Styling Vignettes: Feathers & Blooms

Hi friends! I wanted to start a new feature here on the blog that was all about styling and photography and pretty things. I am constantly inspired by the work of interior, food, and product stylists and find myself dissecting their images to figure out how they work their magic (I catalog my favorites on Pinterest here and here). How did they arrange items in relationship to each other? Where was their light source? What textures and colors did they use? Even the little details can have a big impact and can be the difference between you loving the image and you being turned off by it.

What I see inspires me to action so I would like this feature to be an opportunity to practice my own styling and photography skills and just be a fun outlet. I will be featuring little vignettes or moments that tell a story or convey an idea or theme. I want to focus on simple and natural beauty. Today the theme is feathers and blooms and I arranged a small collection of items, mostly natural elements from my own backyard.

The whimsical 'I Love You' print is from the talented Carolyn Suzuki. I stopped by her booth at Renegade in December and just couldn't pass up this feather illustration. The colors in the print compliment my blooming branch quite perfectly. I love how that worked out.

Do you swoon over styling just like me?

I'm so excited for this new feature! I have the hardest time trying to determine the best way to shoot products - wish you lived closer so I could just hire you!

I am a sucker for beautiful styling! I love seeing the things that come across your pinterest boards! This is a super fun new feature. I love seeing other people's styling, but rarely have the need/time to do my own. I'm hoping this will inspire me! That vial of little rocks is perfection.
