Just a little sneak peek at a shoot I did today… aren’t the shoes killer?

a happy striped dance.
It was love at first sight. Prada’s Spring/Summer ’11 collection is an explosion of stripes, clashing colours, and absolute mania. From multi-coloured furs to geometric wiggle glasses, it’s a wonka party on acid – especially as all the pieces are worn together in a shameless parade of all things bright. The banana printed shirts transport us to somewhere altogether different where the sun shines warm on our backs and big sunglasses shade our eyes from the rays. Top of my list are the platformed lace ups… but then, aren’t they on everybody’s? p.s. Dear Prada: more videos in the future please. You’ve brightened up my Wednesday.
vamped.
Strange how a single item can totally transform the way you feel. As soon as this dark purple shade started transferring onto my lips I felt my inner goth come to life. Actually, I had it in my mind that I was going to wear this colour even if it looked ridiculous and was shocked by how wearable it actually is. An almost blackish purple that feels so perfectly right for this time of year. Reactions have been mixed: ‘it’s scary and your going to freak out kids’ to ‘it should be your new trademark’. We’ll see what comes of it… but I hope it wont be like all my other lipsticks that I wear once and then let fall to the bottom of the basket.
Wearing: MAC lipstick in Cyber, AA grey t-shirt, Madewell jacket, Urban Outfitters jeans, Monki boots.
p.s. I’m entered into the Refinery 29 Next Big Style Blogger competition. If you happen to feel so inclined (and want to send me to New York for a week, yaaaah baby, come on) you can vote here. I’m under ‘Jennifer’ from ‘Oxford’. xx
cheap & cheerful.
Am currently going slightly weak at the knees due to the awkward nature of this editorial. Perfectly encapsulating a somewhat ironic Swedish aesthetic. It doesn’t take itself too seriously and reins in the power of unpredicted models. It has currently got me longing for everything in the Cheap Monday S/S 11 collection… and a wind machine. Because what’s the use of a sheer skirt if you can’t make it fly?
