So I mean it's not a lot to ask for really? I only have the lace shorts and a similar pair of leather shorts out of this WHOLE list. At the top of it is the Jeffery Campbell Lita shoes. Anyone who knows me, knows he's my favourite shoe designer and I already own a pair of his Clinics. I need these so badly, been lusting since they came out! Or atleast a similar chunky pair. I love long maxi dresses, or sheer maxis. I'm really loving that look and I will get as many black ones as poss and just pair with a nude jacket or teal (loving that colour too atmo). I love, love red leather pants even though I hate red, needless to say these are a necessity! Goes great with nude. (Don't think the styling have done them justice) I really love the Winter Kate cardi, even though Miley Cyrus wore it, it's still lush!! The A Wang duffle bag, ahhh the colour! I'm in love with this colour this winter!! I want the Crumpet jumper, I need a waterfall style cosy jumper. Finally, Noir Jewelry is just amazing. Love their designs!! Well anywho, the list goes on and on...but I would loveeee to own at least four of these beauties!!

Spreading the Xmas images...

2010-12-23T15:45:00.000-08:00

Just a few images I've come across and fallen in love with...madly. Some of them are images of wants for this xmas. Is it too late to ask Santa?

Ahh there are so many pics!! I could go on forever, but I'll leave you guys with that!!

Inspiration

2010-11-25T08:33:00.000-08:00

My Canon 7d finally arrived, and after selling my old baby (450d) I've decided to step up a notch with my shoots. I want to achieve really high fashion shots but something with a twist. I have a shoot tomorrow, and before shoots I normally flick through old images on my comp and I came across various images that I've fallen in love with again. Please forgive me for no credits as they've been saved on my comp. If you know the credits, please comment and I'll add them in!

Steven Klein

So there's loads of different things I look for in a good picture, black and white images are always great and look extremely high fashion. I love filters, anything that looks retro or gives that 'worn' feel to it is visually pleasing. I also love a simplicity, like the Erin W shot it's so simple yet effective with the clothing (lack of should I say) and the lighting. That leads me to my favourite part; lighting. A picture with natural light or fake light whatever it be, I love the different effects light can do. Can't wait to test it my new cam! Report back for some images!

Kourtney K-Dash

2010-11-18T11:07:00.000-08:00

I absolutely adore this look. Normally, I hate short tops with waist belts but this works really well thanks to the corset style belt and peplum style top. I'm in love with gothic crosses and these lovely chains make the outfit for sure. I love the all black attire with the gold pairing and the statement leopard shoes.. Thumbs up for this one Kourtney, this image oozes glamour.

Beautifully Made...

2010-10-25T07:01:00.000-07:00

Okay so remember when I said my stylist friend from ASOS had her sale? Well she was wearing this absolutely beautiful maxi dress, possibly the nicest I've seen in a loooong time. It looked like it was designer and extremely well made. Well my friend just messaged me saying she saw it on ASOS, the black version...and I rushed ahead to buy it when I saw it was £95 and way too out of my budget at the moment. (If you know me, I rarely buy clothes that expensive!!) But one can still stare, dream and lust right? Here it is...

Ahh the beauty...the one my friend was wearing was grey and was as beautiful...!!

Lovely New Things - Regal Rose

2010-10-15T04:22:00.000-07:00

So an update on the newest addition to my jewelry collection! I came across this beautiful brand run by two lovely ladies on ebay - Regal Rose. I fell in love with their stuff, I'm not a huge fan of dainty jewelry but this collection is amazing! It's edgy with quirky designs and such reasonable prices. They are even doing the infamous body armor which normally is £70+ but you can get the same style for only £34.99! I was really surprised that their stuff was so reasonable considering the quality as well! I bought these two lovely items from them...

comes in silver and gold!

I loved the femininity of the skull chain, you can also wear it with another thick chain if you don't like small chains!

And the amazing girls sent me this one as well!! I love this one it's so dope and different, that's what I love about Regal Rose' collection! There's something for everyone guaranteed! Check it out here!! (and their ebay store has loads more - here)

Sucker for....

