Le Pirates de Penzance

 Lily's wardrobe is head-to-toe Hinesite Vintage. I'm wearing a dress from Atomic Warehouse, Forever21 earrings, and Charlotte Russe shoes. Accessories are from my personal vintage collection. 
Earlier this month, I met up with local artistic beauties Lily and Leah to collaborate on a much-anticipated photo shoot. I met Lily through Hinesite Vintage and we immediately bonded over one another's eclectic tastes in fashion. It turns out that Lily is friends with amazing photographer Leah Kolakowski; setting up a photo shoot between the three of us was inevitable. Decked out in vintage (kindly lent by our respective bosses!), we traipsed along the Susquehanna River, role-playing as bonny pirate queens. Admittedly, I was a bit nervous shooting with film (as opposed to digital), but I couldn't be more elated with these photos! Thank you, Lily and Leah----I can't wait to work with you both again!
Mwah! Mwah!

These photos are brilliant, Leah is an amazing photographer! And gorgeous models of course. Looks like it would have been a really fun shoot - to play stylish pirates complete with swords, scarves, and beautiful vintage frills.
Love it!

That is beautiful...love the clothes, especially the skirts :)) Marvellous photo shoot and idea :)) xx

OrigamiGirl said...

Wow! These photos are incredible! I love the richness of the colours and you both have the most beautiful dresses on. This is probably my favourite shoot of yours I have seen yet. Plus, I like the use of foils.
I feel inspired to see if I could find a private place to shoot with my epee some time! (cause weapons in public is always a bit awkward plus technically not legal). Im guessing you had a private spot for them.
