For those of you that hang out with me on Twitter or Facebook, you’ll know last week wasn’t entirely a vacation. In fact, I spent most of the week hard at work…but oh, it was a labor of love, friends. You see, I was editing a fashion shoot for a new magazine I’ve been writing for called About Face. For all the fun I have blogging about style day in and day out, there’s just nothing like a real live photo shoot to get you all giddy about fashion again.

Want to see a few outtakes? Of course you do.

Don’t worry…I left the real photography to the professionals, as it’s obviously not my strong suit. Hopefully seeing all of those clamps and assistants and positioning craziness will help you remember that the way models look in magazines is an utter fiction. Most of those girls couldn’t move at all once we got them rigged up!

But then, after all that madness, there was the beachy weekend I was so looking forward to. No internet, no email, no makeup even. Just husband, dogs, empty beaches, blue skies…absolute perfection.

How was your weekend?