2010-10-06T15:17:00.000-07:00

I had to dedicate this post to the cutest/goriest ring. It's lush and I want the necklace and earrings to match...

The ring is gorgeous!

you can actually put these in your mouth!

This one kills me!! Loveeee

(via Verameat)

Isn't it beautiful? Ok so yes I'm crazy in love with anything related to vampires but none of that Twilightness, I love the True Blood gory stuff! The realllll stuff! But check out their ish, it's totally different and looks like great quality! I'd definitely get some of their ish with my next pay check!

Collectibles Obsessions: Two/Three Finger Rings

2010-10-06T15:08:00.000-07:00

Apart from watches, I am starting a collection of knuckle dusters! I got my first one aaaaaagessss ago and then they were out everywhere which was ofcourse perfect so I can start my collection. Here are a few that I would love in my ring box asap!

(via Trenddelacreme

& Google)

I love all of them, it's a shame they are way out of my budget for rings!! Although the vampire one does tickle my fancy, Verameat jewelry is just so beautiful. I have a couple to keep me going for now, while I save $120 for the vampire one....sheeesh!

London Fashion Week

2010-10-05T16:11:00.000-07:00

So finally here are the pictures from backstage at LFW at Hermione De Paula show. I was lucky enough to assist stylist, Agata Belcen from An0ther Magazine and help out at the amazing show. Hermione is so talented, and her gracious feminine yet edgy designs were a great hit!!

Nicholas Kirkwood

The model I dressed - Bronte @ Elite

Hermione De Paula

And finally my outfit:

shirt: asos

belt: moschino vintage

shorts: DIY from topshop jeans

I had such a great time at the show, it was totally chaos backstage and very much like The Hills but was well worth it!

LFW - Backstage Hermione De Paula

I'm really sorry about the delay with images, but for some reason blogspot are being rather slow with uploading them. So I will update it tonight when I have a bit more time. But for now here's the final outcome of the show.

Fashion's Night Out

2010-09-14T09:33:00.000-07:00

It's been a couple of days I know I'm sorry, but been slightly busy but I've finally got the pictures up! I took a series of pics of people on the street that I found interesting but silly me decided not to charge my camera and didn't get that many street style ones. Anywho, here's a few from the night, which can I just say was an amazing night! I really had fun with my girls roaming around different shops enjoying the mingling! Such a good event...

my look for the night

Marie Helvin

Street Style

The details of each of these outfits were incredible. Loveeeed the skulls.

Loved this look. Chilled and cute. As you know I love top button up with the varsity jacket.

Bluey Robinson

Ahh the highlight of my night, yessss I met Alice Dellal and it was amazing. If you know, you'll know she's one of my favourite models and I've always wanted to work with her. So I reminded her it may happen one day.

Street Style

Cute looks. Glam and laid back!! Perfect. Hair is wowza.

This guy was great, he designs his own shirts at the site he's holding and they're fab.

My look by the end of the evening!

love this pic

Really liked this look, it was chic with an edge. Everything she's wearing are my fav trends; Wedges, leather jacket, shirts and crosses. Oh and of course tapered trousers. Totally mastered the look.

(pictures by me)

Gillian Zinser - Ivy from 90210

2010-09-14T08:03:00.000-07:00

So firstly 90210 season 3 is finally here, and just when I thought it was getting rather ridiculous with the slightly typical storylines, it just gets better. I reckon the direction of the first episode was really good, there's something dark about it that I love (I think the excessive vampire love is getting to me). While the plot thickens, Ivy who's fairly new to the cast, plays the laid back 'surfer chick' and Dickson's girlfriend. She's definitely my favourite character at the moment, I love her looks and I think Silver has a bit of competition! Here are some images from various events of her looks.

Totally love her.

