Manga Britney

2 posts ago I commented on my love for POP magazine

... aswell as weird collage stuff






*tumbleweed*







ANYWAAAAY

WELLLL
what you may or may not know is that neither of these live up to my guilty pleasure of being a HUGE Britney Spears fan.


And do ya know what ... Britney has only gone all manga for POP's A/W issue! I'm glad shes channelling her weirdoness into a publication that can celebrate her strange antics...

awwwwwww, here she is!

(You can buy POP from Sept 1st. Do it.)

two things I like alot

Distorted collaged imagery and POP magazine -

so when I find that the POP blog is harbouring said distorted collaged imagery I feel it is neccassary to share the wealth with you via Tales of Fashion Happiness:

mmmmmm yum.




All images courtesy of THEPOP.COM - this is just a small selection but you can check out the rest at http://frombrazilwithlove.thepop.com/ (seeeeee arn't I good to you!)

Hot off the press...

Heres a little story for you...

I finished my first year of uni in May and a long stretch of lazy summer days were ahead of me , which for most people is heaven but for me


is hell.


I've picked up bad bad habbits since those precious school summer holidays of doing absolutely nothing , NOTHING with my time and before I know it its September all over again... *sigh*
4 months of doing NOTHING?? (capitals required)

no no no no no no


-so I made it my mission to gain as much experience as possible working with other photographers/ models etc (amongst all the city hopping) and its worked out pretty schweeet.


So yesterday I had my very first 100 % DIYtotally in charge (dun dun DUUUUUUNNNN) shoot where I casted my models , took a chance on a photographer I'd never worked with , styled it up , slicked hair down , smudged some eyes etc etc


and the photos?

well they are my favourite work from the whole summer...


Maybe I was subconciously saving my best until last?

Here goes:

Models: Mark Air - Veronika Ashlee Jones - Jade Lyon

When in ...oh, Paris?

Being the little jetsetter I like to think I am, this weekend I made a calling for Paris city of Luuuuuuurrrve...

minus the sight seeing and alfresco dining you would expect - there was an moment of being mistaken for a moulin rouge worker (if you catch my drift) - Maybe Paris isn't ready for black patent boots yet - (or maybe they're just a little too well known in Montremare...)


An incident regarding a KFC bargain bucket , which for a fashion blog is probably not something I should be mentioning and to top it off a crafty cheeky little shopping trip including a crafty cheeky little purchase from Marc Jacobs (YUMMMMMMMMMMMMM - MAJOR FASHION HAPPINESS -that deserved capitals)

The Eiffel Tower glowing in a haze of sparkles and the all round feeling of romance means I wouldn't mind heading back over to the land of Chanel sometime in the near future...

heres a few snaps that sum up the experience...

Phil Howard

Yesterday myself and Veronika were lucky enough to work with photographer Phil Howard -


There is no need to describe Phil's work , it speaks for itself BUT

Sharp, colour, contrast, dynamic, inspired by Testino I knew we were going to get on...

Just full on love it really.
