15 things you need in your stylist bag.

Hey guys!

I heard some great reviews on my 'How to dress like a runway show dresser' so since you guys love a bit of 'how to' behind the scenes I thought i'd do a piece on how to pack your stylist bag!

A stylist bag is a handy tool to carry on photo shoots and will be vital when things go wrong. It's all about being overly prepared, so that if there is a malfunction of some sort it wont ruin your whole shoot. For example, a garment may be way over sized on the model, or wont sit properly, a model may not wear the correct underwear for a look or straps my break on a key piece.

Your Stylist bag should include:

1. Nipple covers ,incase your garments are too thin and the model has to go bra-less.

2. Bulldog clips or pegs, to take in clothes that are too big on the model.

3. Sewing kit, if something breaks you're going to need to be handy with a needle

4. Towel/Sheet, this is really handy if you're shooting in public so your model can get dressed discretely 5. Spare nude underwear, stick on bra and bandeau, sometimes models aren't prepared so you must be.

6. Safety pins and rubber bands, to hold things together.

7. Masking tape and scissors, for any shoe taping emergencies.

8. Static spray, to use on clingy fabric and Sticky rollers to get rid of hair or lint on clothes.

9. Pain killers, tissues, moisturiser and sanitary items, be prepared to save someones day!

10. Wet wipes and stain remover pens.

11. Body tape, it will bind things together or on your model and is safe on clothes.

12. Markers, so you can label where clothes are from once you've taken the tags off. (by writing on a piece of masking tape and sticking it near the tag)

13. OPTIONS!! Make sure you pack more than your planned outfits! Even if you don't use them they can come in handy!

14. Tissue paper, incase the shoes don't fit the model, you can stuff them.

15. Bobby pins and hair ties, because who doesn't need more of these.

Optional:

1. Straightener. (Incase the Hair stylists' breaks)

2. Hair spray.

3. Tagging gun, to re-tag clothes if needed.

4. Thongs, incase the model has her toes recently painted.

5. Paper towels and ziplock bags, for cleaning and storage.

I've seen plenty of items like these used even in a pre-prepared Studio shoots! It's a stylists job to be prepared for everything and if you have a pre-packed bag with the above items ready to go, you'll be prepared for any catastrophe.

If you know of any other items that have helped you out in a switch, leave them in the comments!

Until next time! xx

MELBOURNE HAUL!

a few weeks ago i went to melbourne for a shopping spree with my friends! check out all the rad things i bought while i was there!

so here's an update video about my new job at topshop!!! I'm so excited/nervous to start! i recently had the uniform day where i was able to purchase some items that i have to wear to work.

here are 3 outfits i styled using the clothes i bought!

white mens tee and faux denim circle skirt

skull tank and striped moto shorts

denim button down, white tee and striped moto shorts

OH GOD MY LEGS ARE WHITE!!! you can tell its only spring when my legs are that pale! anyway heres a few things i just threw together. getting reading to become a working girl ;)

if you work at topshop i'd love to hear your experiences!!

heres my first ever pic in my beloved DISCO PANTS!!!!! so sad that summer is coming! i wont be able to wear them for long. they're by far my favourite pant! they're so comfy and fab and DAT ASS! i'm also OBSESSED with my fluoro lace crop. i want to collect all the colours! it's so easy to chuck on under any loose fitting tanks. i've been weary about the fluoro trend, i find it doesn't suit my skin tone but I'm glad to find something small that can just make an outfit pop. the purple/pink hair also helps, i'm finding it easier to wear pink because in blends in with my hair colour pallet :P

whats your opinions of fluoro/neon?


also if you'd like to purchase this skull top or studded shoes then hit up my ebay! you can also message me there if you're from outside australia and i can do a special listing ^_^

remember when we were launch!

