Some behind the scenes snaps after a photo shoot in Amsterdam a while back where I changed back into my own daily outfit. I dressed for being on the go, my Inkkas sneakers, Frends headphones (for in the train) jeans and a comfi sweater. The jeans ended up being not the smartest item to wear to a photo shoot since they require the familiar skinny jeans struggle, pulling and wrestling to get out of them but they did make for some great laughs :) xoxo
I had so much fun during this Refinery 29 x Timberland shoot in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. We walked around mostly, chatting about all things fashion and New York and I showed my favorite Williamsburg spots. I styled two of my favorite Timberland Spring/Summer '14 styles, colored flats and gorgeous sturdy boots. In the first look I paired the red Earthkeepers® Ellsworth Ballerinas with a denim shirt and leather trousers for a easy boyish feel (how delicious would these flats be with a knee length floral dress?) and in the second look I paired the Timberland Stratham Heights Boots with over the knee socks, a duo-tone leather dress and a duo-tone tweed textured coat, perfect for a relaxing Williamsburg stroll walking little Chloe the dog and strolling down the waterside. xoxo

Last week I was in New York for not one but two very special projects! THE OUTNET asked me to style my favorite OUTNET cashmere items in a fun Williamsburg, Brooklyn photo shoot and here are the results!
My favorite cashmere items from THE OUTNET are the IRIS & INKblack angora blend sweater the Rugby-striped sweater and the Burgundy Contrast-sleeved sweater! The high quality jumpers are super soft and all very simple and easy to style making them both versatile and super comfortable! I loved that the fit allowed me to tuck the sweaters in the Alice + Olivia sequined skirt for a more styled look. My idea was to show the sweaters in the exact same look to show what a difference and statement a solid, color block or striped sweater makes to an entire look! xoxo
Helena Christensen launched a collection of glasses "Selected by Helena Christensen" for Specsavers, a collection of glasses that she loves the most! Together with Cindy, Roos-Anne, Tess and Linsey I modeled some of the selected glasses in a gorgeous photoshoot by Marc Deurlo for Grazia Magazine of which a little preview was printed in the magazine last week! The shoot was inspired by a photoshoot Helena photographed herself, and no need to say I felt right at home in the soft fuzzy pastels and I kind of fell in love with the bright red glasses too! xoxo
photos by me and Camille Last Friday I was invited over at Snap Studios in London for a Company Magazine photoshoot. I had the honor of modelling some of the new ss2013 pieces together with fellow blond (and beautiful) bloggers Alice and Camille! I saw so many pieces that I can't wait for to come out in stores! (ahhh Reiss booties, anyone?) and learned some new make-up foundation tricks from the make-up stylists (M.A.C cosmetics it is) I can't reveal too much yet so I guess we have to wait for the April issue of Company Magazine to come out but for the meantime I made a little behind the scenes sneak peek diary :) xoxo
Thank you Lexxi for the amazing opportunity and thank you Alice and Camille for the amazing day!
Last February we were asked to style and model Pennyblack's FW 2012 collection for their Megalog Magazine (lookbook) and Online Portrait in New York! You might already know Italian Brand Pennyblack or have seen their collaborations with the BlondSalad and FashionSquad before? Basically they publish 2 Megalog LookBooks a year presenting their new collection in different photoshoots and it was such an honor to be asked and an amazing opportunity esspecially because I got flown to new York during Fashion Week!
THE SHOOT
The idea Nadia and I had was to capture exactly that what we love about Blogging! "taking pictures" together and yes, secretly we had most fun matching outfits!
We only had 1 afternoon to see the Pennyblack collection and to pre-style our looks which was quite hectic but so much fun since we really tried to match our looks while still keeping it our own style! The Photo Shoot itself, taking place around the Meatpacking area took only 1 day as well, where we had limited time due to light and snow! I still can't believe we manged to shoot 12 looks in only a few hours and had a great lunch in between!
We really liked the idea of having movement in our photos! At first we kept doing jumps but we quickly realized we needed a broader spectrum with playing with the movements so in came the "bag toss" and Nadia's "hair flip" (My favorite Pennyblack looks are these first 2 photos; the checked trousers, skirts and coats in Yellow, Blue and Green)
OMG, haha, what can I say, first of all we are totally silly for actually styling and matching our "Navy" looks, including the pompom hats but can you imagine us walking through New york like this? haha and then the "Photo Taking" part; We stood in the middle of a busy street where we were jumping up and down but somehow we couldn't match our paste! When one of us was "Up" the other one was "Down" people on the street ended up laughing with tears in their eyes.. Wait.. WE ended up laughing with tears in our eyes our selfs :)
The behind the scenes Video, we totally forgot we were being filmed! But I guess you get a good impression of a FROUFROUU~COCOROSA photoshoot ;) X
