somewhere in between...

Honestly, this lookbook lies somewhere in between….something. Buggy monster eyes, crumbling brick, acid-neon battle graffiti and oversized dumpsters clearly clash with milky pearls, iridescent  rhinestones and layers of sparkle. What a far cry from anyplace appropriate for a slinky metallic mesh dress, wide leg trousers, satin minidress, or even heels for that matter.

Featured (in order of appearance) are my Curacao Crystal Choker and Bodychain, Strawberries 'n Cream Necklace, pearl bangles and arrow earrings, Phantom of the Opera Necklace (individual post coming soon!), and Blueberries 'n Cream necklace (individual post also coming soon) with more pearl bangles.

…and don't forget to smile!

Spring's Spell Lookbook

Spring's Spell: feminine, flirty dresses and accessories that fit perfectly into spring's romantic new beginnings. For men, that means tailored pieces with a sharp sense of style. Combining grungy brick, cracked concrete and an "alleyway" landscape made for the perfect backdrop. Contrasting this with fresh spring foliage and flowers, sweet silhouettes and graphic prints completed the "opposites attract" look. All pieces used in shoot are available at generation bliss, or on generationbliss.com. Lookbook shot on-scene in Lemont, Illinois.
Modeled by Ela, Olivia and Andrew Czupta. All photos copyright Allison Beth Cooling for generation bliss.
