Paloma Contreras does it again…
I finally had the opportunity to really sift through the July/August 2011 issue of High Gloss, and I am blown away with the amount of truly talented creative professionals squeezed into 82 spreads. Between Domicile ID, Melissa Warner of Massucco Warner Miller, Bri Morris, Amber Lewis, Emily Ruddo, Kristen Buckingham, and of course BFF (“blog friend forever” duh) Megan Biram of MIMI+MEG, I am definitely feeling unworthy of being in such company! But it was such a wonderful experience working with Paloma Contreras (how can she be pretty, talented, and SO nice? No fair!).
These are some of the images from the issue that are still speaking to me (and will no doubt stay with me for some time), probably because they involve a few of my favorite themes:

And in case you missed it, here is my feature on the shower and nursery for my dear friend and her bébé (pages 48-49):
Thank you all for inspiring me to keep plugging away and continue to grow each day in so many ways!
Ahh congratulations ! I saw your post about it before but you are amazing and the room is so fabulous !! I (of course) love all the dark gray and yellow and I love the display in the fourth photo!

Agree with Elizabeth. Your spread was my favorite! And I love that photo of you!
Thank you so much for the kind words and the wonderful post, Erika! We are thrilled to be able to share your gorgeous project with our readers. You were such a joy to work with! I hope we can collaborate again in the future.
Thanks so much! You summed it up pretty perfect. It was an honor to be in the mag with so many beautiful and talented ladies.

Oo quickly heading over to check it out. I need some yellow in my life!
Ugh, I’m behind on all my magazine reading…. can’t wait to catch up over the long weekend. I LOVE the attention to detail in that first pic with the yellow sofa…. it’s amazing what an impact like adding a print inside of a pleat on the skirt will do!
