Lalita is Engaged!

Our very own, Lalita, is ENGAGED! It was a complete surprise to her as we were shooting a "Peplum Promo Video," which she was deeply involved in. Lalita is our "Paperie Queen," as I like to call her. She creates all kinds of paper goods for PEPLUM as well as her own for Lalita Paperie & Designs. She is a very important part of PEPLUM! Lalita is our graphic designer, project manager and designer, and even a florist at times! When her boyfriend [now-fiancé] reached out to me and said "it's about that time!," I screamed with happiness! He wanted it to be captured, so we reached out to our talented friends at Mosa Media and the rest is history! 

Here are some photos I was able to capture on my phone, but I can't wait to show you the video very soon!!!

On Monday, we had the honor of being featured on Engaged & Inspired!

Our inspiration came from the classic black and white theme and we added a sweet touch of honey!

Brink Magazine Shoot

As you know, I was featured in BRINK Magazine's latest issue. They wanted me to share my story and talk about how I got started. Their strive is to empower young entrepreneurs and inspire the minds of those with big dreams! I'm truly honored to have been a part of this issue and when Kyle, the editor, reached out to me about wanting to feature PEPLUM, I immediately knew what I wanted for the photoshoot. He wanted it to be all about me with my own twist to it. So, I reached out to my friend, Alexis of Alexis Ramos Photography and she really delivered!

I wanted to be surrounded by all of my flowers and props, but that faux brick wall was the cherry on top! I loved the concept of having a brick wall in the middle of a field with my touch all around it. It all turned out exactly how I envisioned and I am so thankful to everyone that was involved! Alexis and I felt like it was necessary to share this entire shoot because it really is so lovely....enjoy!
