The goal of the photo shoot this week, was to keep it simple and show the beauty of the clothing and accessories.  We had a lot of great poses for our Rising Star Gabrielle because she has the look of several famous supermodels that we had seen in some of the past fashion shoots that we have done with her.  One in particular that I quickly shot of her on the back porch of the store last summer reminded me of a “Calvin Klein” ad because of her natural beauty.

With this outfit, I needed to use a bootcut jean because they are back in style and I wanted to show this look for the current trend.  These particular jeans that Gabby is wearing are by Dish and they are currently on SALE at the store!

Thank goodness Spring is finally arriving this week and a great pair of sunglasses as a must!!   These darling tortoise shell  “the Rita” style by Equipment look great on everyone.  She is also wearing simple crystal drop earrings  by Bud to Rose that go with every outfit.

FLORALS, FLORALS, FLORALS!!!!   They are a HUGE fashion trend right now and it is such a relief from all our black that we have and LOVE so much!  This beautiful floral top is from Weston Wear and I added my favorite colorful threaded jewelry from Lee Angel.

With this outfit, I wanted to use the black floppy hat that we have had FOREVER for fashion shows, displays, etc and this AMAZING jacket by Zelda because it is one of my absolute favorite pieces in the store (yes, it IS black).  When I was in New York last market, all the girls were wearing these hats, so I just HAD to use this hat with “THE JACKET”!

The cute little cropped top by Alice and Olivia creates a bit of whimsy to this solid black outfit and simple jewelry always works well with every outfit, like this pretty 3 crystal ring by Bulatti.

Seriously? How SPECTACULAR is this Jacket?

Gabby looks so chic in this Isidora jacket by Zelda and these awesome, comfortable pants by Ronen Chen.  She is wearing another pair of sunglasses by Equipment in this great oversized Lana style.

We are all crazy obsessed with these COOL crystal feather earrings by House of Harlow 1960.  We have had these awhile and can’t believe that we still have them in the store.  I had to chose these for this shoot along with this simple crystal bar necklace by Bud to Rose.

This breathtaking set of brushed gold jewelry shown here is from the Versailles Jupiter Collection from Brighton.

Our new Amabel Box Pleat Skirt Dress by Alice and Olivia in this beautiful floral print works beautifully with the gold accessories.

Last, but certainly not least, is this stunning embroidered and beaded statement jacket by Alice and Olivia that I also chose to style for this post.

I wanted to add to the glamour of this jacket by accessorizing to it with a little bit of bling like this stretch cross bracelet by Bud to Rose, 3 matte silver bangles by Holly Yashi, heart shaped earrings by Brighton and a chunky crystal ring by Bulatti.

One of the biggest accessories right now are TASSEL NECKLACES and we received some stunning ones in recently from Zacashi out of Miami, Florida.  Here Gabby is wearing 2 styles, 1 neon single strand and the other is a pearl and black set with 1 short and 1 long necklace.  She is wearing a wonderful sleeveless lace top by Yoana Baraschi underneath the jacket,  black sheen pants by Ronen Chen and carrying a woven oversized crochet bag.

I hope you that you enjoyed this post as much as we enjoyed making it.  As you saw in the photos, you can understand why I chose the name of this post.  Gabrielle IS a Rising Star in Fashion modeling in the near future.

I hope that we inspired you!!
