Streets Of Justice - Fashion Editorial

Streets Of Justice...

.....................

.. shot by Julia Kiecksee for HIRO

features a very dark almost ghetto-goth-glam
girl, strutting about the streets in gorgeous but dark attire that is
directly juxtaposed against the gritty street setting behind.

(I'd love to see a girl try this in the streets of South Africas more "dodgier" suburbs... LOL)
So. What can we learn from this shoot, besides how to carry out a fantastic
fashion editorial? - Crosses seem to be here for longer than most anticipated, and
all that glitters is still in, come rain or shine. As well as dark lips.... yes. dark lips.

 Enough said

LOVE everything about this shoot.

All That Glitters ... is Nasty Gal

All That Glitters...

....................................

Looks like Nasty Gal was on the same

brain wave as Miss Ivy with the

"All That Glitters" vibe...

Check out my All That Glitters Pinterest Board

over HERE!

It's no secret that fashion is taking a lean again towards

the shiny, glittery, sequiny and glamarous.

More is definitely MORE

and this season (and probably the next)

it's all about embellishments, studs, sequins,

metallics, and anything else

to make you 

feel

like

a

queen.

 

Nasty Gal has the Grunge Glitter DOWN

In the Mood with Nasty Gal

In The Mood...

...........................................

... is Nasty Gal 's latest lookbook.

Their last one I posted about - 

RIOT GIRLY

was all about the 90's grunge revival but with

a very floral sweet and soft undertone

in colours and silhouettes.

In The Mood

is taking it back to grunge basics.

VERY dark, sexy and sultry

(just how I love it)

In The Mood is all about:

"Embrace(ing) your dark side in sultry dresses and stormy prints topped with tough motos 

and heavy metal details."

I still haven't quite had enough of

crosses, sheer fabrics, studs

and all things gothy and grungy... keep it coming!

My top 3 picks:

1. Wreckless Cross Tank

2. Riveted Skirt

3. Totally Spiked Headband

LOVING this sh*t

ENJOY

XO

Boho Biker B*tch - Natasha Poly

Natasha Poly...

.............................................................

... looked freaking HOT in this editorial

done for Vogue Spain in November of 2011.

Now I know I usually blog about things that are trending

and now and new and hot etc etc,

so don't get put off by the "Nov 2011" part because this 

shoot holds SO much that is still so

applicable to current trends in the fashion world today... 

So let's take a look...

Natasha Poly pulls off the glam biker girl stint

so well. She looks hardcore and cute all at the same time.

I LOVE the leather and STUDS!

You'll also notice on her leather micro shorts

the quilting detail going on there

(pretty popular for Winter 12 in menswear jackets etc..)

and the fringe detail is very reminiscent of

the festival trend going round at the moment.

I think her makeup and the black and white

striped pants pulls everything together so well. Stunning shoot!

Have a great weekend everyone...

Much love and ENJOY!

MayField ... A fashion editorial

MAYFIELD...

................................................................

What would it be like to not just think about running away,

but to actually do it? Mmmhm, probably not nearly as carefree

and glamourous as this shoot suggests, but

a girl can dream ;)

Mayfield... Photographer by Australia's own young

photographer Luke Jason Carter, is one of  beauty, freedom and power.

The story, set to a vintage 1960's Motel and all styling following

a strong 60's 70's American West Coast vibe, holds so much

power and attitude, it's hard not to get sucked into the imagery.

There is a strong sense of GLAM juxtaposed with Indie aesthetics,

which I think brings a raw yet "glittery" element to the story.

Photographer Luke says:

“We channeled a Hollywood Boulevard, Jackie’O glamour look and merged it with a raw, indy look.”

Such beautiful inspiration for summer...

LOVE the graphic vest as well as  the glitter black over-sized

t-shirt dress. Just too sexy.

Check out the pics below!

Enjoy! xo

Grunge Glam - A Fashion Editorial

Grunge Glam...

..............................................................

... By Michael Stonis...is taken to the next level with a little label called
Gasoline Glamour
(but more on that in my next post).

For now I'd love to introduce to you the idea about what Grunge Glam is all about.
To put it quite simply, it's a cocktail of Rock, Hardcore Punk and Metal mixed with all things Bling, Glittery, Glamorous, Beautiful and chock full of Sex Appeal.

Over the last couple of years, fashion has seen quite a few changes to the essence of Grunge Fashion, and Grunge Glam is no new kid on the block... The editorial I'm posting about was done in 2011, and in all aspects is still very relevent to today's grunge fashion trends... 
Let's take a look:

Overall the images are stunning, and I love them!! It tells a story of two girls simply mucking about at home in their grungy glamorous splendour, perhaps getting ready for a night out? (as the sun seems to be setting as the images go on...) The first frame caught my attention with the Brandy Melville floral romper (If you read my blog often you'll know this is my favourite label) as well as, obviously, the over the top to die for shoes by Gasoline Glamour noticed instantly in the second frame. We also have a bit of Faux Fur, leopard print, denim and Printed Band Tees. The images all have " a free-flowing and natural with a vintage feel to it"

Stylist Jacqueline Lavaun has her say on the shoot:

"I was really excited about 
this story, marrying the 
grunge of Kurt Cobain rocker 
inspired clothing with the glam 
of Lady Gaga-esque accessories 
creates my dream closet."

This entire shoot is really picturesque and interesting in every way. This style rings so true to my own I couldn't help but share this gorgeous shoot....!!

Keep an eye on my blog for my next post - Gasoline Glamour.
