LFW Street Style #1

As much as I appreciate individuality etc. this September's London Fashion Week had faaar too much clownin' and not enough sharp suitin'. This woman actually stood out in black, and she is fierce as hell - even with her trainers on.

Overlap.

Photoshop fun with overlaps, little experiment.

No Cigar.

No Cigar Magazine. Check it out here. It's exceptionally intriguing.

Flowers

I liked it when the sun cooked the flowers.

Food Fetish.

Just back from my holiday in the South of France. The fruit and veg there is ridiculously huge and delicious and I became mildly obsessed with photographing it.

 

All About WIGS

 I'm now a blogger for Edinburgh Online Fashion Week, super exciting project that will be building up until October! Any Fashion folk in Scotland or THE WORLD should get involved!!! CCCCHECK IT OUT HERE

 

Wigs, wigs, wigs and more wigs! All of a sudden they have popped up from no where, covering the catwalks of Brighton Fashion Week and the red carpet of the Scottish Fashion Awards. Lou Clavé of Hair for Heros is the genius who has brought back the wig. So far seen on the fashion crowd in Glasgow on the heads of Obscure Couture and model Julia Bell, while being used in photoshoots for Isolated Heros and Once Upon A Time.
Bringing back the wig coincides nicely with the revival of 90s fashion. The tackier, the

glossier, the brighter, the better. They are the perfect backdrop for head chains and hair accessories, and offset bindis beautifully. Not only does Lou Clavé provide wigs, she has an aray of coloured hair extensions, varying from bright neons to pretty pastals. Lou is not only a skilled wig applier and creator, she is an amazing stylist and has done some impressive and magical things with hair. My particular favourite hairstyle is the beautifully ornate beehive she created for Laura McMonagle for the Sunday Herald.

 I’ve always had preconceptions about wigs. How on earth do you get all your hair underneath them? They were always so overly glossy, so ridiculously bright and just really quite tacky. However, now I am older and wiser I embrace the tack and the concept that I can have a whole new hairstyle in ten minutes. Normally being one of these people who is minimum fuss with hair and make up I find it amazing how smitten I have become with Hair for Heros. Minimalism is out the window, it is now time for the bright and the brash!

I've been going through old baby and family photos the past week to get a little slideshow together for the Bday and I found packs of photographs from my first ever camera. Amongst all the pictures of my dog and hamster there are actually some really beautiful images. Makes me think about what my friend Flo said about trying to unlearn skills so you go back to the naivity of the 10 year old, picking up a camera for the first time.
I might just be being completely bias as they are my photographs and I feel unbelievably nostalgic towards them but they are probably better than what I could do now, seeing as I overthink everything and care far too much about composition, angles etc. Just go with the flooooooow...
