Pink Perfect: Hall & Valena

Jerry Hall 1970's

I am in the middle of a MAJOR style overhaul in my eBoutique Evolution Vintage. I have enlisted the help of a great team to make this evolution possible. I have used the most beautiful local models, for which I have hand selected to represent a cross section of beauty and culture. My talented team mate and photographer, Tamara Wickstrom and the help of a few of my closest friends. Inspiration is all around and for this particular shot I choose the lovely and talented model, Amanda Valena to make my vision of a 70's chic moment come to life.  She just screamed Jerry Hall circa 1970's to me. She's a beautiful blond that the camera loves and she has excellent energy. She can vamp it up and made this 70's pink polyester gown a perfect mix of Jerry 1970's and Amanda 2014.

It's not that she is Jerry's doppelganger or twin but the same essence was present in these images.

Real Surreal: Prints

Mary Katrantzou - Designer

I adore prints. The more wild and unique the better for me. I have this 1970's jumpsuit in my eBoutique with this very real surreal print. I love the mix of realistic images/photographs with surreal imagery, animated or other prints. It creates the perfect synergy between reality and imagination.

Winter Garden

Prints - All available via Evolution Vintage 

Everyone loves a Fab floral in spring/summer but what about for fall/winter? I LOVE dark, earthy prints in all forms but none more than a winter garden.

Nicole Richie is one of my style inspirations. I love her bold style and enjoy watching how she evolves.  I adore this 'Winter Garden' turtle neck Jean Paul Gauliter maxi dress 

Nicole wore recently it to a Nordstrom Gala event. I am not in love with her shoe choice but I ADORE the design of the House of Harlow 1960 clutch. I wish it was made with Vegan materials however. I wouldn't carry the cow bag but I can hope to find an animal friendly alternative with the snake head clasp and the chains.
