1940's Photoshoot

Here are a few pictures from a photo shoot I styled a few weeks ago to promote my beautiful friend Lottie Ryan's new website which you can find at http://lottieloves.com/

To fit in with her love for vintage dressing we themed the shoot around the the 1940's and pin up girls. This was the perfect setting to use some of our bags to accessorise the outfits, and I can't think of a better model to do them justice.
