a peek behind-the-scenes
EDITION TWENTY-EIGHT
Welcome to INSIDE THE DRESS UP CLOSET
Last week, I shared one of my favorite editorials yet — The Garden Party — a dreamy celebration of spring, storytelling, and magic. It was so much fun to see the vision come to life, and I’ve loved hearing your reactions to the characters and styled moments we created.
In case you missed it, The Garden Party collection is available to shop through checkthetagvintage! If you spotted a piece you love, you can DM Marilyn on Instagram (@checkthetagvintage) to inquire about the items. There are still some treasures waiting to find their next home!

One of my absolute favorite parts of creating the Garden Party editorial was diving into the creative process INSIDE THE DRESS UP CLOSET. Styling all the spring characters surrounded by racks of treasures (pulled from Check The Tag Vintage), piles of tulle, florals, and accessories felt like pure magic.
This is the part I love most — when ideas start to take shape and each character begins to come to life. I snapped a few behind-the-scenes photos of the fully styled looks amidst the chaos of the closet — at little glimpse into the creative process.
One of my favorite parts of bringing the spring characters to life for the Garden Party editorial was teaming up with Glamsquad to create the perfect beauty looks for the day. I wanted the makeup to feel fresh, whimsical, and a little bit magical. The Glamsquad team completely understood the vision and helped make it a reality.
