Eloquent Woman Magazine Party in Pasadena, CA
Wearing: Vintage dress, Charles David booties, Forever 21 hat, & Target sunglasses! :)

Forever 21 hat bought on sale for only $5!

Alex and I before the Party for Eloquent Woman Magazine’s Launch of the second issue.

This outfit made me feel like the chic Fashion Editor I know I am. :) Sometimes it’s hard to be a start up company, like we are at Eloquent Woman Magazine; but when all’s said and done and we have our product out on the table with people coming to celebrate our creation and success, it feels great! Working a day job, having a personal venture, and then building a start-up magazine with a team isn’t easy folks, but we press forward knowing there’s strength in numbers.

The outfit that I wore to our party in Pasadena was a vintage find from De Ja Vu Fashions in Claremont. The dress is vintage, not sure of the label it’s pretty worn, the shoes are vintage Charles David lace up oxford booties with pointed toes, my boyfriend’s grandmother’s clumped pearl and gold clip on earrings, and the big floppy felt 70′s inspired hat was bought at Forever 21 (such a steal)! I spent under $20 for this look by attending the De Ja Vu Fashions BAG SALE. You show up early in the morning to scour through bins of vintage treasures (bags, shoes, garments, accessories…everything!) out on the patio and you fill a paper grocery bag with all you can fit in for only $20! I scored the dress, the Charles David shoes, a pair of heels by Guess, and a couple of other fun garments as well…all for only $20. If I do the math it probably cost me around $3/item – now that’s an amazing deal! Thank you De Ja Vu Fashions!

In June we published out second issue of Eloquent Woman Magazine featuring one piece swimwear and the power of the versatile white blouse, as shot by yours truly. See some of my favorite photos from the shoots here:

Elaine & Amelia were such a blast to work with – love you ladies!

Kerstin Lechner, as seen on Project Runway Season 10, modeled for our black and white editorial featuring the versatile white blouse. Even more beautiful in person! (MY FAVORITE SHOT!)

What a great lacy tank by WISH as modeled by Kerstin Lechner for our Summer Issue in studio in downtown LA!

Eloquent Woman Magazine Summer 2012
- Cover shot by Kate Heimann (me!) -

Issue # 2 of Eloquent Woman Magazine has been published! :) I am so excited to showcase my photography and styling in our FREE ONLINE MAGAZINE! Not only was I able to coordinate and style both inside fashion spreads, but I also had the honor of shooting our cover with the ever gorgeous Elaine Hayhurst! Inside you will find compelling articles like how one woman shaved her head in hopes of finding her true beauty by “Getting Rid of her Beauty Crutch”, and how Amanda Joss shifted her dream from being a musician to working with a non profit from the ground up to stop local sex trafficking in the article “Why I Laid Down My Music” , and of course pages and pages of fashion! Be sure to check out my personal favorite piece I was able to shoot and style: “How To Work the White Blouse”. In the white blouse piece I decided to focus on how to use the basics that every woman should own and how it can be so versatile. Being one of the foundations of my personal wardrobe, I decided to style multiple styles of this basic – v-neck tee’s CAN be professional if styled right, tissue sweaters are perfect for any weather, and of course the trending lace tank styled for work wear. I hope you all will enjoy our second issue in which I was able to lead as the Fashion Editor, lead photographer, and main stylist because I certainly had tons of fun creating with our amazing Eloquent Woman team! :)

Editor in Chief, Shannon Lee, & myself in studio working on “Working the White Blouse” in LA.

Gisele Bundchen’s “Sexy Professional” Look Recreated

Alex & I at La Lumiere Fashion Show in Redding, CA for Eloquent Woman Magazine

Taking a mini-roadtrip with some of the most beautiful and hard working women I know, recreating Gisele Bundchen’s “sexy professional” look from The Devil Wears Prada, AND being named Fashion Editor of Eloquent Woman Magazine…….can you say Dream Job come true?! Ahhhhhhh I am overjoyed/ high on life/ so happy/ estatic – no, I am blessed, honored, and grateful.

Truly, this weekend has been one of the most inspiring, uplifting, and exciting to date! Hanging out with Alex, a previous roommate of mine, a great friend, and also our Magazine Designer, was such a blast! We were able to reconnect in a way that only 10 hours in a car ride can do – haha! But really, Alex and I had a lot of fun together and I felt like I was finally getting back to being a more fun self again. To be honest, these last couple of months personally haven’t been the easiest – professionally they’ve been steady and growing…and now they’ve come to a peak of greatness! I’m happy to have this weekend be a point of turnaround for the more personal parts of myself now that professionally I have accomplished a huge goal for myself.

Spending Sunday morning doing a photoshoot for our Fall 2012 issue with Jackie & Malia in a gorgeous park and then attending Bill Johnson’s service at Bethel Church has go to be some of the most happiest moments of the whole trip. Although our stay was short and our drive was long (literally 20 hours round trip!) we accomplished so much on this trip! Not only were we in a perpetual meeting of 48 hours being constantly together in the same car and such, but we were able to creatively decide almost all of the last details of the second issue we are about to publish in June. Being together for such a long time and being able to so easily flip flop between laughing about how ridiculous we all looked when falling asleep in the car and then back to picking out the right photos for the editorial piece was really a great testament to our amount of greatness in our team.

4:30am we leave Los Angeles, we arrive at our hotel in Redding by 3:30pm and have just an hour after getting settled before we have to arrive at the venue. Within one hour our team of vagabond road trippers transformed into gorgeous fashionistas ready to represent Eloquent Woman with all that they are. I realized it only after I had looked in the mirror as I was putting on my glasses before walking out of the hotel room…with the high bun, black dress, fair complexion, and of course the glasses I had created a very Gisele Bundchen look. The Devil Wears Prada is definitely one of my favorite movies – I mean you have fantastically gorgeous Anne Hathaway, playing a hard working girl just like the rest of us, have a fairy tale dream job fall upon her – what more is there to love?! Check out some of my favorite stills from the movie of Gisele’s look:

Seeing my work in our 1st issue laid out on the table coupled with a poster sized Teaser for our Summer issue and postcards of the teaser was just so exciting!

Gisele working the “Sexy Professional” look!

Jackie and I getting excited for the show! “Girls in Pearls”

I think the glasses really do add the perfect amount of accessorizing.

So happy to be working closely with Shannon to build this incredible magazine!

Often inspired by vintage, I was privileged to do a recent photo shoot for Eloquent Woman Magazine with vintage inspired styling. Here’s a couple of head shots from the shoot. After publication of the full spread in November I’ll post a couple more – in the mean time, enjoy these lovelies!
