Beauty & the Blog: Lisa's OOTD

We recently shared two blog posts (here & here) about shooting for the Spring issue of Lake & Country Magazine.
During our first photo shoot, we each wore two outfits. We were all asked to bring one look that was white, cream, or blush tones and the second was one that we felt defined our style as bloggers.
My first outfit I highlighted over on Stilettos and Diaper Bags, and my second outfit is what I'm sharing with you today! I feel like this outfit is very me. I love a great jumpsuit, hat, and heels so why not wear all three to showcase a few of my favorite things?!

All photos below were taken by the very talented Anna of Anna Urban Photography. The first photo is my favorite and it is one of the photos that made it into the 6 page feature spread in Lake & Country magazine!

Jumpsuit: Piperlime // Hat: Gap // Shoes: c/o JustFab // Cuff & Midi Ring: c/o Shop Lately // S Shaped Ring & Necklace: T+J Designs // Watch: Fossil // Bracelet: Lokai 

The entire experience was one I will never forget. I loved shooting with Anna as she has a way of making you feel beautiful and confident even though there were quite a few others in the room watching. I would highly recommend using her as a photographer!

What do you think of this outfit?
What outfit would you put together if asked to encompass your signature style?

Ladies Who Lunch: Lake & Country Shoot

If you're not familiar, Lake & Country magazine is Wisconsin's only property and lifestyle magazine featuring homes, condos, vacant land and commercial opportunities available for sale in Walworth, Racine, Kenosha and Waukesha Counties.

The setting for our Lake & Country Spring issue photo shoot was just lovely - Sophia's Lake Geneva home was adorned with beautiful flowers from Lily Pots and filled with her own personal vintage touches, all of which made us want to take her shopping for home decor, she has an amazing eye for treasures. Not to mention, she is one of the sweetest (and most talented) females we have met to date. She truly made us feel like professional models for a day :) 

In addition to the photos, we also did a few interviews on film and as usual, Lisa and I were slightly anxious which led to quite a bit of nervous laughter but after a few minutes, we warmed up and it was so much fun to share our story and hear those from our fellow bloggers. 

We loved sharing this experience with some these amazing ladies - Lauren is a huge inspiration to us and we are so lucky to have made a connection with her. If you're looking to advance your social media and blogging knowledge, her social media with style workshop is awesome...can't say enough good things about it...true #GIRLBOSS.

Elizabeth has a great sense of humor and I'm pretty sure we ruined a good amount of the photos because we were laughing so hard. She's also a wonderful Mom who shares her family stories and their experiences through her blog. 

The photos turned out absolutely beautiful thank you to Anna - Not only is she talented, but such a joy to work with. She made both of our shooting experiences so enjoyable so we look forward to meeting again down the road. 

Stay tuned for outfit details on the blog soon!

Behind the Seams: Lake & Country

It's truly amazing how sometimes being in the right place, at the right time, can make the stars align. Last summer, we were dining at one of our favorite restaurants near our family lake house and took a moment to blog our summer OOTD's utilizing the gorgeous landscape. 

Upon returning to our table, a gorgeous stranger with epic long locks approached us: "This might be random, but are you ladies fashion bloggers? I love that!"...First thought: Somebody saw us posing and now we're totally embarrassed...Second thought: Okay, we're actually really flattered! 

We traded Instagram handles and fast forward 6 months to that gorgeous stranger (enter, Sophia) inviting us to participate in a lifestyle editorial piece for Lake & Country Magazine. 

The shoot took place at her lovely loft apartment in downtown Lake Geneva and we had a blast. We felt like we were preparing for a fairy tale wedding with all of the blush colored flowers, amazing photographer, and lots of laughs with some favorite new bloggers (Shout out to Lauren & Elizabeth).  

Here are some behind the scenes shots:

We feel so lucky to be included in this feature and it's a great reminder of how blessed we are to have the opportunity to be creative and fulfill our passion each day through our blog and business.
