dying to create a floral crown. On the the shoot...

We worked with a extremely talented team... The lovely models were - Blair, Ashley and Lexie from Mathew Agency . KL from Cheeky Strutt rocked out the hair and makeup.

The icing on the cake?!? Michelle Tippmann from Proper Makes was there to capture an AMAZING behinds the scenes video!

 

You can purchase most of these pieces in our shop!

Little Black Dress Bridal Shower

 
Back when I had dinner and drinks with Amy (from Amy Carroll Photography) and Rhi (Hey Gorgeous Events) I would have never imagined that a little girls night fun chat would result in this spectacular shoot!
