DOWNTON ABBEY

INSPIRATION:DOWNTON ABBEY

do i have some eye candy for you..i had the pleasure..as always.. to collaborate with my dear friend and photographer Tara Whittaker on our first photo shoot of 2012.
The Downton Abbey shoot was filmed on location at both lougheed house and heritage park.
Tara went live on her blog and below is the link



The good news is that elements of the shoot are being picked up by two wedding blogs. "Style Me Pretty" is doing a facebook album and "Wedding Obsession" will be featuring some of the DIY projects. unsure about the exact dates... but can keep you posted.

I want to thank Tara for her effortless ingenuity and skill.... to this fun project. I couldn't have done it without you. check back to see photos of my friend Tara (perhaps even me) in action....

 

 

PS.....our manicurist was unavailable that day, and Tara(other) had nails on her inspiration board

 

so....i tried on my own..not bad for a stylist whos own nails are stained with hair color..:)

i guess this is exactly what ive experianced the last 4 months...
its not like i have nothing to say....yes i hear the echoing of laughter
needed to focus on behind the chair creativity, get the juices flowing in the scizzors before learing the ropes of creative blogging..
fingers.....good to go
creativity..check
something to talk about..roger that!
so stay tuned  .... 

THINKING OF BOUNCY WAVES....

UNDENIABLY GLAMOROUS:

THIS IS THE LOOK THAT MAKES WOMEN..AND YES MEN ....DO A DOUBLE TAKE!

WHY I LOVE THIS LOOK:
 BECAUSE LIKE A GOOD BRA..IT CAN BE CUSTOMIZED FOR THE PERFECT FIT... A CENTER PART IF YOU PREFER LENGTH AROUND THE FACE, OR WORKING WITH  A SIDE FRINGE
OR IF YOU NEED TO ACCENTA SHORT FRINGE ALA' HALLE BARRY, ADD SOME TEASING IN THE SIDES TO BALANCE A LONG FACE

THIS STYLE TRULY LOOKS GOOD ON EVERYONE..THE SECRET..SOFT LAYERS AND MOVEMENT....ALTHOUGH IT CAN'T CLAIM A CURE FOR THE COMMON COLD, THIS LOOK CAN CERTAINLY CAMOFLAGE AVERYTHING FROM PUFFY CHEEKS, ASYMETRICAL FACIAL FEATURES ..OR  A PICK ME UP FOR A LESS THAN DREAMY SLEEP..

RED WITH ENVY...

RED IS THE HOT COLOR OF THE SEASON...FORGET BEING TRENDY...WHETHER ON THE RUNWAY.FASHION MAGAZINES. THE ACCENT ON YOUR BEST HEELS...OR BEST OF ALL...THE GORGEOUS LOCKS OF HAIR BEING SPOTTED....RED IS ALIVE..VIBRANT..SEXY.CURIOUS...HERES SOME OF MY FAVORITE REDS FOR SPRING....

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST.....THE FUNNIEST REDHEAD AROUND......
