CUATRO Collaborative
I had the opportunity to collaborate with the most rad babes in town who go by the name of Cuatro Collaborative.
They are four entrepreneurs based in Austin, TX who showcase their creativity in their own individual way...
Tonni Jennings - hair
Brooke Hampton - makeup
Lauren Neal - styling
Sara Marjorie Strick - photography
Just four stylish geniuses who want to create your vision.
So, when insta-friends became real life friends, we automatically bonded over style and decided to collaborate.
I was honored to work alongside these babes and be a part of their vision. It was such a good time, not to mention they are all super tight and let me spill my whole life as if I was at the salon getting a free therapy session.. it was great haha. (LOVE you guys!)
They are beyond talented and I am so excited to see what they will do next. I told them I wanted to call our shoot "cuatro x cinco" because I secretively and not so secretively want to be the poser 5th person in their amazing crew of creativeness.. only dreaming guys don't worry ;)
Find out more about them and their super cool talents..that I wish I had.. on their website!
The LOOK
The clothing from Miranda Bennett's Studio and the jewels from Shop Aro were a dream to wear and style >> next door to each other @ 1223 Rosewood Ave, Austin, TX (moving to a new location soon!)
The Miranda Bennett Studio is a collection of minimalist apparel that is made in-house in the U.S. She is the sweetest human I've ever met. The seasonless garments are all naturally dyed in small batches. Her designs are incredible and the textured silk, gauze and denim fabrications just send every single bone in your body into a calm feeling like your favorite Grecian-minimalist-muse. I don't know if any of that made sense but seriously, check out her site and visit her studio.. I want to live in it. Can I? Just kidding Miranda… (but you are a beautiful designer and I love your timeless pieces) Anything that is versatile and convertible is a yes in my closet.
Miranda shares her studio space with Shop Aro. Aro is an online shop of emerging fashion and independent jewelry designers. The owner, Leslie Hernandez, has an incredible eye for style and pretty handcrafted jewelry. I want everything… EVERYTHING in her store. The Gold Atlas LOVEs gold and all the dainty little gold jewelry had me swooning hard. Totally in love with every unique piece that speaks my indie princess language. I saw the gold choker and almost choked.. it was so perfect.
If you live in Austin.. stop by.. if not.. shop online to see for yourself.
