I was contacted by photographer Lisa Griffin recently to style a quick shoot for 1st Options Model Management.

I was quite ecstatic for a number of reasons. Lisa had been one of the photographers that I had wanted to work with for ages (I am very fortunate this keeps happening to me!!) It was also my first opportunity to style a test shoot on behalf of an agency. Finally, it was a nice challenge. A 'let's see what Rebecca can get done in 4 days' kind of challenge. Lovely.

I wanted to work with accessories this time round. Not only would it add to the aesthetic of the shoot but it would be nice for the models to get a feel for it.

Alice Moyon's delicate brand Aliquo was my first stop for jewellery. I had spotted her work in Om Diva months before and knew it would be perfect. Her pieces are feminine yet playful. A lovely (affordable) buy for under the Christmas tree if you ask me. SHOP @ http://aliquo.ie/

I love hats. My dad and I are like Laurel and Hardy with our bowler hats. But for this shoot I wanted something a bit different. The lovely ladies of Princess Palles, Jane and Sandra, kindly lent me a number of their hats for the shoot. And they were delectable. Did we have fun with them! Perfect for any Ladies Day at na rasai or for a unique turn on a wedding outfit. An affordable and diverse range. SHOP @ http://www.princesspalles.com/

As always, I was delighted to get to work with Carousel boutique once more. I am spoiled in there! Vintage, kooky and pretty fashions. Great sales this time of year too. SHOP @ http://www.ilovecarousel.com/

And that was only the prep. The shoot itself was brilliant. Fantastic team. With the images to prove it. I would count myself very fortunate to work with them again :)