Dearest Sun

2010-09-02T17:00:00.000-07:00

Me and my beautiful 'should be a model friend' were slightly bored today and it was a nice day out so I grabbed my cam and went to shoot! We literally went outside to the side road and took these...I like how they came out quite over composed...I really love natural light...it's my best friend! Anywho hope you like...(click on them to make larger)

The last is of us just messing on self timer...it was a fun little shoot...nothing too serious! got some nice pics!

Photos, styling, editing by me...

Furry little things...

2010-08-31T04:43:00.000-07:00

Okay, so the Aviator jacket seems to be the big trend this AW and following that the furred boots have been too...well this is a old image of me wearing my furred lace up boots, which honestly I had no idea would ever be a fashion trend. I just loved the look of them and scooped em up off ebay. I rarely wore them with the collar down when I would go out in evenings but during the day it's a great wintery look. I can't believe a year later, they're the next big thing. I actually forgot bout these, and remember telling my friend I wasn't too keen on the furred boots. I do think mine are slightly different, but it's a funny thing Fashion. You never know what's gonna pop up!! Well now it just looks as if I jumped on the bandwagon..lol. *Sigh*

ahh my hair is so short here :$

Well at least I got good use out of them.

Lace Em Up..

2010-08-30T06:09:00.000-07:00

(via Leflash.com)

Lace has been around for an extremely long time now and when it first came out I was a bit undecided on it, personally I thought the lace dresses were just too common and everyone had one! But there's something about lace that looks extremely elegant, providing it's the right style. This shirt that LeFlash is wearing is absolutely gorgeous, the picture above her is of a shirt from a store she posted. It's possibly the most beautiful shirt I have ever laid eyes on. I do love really thick printed lace, it's much better than the typical flower print lace as such:

It does look good on girls, but just something about it screams WAG now...I'm all for a bit of lace just as long as it doesn't look typical or trashy.

I really like the neck on this one, and even if I personally wouldn't wear it..i love the subtlety of lace.

Skulls

2010-08-24T14:24:00.000-07:00

So here we are with another look. This was a dinner/get together for my friend's birthday and as it was a rainy day didn't really feel like overly dressing up. The top is a beautiful mesh baggy tee I picked up from the stylist's sale I mentioned in the earlier post, which I paired along with these harems. I reckon baggy tee and a pair of baggy trousers/shorts go so well, and people think it doesn't compliment the figure, but it actually helps it if your not too keen on showing your stomach or legs. I wore coloured pumps to add a bit of zest to it...aren't they just the prettiest colour ever though?

top: stylists sale

harems: h&m

pumps: new look (yes for real!)

Street Style

2010-08-17T10:10:00.000-07:00

So myself and Tia went to a sale which a friend of mine who's a stylist at Asos was holding to get rid of her stuff as she's moving to Asia (wowza) and I just had to snap up Tia's street style! I love the laid back look (it was a Sunday so perfect for the day). The denim jacket just adds a cute edge to it and I love the pants! I'm a sucker for baggy tee's and tapered trousers so this got me going right :) She's also a beautiful model who just takes my breath away with her images!!

She's great right? Her name's Tia Ward, contact me if you want to work with her and I will pass on your details.

Photoshoot - Amanda

2010-08-17T10:03:00.000-07:00

click on image to view larger

So I did a series of shots with this amazing model, her name's Amanda and she's totally insane! The way she just changes from her casual everyday look to this fantastic model is beyond me!! I guess that's how you know she's truly a fab model. I really enjoyed the shoot, I got excited at every amazing shot we took. I tried the really pretty look with the white maxi and then went into dark with the black lace. The one behind the window was meant to be a bit diverse and tried to capture a moment of voyeurism almost. But I think I was pleased with the outcome, and would love to work with her again. Make up might I add was absolutely on point. Styling was done by myself, which again I was pretty pleased with.

For the launch of my new blog, I'll be giving away something realllllll soooon!! Just deciding what it is....so keep tuned!! xxx

Blow Me Away...

