Sharing some of our most recent shoots with you!





It takes alot of creative ideas and great garments to be able to produce quality shoots with recycled clothing! I am often asked as we are shooting on location, "where can I buy that or how do you get your clothes and ideas?"  This is why I went into partnership with the thrift stores -soon you'll be able to purchase the garments after I shoot them! Being a Thrift Store Champion means I'm always on the look out for a great garment to recycle. These following shots are great example of pulling together several pieces and creating an new feel to them as they are paired with other recycled accessories. Enjoy!

My Chic Boutiques coming soon!

Part of my collaboration with United Cerebral Palsy Thrift Stores in San Diego county will be realized next week. My Chic Thrift will be designing "in store " boutiques that will allow customers the opportunity to buy clothing and accessories that I use in my photo shoots and videos. As we move forward with RVH studios projects, anything you see that you like can be yours if you go to the boutiques. For instance, all the garments you see in these new photos will be for sale next week at the Chula Vista location. All four stores will have My Chic Thrift boutiques that will feature all "ready to wear ' outfits that I have personally styled. I have put together outfits for day wear and evening looks. I have helped the customer by already accessorizing the outfits so all you have to do is check out the boutique and walk out with a great polished look. I selected a range form great vintage leather jackets to the perfect " little black dress"! Please see the list of UCP Thrifts in your neighborhood and tell  them Rosy from MY CHIC THRIFT sent ya!!

How to prep for Photo shoots and clothes pulls

RVH Studios will be supporting our local youth by helping with costumes for a PSA announcement focusing on the perils of smoking. Today, I'll be going to UPC Thrift Store in Chula Vista  to  PULL (select clothing)garments for this video. My Specs (details ) are as follows -I need 1920's garments and accessories to set the stage. All characters will be middle class and have a "working man's" feel as far as wardrobe. I've given myself 3 hours to pull all the looks together and also find props to add  a little extra to the set. The shoot starts today so wish this Thrift Store Champion luck!
