PHOTO SHOOT STYLING

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of helping a friend style a photo shoot for her final Honours assessment at QUT.
Shot in natural light with the talent of Nicola Poole behind the lens and the bubbly Gaelen in front, the morning went by quickly without a hitch (but with plenty of tasty breakfast snacks!)
It was nice to work with all the girls including make-up artist Shelley Veitch and I think the shots turned out just as planned...
Here are a couple of images I snapped mid-shoot for you all to get a taste of Miss Emma Price's amazing eye for detail in her pieces .

Aren't they beautiful? For more of Emma's work check out her range Booje stocked in The Tribune on Arthur Street, The Valley. (I will post up some of the final photographs soon)

LOOK OF THE DAY : JASON WU S11TRW

In love with that giant bow

PHOTO OF THE DAY : RAIN AND THE CITY

I don't think its stopped raining here since last night. There was even a mini flood to dodge at my front door this morning...but I love the rain, it always turns the world slightly upside down.

I HEART ART : IGOR + ANDRE VIDEO

I have seen Danny Roberts' work around here and there but only just came across his blog Igor + Andre. This video was on there and thought I'd share it because I always love to see how artists work. The music really sets a mood and I love the plate of biscuits that slowly dissapear near the end.

I hear he is illustrating/working on a childrens book with Sophie Ward (Yes Gemma's sister) which I look forward to seeing!

I had the pleasure of meeting Sophie during my uni years while I was dressing her for a David Jones season launch show. She was super lovely and quiet and really seemed to love reading. I remember we spoke about the Harry Potter novel she was reading at the time. Anyway hope you are enjoying your Thursday!

COVER TO COVER : ALEXA CHUNG HARPERS BAZAAR MAY 09

Alex Chung sitting pretty for the May 2009 edition of UK Harpers Bazaar. How did I miss this cover when it came out? Its beautiful. I especially love that its not just the normal body pose or straight on portrait and the free flowing text just tops it off. Love.

Im pretty sure the shot was taken by Guy Aroch? and that great dress she is wearing is from Giambatista Vallie SS09

PHOTO OF THE DAY : MISSY RAYDAR

PHOTO OF THE DAY : MATHILDE FRACHON

Lovely shot taken by Benoit Peverelli of Matilde Frachon for an Elle China editorial called "A une Passante Paris Shanghai" (which I think means something like "a Paris passerby in Shanghai" or vice versa!) in May this year (stylist: Stephanie Zhuge)

BRISBANE THREADS SURPRISE FASHION FIND

A lucky dip for fashionable adults! Online fashion community Brisbane Threads has come up with a clever idea called Surprise Fashion Finds. Im new to this site so not sure if this is a regular occurrence? But there are 50 mystery boxes available for sale at just $20 (plus postage) and contain goodies from places such as Saralli, Dexter-Rose and stylist Rebecca Williams, up to the value of $100.

All done through ebay (with the security of paypal) the process is simple and easy, its just all about the luck of the draw. My mystery box is on its way and I can't wait to break it open and check my luck! Over half of the boxes have already been snapped up, so if you are a lucky dipper from way back you will love this! I'll be sharing my surprise fashion find as soon as it arrives on my doorstep.

LOOK OF THE DAY : DEREK LAM S11RTW

A double shot of Derek Lam this morning. I love the first look, a 70's revival with clean lines and a 'Charlie's Angels' feel (so on trend), but had to include the second as I think this is one of the few great examples of denim on denim actually done in a stylish way and looking good!

HANDMADE BUY OF THE DAY : BOHEMIAN BRACELETS

These gorgeous bracelets (12 in the set) are from Etsy store Maribelle Campa. Hand made in Puerto Rico with natural Greek leather and silver plated tubes, they'd be a beautiful addition to the hippie-chic maxi dresses emerging for this summer. Selling for US$30, check out the store for a great range of colour combos.

PHOTO OF THE DAY : EARTH ANGEL

Im not always a fan of Gisele but I think this shot is classic, elegant and effortless. Shot by Nino Munoz for Muse Magazine. Styled by Katie Mossman (make-up by Yumi)

PHOTO OF THE DAY : RED HOT KAREN ELSON

This pic is from "Red Hot" an editorial in this months Uk Harpers featuring Karen Elson, shot by Alexi Lubomirski (styled by Sophia Neophitou-Aspostolou) via Fashion Gone Rogue

LOOK OF THE DAY : KAREN WALKER S11RTW

Loving this look! The lustre of the full lemon skirt contrasting with the fitted grey marle, with those nude shoes and cute skinny bow belt...drool. The rest of the Karen Walker Spring 2011 RTW runway is just as effortlessly chic and well worth a browse (via style.com)

PHOTO OF THE DAY : FRIENDLY FLOWERS

A lovely lady gave me theses blooms a couple of months ago, but I only just re-discovered these pics I snapped, cleaning up my hard-drive in prep for my new imac's arrival this morning! (woot)
