Voltage site up and running

...and it looks amazing! I'm really enjoying the rotating music selection playing on the site from 2010's Voltage bands, a preview of what's to come!

Kudos to Chris Larson, the Art Director, for this year's vision and to Stephanie Colgan for her amazing Photography!

Here's the main site, Voltage Fashion Amplified, but you can find us under the Fashion/Accessory Designers section.

Our info:


Andrea Pease & Sarah Bein
Accessories Designers

Sparked from the minds of Andrea Pease and Sarah Bein (hence the name), Pea's & Bean's hair adornments are flirty, whimsical and cheer-inducing. The pair's custom creations are the perfect accent to your already magnificent mane. The intent is to induce happiness ... and silliness (and why not?).

Each piece is lovingly crafted by hand and truly unique. The majority of each collection is created with found and vintage items. Needless to say, thrift stores and estate sales have become their fast friends.

In previous seasons the duo has drawn inspiration from embellished birds, rich velvet ribbons and objects that sparkle and shine. This Spring, Pea's & Bean's will be serving up fresh ideas for all to enjoy.

Pics from Jan '10 Voltage Buyer Event

We have scrounged some pictures that were posted to Voltage's Facebook fan page for your viewing pleasure...although, if you were already a fan you would have seen them yourself. Do we have to do all the work? Dang. ;)

Fab photos courtesy of Stacy Schwartz at Staciaann Photography:


Sarah and I pre-event, warming up with some Crispin Cider.



Our very own Alice in Wonderland. All gowns and garments by Christine Carmichael of Carmichael Claith...accessories by yours truly, obvi.

This model also modeled for theLook Book photo shoot this afternoon. Look for her (I would imagine) on the Voltage Fashion Amplified site shortly! She was advised to act like a marionette today for the shoot and props to that as the photos are sufficiently more than satisfactory! I could never do it myself. Beautiful. You'll see...you'll see.



Little top hat.


Christine taking her final walk-through with her model, to the applause of many.



Post event, Sarah and I peddling our goods. Yes, I needed to wear the red headband, asap. Somehow the model made it look better. I suppose that's her job so I will let it go.

See anything you like? We are now available at I Like You in NE...come see for yourself! ;)

P&B

VOTE for Sarah & Kyle!

A: Yes, we are alive (a month later) and kickin'.

B: Voltage Buyer Event on 1/26 at Vision Modeling Agency was a real interesting mix of peeps in the local fashion industry, including people carrying dogs as accessories. Dying to have had my camera, danggit. Picture a Lenny Kravitz type, v-neck sweater with no shirt, oversized dark glasses, fur collar, Pomeranian on forearm. No idea...no idea.