So today we did a mini photo shoot for my label 'Metalhead and Damsel' he's one of the looks i styled. i tried mixing grunge with cute and girly styles to make the clothes more relatable to everyones personal style. Absolutely LOVE the rib tanks. Keeping 2 of them for myself! As well as these cute galaxy shoes! Oh the spoils of making your own clothes!

just what i needed

hellooo worldddd this is meeeeee. sorry. saying hello world reminds me of the saddle club... ANYWAY this was yesterdays outfit. i thought i'd tryout fishnets for the first time and all i can say is WHY HAVEN'T I OWNED THESE BEFORE?!?! they're so great at adding texture to an outfit! i even wore them again today! i bought them from paddy's markets (as well as the stud cuff) its my new fav place for accessories (i also got my fake chanel bag from there ;))

i'm also rocking my new docs in this pic. i'm unable to wear them out just yet because the toes are too tight :( i need to try and stretch them and then break them in. i wish they were more consistent with their sizing :( oh well. my fault for not checking out the shoe reviews like i normally do! i've been told to stuff them with wet news paper. anyone tried this and have it work?

also on other news im thinking of quitting my job and starting up a market stall/working part time. im so unhappy where i work and i'd rather spend my days slaving away with crafty diy projects ;) i'll do an instagram post soon and show you all what items i want to sell at my stall ^_^ also stay tuned for a new thrift haul blog! :D

wildfox wishlist!

so i've just been stalking iHATEblonde! she has amazing photography and i'm completely in love/jealous with her style! also she has an unlimited number of wildfox jumpers!!! these are the 3 she has that i'd love to steal!

i want this one in the cream ;)

i so badly want to cave and buy one (preferably the floral one first!) but its the end of winter this week and it heats up in sydney really quickly! :( they're so beautiful! any one know if wildfox does any sales? i'd love to snag these on the cheap!

or if you own one of these babies, are they worth the money you pay?

GAH! i suppose they'll have to stay on my wish list for now!

i'm currently saving to go to Melbourne for a shopping spree!! i've never been but i'm hoping to hit up some boutiques and op-shops since i hear all the cool kids live in Melbourne ;) any sites i should aim to see?

New haul video!!! i did some shopping at nastygal.com cotton on and i finally caved and got DISCO PANTSSSSSS listen to me ramble about my experience ;) 

turns out i did want to upload it haha. hypes would be loved and cherished!! ;)

studded shorts

10 points for crappy lighting! didn't really like this enough for lookbook.

top- American Apparel

Shorts- Cream

lilac stockings- equip

spotted docs- doc marten

can i just say i'm loving my lipstick in this pic!!! i've been blotting it on in layers instead of swiping it on in copious amounts :P it also lasts longer than usual.

so i'm kind of in love with this skirt!!! mainly because its the only black skirt i own that seems to go with my clothes :/

also im kind of obsessed with crop tops!! i need to improve my self esteem though so i can wear them all the time ;D i just love rocking high waisted things with crop tops! i can't wait to pull these looks all summer long ;)

what are you guys wearing on the other side of the world? i need some summer inspiration ;)

Where the wild things are.

So this was the first decent picture i took of my new lilac hair ;) i'm in love with it! Only problem in it's a bitch to upkeep coz i have to dye it every week >.< also i apologise for the grainy-ness of these pics. the lighting wasn't on my side that day :(

Anyway i'm absolutely in loveeeee with pastels and the whole 'romantic' look of skirts and headbands. it's like everyday is a glorious wonderland tea-party!!! to achieve this look you only really need some basics like skirts and flowy, button down tops then you can accessorise with flowers and pastels.

If you're thinking of joining in on the pastel hair brigade just remember a few things:

to get my hair light enough i had to bleach it TWICE! using the strongest available bleach. it will burn the crap out of you skull so make sure you get it done by a PROFESSIONAL! also because the ends of my hair were previously bleached(twice) they turned to straw and i had to lop it all off. hence why my hair is so short :P my hair use to sit just above the pocket of that shirt! so just be weary! also if you dye your hair frequently with dark colours don't bother trying for pastel hair. the dark hair dye will stain your hair and you will not be able to bleach it light enough. your hair will turn orange and it wont stick. trust me this happened to my friend and sister. its best to try on your natural hair colour so try to grow it out first :)

Ps. The jumper is from cotton on. it wasn't featured in my lookbook post :)

This is an outfit i wore a while back to go clubbing ;) i don't go clubbing often, especially in winter coz i'm a big nanna that goes to bed at midnight :P but i paid a crap load for my blackmilk suspender tights so i want to get some wear out of them. i find them a little too risqué for day time wear. doesn't help that when i wore them out some guys yelled from their car and said 'keep that shit at home, bitch!' bitches be jealous ;) ps. this was the 2nd time i got to wear my spiked litas!!! they're too perfect and beautiful! i wish i had more chances to wear them!
