Behind the scenes of the SS12 photo shoots

Organising and doing a photo shoot is very hard work but it’s also a lot of fun, I try to make the day go by by playing some music, (Blondie was the one that got everyone going this time!) having lots of yummy treats (models, amazingly do eat!) and just generally trying to keep the mood upbeat by dancing around, singing or cracking bad jokes! Last Thursday and Friday’s shoots took place at Mycenae House in a leafy area of Greenwich. The building is actually an old convent which was purpose built in the 1930′s. It has lots of giant wooden floored rooms with huge sash windows perfect for photo shoots.

I have to personally thank Nargiz and Jenna my wonderful and beautiful models, Nicky the Photographer, Gemma the Make Up Artist and Hairstylist and last but by no means least – the amazing Clare of rainbowsandfairydust blog fame for helping me with the Styling! THANK YOU guys – you were ALL brilliant! :)

Heres some pics taken over the 2 days of shooting…

Lurex and Sequins

For my latest outfit posts on LookBook and Chictopia, I decided to throw on my favourite top on the boutique, this gold and black Lurex top from the 60′s. I teamed it with my favourite light blue skinnies from Uniqlo, a sequinned clutch from Zara and my trusty nude and black suede toe heels from Topshop. I was originally going to wear it with a plain black suede envelope clutch but swapped it for this sequinned number to accentuate the sparkle in the top. What do you think? Gold overkill or does it work?
