sorry sorry sorry..........

I know, I have been terrible at posting on my blog...........well that's going to stop now.

Christmas has been pretty hectic for me at With Love Betty, the store did great over the festive period, we've been trading for just over 4 months now and so much has happened its crazy!!!

So lets give you a quick breakdown of whats been going on.........

In November With Love Betty collaborated with the 6th form college here on the isle of Wight, working with their year 12 fashion class. They were given the opportunity to enter a competition to design the Christmas window scheme for the store. This gave them the chance to gain work experience in the industry by working alongside a brief for a client. They had to research and present their ideas in a visual format in a professional manner. The winners, Meg & Khya, designed a contemporary window scheme, working towards there strengths in photography. They asked to use the clothes and accessories in store and styled and photographed their chosen model in a location which reflected the identity of With Love Betty. A main picture was then chosen and framed in a antique frame with smaller, Polaroid style photos hanging either side by string and tiny wooden pegs. They also dressed two busts in the clothes they used in the shoot and accessorised the window with props and accessories. The overall out come was fantastic. They worked in a extremely professional manner, taking the project fully into their own hands but kept me in the loop by checking I was happy with all their decisions. The window was left through-out Christmas until the new year.

Meg & Khya creating their design.

The final result....

Next......With Love Betty collaborated with Penny lane jewellery. Hand made jewellery which has a vintage feel. Rings, earrings and brooches are available and they are all unique, adjustable and absolutely beautiful.....the perfect add on for your vintage outfit!! check it out below.....

Strike a pose....

A couple of weeks ago I decided to get a few friends together to see if we could produce some images for With Love Betty. Two of my friends said they wouldnt mind trying some modeling and another friend offered to do the make-up. So at the end of the working day we got together in With Love Betty and starting choosing some outfits and getting their hair and make-up done. It was so much fun, so even if the photos were a complete failure at least we had fun doing it :)

I was having trouble trying to figure out a good location..... I wanted something with an urban, edgy feel, a industrail enviroment such an abandand factory but couldnt think of anywhere on the isle of wight. So another friend suggested I took the images down Watchbell lane, her argument being that it would promote the area and show where With Love Betty resides, I thought it sounded perfect.

So we did it, one monday evening my two lovely models posed down Watchbell lane for the benefit of With Love Betty and i couldnt thank them enough. They looked stunning, the make-up was perfect and the clothing looked fab. I am so over the moon with the final images, they look fantastic and reflect With Love Betty perfectly.

So heres the final result, let me know what you think......