2010-08-10T11:34:00.000-07:00

So I wasn't so sure whether to put this look up, but only because I didn't like the way the pics turned out. However, I kinda liked this look so here goes. This was on Santa Monica Pier when I went to LA this summer and it was amazing, rather chilly so I had to keep the denim jacket on!! The white thing was designed by moi..and I got my friend to sew it for me as I'm not really great at that, was happy with the way it turned out! You can wear it as a maxi too if you belt it. Will post a look soon. If you would like to purchase the white vest, message me!!

denim jacket - vintage - La Brea market

shredded jeans - Religion

white long see through vest - my own design

leopard swimsuit - Asda (oh yeah!)

bag - Marc Jacobs

sandals - Faith

Chain Me Up..

(Via FashionToast)

So I bought myself one of these harnesses and I have to say after thinking that they were just over the top necklaces, they really are a good way of dressing up an outfit. As I'm all about the bling, body chains are really growing on me, I quite like the arm one, but I just don't know if they are practical? What does everyone think? My one's similar to the last image, will post soon.

See Through Me...

2010-08-09T12:44:00.000-07:00

I absolutely LOVE this look. Everything about it is so right. Firstly the see through shirt is beautiful, I've been trying to find one with this kind of opacity, although I think it looks a lot better on girls who are flat chested, however she's pulled it off by having the skirt quite high up so it doesn't look as if they're in your face! The skirt is perfect, the style and material really compliment the shirt. I love the belt and shoes. It's just simple but yet so effective and different. I'm a jewelry person, but this doesn't seem to need much!! I may have added a small gold necklace hiding under the collar!

Shred Me

2010-07-17T07:34:00.001-07:00

I want want WANT this shirt so bad...could be easily DIY'd though. I love the material and the way it's longer at the back. Definitely keeping with the trends.

Fav Look

2010-07-17T07:27:00.000-07:00

I simply adore these looks, they are so playful and elegant at the same time. I'm quite a rough dresser, but I still love Alexa's look. The socks and the double denim really add a edgy look to the outfit. Love Pixie's boots too...

Alexander Wang

2010-07-06T02:48:00.000-07:00

He's just full of great ideas, and I simply love him. I would definitely buy his whole collection if I had the money *sigh*

My favourite at the moment:

I got a snazzy pair just like these in black from LA for $5 so they are available for a less price...however they just won't do as the Wang originals are honestly so beautiful....

desserting

2010-05-10T04:02:00.001-07:00

I reallllllly want to do a shoot on the dessert, like that would be some damn amazzzzing images!

2010-05-09T17:57:00.000-07:00

Please bare with me whilst I get my layout and everything sorted, you won't have to stare at my mug any longer, I'm just trying to think of a better picture and get rid of this one!

2010-05-09T17:46:00.001-07:00

A shot from today's shoot. The models were great and even though there were some lighting issues, they turned out pretty cool.

I have a thing about not editing pictures, I think unedited just look so natural and beautiful. I think a lot of my images don't even need a lot which is a good thing! However, we all know the world of fashion magazines are edited but they do look fabulous nonetheless!!

2010-05-09T17:41:00.000-07:00

For my birthday, my boyfriend gave me the best present ever! These amazing Jeffery Campbell's that are all over the blog world, I know but I adore them and after months of lusting after them! I have!! :)

My First Post

2010-05-03T00:44:00.001-07:00

Hello!! So I thought I'd set up a blogspot after having tumblr for a couple of months just because I wanted to keep something separate to show my looks and have more updates about my work also some inspiring images. If you haven't been on my tumblr, then here's a little bio about me.

I'm a photographer/stylist, I conduct my own shoots and I normally am the art director and stylist for the shoot unless I am hired separately. My favourite photographers include, Guy Aroch, Nick Knight and David LaChapelle. I have had an internship with ASOS.com and learnt a lot about how things work behind the scene. I really hope to get my foot in the door with more internships after graduating (this July, hooray!). I will post shoots that I have conducted, and behind the scene pics for you all to see!! I hope you guys enjoy my blog!

My photography website will be up very soon, it's still under construction. In the mean time have a look at my tumblr
