CANDY COATED

{Wearing: Sportscraft shirt, Dotti shorts, Skinny Chili Vintage Blazer, Sportsgirl heels & clutch}

So happy to show you one of our first looks from the new Skinny Chili lookbook! The blazer makes everything effortless enough to just throw on with rolled up sleeves; yet mysterious... Is it a dress? Is it a blazer? Over all I love the berry pastel concoction of colours in this blazer... Almost looks good enough to eat!

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.

GREEN WITH ENVY

 {Vintage evening dress, Soho slip, Siren heels, SES trench, Pura vida bracelet}

So happy that the sun has finally come out to play! I've been wanting to do a post on this dress for a while but with all the rain & storms we've recently endured, it didn't  feel right. I love how this dress graciously billows in the wind & is so light to wear... So light in fact, that you need to wear a slip underneath! But with that aside, I've realised that I've added a few dark accessories, including dark plum lips. The trench has been my go-to jacket all Winter & I love throwing it over my shoulders as a cape. Thinking of wearing this ensemble to an up & coming wedding-what do you think?

LACE ROSE

{Wearing Romeo & Juliet Couture shirt, Vintage dusty pink sweater, Claire Powell lace skirt, Forever New fishnets, Sportsgirl pony hair pumps & rings, Skinny Chili satchel & SaboSkirt rings}

I apologise in advance for so many photos to scroll through, but I really love this look! I've had that 'dusty' pink sweater for years now, before I ever started selling my vintage finds & whatnot. It goes with EVERYTHING, cut-offs, skinny jeans, skirts-you name it. & this lace skirt has been my friend all through the Winter when I felt I needed a break from my pant/tights (as seen here)-sorry go to pants, I cheated on you! :(

On to something else now, I have very exciting news! Next week we will be shooting a new Skinny Chili look-book for Spring! My friend & ex co-worker Tracy will be photographing the look-book- we had to rush to find a date that we were both available before she pops her baby out! Unfortunately that's given me just over a week to prepare for it & yesterday I was rushing here & there to find last minute things! I'm excited as the vibe of the look book will be pastels; which is refreshing & excites me for the warmer days to come. Everybody's into pastel colours now right? I know I am :)
