SUMMER WISHING

 {Brooke's wearing: Sportsgirl tee, Sportsgirl charcoal jeans, Wittner booties, Chloe bag, Virtu oversized cardigan & Pandora bracelet} 

I have been wanting to introduce you for some time now, to our sometimes photographer of our outfit blog posts. Apart from photographing, she is our friend, fellow fashion lover & the above pictures show you a bit of what we get up to after shooting outfits! For a bit of fun, I interviewed Brooke on a few things & she tells us her favourite picks from our Skinny Chili store:

1. Birthday month: Novemberrr
 
2. Your nickname is? Brooklyn (even though its longer than my actual name)
 
3. What's mostly in your closet? different types of jackets, example cardigans, oversized jumpers, blazers & coats
 
4. How would you describe your style? I'd like to think my style is indie with a hint of street, really fresh and comfy.
 
5. You can't live without? pens & notebooks! & any type of camera.
 
6. Your favourite perfume/beauty/hair product: Marc Jacobs - Oh, Lola! perfume
 
7. Your favourite quote? i have so maaaaany! One that I just heard recently and i love is - "if your dreams don't scare you, then their not big enough"
 
8. If you had a day to yourself with no set backs, what would you do? Does that mean unlimited money? Ahahaha then i would go shopping, get an amazing face & back massage, discover a new cafe, lie down on fluffy grass and cloud gaze, make a new friend & buy a special little something to bring home for the family (:
 
9. Why do you love photography? because its absolutely amazing! I grew up taking pictures and its an amazing way to really capture moments and to show a certain object or scene in such an extinct way. A lot of people see things and just walk past them or drive past them but i stop and really take in the details of small things or stare at a certain scenery in amazement and awe, and i immediately start taking pictures from different angles because a camera can see so much more than what an eye can see and thats what i love! when you look through a camera lens its like everything comes to life, it all looks so much more bolder and it lasts forever.

GET ON THE FLOOR

Just a little snippet of the work we did shooting last Saturday in Hyde Park for a look-book featuring Ally clothing. I find it so funny that every photo Chantelle releases, I'm awkwardly lying on the floor...

Don't Get Me Wrong: Behind the Scenes.

Late last year I did a photo shoot for a clothing label called Don't get me Wrong, on the wharf of a beautiful sea-front house. Here are some behind the scenes shots of us during the photo shoot, thanks to the lovely Hilary Ho, my make-up artist for the day. It was chilly, extremely windy & I had a bad cold but despite that I had so much fun & these dresses are gorgeous. I think every girl should have the 'black silk wrap maxi dress' as a Summer staple.
