Longchamp Short 'choose your own adventure' film

I remember back in my school days being so fond of those choose your own adventure books. Basically, the storyline of the book is based on which story option you choose to continue onto, once the chapter is finished. The book tells you to turn to a specific page according to which story you choose and you read on from there and so on and so forth until you chose a storyline that leads your character to its doom either by killing them off or having them fail their mission. I loved the fact that I could start over again and chose a completely different storyline...all in one book! 
Well if like me, the mystery and adventure of those kind of books is your kind of thing then you would just love Longchamp's 'Keep on Riding' choose your own adventure style short starting the beautiful Audrey Marnay and several of the top fashion bloggers from around the globe in search for their new Balzane Bag. You've gotta try it...so much fun!!

Finally, more vintage!

So I'm setting up a makeshift studio in my dining room to shoot some vintage tomorrow. Along with all that is trying to figure out the best angles and distances to shoot from whilst being shot (the joys of playing model/photographer). I've practiced my Zoolander pose but still felt kinda silly about the whole idea of 'modelling' but anyway, here's a little sample shot and sneak peak of one of the cute knits we'll have in store soon.

Chasing the light

Another love of mine is photography. I love looking at beautiful photos and thinking about how they are produced and appreciating the emotions they evoke. Her is my photography set on Flickr. I own around 8-9 cameras and have taken thousands of photos. Will upload more soon, but here are some for now.

Tomboy

Being a woman is so high maintenance sometimes! I was raised with three very 'blokey' brothers which often ment that my parents dressed me in by brothers clothes and I played whatever they played on weekends and after school. This often involved making go-carts and racing them with neighbours, lizard collecting and making our special concoction of 'snail soup' (snails, slugs, water, salt...you know the rest :P) I never worried about how grubby I looked and it was often a fight for my mum to get me to wear earrings or anything girly.  Now I'm a grown woman but it doesn't help that I have three sons (no daughters), a professional rugby player husband with two of his male relatives living with us. I prefer to dress in anything baggy and often resort to wearing my husbands, 11 year old son's or my brothers clothes simply because I like it. Dressing in anything girly or sexy is a treat (more for my husband than myself) which I don't mind indulging in when I have the time or am in the mood for it.  This blog post is to pay homage to some of the beautiful celebrities who aren't afraid to strip off the stilettos and embrase their masculine side by doning mens style threads every now and then.
