Street Style Sunday

This weekends street style features lovely Lucy; a very bright little girl I met while visiting one of my favorite lunch spots, De La Cruz Bistro in downtown Mesa. We may have our next fashion icon on our hands with this little darling; not only is she adorable with her killer eyebrows, she's also got killer style!

I was not the first to notice Lucy's great look; The Almost Famous Film Festival also took notice and made her not only the image for their donation page, but the cover of the festivals C.D.!

I'll bet we'll be seeing a lot more from Miss Lucy!

Fun With Friends!

It's always a great time when you get to work with your friends. This past weekend I had the

pleasure of working with Jim Conner who is a fabulous photographer. He's got an eye for angles and interesting composition. He creates images that draw you into their space and time. Check out his blog here for a sample of his work.

Our lovely model was sweet miss Jess. She's itty-bity, adorable, fierce, and stunning all at the same time... and EVERYTHING looks amazing on her. How could you not <3 her!? It was our 1st time working together and I can't wait to shoot with her again! See you soon doll!

And we couldn't have done it without our friend Nick who let us use his super awesome warehouse to do the shoot. I love this space because the possibilities are endless here. Every nook and crank in this place is a great spot to shoot. From beautiful vintage furniture to heavy machinery it's got everything for props and the

cement floors and industrial windows and shop doors... I could g

o on and on. BIG thanks Nick!! If you'd like info about doing your next shoot at the warehouse please contact me at ruebiretro@gmail.com.

Here are a few of my favorite images from out dynamic shoot!

Eye Catching Vintage Glasses

Vintage Cat-eye and horn rimmed are back in a huge way and I am loving it! Take a peek at the styles listed on RR and on Etsy.

Vegan Cupcakes. Well.. almost.

I reeallly wanted some cupcakes last night so I found this awesome vegan recipe and decided to give it a go. I did a little altering so they weren't exactly vegan but they tasted great! Here is the original recipe.

For my cupcakes I used butter instead of margarine (because it's what I had), whole wheat flour, store bought cream cheese frosting that was left over from Valentines day ~ note the pink, and I didn't add nutmeg or walnuts because I don't have any. They ended up tasting just like carrot cake. Amazing! I will definitely be making them again.
