Another Phi-Style + WeWearThings collabo! This time, shot by our friend Annie of Annie Cat Photo.

The inspiration behind the shoot originally came from the Emma Watson Teen Vogue shoot – romantic, vintage, Victorian, luxe, rich jewel tones, and lots of baubles. The more we prepped for the shoot, the more DIY-centric it became. In the end, we ended using Issa’s handmade skirts and making almost all our own accessories – the flower brooches, bib-necklaces, and of course, the Maison Michel-inspired lace ears.

We loaded everything up in a Honda Civic and took over a [still-functioning!] train yard off of I-10.

The sign of a great photog? The ability to make you look great and effortless when in fact, there was awkward face times, trembling arms from hanging off sides of trains, and having Fiance and Dru!!! swat 15 mosquitos off your legs in between shots.

Aside from being the mosquito-swatter, Dru!!! photographed us as well. His version coming up later!
