Wicked Visions

Photography- Michelle Roller
 MUA- Alicia Hathaway
Model- Macy Stefancich 

This is a shoot I did last week, the day before Halloween. My best friend, who is a fantastic makeup artist from LA came up to visit for the holiday and we wanted to do a shot together before she left. Although extremely last minute, we found a model THAT morning and threw together an idea involving a gypsy witch style. I grabbed some wicked looking clothing from my sister's closest (haha), contacted a sweet model, and drove to an abandoned house in SLO.. ironically behind a home depot.  
Luckily everything worked out and both Alicia And I were really happy with the results.

Ideas


This a going to be a post about love. So I don't blame you if you just skip over all the context and go straight to looking at the pretty pictures. I would. Because I'm not sure how much I understand it. I've been grappling with this concept forever it seems. I've grown up with love. I've seen my parents together, how they look at each other and how no matter how many years go by they keep getting stronger and stronger. I asked my mom how she knew she loved my dad. She said, "I just know. He is it for me. and I'm it for him." I heard the cheer in her voice when describing how they met and just after 10 months they were married. I kept wondering, but HOW do you know? Are there unique signs? Is it a sudden lightning strike of conviction? Or is it something that grows and develops over time?
I know it exists because I have seen it. It's that tangible glow in a someone's eyes when they look at you.
I've always been somewhat cold. I didn't mind being alone. And after years of disappointment in relationships, I think I lost the point of love. I'm still trying to find it, or if there even is a definitive point to the whole idea/feeling/belief.
Maybe love isn't something you have to understand.
I know I love my family, I know I love my friends and I know I love my animals.
Some things you just know.

Falling for Mod 2011

Chelsea boots, shift dresses, colour block, peter pan collars, double breasted coats, and a-line skirts; The 60s Mod style is in for Fall 2011! We've seen it before, as the weather gets colder, the warm tones of the 1960s fall back into autumn and this year it's all Mod. 

One excellent mod fashion inspiration for this fall is the ever popular Fashion model, Twiggy. 
Her dresses were always short, a-line with bold colours and clean, geometric lines.


Another 60s mod inspiration is the Designer Mary Quant. 
Pair her mini skirt "invention" with a pair of dark, rich tights.

Peter pan collar-Then and now
 Peter pan collars are sweet and vintage looking. 
They are a modern way to wear the 60s without looking like your wearing a costume.
