Into my wild

So in July, I had my first fashion coordination and styling opportunity! I was asked by Lauren Malyon an up-and-coming musical talent out of Port Perry to style everyone for her cd release show.( Lauren and Paul, who happens to be the keyboard player in The Restless Age, spent countless hours writing and arranging an unbelievable ep which was finished late spring.)  

I had such an incredibly amazing time working with Lauren, and everyone in the band. Lauren and I spent hours one day trying to find the perfect shoes for her dress, which was a very special dress, so it needed some very special shoes… We thought we had lost all hope but then, I spotted them across the store. I grabbed the box, didn’t even let Lauren look at them and said, “These are them, try them on.” She then proceeded to ask if I was kidding.. but oh! I was not! It was like Cinderella all over again. They were a perfect fit!

I was overwhelmed by the response of the crowd and how well they thought every looked. Especially when people, unaware that I was the one who styled everyone, would say how great the band looked! I had so much fun scouring thrift stores for all these different elements for the guys to wear as part of their outfits. The budget was really limited, like $0 to be exact. For the most part, the guys and ladies just brought whatever they had and I chose what they would wear. So especially considering that, everyone was quite stylin! 

Not only did she ask me to style everyone… for the encore, she asked me and several of her close friends to come and sing and dance with her! We sang, “My boyfriend’s Back” as well as, “Hit the road Jack.” Wow, it was incredible. I was super into it. So nervous to mess up the words but, the only time when I got the words perfect was when I was doing it for real! 

Lauren you are such a sweetheart. Thanks for the opportunity!
