Spring has slowly but surely made its way here to Connecticut, and with a new season comes the need for new fashion looks to stay stylish for the changing weather. With that in mind, I am so excited to share the images from this photoshoot for the Vintanthro Modern & Vintage Spring 2021 lookbook!

Melissa and Victoria at Vintanthro styled four amazing spring looks with bold colors and fun patterns, incorporating stylish layers fitting for the difficult transition here in New England from winter to spring. From furs to flowing skirts, silks to scarves, this lookbook has it all. I’m so honored that I had the pleasure of photographing such beautiful pieces from their shop, and it was truly a dream come true to work with such a talented team.

We shot these images by the beach in Milford, Connecticut on a day when the weather was hovering around 45 degrees with brutal wind, but you would never be able to tell thanks to our incredible models (special shout out to blankets and handwarmers, too). We explored nature, walked the boardwalk, and admired the ocean while blasting a vintage-inspired playlist to match the vibes characteristic of Vintathro’s style. It was so amazing to see our plan for this shoot come to life!

There’s even an incredible video to accompany the photos we shot, which you can view here.

Find the featured clothing items and accessories and even more amazing vintage-inspired pieces in store at Vintanthro, located at 895 Whalley Ave in New Haven, CT. And check out Vintanthro’s Instagram on Friday, April 2nd at 5pm for a virtual art opening with featured prints from the lookbook!
