behind the scenes.

i've said it before, but it truly does takes a village to make a photoshoot a reality.  so much time and energy goes into prepping for the big day, but it is beyond rewarding once you see the final takes!  last week, i styled a shoot for mertins eye care with an absolute dream team. . . here are a few behind the scene snapshots!

{a glimpse of the final product... eek!}

rock and roll ruby.

the comfort of a t-shirt, complete with over-the-top studded shoulder pads?  are you kidding me?  sold.  however, i did glance down at one point throughout the day only to realize my top + my handbag + my laptop bag were all black & studded.  a friend said i must have been feeling {extra} sassy while getting dressed, and i think she was right!  i've clearly been having a rouge et noir moment, as documented here earlier in the week. . .
