A while back we got the dream team together (Samira, Tash and Alyssa) to style a cute spring themed shoot for Tasha's little sister Chantelle, She's taking her first step into the modelling/pageant world and we had the great opportunity to style and shoot her for miss spring/summer. As you can see Chantelle has the same natural modelling talent that her big sis Tash has!
I took the roll of styling assistant today and let Samira run the show but instead I did all the hair changes and a whole lot of pinning!
Really happy i had this head piece in my kit! it totally transformed this outfit!
Hey Guys! I'm back again with another Editorial for Flamingo Pink! This month we picked out a fabulous range of swimwear from brands like Roxy, Billabong, Wildfox and Anna and Boy and put them on 2 of the cutest girls out to bring you the best bikini inspiration for summer! Check out the Behind the scenes article Here!
This Months shoot was also our first ever live Instagram shoot! meaning that our Instagram followers could follow the shoot while it was happening, hopefully brightening their dreary work day! you can check out the shoot on their Instagram Here
These Neon suits were so fun and bright, the Coral is from Billabong and the purple is from Roxy.
This super cute print is from Bombsell Bay, they're really bringing the fun to Summer!
Here is a bikini for Anna and Boy for General pants, I love that they mixed stripes with neon, it really stands out amongst the usually floral or beachy coloured swimsuits you see every summer.
I'm digging high waisted everything and it's such a great option for the beach if you're not comfortable in a barely there bikini! The red suit is from Wildfox and the white is Bikini Atoll.
Here's a close up of the Bikini Atoll 2 piece, such a great use of cutouts and it's so flattering on a tanned bod!
My favourite Swimsuit of the day! I go all mushy over a cute pink Gingham, and this Wildfox one piece didn't disappoint, even if the price tag did! It also looks super fab with these cute shades from Sportsgirl! Vintage style swimwear and accessories will be my favourite for this summer!
Here's the team celebrating with a paddle pop after a long tiring day of swimsuit modelling! I'm so classily crouched at the front in my hot pink jelly sandals #socool
Tell me what you think! Are you keen and ready for the Aussie summer?
Apologies for being absent for so long! I've been dying of multiple plagues! Since spring has hit Sydney like a hot and sweaty brick wall, I've decided to make a list of awesome things to get you feeling fresh and motivated in time for summer and to give yourself a much needed confidence boost!
1. Spring clean/rearranging
What my room use to look like!
Since i've moved into my dads place my room has tripled in size! Not only did i upgrade to a double bed (teenage dream!) I've actually now got enough room and furniture to move about my things however I please! I like to change the position of my bed a lot to bring a new perspective to my space, this time i'm thinking of movie ALL THE THINGS!
The only problem being, my room looks like a trash heap! so to get it ready for the big change i'm going to have to do the dreaded wardrobe cleanse. usually at the change of season i'll go through and chuck out all the clothes that i didn't wear that past season, even though its time consuming and annoying, spring cleaning your room gives you a sense of accomplishment (plus, now you have room for all this seasons outfits!)
2. Learning a new skill
Right now i'm obsessed with baking adorable edible things! Me and my Sister have been slaving away making yummy treats to give to our friends and I think you should do the same!!
Here's one of my favourite videos for hamburger cupcakes by Nerdy Nummies
My first attempt at cake pops! Mario and Luigi hats!
Watermelon cookies from Kawaiisweetworld!
Baking not your thing? Try some fun DIY, nail art or make-up tutorials! There's nothing you can't learn from Youtube!
3. Buy a new wardrobe!
Let's be honest! New clothes make everything better! So after you've done your huge wardrobe clean out (and maybe sold all the clothes on eBay!) You deserve a bit of a shopping spree! To lower the chances of buyers remorse write yourself a shopping list, do some research into what look you're going for and research some key basics for that style (got no clue? Feel free to ask me here) then do a little online recon for stores in your area.
Broke ass student like me? Take those clothes from the throw away pile and make something of them! I'm currently turning an old denim jacket into a vest and I like to bleach and fray all my old jeans into shorts! the beauty of up-cycling your clothes is that you can't go wrong, if you ruin it you can just throw it away like you originally intended. Check out Vintageboatpeople for some awesome Clothes tutorials!
Let the creative juices flow! You'll be feeling happy and inspired in no time!! Link me to any projects you try! I'd love to see some before and after bedroom shots as well!
so i actually worked out today D: i just did one of those workout posts that i keep seeing on my tumblr dash! the one i did was for dancer legs and included lunges, squats, jumping jack and stretches and i just added some ab crunches to focus on the areas i want to change. and OMG my butt/legs hurt!!!! i had issues walking down the stairs :P i love that things like this are so accessible to us now days!
it's hitting the end of winter now and tomorrow is meant to be 26 degrees (WTF? why so warm D:) soon it will be shorts and bikini weather and i'm determined to have a rocking bod. i need to focus on my eating habits coz i just had a post-workout cookie (whoops!) i want to eliminate mcdonalds from my diet and it's been a huge struggle for me because i usually eat it because i'm too lazy to choose something proper to eat! anyone else struggling to kick the bad habits? got any tips or tricks for toning up?
pretty excited/nervous for tomorrow!!! i only have to work 4 hours (win!) and its an open shift(double win!) and then i have to come home and finish my captain america outfit. since i'm making it off the top of my head i'm worried i'm going to screw it up D: wish me luck!
