Last fall, my dear friend Kate Franco (www.undeniablestyle.com) flew up from San Fran with the talented Dara Wilson, and we did a photo shoot with photographer extraordinaire, Chris Holloman (www.katipocreative.com). Amanda Berry did makeup and models included Kate, Dara, Amanda, Katie Schaller, Chelsea Miller, Tim Snider & me. Chris and I spent many hours picking out shots and putting them together in a lookbook...think a mini Anthropologie catalog Nest-style! It was so much fun and a great learning process to boot! Now, it's finally time for the lookbook to come out and be seen by the world!!! 1,000 copies will be printed and distributed throughout town, and it will also be available digitally on my website (another coming soon project), and linked to as many social media outlets as I can figure out how to navigate!
Here's a few shots to give you an idea...
I'll be posting more--hopefully a few every day until the lookbook is released, so "follow" and "like" us and all that other jazz...
IMPORTANT: I'm also including an insert in the lookbook with advertisements for entrepreneurial friends of mine. Us small local businesses have to stick together! If you or someone you know is interested, the following blurb is all the information about it:
The Nest is moving! To celebrate, we are finally launching our LOOKBOOK to coincide with our fashion show grand opening. We would be delighted if you would like to advertise with us. We strongly believe in networking with small businesses in our community, and we would like to extend the invitation to you, our fellow small biz friends, to grab an ad space in the hopes that we can all help each other expand our customer bases.
What is this lookbook you speak of?
If y’all have been in my store lately, you know that it can sometimes be sensory overload. I wanted to put together an artistic project that would help people get an idea of the types of things that I carry in my store as well as how to incorporate them into their homes and/or wardrobes. With the help of some very talented friends, I put together a lookbook that showcases what my store is all about! Think The Nest meets a smaller version of an Anthropologie catalog...
How much does it cost & what do I get?
We are offering quarter page ads that you are free to put your business card, coupon or whatever you want in it for $50 per space! You are welcome to purchase as many spaces as you feel like. If you need ad design, graphic artist extraordinaire Chris Holloman (www.katipocreative.com) would be happy to do it for you. Prices start at $25 for basic ad design.
I will be printing out 1,000 of these lookbooks to distribute at my grand opening as well as at a large number of local businesses. The lookbook will also be available digitally on my website, www.thenestreno.com, and on Facebook. Your business will get shout outs on both. In addition, I have a very good group of loyal customers who really value supporting as many people in our community as possible, so letting them know that we are a tight group of highly recommended businesses will guarantee their support of your business.
What are the ad specifications?
We ask that your ad be in .jpeg or .pdf file format and measure 3.75” wide x 2.75” tall, though all readable content must be within 3.5” x 2.5”. (That is, 3.5” wide x 2.5” tall ad with a .25” bleed.) The lookbook will be distributed at the grand opening of the new Nest, which we hope will be sometime in the beginning of August. If you are interested, please let me know ASAP but by July 15th at the latest so that we can put it all together.

Love,
