Autumn Photo Shoot

Today was the photo-shoot for the Autumn Collection for the magazine submission. The day started off really misty and we were really worried about the outcome for the shoot but luckily the weather cleared up and we were able to take some amazing photographs. We were really organised so the shoot ran smoothly and we finished up early! Here are the behind the scenes from the shoot that me and Naomi Farmer styled for. Hope you like them!
I collected a lot of clothing for the Autumn issue, mixing current high-street trends in with vintage pieces. Me and Naomi decided to put together a selection of looks each. My main looks were a short and shirt combo with knee high socks and fur hat, tailored trousers with shirt and laced boots with fur coat and checked scarf, the final look was a cream lace dress, with pink cardigan, pink lace leggings, grey knee high socks and laced boots with a straw hat.

Lydia Pankhurst did the make-up for the shoot, I've worked with her previously with my 80s vs 18th Century shoot and also with a bird re-take shoot. I think she is an amazing make-up artist and defiantly one to watch!

Final edited photo's will be up soon for us all to enjoy! Really looking forward to seeing these!

Dior Couture

I have fallen in love with the recent Christian Dior collection by John Galliano. Inspired by flowers you can clearly see the linkage with the patterns, colours and in particular the shapes. I'm also loving the usage of the plastic headpieces and skirting which resembles the cellophane wrap on bouquets.
Although the flower inspiration is so obvious, it still reminds me of wrapped sweets...anyone for a Quality Street?

My up's and down's imagery!

Hello my fellow blogging fans, I am so sorry for the lack of post's recently! All I can say is that my life has had a lot of changes during the past month...and what a crazy one its been!

I ended my 2nd year with a high 2.1 which I'm very pleased about as 25% of it goes towards my final graduating grade!

I also ended my 2 and half year relationship with my boyfriend. Sometimes things need to end. Unfortunately that left me living out of boxes back at the parents house and hence no time for blogging.

However, after a week of self destruction...nights out of heavy partying which left me seeing sunrise pretty much every day, I am defiantly back to my old self! Sometimes a week of selfish attitude can do wonders for that guilty feeling...break ups are not easy pie especially when your the one doing the breaking up!

Anyway I usually don't post my dirty laundry up on here but this time I felt it needed to be blogged about as my collection of imagery from the past month has defiantly left some impact. I see a future project coming on...enjoy!
