Snap Happy, another test shoot!

Im sad that the Winter is forever drawing closer :( I'm very much a summer gal!

This was a fashion shoot I did over the summer with the help of my best friend Purdey. My auntie and uncle at the time were staying in a Caravan park in St.davids so we all ventured up for the day and did the shoot, We were so lucky with the weather and playing around with a lot of different looks meant that we got a lot of good images. 
Another practice under my belt, the inspiration for this shoot was from Of Love and Lemons - American dream, I wanted to recreate this and put my own spin on it (a welsh spin) :D 

Here are the results…

There is always room to improve and I think looking back the styling needed to be sharper, tidying up the edges on some of her outfits. But it was a lot of fun and the people staying on the site enjoyed seeing what on earth we were doing, so all in all a good day :P haha!

Yesterdays outfit of the day.

Ive decided I need a personal "life" photographer to get better pictures of the outfits I wear.
I love this outfit having recently purchasing these mama jeans, which I now live in! I also love to incorporate vintage into what I wear as much as possible, the jewellery and the oversized red cardigan were found from me having a good rummage through boxes in the attic and my mums old jewellery box, some good finds I say :D 

Jewellery - new/vintage
Hat - Urban Outfitters £24
Top - H&M £8
Oversized Cardigan - Vintage
Mama Jeans - Topshop £40 (student discount got me them for £36) :D
DM's - Doc Martens £90
Lipstick - Clinique (free from my housemate) hehe

I also love to cheat with vintage sometime, my docs are only a year old but give a vintage look, bringing back the punk, rock and mod years (and of course 80's/90's grunge, paired with mama jeans). Especially because mine are so worn now as I wear them everywhere, everyday almost. But to be honest, you can't really go wrong with docs!

GOLD SHORTS

Getting back into this blogging lark. 
Im a bit rusty.

This was one of the photo shoots I did over the summer and our brief was movement. So we thought we would have a play around with lighting and different garments to see how it went. From the help of my lovely friends/ hair stylist /photography students I did my first studio shoot. 

Here are some of my favourite edited pictures from the morning...

Granted my editing needs a bit of work, but I guess I have to start somewhere :D 

Model - Otto Masters

Hair - Mari Hupfield

Camera Loan - Catrin Ebbsworth

Photographer - Lilianna Jôb (me)

Behind the scenes...

I really enjoyed working in the studio with Otto showing me the ropes, defiantly still a lot to learn about setting up lighting and the camera, its a lot harder than it looks.

Oxford Trip

Gosh I need to get back into the swing of blogging. 

Anyway, back in uni for my second year of fashion promotion now!! How quick that summer has gone :( 
Last week we went to Oxford. I must say, Oxford is a lot more laid back that I thought it would be. I don't know what I was expecting to be honest, as if everyone would be walking round in top hats or something. Very Posh! What I noticed is that there is a very certain style there which I was sure wouldn't be as obvious. Its very much a Jack wills, Tommy Hilfiger "upper class, chilled living" vibe, a lot of shirts, polos and sweaters. Which I must say I love! AND all the guys are very well looked after, which is never a bad thing!
We also had a mini brief that we had to complete for the week after, which was looking at repetition. I had a few ideas, I looked at Gates, Signs, bikes and the texture of the different floors we walked on. There were SO many bikes there, as many bikes as cars in fact!! ❤

I loved everything about Oxford, the fact that it is very much a student city, with quaint shops and café, cobbled roads and windy back streets, its so pretty in the Autumn!
