Face Painting!!

My lovely friend in the previous post (Ali) bought me some Snazaroo face paints for my birthday, and finally I had a play around with them the other day, and this is what appeared! I intend to use them in combination with my first collection! Might be waiting a while, but you will see eventually! :)

More TOAST Outfits!

Here is my lovely friendy Ali sneaking my camera and taking the mic out of me! love my little Ali :) 

 Liked this picture of my lamp! Was my Granny's lamp :) x

 Here are some more lovely TOASTy trousers..polkadot! Once again, they are very very long so have tucked them into my socks again until I take them up! love them though...suuper comfy..worn with an old Top Shop jumper, that my mum had from the 90's, a fake Fur coat I got from a lovely charity shop in Canada and a lovely necklace that was from my dear Aunty :)..oh and some of Granny's lovely shoes!

Here is a beautiful coat that i recently got from work, am wearing it with a simple linen tunic, also from work! love these colours and love this coat!

 Here I am wearing another new item from work! eek! a beautiful printed dress with blue tights, red cardie and leather xx

 Wearing a linen cotton jersey TOAST jumpsuit, from the same range as the tunic, its suuper long, so have tucked it into my socks until I get round to taking it up, but still looks alrighty I think! wearing the jumpsuit with a TOAST wool jacket from last season, leopard print scarf and jersey necklace and top from my final collection! ..for a nice bit of bright colour :)

 Here I am wearing the lovely coat and tunic again but with some nice light pinky tights from h&m and some last season suede booties from TOAST..and a lovely white scarf from my mama..and a top underneath the tunic from my final collection..to stay warm!! :)

 Wearing the TOAST Mosaic dress with my mums old wooly jumper over the top and denim jacket I got from a charity shop last year...and the suedes again..now all wet from the rain! Little peak of the mullet flicking out too...what a treat..!

New Shoes!

Here are a pair of new shoes that I got for my uniform at TOAST ..the toe is very soft leather and the rest of the shoe is thick canvas...lets hope they don't get too dirty!

I thought they looked really nice against my carpet and with my patterned tights! 

Faces..

Here are a few faces that I have drawn recently, a little project I have set myself...

 It is the beginning of the new S/S 12 Collection at Toast (where i work) and i have just got my first item of uniform, a stripy tunic. There are still a lot of pieces from the new collection to arrive and so i haven't wanted to use any more of my uniform up! Therefore! ..i have been wearing my stripy tunic a lot! Here are a few ways that i have created slightly different looks with the same tunic..

 With Granny's old scarf and coat that i recently took the shoulder pads out of..and TOAST leather boots..

 Old patent leather boots that i haven't worn for yonks! And lovely blue beret :)

 Tights and me leathers with a jersey skirt underneath..And TOAST wool jacket..

Bits of Styling Work

  Last weekend i styled a photoshoot for a hairdresser that i know who is entering a competition. She had to style a cut and colour and do a fully styled photoshoot to fit the theme of 'Androgyny.' We wanted to keep it simple with strait cut shapes and a few bits of softness in there! There wasn't much of a budget so we made do with clothes that i had, pins, and a couple of oversized shirts from Paul (also a hairdresser!)

You cant really see, but in the photo above there is a beautiful long necklace that i got in Totnes market a few days before. Its turquoise and i chose it to go with the copper hair (although you cant really see the copper!)

 I enjoyed styling the outfit in the photo above the most as i got to use some more of my own ideas and creativity...they were a little hesitant at first but once i put it together as i imagined it they liked it, so that was good! I used two shirts and put them on back to front and buttoned at the back, layering the collars and cuffs...

Overall i enjoyed doing the styling, and hopefully next time there will be more time and some sort of budget. I want to get as much styling experience as possible as its an area that im interested in pursuing further. In the next month or two i will be able to get the professional shots which i will then put up on here!
