Vintage Fashion Styling: Sterling Clairmont by Louiza Vick

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to style a 1940s vintage fashion inspired editorial with the talented Louiza Vick and the ridiculously pretty Sterling Clairmont. We shot in a lovely park in Malibu and I was ever so pleased that we got horses in the shoot! I didn't want the shoot to look overly costumed, so I tried to pick outfits that still appeared modern.

Adorevintage.com May 2011 Lookbook

The AV Vintage May 2011 lookbook shoot was a really fun day spent with friends and a team of talented individuals. I had quite a lot of fun styling the shoot which was inspired by the 1960s (a modern take on Brigitte Bardot hair and thick lashes with coral lips). I wanted to keep the clothes very subdued with hints of cocoa and caramel here and there. You can purchase all the clothes featured in the lookbook at Adorevintage.com

I hope you love the new Lookbook images as much as I loved putting it together! Life is a bit hectic right now (I'm moving, again!) but hopefully will be able to create a June/July lookbook as I have so many ideas in my little noggin!

Wardrobe Styling: Raina Hein by Sade Williams

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure to style Raina Hein (mostly known for being runner up on America's Next Top Model Cycle 14) for a test shoot with the talented Sade Williams.


It was a fun easy shoot in L.A. in easy urban clothes. As a wardrobe stylist I'm always challenged to not dress everyone in pretty vintage dresses and add cardigans and little hats to every ensemble... ^_^ so I was quite pleased with the beautiful images that were captured without it getting too girlie as I can very easily lean to.


Raina is one of the sweetest girls I've met, she's just like how she appeared on the show (which I asked many questions about... "what's Tyra really like?") I actually got to style Raina twice, those photos I'll post up once I receive more of them! I hope you enjoyed the photos!

You can view more of my styling work on my online portfolio www.rodellee.com but it's still under construction...

P.S. - If you feel like being jealous, Raina is wearing ONLY mascara in these photos. What a lucky gal!!! She says she gets her luminous skin from years of living in wintry cold Minnesota and washing her face and scalding hot water!
