And Another One...

Today I was featured on a magazine/blog called Lipstick Dream Mag. I was featured for my styling work and and as owner of The RAD! Shop!

I have posted a snippet of the interview below:

Have you ever gone into a  clothing store and saw something so amazing only to find out it was way above your price range? It’s the worse feeling ever. Well  fashion stylist and online boutique owner Rene Alise is to the rescue!

Her online Boutique The RAD! Shop ‘s motto is “Look Like A Million Bucks Without Breaking The Bank.”

Living Young, Wild & Carefree

It's no secret that I love working with Dior. There's always tons of energy at our shoots. We are constantly laughing, cracking jokes, and just having fun doing what we love.

This past Sunday we had a shoot in this big field that I always pass on the way to one of my friend's houses. We had to postpone the shoot for hours and then we had to cut it early due to inclement weather. However, despite that AND the fact that we were mosquito prey for about an hour, we managed to squeeze in two looks and get some amazing shots!

Check out a few snapshots below:

This is a shot of Dior when she first put the button down on. I loved the sexiness and crispness of the oversize white button down and gold chains against her skin but something was off. I simply rolled up the sleeves of the button down and voila! I had the perfect, carefree look that was perfect for the scenery.

The RAD! Swimsuit Shoot

On Thursday, I had a photo shoot for the swimsuits that will be available for sale in my boutique, The RAD! Shop! 

This was my third time working with the model, Dior. She's so beautiful and sweet and she's so goofy that the shoots never feel that long or have a dull moment lol. 

I did a little bit of styling work, but not too much because this shoot was more about showcasing the swimsuits. 

Check out some photos below: 

Styling Portfolio

After searching and searching for a site where I could host my stylist portfolio, I finally found somewhere suitable. I am the newest member of the Krop Creative Database!

I host my portfolio there, with my own custom domain and I'm able to edit my profile as freely as I like. It's a great tool and I recommend it to models, photographers, and other stylists that want somewhere to host their portfolio. It's very professional looking (and your portfolio should be professional looking. No I'm clearly having a photo shoot in a house shots allowed.).

The RAD! Shoot

This past Sunday, I styled another shoot with Dior. This time I got to style her in some pieces from my upcoming boutique, The RAD! Shop. The scenery was very edgy and I loved playing with the looks so that they meshed with each backdrop.

Check out some photos below!

Look 1: Check out the "Skyscraper" platform heel which will be available for sale in limited quantities when The RAD! Shop opens! 

Black Vintage Jumpsuit with silk lapel detail. Styled with snakeskin wedges and turquoise and silver jewelry. 

"Obscene Cream Tee"styled with distressed and ripped denim, gold wrap cuff, and gold stackable rings.

Do Work

So this past Thursday, I styled a shoot at Piedmont Park with an up and coming model named Dior. She was so gorgeous and full of energy and I had so much fun at the shoot that it definitely did not feel like work!

The shoot was outside and had a Spring theme, so I made sure to incorporate bright prints, neons, and tons of strappy sandals into the shoot.

Check out the three looks I created below:

Match the intensity of a boldly-printed dress with colorful sandals.

When mixing prints, make sure the prints have at least one color in common so you look trendy, not tacky.

Neons look great when paired with neutrals and minimal jewelry.
