Styling Work


I would like to share with you Part One of a Four Season shoot I am styling.

We have done half so far, and the other half to be done in a couple of weeks.

This one is summer, mainly beauty shots, this shoot incorporates prop styling more than wardrobe, you may remember me mentioning it here.

This was styled very carefully, and each stone and shell was thoughtfully places. I had a lot of tiny shells and coral which I asked Penny (our fantastic makeup artist) to stick on her face! Which, thank god, she was ok with and did really well.

This gives the crustacean vibe, and such a beachy feel which is classic Summer! The colours of her makeup, hair and the shells all had to coordinate, which I think they did with bronze, orange and beige tones.

Styling: Candice Van Haltren

Funny expression..

but awesome outfit!

I want everything in this picture.

Holiday Food Styling

This post brought to you by Pier 1 Imports. All opinions are 100% mine.


Ahh Christmas season. I was asked to post about this site and after checking it out I was impressed. The Pier 1  website is really visual and has a great photo and / or food stylist on board!


A must have this holiday season (and every holiday season) is the ability to host a dinner parties or entertain your friends. And this season, looks like the best place to get everything in one spot is Pier 1.

I was really impressed by the layout of their site, the huge range of dinnerware & entertaining,...well stuff! (Perfect for holiday gifts as well, if you're still stuck for ideas, everyone can use more glassware and table decorations in the festive season!) Their platters and glasses are lain out and riddled with Christmas food, set out on table and it looks really good.

Food styling isn’t easy, and it’s much more difficult than prop styling as the harsh lights & the heat can have some serious effects on the way the food looks!
Have a look at the photo below;
Doesn’t this look amazing? Makes me want to put on a get together. These mini trifle bowls, and round bowls are something that most people don’t have in their cupboard, but they have so many uses! I love the way this photo has been styled.


The placement of celery in the bowls, a few blue napkins and the placement of spoons and forks in some glasses. These can all give you great ideas for when you next hold a dinner party. The way the cream sits on top of the fruit, and then they’ve added just one or two more pieces on top as well.


Take a look at this visual feast! Stylists have to take in everything that adds elements to a photo. The colour scheme, the table runner and the rug that they have left showing is all on purpose. The way the breadsticks and thinly sliced lemon slices face opposite ways along each row, the centrepiece with flowers, the bottles of wine in the background, even the parts that are blurry have been deliberately placed to give the photo background and depth.


My favourite item is the small bowls and all the glassware! I love the Black and white theme, always classic and element and let the food and drinks add the colour and be the standout. 


I love the stylish nature of all these photos, makes a big difference from the reality, which is cheap cracked old patterned plates lying around in your drawers. 
SO I suggest you get onto a great site like this and let it inspire you to have the most stylish Christmas yet!
P.S. they’re also supporting Toys for Tots and donating $1 from every person who ‘likes’ their facebk page!

Jimmy Choo’s new Crystal collection – how amazing are these pictures? Makes it look like someone’s dancing in champagne.



 Bit of a waste of champagne just quietly but hey, looks awesome!


I love 'bling' shoes, they are the best way to jazz up a really dull outfit. Not only that, but you can wear them with plain colours, and that LBD that starts to look the same.

Calling all Perth Designers!!

Just so you know;


My Latest Purchase;


So I went shopping on the weekend, supposed to be Christmas shopping but that didn’t really happen :S

I bought;
The brown fringe sandals were only $10! And the other ones (which I bought with black buckes / straps were only $14.95) from Rubi shoes, who have a huge sandal sale on right now!

This skirt is not something I would usually get, as Im not a huge lace fan, however the neutral colours and 'dipped' effect caught my eye. I also bought these leggings, which are quite thick and you could easily wear them as pants, with black and silver sequin panels running down each side. Both of these were $9.95

I bought this batwing, button up cardigan, in 2 shades of grey (2 for $30). These are simple, easy to chuck over just a singlet and denim shorts, can go with everything and easily change plain tops. Cardigans like this are great for when you're sick of tee's you've worn and you feel as if you wear the same thing everyday.

 I got this black sleeveless cardigan - not something I would normally pick up but it was only $5! So why not, always buy staple items like this when you see them, it adds to your wardrobe because you can wear it in so many ways, and its not doing any damage to your wallet! 



I also bought 2 dresses online from Manikinn.com - remember me posting about their sale the other day? This hoodie dress is light fabric, not too long, and wearable with skinny jeans or over tights and wedges. Its casual and just a little bit different.

The other dress I got from Manikinn.com was this 'Plastic' look dress (also in grey!) cap sleeves, cowl neck can be belted and changed in so many ways.

I bought this Grecian jumpsuit from ASOS.com as well, so nice! I love jumpsuits but its hard to find ones that suit my figure. Make sure when you buy a jumpsuit - you buy it in the same style that you normally would. i.e. choose an empire line, or one that belts / ties in at the waist or at your hips, depending on what suits you. This was only $40.

I got this plain maxi dress as well in khaki, which pretty much is a blank canvas for accessories.


I also got this leotard, with mesh panels on the side, perfect to wear with so many things, a high waisted skirt, harem pants and more for $15.

I love ankle boots as well and could resist this $25 pair!


I also bought a royal blue maxi skirt and a white tee with a black collar but couldn’t find a picture of either of these :(

So all these items only cost me about $200 in total, when many people would spend that much on one dress! Which is fine of course, but this is the secret to my massive wardrobe.

Chanel!

Here are some really cool behind the scenes pics from the Chanel Pre-fall 2011 collection.


I love the embellishments, looks like this is a trend which is going to stick for a while :)






I find that these show so much more than your end-of-runway shots, not that they're not good or anything. I love behind the scenes pictures, especially as the models personality comes out and you can really picture the atmosphere of the night.
