Last weekend I got the opportunity to work with my favorite vintage shop, Most Everything Vintage! I spent the early morning hours shooting six distinct looks at three different locations (around downtown Vancouver, WA) with shop owner and photographer Alisa Tetreault.
I very rarely give up my styling rights but when I do, I hand them over to Alisa. She knows my vintage style so well that I always end up obsessing over the looks she hand picks for me.
Not only do Alisa and I share a love for vintage, we also share a love for editorial style photography. I spend so much of my free time looking at vintage Vogue covers and photos of Old Hollywood actresses because those images inspire me the most. I’ve never considered myself to be a model or actress, but editorial shoots really allow me to channel the women I admire most in front of the camera.
This is just one of the looks we shot at Providence Academy, a location that has been on my list for a while. If you’re a fan of old buildings, this one doesn’t disappoint. Built in 1873 it once received recognition for being the largest brick structure north of San Francisco.
For 110 years, the building served as the governance of local ministries, a school, hospital and even an orphanage. Today the academy is on the National Register of Historic Places, open for public tours and rented out as commercial space. It truly is an important link to Vancouver’s past and I’m so glad ongoing efforts are in place to preserve it.
Style tip: This 80s dress was easily styled two different ways by swapping out accessories! For the perfect day to night look consider layering with a denim jacket .
Thank you to Alisa Tetreault of Most Everything Vintage for partnering on this post.
