STYLE / 51
i just have so much fun coming together with my friends and dreaming up new concepts for these style shoots. this month we wanted to do something completely different than the last time i shot with max.
for the month of may there will be 4 very different looks each tuesday. we were lucky enough to team up with beso (an awesome shopping site) to make these funky shoots possible! each week, i will be creating get the look collections that go along with each outfit!
i always put together mood boards for my photographers and stylists so they can get a feeling for the shoot and know how to prepare. i also just really enjoy making them. i thought you might like to see where my ideas came from and a little behind the scenes on the process of these shoots…
…and can we talk about how funny it is that i remembered after the shoot about that child model photo of me right above! wow, i look the same as my 3 year old self!
i knew i wanted to have a tux for one of the looks. i just love the menswear look with little hits of femininity (like those amazing feather trimmed BHLDN shoes!)
luckily my boyfriend arian is making a behind the scenes video of all of these shoots combined! (coming out on the 4th week!) in the video you will see me dancing & posing like a straight up fool for this series. it’s a good thing max knows how to make me look somewhat normal in the photos.
if you know me, you know i love all things jazz. you can find me driving around town in my convertible gettin’ doooown to some soul music. it’s just something that really makes me really happy. so the photos were also inspired from that.
see you back here next tuesday for the next shoot! it’s quite bright!

i would totally wear this outfit to a party. would you? it’s unexpected! and the fit of it is still flattering & girly. here’s how you can achieve a very similar look…
shop: blazer / shirt / bow tie / glasses / shoes / ring / pants
I have always love women in tuxedos.. something so sexy about menswear… You remind me of Carrie Bradshaw at Stanford’s wedding! Would totally wear this for my birthday (today !!)
Love these looks! I think your hair adds so much more character to these outfits also 🙂 loving it all!
stunning.
I love your style shoots so much! A breath of fresh air…
Cutest damn pictures I’ve ever seen of you!

Ha ha! The comparison between you and your 3 year old self is amazing and hilarious!
I love that you included the photo of you at age 3. That kind of stuff is priceless!
Bri, these are wonderful. I love how everything you set your mind to do, you do, and with such excellence!
We should have done a video for this!
The styling is soooo cute! I LOVE it. You are adorbs! I buy bow-ties for my hubby and bow-tie collars for my pup. You make me want to buy one for myself. Ha!

Love this shoot! What a great theme! So different from last time but just as stylish and cool!
If this is what the first of the month looks like, I cannot wait for next week…and the week after that…and the week after that…and the VIDEO…
This is really lovely! Reminds me of a shoot I did in the Autumn; female model dressed in masculine wears:

There is nothing better than dancin’ the night away to jazz. Nothing. Also – you rock a tux!
This totally suits you to a tee! Love both your looks.
I can already picture you doing ‘jazz hands!’
