While my husband and I were in Hawaii last month for our best friends wedding, I teamed up with a local photographer, Rianon Stephens Photography, to shoot some photos of the ARAE Spring/Summer 2016 collection along with Clutch Jewelry. I only have two photos so far, but I couldn’t wait any longer to share them with you. Below is a photo of the shoot location at Waimanalo Beach in Oahu, Hawaii.

IMG_5688A little about the photographer… Rianon Stephens of Rianon Stephens Photography found her passion after purchasing a DSLR and shooting some photos of a friend for fun. After realizing how fun it was playing around with her new camera and the response she received from sharing the photos on social media, she decided to invest her time into learning the trade and starting her own business. I’m so glad she did because she is truly talented. She has a way of taking in all of the elements and creating a very special image. On her website there are photos from maternity shoots to wedding photos and everything in between. From the fashion photography that she did with me, I was able to see her creativity really shine through. If you’re in Oahu or traveling to Hawaii, you have to reach out to Rianon. Nothing beats the scenery.

IMG_9840A little about the apparel designer… Rachael Levine from ARAE is the 2015 Evening Wear Emerging Designer of the Year from Phoenix Fashion Week. I fell in love with her work after seeing it at a couple of the Phoenix Fashion Week events, which you’ve probably read about here and here (keep an eye out for the event again next fall.) Most recently, she’s teamed up with FreePeople.com to sell pieces from her Autumn/Winter 2015 collection (which is so amazing!) You can find the Long Fingerless Gloves in Desert and Indigo here. If you’re interested in more items from the collection, head to the ARAE website and use FOXY20 for 20% off at check-out on all Autumn/Winter items.

The items photographed in Hawaii are from the Spring/Summer ’16 collection and are currently available for pre-order on the website. The dress I’m wearing in my sneak peak photo is the split seam Chloe midi dress in shibori (also comes in black.) The top shown below is the Margo block tee in shiboria (also comes in black.)

DSC_3075DSC_3116A little about the jewelry designer… Stacy Eden is the Creative Director and CEO of Clutch Jewelry, Clutch Crowns and Accessories. It’s pretty amazing the items that she is able to dream up and create into 3D wearable art. The jewelry, crowns and accessories are items that you’ve never seen before. Each piece carries it’s own story and transforms an outfit or look. Everything Stacy makes is so special. It was so fun to put these looks together with ARAE and Clutch. What’s even cooler, is that Stacy is extending a 25% off discount to my friends and family by using the code, CLUTCHKAT, at check-out. Take advantage of the savings for gifts and special occasions that are coming up (you know I am!) In the two-piece outfit, I’m wearing the Madrid Choker Necklace (follow the link to order online.) Similar belts can also be worn as a crown or caplet in some styles. Here are my favorites: Watchtower Tassel Belt, Paix Waist Cincher Belt/ Collar Caplet, Hera Crown/ Belt, and Joan Crown/ Belt.
