Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.

Here is some of Saturday's shoot (following on from yesterdays behind the scene post). This is the grunge aspect of the shoot. I felt like i was a teenager of the 1990's, styled in grunge attire. I embodied the attitude, looked homeless and made the Saturday traffic of Brisbane wonder "what is that girl doing". It was such a fun persona to take on. I got fully into character (Yes, i do "strung out" very well)

If like me you were barely talking or walking in the early 1990's, grunge fashion was essentially a mixture of punk and "outdoor wear". It consisted of plaid shirts, plaid skirts, leggings, oversized jumpers/ shirts, layers, combat boots, denim jackets, torn jeans. The most favoured colours were white, black, red, forest green, indigo, and brown. The clothes sort after by many, were often bought in thrift shops.

I just had a massive realisation when doing research for what was the exact "grunge" fashion. It is sounding all too familiar. I love flannelet shirts and i dress in a lot of those colours and i wear combat boots religiously. I think i am stuck in the 1990's.  Grunge is one of very few styles that can never really die as It's so easily worn, however it's so easy to be taken the wrong way as it tends to look generally unkempt. So, please if you are dressing like this do not look like you live on the streets or like you don't own a brush. It's all about taking aspects of trends and making it work for you.

Hope you like the first look from Saturdays shoot! Keep posted for more to come.

RED ECLIPSE

Yesterday was such a fun day. I shot with Daniel Sangermani and Jacquie Green from RED ECLIPSE PHOTGRAPHY. We shot many different looks and finished with some very, very awesome shots. It was so great working with them. We had such an understanding with each other. Which is what you want bewteen a model and a photographer. You don't want to have to be placed, you want to inspire them so they get the shot they are after.  Carla Sakrzewski (make-up) and Reichen Hodsdon (Hair stylist) are incredibly talented at what they do. They pulled the looks together. They're superstars! I was very tired by the time i got back to the coast, but it was worth it! Now the hardest part! Jacquie ansd Dan are selecting and editing the images! Can't wait to see the end product. Keep Posted!

Nordstorm have amazing shoes. Here are my Joe's Jeans 'Brenda' Sandal. I could have bought a lot more shoes, but i contained myself. I Still have to eat and live.  What do you think? There were some Jeffrey Campbell ones that were quite similar to these, but i opted for these babies instead! I decided on two posts tonight as i wont have time tomorrow! Can't wait for them to arrive!

Wooo! An outfit post. I am a denim wearer. I love denim. I wear it almost everyday. You could even say i am denim crazy. Today was a slow day. I woke with a migraine, so just took it easy. It was rather annoying actually, as there are a lot of things i needed to get down today, as it's my only day off this week. We move into our new place over the next week or so i needed to start packing! Have a rad weekend! I have a photoshoot tomorrow that i am very excited about!
