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.

TROUSERS BLAZING


 Completely loving the loose trousers with blazer combo or the printed trousers with denim shirts (as you can tell here, my love of denim shirts is just starting) The first two looks from the top have to be my favourite of the new Mango look-book & those white wide-legged trousers are definitely going on my wishlist!

WORDS BY JUNG LEE


You know when you're at the beach, you write something in the sand & take a cool photo?
 Well this goes beyond that. I stumbled across Jung Lee's photography/art last night & I thought the landscapes were amazing... #justaddsomecleverwords.

CROSS YOUR HEART.

I've always loved crosses, but have become completely obsessed with them after seeing the new Nasty Gal cross-inspired collection. They have literally put crosses on everything including the booties (pictured) which are definitely going on my wishlist! I am completely in love with all the pieces & wish I could throw them all into my shopping cart! Check out our Skinny Chili cross necklaces here & here. You'll become obsessed too, cross my heart...

Mood Board.

Thought I would show you what's in my headspace at the moment for styling photo-shoots, choosing new clothing pieces for the store or anything that inspires me for anything really!
I'm trying to pretend it's not Winter at the moment by favouring rainbow pastels & pops of colour through make-up or on one key piece of clothing or accessory. Also loving what I call the milkmaid braids & was so happy when they turned out great for a photo-shoot I did today. As far as all the sky & sunset shots go, I'm dreaming of the moment when I'm overseas in a few weeks, in tropical weather, actually being able to wear cute denim cut-offs & light  lacy shirts!
