Makeover Mondays ~ {Katelyn} ~ Winnipeg boudoir photography

Things have been a little quiet around here lately, (big apologies!) we are gearing up for the much anticipated wedding show, making some changes to our blog and website and have been meeting up with some local businesses to help get you ready for everything you could possibly need for a your once in a lifetime experience with us!

Here is the start of some of our collaborations. Danielle came to us last December for a Petite session (which she rocked!) and kept us in mind when she, her mother Mona and Katelyn launched Mokada, a custom jewelry design studio. Anything you can dream up, these ladies can create! Be sure to check out their website here  or better yet visit them at their beautifully modern storefront located at 1-530 Waterfront dr. We recently photographed our last Petite session using jewelry from Mokada, and can not wait to use her exquisite pieces again for our upcoming Signature Girl shoot (insert 2 squealing girls here). The items Mona brought in were replicas of her grandmothers vintage collection. (we knew Mokada was a perfect fit from that moment on) So we could gush about them all day or you can just check them out for yourselves.

And now the fun part, we decided who better to feature accessories for Makeover Mondays than Mokada? So representing them will be Katelyn. I (Lizette) will now be blurbing about shoes for Makeover Mondays! Before Katelyn shows off her mad skills, here is what Danielle had to say about her.

“The only thing more exciting than announcing our affiliation with Coco Boudoir is introducing you to Katelyn Daman, our in house jewelry associate and designer. Katelyn has a background in marketing and has recently completed her internship with a renowned modeling agency.  Combining these skills with an unrivalled passion for style and an eye for the latest trends Katelyn is a valuable asset to our team!

Pearls.

An unexpected resurgence of what was “grandma’s” jewelry is taking flight this fall.  What was once considered a classy style for only the affluent has now become a coveted eye catcher for any woman rocking any style.  Be it something borrowed for your wedding, a subtle feminine touch to offset the power suit in the board room, or the accessory to step up an otherwise casual outfit pearls are back and are as pretty as ever!

Karrie Lee’s Lust Haves for Winter Survival

CLINQUE MOISTURE SURGE facial spray & M.A.C cosmetics FIX+ :

for a quick ‘pick me up”, setting your makeup or spraying on more moisture for dehydrated skin.  These sprays got ya covered.

BIOTHERM’S SKIN-ERGETIC facial moisturizer:

 an anti-oxidant rich moisturizer suited for all skin types.  This cream with enlighten your senses and feed your skin with what it needs during the coldest of temperatures. Also available in a “rich” formula.  

ELIZABETH ARDEN’S SKIN PROTECTANT:

 Lanolin and vitamin E blended as a balm in a tube!  Fantastic for lips, cuticles, heals and elbows. Also available in a stick for easy application on the go!  I also put this on the kids’ cheeks before winter outdoor play! 

BIOTHERM’S APRICOT OIL BODY CARE REGIMEN:

available in exfoliant, shower gel, body oil and moisturizer.  An amazing body care regimen for dry winter skin.  Your skin is thirsty! treat it well, start by caring for it in the shower, sluff off that dry layer with the exfoliant.  Follow with the after care.  I especially love this line due to its rich treatment to dehydrated skin and the ability to not feel congested or oily on the skin.

DRINK LOTS OF WATER

This last one is very important, and I can’t stress enough what drinking plenty of water can do for your body, plus it’s FREE! So drink up!
