Some favorite shop photos from ! I have known Rachael for years. She owns the beloved jewelry brand .ren but a couple years back she asked me to help out with her new shop. In what feels like another life, I had two shops, one in West Chester and one in Philly. I helped Rachael make timelines for the shop, pick out furniture, and stuff like social media and email marketing. If you don't know of the store or her brand, please give her a follow. Rachael is an incredibly thoughtful and intentional business owner, and I am so excited for her and her shop!
Racheal was also my FIRST EVER styling client. She hired me to thrift for her and trusted me without any experience. I will be at her store on July 13th with a rack of vintage clothes and tons of styling advice to give :) Come say hi!

New work for . I've been working with Rubin, the owner for a few years now. They decided it was time to work on a website redesign, which my friends at Next Chapter did for them. We focused on a wide breadth of products, and shot over 60 in 8 hours. I love shooting jewelry. It's mostly about styling, posing and finding the right lighting. Shooting outside in Graduate Hospital gave us tons of background options and as we walked block to block, we stopped and grabbed photos as we went.
Connecting with everyone on set is really important to me and I think it makes the photos feel more natural because the models are at ease and having fun. Its funny how much your social connection with people can completely change a shoot.

Recent work for and Next Chapter Designs. I LOVED THIS SHOOT. It was so full of joy, powerful women and a seriously delicious product. I hadn't heard of Mother Butter before a few months back, and Kristen blew my mind with her knowledge of seed cycling and health foods in general.
We had such a blast all day and I feel so lucky to have been a part of this brands storytelling and imagery.

Okay it’s hot as hell here in Philly which for me means it’s time to break out my silk scarves. No more gate keeping this hot weather hack. I also love how much a shoe change and a different styling of the scarf can really change the vibe of the outfit! See my previous post for more ways to rock a silk scarf.

Recent outfits. I’m trying to get better about documenting my outfits for one very simple reason, it helps remember what I had that I know pairs well together.
As I delve into the world of styling, I have learned that one of the most useful and powerful tools a stylist has is building outfits for clients that they can revisit time and time again. If you buy quality clothing not driven by trends or fast fashion, you can always go back to outfits that made you feel confident and comfortable.
For those of you who know me best, you know I have a lot of clothes, so this is a big task. I’m going to start doing it organically and I’m starting a folder in my photo app on my phone to store them all!

My summer thrift wishlist! I spend lots of time in thrift stores and this is a very attainable wishlist. Linen, oversized shirts, maxi skirts, stripes, preppy polo stuff silk scarves I can wear as a top and dresses with volume.
Last photo is a vintage Ralph Lauren dress my mom thrifted, it’s the kind of volume I’m looking for. I borrowed it for my bachelorette and it might still be hanging in my closet 😬😍

Tesoro Design was built to empower women. Founded by Brit Reed a millennial woman and Fashion Institute of Technology graduate, Tesoro aims to provide products that make women’s lives easier. With a focus on multi-functional products, every Tesoro bag can be worn and styled uniquely by every single fierce female that shops with us.
We believe that supporting American companies is not only better for our communities, but also for the environment, and we aim to teach you a little more about the fashion industry along the way. We want to show you how each purchasing decision you make drives the industry into a better place for the world as a whole. Conscious shopping is here to stay, and we are excited to be a part of this growing community.
Raising awareness of the damaging effects of the fashion industry is at the heart of Tesoro Design. The fashion industry, and specifically the leather industry, is riddled with problems. From workers being exposed to dangerous chemicals, to child labor, every piece of a handbag can have serious consequences. By working to educate people about these problems, we hope to help women understand the power she has to make a change and save lives.
Tesoro Design is located in the heart of Philadelphia, PA on South Street. At Tesoro’s flagship store you will find Brit carefully crafting every product you see on our website, or in store. We make a small number of bags because we know that women want something unique and special. Only two - five bags are made in each style and color range. With the intention of uplifting other female entrepreneurs, Tesoro’s shop also features artists from the Philadelphia area like jewelers, illustrators, and potters.
Materials
Raising awareness on the damaging effects of the leather industry is at the heart of Tesoro Design. By sourcing as much of their materials as possible from within the US, Brit hopes to teach her customers why it is important to care about the journey of a handbag before it is purchased.
The leather industry is incredibly damaging to both the environment and those who work in its tanneries, particularly outside America where regulations are either less strict or nonexistent. By sourcing leather from within the US, Tesoro can provide handbags that do not contribute to the destruction of a country's natural resources, towns, and people.
Sourcing materials within America and keeping production local significantly reduces Tesoro's carbon footprint. Fewer fossil fuels are used to ship materials needed to create a Tesoro bag. In addition, Brit uses local Pennsylvania companies to fulfill many of Tesoro's needs.
