Dreaming of Brazilian Beaches

It's 16 degrees Farenheit here in Bentonville, Arkansas, USA... so when my Brazilian photographer friend, Edney Suiter offered to show a few of his photos as EXCLUSIVE images for Kindred Closets, I jumped at it, even with his deadline of 24 hours.

If you are a photographer or model, you know it is difficult to photograph or be photographed in swimwear. Often times there is a fine line between "high fashion" or "catalog" and "men's magazine" style bikini photos. Not to judge the artistry of either category. The difficulty is in planning and execution of a desired visual and it takes hard work on the models part and photographers part to get it right.

This set of photos are PERFECT examples of how to do relaxed fashionable bikini photos without being over the top or too sultry. The model looks fresh and sweet and not too done up. She has natural poses and very little of the S curve so well known in men's magazines. These kinds of images make you want to go on vacation and enjoy a little bit of fun in the sun, especially on these cold winter days here in the Northern hemisphere.

Thanks, Edney, for sharing your beautiful work! And thanks to our beautiful model, Clara! Now I'm going to go off and dream of warmer weather, the sun on my face, sand under my toes, and the scent of the sea! 

Boa Noite!

Miss Cadie: My California Dreamin' Friend

This is my beautiful friend Cadie and this is her life...



We met in college in intro to sewing... at ol' Purdue University in our home state of Indiana...



We keep in touch via email and Facebook and funny photo messages...
She is my adventure buddy, the one I call when I need to cry, or laugh, or talk about riding the struggle bus (you know we all do it at some point!)...



She is hilarious! Having her there helped me get through many all-nighters in the fashion lab and most recently when I was recovering from a car accident when someone side swiped me, she texted me at least once a day to check on me and encourage me. It really helped me get through a hard time in my life and I am so thankful.

During college we made a (joke) pact that if we didn't make it in fashion we would move to California and become comedians (our jokes would be about failing in the fashion industry)...



But luckily, we both made it (and it's a good thing because I'm better at fashion than I am at making jokes)!

I moved to Ohio and then to Arkansas and she moved out to Cali to live her dream working in the West Coast active sports apparel and accessories business... Her life is glamorous and adventurous and full of fun like the Redbull Flugtag contest at Long Beach...




She gets to wake up every day and see things like this...



and this...



and this...



Even though we both come from this...



And we are living our dreams on opposite sides of the country...



I know I can always count on her to make me laugh or smile when I am feeling down...



Life is always a thumbs up, with Cadie!



Cadie lives a beautiful beachy life in California!



And I am so lucky to have her as a friend!

Also because she did this...


BEFORE Miley did it:

AND she's wearing a cool two-piece thing with CATS ON IT.

:P

That's trend setting, y'all! If you like this and want to see more of her fabulous life, please comment, like, and share so I can convince her that her amazing life is totally Kindred Closets Blog-worthy! 

<3 you Cadie!

Color Inspiration: Sea Blue & White

I found these color boards on Polyvore and fell in love. It's interesting to see what colors are trending on this site. These two boards were created by two different people, and yet they follow a similar color story with a cheerful, youthful, and happy theme.

► ..So just turn your face, until I can't see you anymore. Turn your face until I can't see you anymore. Walk away, until you're not standing at my door. Turn your face, walk away, & stay. Turn your face.. ◄

Summer is for sailing!

Summer is for sailing!

Summer is for sailing! by selenamarie318 featuring studded glasses

I love the look of a pretty sailing dress, anchors, and pretty postcards! It reminds me so much of when I used to live near the beach and could wake up and smell the scent of the ocean out my window. I absolutely love this heavy metal print! It's cute and kitchy and fits me so well (I love metal!). I've never been sailing, but we did go out on a pontoon boat when I was in elementary school and we had so much fun. Dolphins even swam right up next to us! What are your summer plans?
