Last week we went and took some photos.

I've been working in Barnardos Vintage all summer, getting my kicks out of making big bulk sales to fashion show organisers and sidelining a developing enjoyment of window dressing, store layouts, entertaining and convincing customers and dressing mannequins. Not gonna lie either like - I do get first dibs on all the best bits. (a la satchel bags and designer nick nacks) So.. spurred on by the array of magic finds that people still seem to dismiss as 'upstairs rubbish' I thought I'd dress some dollys, head out on location and take some nice pictures influenced by upcoming autumn winter 2010/11 trends.

The first two trends we looked at are the Country poet trend and the maybe predictable a/w trend of military. I mixed up some Barnardos vintage with some of mum's ageing wardrobe and added some habidashery sprucings, and here are the results...

Siobhan is: Country Poet
Laura is : Military Uniform





Dress: mum's wardrobe circa '97, gloves: barnardos, boots (just seen) Bishops, hair ribbon: habidashery

change o' location




Hat piece, faux fur coat, Shirt, skirt, military badge: all Barnardos Vintage.

These are my favourite editorial(ly) acceptable(ey) pictures of the day. Any photo advice would be amazing, I'm not a photographer like so throw some my way. Never been boss on a shoot day before so was in abit of a tizz but I think pictures turned out quite well. This week I'm hoping to get some more goth glam~esque pictures do 'cos they'll be more fun. Stud fest and bullet belt central. Can't wait!

Geri was there too... hahaha:

you know when you watch something, and it just gives you a sense of clarity...

Last summer I read Andy Warhol's autobiography and drew a masses of inspiration from him. He was abit mad, abit extreme, confident and completely himself.
Last week i watched an Andy Warhol documentary by the bbc that I completely recommend watching. Some say Andy Warhol's best creation was himself... he stood out, drew on his surroundings and made himself something special. I completely adore his work and everytime I get a rebrief of his bits (lol) feel a big fat desire to do something interesting.. something bold and artsy. Spent today sewing and have been dreaming of crafts, cooome on motivation, thank you inspiration!!
