i found the forks!

holy hannah my friends! what a frantic and busy few weeks... moving! parents! extended family! styling! serving! head cold.

here's a quick look at behind the scenes on the last two big style-jobs.

globe and mail! they had us back. which was real real nice of them. sarah was busy as all get out with all kinds of jobs, so she left me to be on set BY MYSELF! ahhhhh! terror-town. danger-ville. she and marissa (remember marissa from the coberg fur shoot? she's back! yay!) picked out the majority of the clothes, then handed them off to me, and set me off to find the shoes, jewels, extras. then i met with tiyana, style editor, and ran her through our ideas, and we picked, and shot. the highlight on this one was definitely pulling shoes from david's - an amazing boutique that carries all the kinds of shoes i dream about owning one day - louboutin, jimmy choo, balmain, valentino, and on and on... beautiful beautiful things. and the salesmen, all middle-aged and in suits, are amazingly kind and friendly and lovely. such a good time.





(this shoe was actually from town shoes. it. was. AMAZING! it weighed a ton. serious weapon.)



(balmain. valentino. sigh.)










then. another green-screen add! for the ritz carlton. two people, six outfits each, and a BLUE TREADMILL! we did nearly lose the female model in a tragic treadmill-greta-constantine-gown-mashup. but. she remained upright, thanks to her superior heel-handling-skills, and the male model's quick reaction time. scary moment! it was great-and-amazing having marissa on shoot (aka, a second assistant, meaning my work was halved.) she is the bomb. and our returns day for the job was super great. good company. many hands. awesome.










p.s. below is the steamer i want. it is the best one i've encountered so far. just. you know. so you know...

Jiffy steamer - Nice...

It was pretty cool to see your GaM style piece while sitting out on the deck in Muskoka. Nice of Carl to buy two for us!

I spy your travelling stylist's kit in one of those photos.
Also, enjoyed the blue treadmill.

First of all, The Forks is in Winnipeg. I could have told you that... .

Next, whoa, Sarah-less shoot! Does that mean that instead of "assistant stylist" you were "stylist stylist?"
