Flashy Fun with Sweet Echo Plus and Lady Luck Pin Ups

 

 

Recently I was asked to be part of a photo shoot for Sweet Echo Plus at Lady Luck Pin Ups. Of course I accepted. It's such an honor to be asked to work with such an amazing group of women.

About a month ago Lady Luck Pin Ups switched up shops. They moved from the quiet town of Dunnville into the downtown core of St Catharines, Ontario. Moving forward getting bigger and better. Jennifer McCready the owner has been working hard to get the new space in order and looking fabulous. She hasn't had to do it alone. Lady Luck shares the perfect space with Metamorphosis Beauty Group.  Metamorphosis is run by adorable and charismatic Aimee. Aimee has spent many years in the industry, from modelling to make-up. With Jennifer working the camera and Aimee coiffuring the hair, these two ladies really are a partnership made in heaven. 

Sweet Echo Plus is one of my favorite places to shop. Michelle the owner is such a doll. She is always up on the newest styles from Hell Bunny, Spin Doctor, Chic Star, as well as other brands. I totally love my Hell Bunny dresses! They always hug all the right curves and make me look fantastic. Sweet Echo was hosting this photo shoot in order to present some of their already in stock items as well as the new Spring/Summer stuff currently coming in.  I was super pumped to get to wear some of the new dresses. I totally had been eying the new Tabitha dress from Spin Doctor. I can't wait to see the images from this fantastic day!! Look for my face on the Sweet Echo Web Site!!! Coming Soon:) Woot!

You can find out more info on all these lovely ladies, by checking out their FB pages. Valentines Day is just around the corner and all three of these businesses have wonderful things to offer, for yourself or your loved one.The Sweet Echo Plus FB is currently taking pre-orders for the Hell Bunny SS14 stuff so make sure to check it!

David Cronenberg Evolution in ModCloths Tremendous Taste Dress

Promotional cards, ticket stubs and the jewelry I made to wear for Evolution.

 

 

 

I'm so in love with horror and dresses. In that order. One of my all time horror favorites is director/actor David Cronenberg. I've totally been crushing on Cronenberg since the early 90s. I first encountered Cronenberg as Dr. Philip Decker in Clive Barker's Nightbreed. I've had a hard core school girl ever since.

This year for Christmas my husband Graham, got me the usual horror and clothing. I hate practical Christmas so I was one happy ghoul. One of my gifts was tickets for David Cronenberg Evolution. WOOT WOOT! This past weekend we ventured into the city (Toronto) and hit up TIFF Bell Lightbox for the exhibit.  

I may have been slightly over dressed for a casual daytime viewing of the exhibit. Meh, I am big into dressing up. Plus my honey bought this dress for me and I wanted to wear it for him. He picked it out and everything. Pretty impressive for my fashionably challenged hubby .

My dress came from ModCloth. 

I wish I could link you to ModCloths Tremendous Taste dress, but it recently has sold out. This dress retailed for $69 and went on sale a couple weeks ago for $34!!!! ModCloth is awesome for sales. I get email every day and have found some great deals. This dress is a size 4X and fits me perfect. I have heard mixed reviews of ModCloths sizing. So far, I'm three for four. I did get an item over Christmas that didn't fit. It was too big! I had been worried about stuff being too small. If you're interested in trying ModCloth you can use this LINK  to receive $15 off your first order. 

 I was not sure how cold it would be inside the exhibit. I know in the past, I have been to events like this that have been very chilly. I decided in order to be safe I would wear my black fur shrug from Forever 21+. This shrug is light and comfortable for indoors. Don't let the fur fool you. I picked this item up last winter so it's no longer available. You can find similar fur shrugs listed on ebay quite often. Here is one I found today that is almost exactly the same.

Picked a couple of my favorite Cronenberg films and made some themed jewelry. I had a really hard time only picking a couple. I wanted to make a piece for almost every film. Had I found a good photo of the gynecological tools for mutant woman, I surely would have designed a piece around them. If you're interested in having a piece of custom jewelry designed hit me up at Everyday is like Halloween.
