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...

I know this is an extremely late post as it's no longer even August, but I wanted to share with you some recent photos because I've been so busy lately! 

In the last few weeks I have been picking out new pieces to stock in the online store (vintage & brand new), shooting new stock, preparing for a whole new Spring look book-playing the roles of stylist, model, hair & make-up simultaneously,  modeling for other designers & fashion students, working in an office full-time & indulging in delicious food in-between! 

But most of all I can't wait to show you the photos & amazing outfits to come in the new Skinny Chili Spring look book to be released real soon! Here's a sneak peek so you can be just as excited as I am!

Botchii Magazine.

 A few weeks ago I featured on a page of Botchii Magazine, an online mag for all things fashion. I'm wearing designs by Bianca Gomez & you can view the whole write up here. My favourite dress of hers at the moment is the Midnight dress. I love the length, the cut-outs & general flow of the dress, I will definitely be doing some creative outfit posts in this dress! They are available to purchase now online either on her facebook page or website.

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.

Make Up Store.

Last year for the Style Bungalow Magazine shoot for 'Clash of the Bright-Ons', I had my make-up done by Maria Gabriel, head make-up artist at Make Up Store in Paddington. I walked into the store & fell in love with the line of products. As I browsed the store afterwards I found amazing smelling perfumes & coincidently that a few days ago was Valentines Day, my favourite smell was 'Your Valentine.' The bottle reads: I am sensitive and feminine. I spend my days in the tub, reading books or taking long walks in the woods. Looking for someone who likes genuine conversations in front of the fire place and likes to take me out to dinner. I love chocolate and red roses....

As we were leaving, we were given these chunky bangles that remind me of the Sportsgirl colours & easily go with any colour blocking outfit.
