New Ivory

I am trawling the mags and net putting together looks for a shoot this Saturday. My favourite pic yesterday was the cover of New Ivory's latest single.

It actually has nothing to do with what I'm looking for but thought I would share...

A woman who changes her hair, is about to change her life.

Or so I have heard anyway.

I have recently taken the plunge from eight years of sleek black locks towards brand new shade of RED! I of course only trust my amazing hair stylist Daniel Mostyn http://www.dirtygirlbydanielmostyn.com/ to take me on this (too) long journey to eventual blonde.

I saw on twitter yesterday he has recently written for Cleo about seeing red and the resurgence of the brunette, on she said.com.

So I um and ah about committing to this intense new look and wonder what is going to happen next...

Daniel & I after I first got it done.

My hair in an up-do!

Good styling...bad styling...

I am scouring the earth for examples of good and bad styling for my first assignment...I am totally overwhelmed and underwhelmed all in the same breath. Thriving as always. Here's some of my favourite pics so far....I've got lots pictures in my head!

Lady Gaga in the US publication ID magazine.

I went & bought myself a copy of this one.
Of course I am in love with the PANTS - that I could never wear
and anything a little bit latex looking...

BEYONCE on the front of Complex Magazine - AMAZING.
Really the only way I can describe this.

Long time no post. Getting my farshun back.

(From Australian Vogue, September 2011)

In January of this year, I began a new job which has completely drained the life out of me. After the 65 millionth breakdown, I went to visit my friend. I was completely ill, unable to eat, so unhappy - a mess. She asked what I was doing?? Reinvigorated me with VOGUE (I know how easily entertained am I...) but reminded me that I had not had a chance to touch my pile of magazines since January.

I then thought, I have let all this go and I have such a passion - no wonder I am in all sorts??

So what does a highly effective person do...add a course into the mix - it is my belief that busy people get more done. So here it goes, I have enrolled in a course doing Film, Television & Personal Styling.

Stay tuned.....I am currently working on my first assignment! xx

How to start your own fashion label.

how to start your own fashion label.

Today I undertook a course in "how to start your own fashion label" with my friend Ryan. Absolutely loved it. We were sponges taking it all in, great teacher who runs her own label & has plenty of experience in Australia and outsourcing work to overseas.

I wondered how much we would get out of a day long course, surprisingly ALOT. Lots of check points we know to look out for, lots of things to think about.

Really looking forward to working on a collection over the next year.

I am concentrating student. Ever conscientious.

Ryan concentrating hard. Prior to us being publicly shushed by a class member. Unnecessary.

A delicious lunch time beverage to wash down all the knowledge.

Self explanatory.

Mmmm morning tea.

I took lots of notes.

Forced Perspective's New Website

Soooo the boys I have worked with doing some styling for, the Sydney electro trio FORCED PERSPECTIVE, have unleashed their new website, and I have to say it looks pretty damned TIGHT. Check it http://www.forcedperspective.com.au/index.htm

Here's a couple of pics that I worked with them on:






These photos were taken by the amazing Barnaby Wilshier, have a look at his site - http://barnabywilshier.com/

Carlie.

Carlie is modelling this amazing bib I bought in NYC on Bleeker at this VERY tight store called "Sucre". The piece is by Lisa Soltis, an LA based artist who deconstructs vintage leather jackets to create these one of a kind pieces. Jusr delicious. I knew I HAD to have it as soon as I saw it!

Kate.

Kate posed in some more shots for me, love her. In my now defunct Surry Hills home studio ; ) - end of an era now as I've now moved out (good 6 month stint.)

Check out the middle bangle worn by Kate in the shots, it's clear with gorgeous tiny bows inside! A gift from my brother, designed and hand made by his friends who run the "ït was me" label in Sydney. Their pieces are just divine!! http://www.itwasmecreations.com/

Love Meredith's eye yet again of course. Check out her work at http://www.artbylynch.blogspot.com/

An absolutely divine fashionista friend of mine,Chloe agreed to pose for some shots for for a styling competition. My chosen theme was "Prints & Metallics" so I DEFINITELY wanted her flaunting her golden harem pants. Just stunning.

I was very lucky to have my treasure of a friend & very gifted artist Meredith Frances Lynch take the photos for me. Her very gifted eye captured the look brilliantly. You can find out more about Meredith & her works here - http://www.artbylynch.blogspot.com/

I look forward to uploading more photos from this session over the coming weeks!
