Behind the Scenes With Pure Anada

Photos by Krysten Cathleen Photography

Last week I scheduled a photoshoot for my Etsy shop and had the pleasure of working with a local makeup company, Pure Anada.  The lovely Kristen came down to do our makeup before we headed out to our shoot location, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome!

Here's Heidi's look:

We wanted a super light, summer look with a smooth pink lip.

Along with the powders shown above, we also used Pure Anada's fantastic Natural Mascara in black (one of my personal favorite products), the Berry lip pencil, Fresh Mandarin mineral blush and a translucent pressed powder.

Here's Anne's Look:

With Anne's skin tone Kristen went with a different palette for her eyes with gorgeous creme and yellow shades.

Huge thanks to Pure Anada for doing our makeup for us and making us look so beautiful and fresh!

Katie Cares Fashion Show 2015

This year I again took part in the annual Katie Cares Fashion Show fundraiser!

My models looking super fine, ready to walk the runway!

It was so much fun, there's so much energy and excitement on the day of the fashion show, backstage is always a flurry with changes and perfecting hair and makeup, it is truly a special time!

This lovely lady filled in last minute when one of my models was sick with food poisoning!

I finished this dress in time to wear it to the show,

My ladies working their stuff on the runway!

This event is put on by the Katie Cares Foundation who raises money to be able to provide toys, games and other loving gifts to kids in the hospital!  Find out more about their charity and the amazing work they are doing to build Katie's Cottage here.

Osborne street festival

So every year on Canada Day, Osborne street puts on a Festival...and it's called...Osborne Street Festival.  SO CATCHY!  This year I went with this lovely lady and we had bubble tea!

And sushi OH MY YUM.  This craziness on top is sweet potato tempura I think....

So many people!!

Then some downtime because it was SO HOT and we walked around for like 3 hours.

We headed to Marion Street Eatery for supper, and I really liked this quote:

"Summer is like a fresh glass of lemonade - You want to drink it fast but you want it to last forever"

Too true summer, too true.

The Back 40 Folk Festival

Here's a few looks that I sold at the Back 40 Folk Festival a number of weekends ago!  I'm loving these bright colors and vintage inspired vibes!

Here's me at my booth

Here's my dad playing along with the bands in the background :)

The Back 40 Folk Festival is a really cool festival featuring-you guessed it-folk music!  They feature local artists who create original songs and also do a workshop!

This was my 4th year participating in the Artisan Village and it was great!  The weather was awesome until right at the end when it hailed while we were cleaning up!  It was an adventure to say the least!

Pure Anada Collaboration: Behind the Scenes

I recently had the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with my favorite makeup company, Pure Anada.  

They have the cutest shop in Morden, MB and I own a ton of their stuff so I was super excited when they contacted me!

Pure Anada is a natural makeup company made right near my hometown.  I currently am loving their tinted moisturizer, cream blush and spring eye shadow colors!

I was contacted to provide clothing for a photoshoot that they were doing in partnership with Causemetics, an organization who is dedicated to helping women who have cancer.

Our beautiful model Melanie got all dolled up care of Pure Anada, donned two of my pieces and was a knockout!

Here's a few photos I snapped with my iPhone at the shoot

I'll share more once the final photos come available, but I just wanted to share a peek at the day.

Melanie is wearing custom jewelry from Marni Luhu who also partnered with us for the day!

Friday Feature: Modani Furniture

I love styling, and therefore I was flattered when Modani invited me to style a living room set for a post on my blog!

I used Polyvore to pick out a number of items from Modani Furniture to feature in this set.

I love having a lot of neutrals surrounded by a few pops of color throughout and that rug makes me wanna curl up my toes into the softness!

Thanks Modani for letting me share my style!

Swimco

Today I'm partnering with Swimco to share my experience with their new Website!

I was impressed to find, while I was browsing around, that they have a large range of sizing including larger cup sizes which is sometimes hard to find especially when you're sorta hour glass shaped like me!

I found the site easy to navigate, using categories, and lots of options like color, brand, fit, etc. and lots of shapes and styles!  I chose this beautiful Beach Glass Tankini because it has underwire support as well as a bra clasp inside of the top!  

I'm very happy with how this top fits, as I am fairly full busted, it's important to me to be supported and feel like everything is going to stay where it belongs at the pool or the beach, and this top does just that while also being extremely flattering!

I went with these hipster bottoms in the Aussie Tab style, and they are also quite comfortable!

I'm so excited it's finally Summer weather, and we can start enjoying the rays and the water!  If you still don't have the perfect suit for this Summer, take a look at Swimco, and enjoy FREE SHIPPING with this code: HEIDIANDSEEK

Make sure to order fast, this code expires June 22, 2014.  Happy shopping!
