Its all about the details



Glam accessories.  It’s all about the details.  This season boasts an array of accessories for every woman.  All must haves for any age, style and budget.  Need a fresh new look?  Add some whimsy to your wardrobe and update your basic look with carefully placed accessories that are playful and add pops of texture and color.


With accessories taking the spotlight try a leather jacket or vest, short booties, hand painted shoes, versatile woven and fabric bags, or a solitary ornate neck piece.  Following are some accessory ideas for you to play with.  Have fun!

A note about the location:

The dilapidated 130-year-old Warner & Swasey factory located in Cleveland, Ohio that was in full operation during World War II now stands vacant since 1985 and has a strange gritty vitality and air of once known prominence amidst its decaying bowels.  A seemingly morbid location it glistened and sparkled in the day's morning sunlight and had a multitude of possibilities and angles to shoot from, a photographers dream. Using a creative eye I captured a story.  Glamour and fashion amidst the dust and grime.  A new way of looking at something old and forgotten.

I hope you enjoy these photographs of fashion garments and accessories as much as I enjoyed the experience shooting them.  Many thanks to the amazing models, Michelle, Abi and Emma.






The printed fabric bag and shell necklace will add some pizzazz to the ensemble.

A woven bag, chunky choker and stacked Rocket Dog heels add just the right spice to dreamy silver and fur.
