Behind the Scenes: daisy petal girls Photoshoot

Recently we launched our new girls clothing line daisy petal. So much work goes into launching any new product, but the funnest part is the photoshoot. Seriously, this was THE funnest shoot in the whole world! I don’t think any one who participated called it ‘work’…the girls had a blast and we had a blast. After all, how can you not have a blast when surrounded by cupcakes, cookies and candy??

First we took the product shots. These are the photos that just show each product on each model.  The girls, Ella, MaKailee, Emmie and Ella, stormed through these photos like the pro’s they are in anticipation of what they called the ‘scenes’. Because really, who wouldn’t want to jump to the fun part: birthdays, teaparties, candy shoppes and cupcakes…

before you get the perfect smile, you’ve got to stretch out those facial muscles!

bows must be just so!

lighting, height and everything MUST be spot on!

Then we cranked up the One Direction music (these girls are HUGE fans!) and let the girls have fun…not that they weren’t before…

First ‘scene’ (and favorite!) was the cookie baking. Our two Ella’s, known in the photoshoot as Blonde Ella and Brunette Ella, got to play with cookie dough. How many at the photoshoot will confess to having a bite? (me!)

tossing flour around, making it real!

good thing they’re friends!

We partied, baked and took photos through lunchtime. After munching on sugarcookie dough and cupcakes it was time to feed these girls something healthy.

yum yum!

After lunch a few more pictures and then it’s a wrap!

texting  friends…”what are you doing? oh me? nothing…just skipping school and modeling”

Our daisy petal models were so amazing…naturals, all of them! So much fun, we all want to do it again just as soon as possible!

Here’s a few of the actual photos from the photoshoot:

Diviine ModesTee: Official Matchmaker

 
I had a fun chat with a lady in our Boutique the other day. She was coming in to purchase a swimsuit  from us but told us a fun story about her recent cruise and her dress that she purchased at Diviine Modestee.

At the end of May, she had the opportunity to go on a Singles Cruise to several ports in Mexico. A couple of days before her cruise she came to our Boutique to select a dress to wear on her cruise. She purchased the Sabrina dress and proudly wore it to one of the dressier events on her cruise. She caught the eye of a handsome gentleman while wearing the Sabrina and feeling confident and attractive. He sidled up to her and introduced himself to her and they’ve been dating ever since!

What would YOU do with some extra ca$h?

One of our newest dresses in this season is the Sabrina.  This dress is absolutely gorgeous!  But you can see that from the photo on the right.  What you may not be able to see are the details that make this dress both high-quality AND a great price.  Take a look at the info-graphic above and compare the two dresses side-by-side.

Then take a look at the backside (the backside of the comparison dress is plain, boo!):

And then ask yourself: “Why would I spend $44 more???”

I went straight to google to help you find some ideas for that extra $44 you’ll have lining your pocket:

• A dental exam
• An icecream maker
• Pair of Angry Birds fuzzy pj pants
• A Universal Remote
• A pair of Tom’s Shoes
• One-hour facial
• An artificial plant
• An I ♥ NY shirt for your dog
• Clinique moisturizer

Surely there is someone on your shopping list this season who could use one of those items.  By purchasing this dress for yourself, you’l be able to afford a great gift for a friend, too!  See how that works?

Another Dare to Compare

Our purpose for these Dare to Compare posts are two-fold: We really want our customers to know and realize the value of the dresses that they have purchased and are wearing, and we also want to let our potential new customers know that our brand and our dresses are to be truly trusted as a source of high-quality fashion. After all, our company motto is “Designing to a Higher Standard” and our designer takes this truly to heart.

Here’s a great dress from Nordstroms by Karen Kane:

I’m a little mesmerized by the shoes, because I LOVE them so……OK, this dress is sold for $118. It is described as:

“Karen Kane Faux Wrap Jersey Maxi Dress: A front slit creates a peek-a-boo glimpse of leg while adding ease of movement to an effortless maxi dress in slinky stretch jersey.

It’s a very pretty dress and a gorgeous navy color.  Now compare it to our Grace Dress:

Diviine Modestee sells this dress for only $72.  From our website, this dress is described as:

“Sleek v- neck faux wrap dress with chiffon trim for a soft, elegant touch. Perfect waist fit for a flattering silhouette.”

Both are made with Jersey fabric, which gives a soft and sleek look.  But ours has added chiffon trim at the neckline all the way down that edge and also along the bottom and the sleeves.  This chiffon trim gives this dress a bit of a fancier look.  Ours is a little shorter (easier to get around AND show off your shoes), sleeves are full-length rather than 3/4-length, but other than that, there is not a ton of difference!  Well, except for $46.00!!

If you want to look at a few of our other designer dress comparison’s, there’s one for the Vanessa and also for the Serena.
