amanda, elizabeth and margaux

a few weeks ago we put together a major photo shoot for the site relaunch.  we created sets, made props, hired a master photographer and some amazing models and then decided the shoot would not be complete without some of our favorite gal pals.

we had them all dolled up by the lovely ladies at fiore beauty and then let them pick all of their favorite ban.dos to model
in our sweet ban.do photo booth.

allow us to introduce you to 3 of these lovely gal pals.

1. amanda from 100 layer cake.  easily, hands down, the chicest of the chic.  always looks perfect.  perfect shoes, perfect bag, and always, always perfect lipstick.
she grabbed a hand ful of pom pom flowers to dress up her nude pink dress (which we love).  good goin’ girl!

2. elizabeth has a super sweet blog, a super sweet little gal and a super awesome husband.  he’s cool and she’s even cooler. 
oh, and how cute is she in a girlie bow headband, pink pom pom flower and black ostrich pouf.  you go girl.

3. margaux is the loveliest gal you will ever meet.  an angel from heaven.  no wonder he scooped her up and married her like a real champ.  that’s one lucky fella.
she twirled around all day in that cute black skirt and jazzed up her look with a classic bow headband and a pinwheel bow.  nice goin’, margaux.

ps. elzabeth and margaux’s guys are both part of this awesome chunk of goodness . . . in case you were wondering.
