Last week I became a ‘real fashion blogger’.
You know what I mean; those fearless fashionista’s whose shots are done in the
middle of a road, or busy high street. Totally natural, and without fear.
Up until now I’ve been playing it safe- taking
them down my road, or on my village green. But no, the time has come that I get
over my embarrassment, and take to the streets (oh I am so gangster.)
I met up with the über stylish Frances and
Lola to do a street style shoot. We chose Liverpool as we originally were going
to an event; however this turned out to be a bit of a shambles and so shall
remain unnamed.
It was rather nerve wracking doing my ‘poses’
in front of hundreds of passersby along the Albert docks, as I rather play up
to the camera, well, I was never going to be a model so this is as close as I’m
going to get!
However you know what? It was rather
liberating. Of course we got the stares, the ‘who does she think she is?’
looks, but I’d like to think now, if I built up the confidence to pose in front
of strangers, I can do other things I thought I didn’t have the confidence for.
Studded Sleeve Jacket- Mango
White Cami- River Island (Similar)
Stripe Trousers- River Island (Similar)
I’ve blogged about this little tough stud number before, but I’ve never been one to be a wear once, get rid kind of girl,
hell, I’ve got bills to pay you know.
These trousers I’ve had for a good ol’ while;
however monochrome just seems to be a repeat offender so every couple of seasons
I just seem to be on trend- oh you know it’s just how I roll.
Again, these Zara burgundy heels have made an appearance before,
but they are just too pretty to stuff in a box. If you are going to do the
monochrome trend, I think a pop of colour is essential, so heels are just the perfect
opportunity to slip in some tones.
I had my makeup done at Urban Decay just
before. What do you think? I like it... however it’s a bit heavy and cakey for
me. Too much I think. Plus she extended my lip line; I’ve never understood why
MUA do this? Give me a comment and let me know what you think, I’ve always
played it safe with my makeup, browns, neutrals, so I was trying to branch out.
Beauty Bloggers, what colours would you recommend?
Being on location, I just couldn’t be the centre
on attention, the gorgeous Albert Docks needed to do their thing to.
All in all, there’s nothing to this ‘street
style’ thing, next stop, Oxford Street... or you know, angry tourists, maybe not.


Gorgeous love those shoes

You look amazing! I say snap away, you found some pretty locations to take photos Liverpool is great for that. I need to introduce myself next time I see you, instead of being a geek & all shy.

You look gorgeous! I love the mango jacket it's beauts. I wish I had the guts to do a location shoot ! Perfect setting :) xxxx
ReplyDeleteIt helps when there are other bloggers there. I definitely couldn't do it with a tri-pod! x
DeleteYou look so pretty, the makeup came out great, but if it's too heavy it can be saved for special events :) I think it was worth it to step out and take these photos near the dock, they came out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteMili from call me, Maeby
Thanks Mili for the make up comment. Maybe just for special occasions, as normally my makeup is, as the MAC woman said to me yesterday 'Fresh faced' that I'm not used to heavily colours. I do want to experiment more, but I feel like my clothes are loud enough! Ha x
DeleteThe jacket is a absolute beaut, you look so gorgeous hun. x
