River-Side Photographic Adventure

I recently acquired a delightful mint green and pink play-suit from a great little store in the valley called Trash Monkey. My lovely friend Kaija and I used it as the inspiration for this shoot we did down by the river in West End. Goodness only knows what the joggers and bike riders would have thought of us cavorting around like fools. We had a lot of fun though, so who cares?

Styling myself for this shoot was a novel experience, I've gotten so used to doing the hair and makeup of others. Being in front of the camera was also a novel experience, Kaija did a great job of making me feel comfortable and i think we cam away with some great shots. What do you think?
Have a great day,

A Big Ol' Bow

I have a slight obsession with hair bows. I don't know what it is, but they just make me smile. I recently styled this lovely lady, and based the whole look around a giant hair bow that I am simply in love with.

The inspiration for the look was part doll, part harajuku girl, I wanted to express these looks in a more wearable way. Llenore was such a sport, we had a fun time and here are the pictures!

Tell me what you think, and have a lovely day!

Kaija's Make Over and a Photographic Adventure

My lovely friend Kaija and I are going on a photographic adventure today! She is a budding photographer with a great eye. Quite some time ago she asked me if she could take some photos of me. I've just spent the morning going through my prop-box collecting together all my ears and tails, bows and bracers and sparkly little numbers. I just finished doing my hair and makeup, it feels a little odd to be sitting at my computer in false eyelashes!

I'm pretty excited 'cause I love an excuse to get dressed up in fancy costumes. I'll be sure to put up some photos we get today, but in the mean time I'll share some photos of Kaija from a make over I did for her. I wont be sharing the before photos, but trust me she looks much nicer after! I'd love to know what you think, and if you really like it you can get the look via my Polyvore spread (which is so fun to play with by the way, oh, follow me!!)

Have a great day!
