Style with Awkward Stage

Written by Chris on 30 August 2010

Awkward Stage is a concept shop located on Barrie’s waterfront, on Lakeshore Mews. Featuring independent Canadian made clothing, accessories, jewellery & gifts plus a contemporary art gallery, Awkward Stage has a mandate to show off beautiful things made close to home. A visit to this store, owned by local Alana Sproule, will leave you in no doubt that the arts and culture is very much alive and thriving in Barrie. If you’re looking for that special item of clothing or accessory that you wont find in any other store in town, maybe its time you checked out awkward stage. If it doesnt fit right away, Alana can help with a little nip and tuck. Check them out on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=202634&id=19390209593&saved#!/stayawkward?v=wall&ref=ts We also had the added pleasure of hatwear provided by Meagan Armstrong of Le Petite Chapeau, which is right next door to Awkward Stage. If you have a special event or occasion coming up and you need a hat, check out the hat lady, many many different styles, I’m sure you’ll find something to suit.

Last evening, Meagan (Astrum Studios) and I were guests of Alana’s for a photoshoot. Caitlin Martin did a stellar job with hair and make up creating truly unique looks for each of the models that we had. Meagan and I had visited the store recently and fell in love with the awesome green wall in Alana’s art gallery. As artwork changes regularly, we timed our shoot in between gallery showings. Here’s a few teasers from the shoot……click on a photo to view larger size

From the beach and more

Written by Chris on 29 July 2010

Ontario is blessed to have several fine beaches which many of us frequent during these hot summer months. The big one, in Ontario terms, is Wasaga Beach on Georgian Bay. It’s miles of golden sand are generally full once school is out and, because it’s the busy one, it has the amenities to go with it. However if one looks hard enough, there are many smaller beaches along the lake shoreline which are hidden little gems. I had the pleasure of being amongst good friends yesterday evening at one of these little hidden gems….incredibly the beach was quiet….so four photographers and five models enjoyed having a lot of beach space to share. Later in the evening, spending time with a good friend of mine Meagan, (www.astrumstudios.com) was the perfect end to an enjoyable evening. Click on any image to view larger size (recommended)
