Playing Dress Up with The Outnet



  Wednesday, March 30, 2011 at 8:06 PM   |    Post a Comment     Tagged:,,, 
A few weeks ago I got an email that seemed too good to be true. It said: "You are cordially invited to art direct and star in your own fashion shoot, courtesy of theoutnet.com. [...]" Needless to say I squealed a bit and replied back right away saying I'd love to. Then I waited anxiously overnight for a reply and the rest is history.
As all of you guys probably know by now, The Outnet is one of my favorite online stores; it is Net-a-Porter's sister site that sells off season designer clothes for less!  So on March 11th, I nervously headed to New York City [see post] for my shoot.  I am SUPER shy and I've never done a photoshoot before so I was panicking a bit...okay a LOT.  Luckily my mom came with me so I wasn't as scared, and I got tons of behind the scenes photos thanks to her. I can't describe how amazing this was, so I'll let the photos speak for themselves.

My official shots from The Outnet can be seen below! They also put together a page over at the store that contains the items I wore in my shoot as well as some other items: visit that page here!

1st Look: Jason Wu dress, Sergio Rossi heels (buy all at link above)
2nd Look: Adam skirt, Adam tank, Elizabeth and James necklace, my own R2 booties

There will also be a behind the scenes video soon, I will update this post with the video when they upload it. UPDATE: The video is now online, I'm only in it for a few seconds but its so cute.

Here are some behind the scenes shots, including a panoramic I made of the studio with a couple shots she took. Thanks Mommy! <3 (as always click for full sizes)

Before I leave you all until I return from vacation, I would like to thank everyone at The Outnet for this great opportunity. So a HUGE Thanks to Eve, Natalie, John, Joe Hubrich [makeup], Mahogany Grace [hair], Paul James Hay [photographer], Jane, Suzanne and everyone else because I know I'm forgetting someone. I had an amazing time and couldn't have wished for a better first photoshoot (or press event for that matter, it was my first time doing anything officially for the blog.)
