Spring Photoshoot

                             

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Spring is here and I'm so excited! This winter has gone on long enough, it's time to ditch the winter woollies and grab onto that cute spring jacket. 

Spring is seen as the season of new starts, new life and beauty. It is a time to be one with nature and appreciate its pure grace. I picked the photo shoot that best expressed all these qualities. Spring is a burst of new life, not just literally but for everyone, it is a time to start fresh. In this way our models found the joy of Spring and explored a fresh new romantic pathway. 

*Laughing the days away with loved ones.*

*Rejoicing with nature.*

*Let your feeling take you wherever they want to go.*

A Touch of Magic!

A Touch of Magic

The VCR Team got together today and used a little bit of imagination to create a fabulous , magical look.

The Country Rose, Myself and our beautiful model , Tiger Lily, (Who is always helping us behind the scenes of the blog!) designed this look , exploring a 'hippy' style look. 

This Glorious ,vintage rose petal and ribbon detailed patterned skirt, with a lovely waist line, structured pleats and its lovely length. It is the highlight of the outfit for me, and adds the true touch of genuine vintage.

We used detailed eye makeup, highlighting key areas of the eye, and a simple 'line and flick' of eyeliner. We used forest green eye shadow as our main source of colour to the eyes .

We attempted to curl the hair into natural waves. The Relaxed curls creates the free vibe we where aiming for.

We paired the skirt with a simple white knitted jumper.

As a cute little extra touch we added a gold butterfly ring.

The skirt is a truly great fabric it is flexible and it flows. It is one of those skirts that you can do a magical princess twirl in!

Well all that is left to say is Thank you so much to Tiger Lily, She truly is stunning!! I hope You have enjoyed this little surprise , out of the blue article!

Carrie Bradshaw Inspired Outfits!

Carrie Bradshaw inspired outfits!

Our latest telly obsession has been over the addictive and adorable, "The Carrie Diaries" - half because of the drama, and half because of her fashion sense!

Carrie Bradshaw has an effortless style. She somehow mixes patterns that should not go, but do! Her style also somehow manages to be flirty, girly, bold and professional at the same time! So today we tried to channel her style and create some outfits. Ours are a little more wearable, but are still inspired by outfits that Carrie wears on the show. If you want to know where any of the clothes are from, there is a list at the bottom :)

Look 1, The Everyday one 

Carrie always looks fashionable, no matter where she is going. To school she tends to wear casual but unique clothes.

We chose a bright top with big flowers, and added the blue pinafore dress. The pinafore makes the outfit look very 80's. We added plain coloured tights that have small pink polka dots on it, to add a little pop of colour, and a simple beanie hat. The Pinafore has such an adorable back - adding a unique detail!

Look 2 , The party one.

This one channels Carries outgoing adventurous taste in clashing patterns and designs. Its very brave and daring, but will sure make you stand out from the crowd! The trick to making it more wearable is to choose a common coloured background. 

To make it less of a pattern overload, we tied a knot in the shirt, creating a nice bit of layering. This relaxes the look a lot more. The same thing can be achieved by wearing an undertop, or using a plain belt to split up patterns. 

Look 3,The work look

Carries internship in the city makes for just another event to wear killer clothes to! Her works clothes are still vibrant and fun, but have more of a professional touch to them. We paired this gorgeous polka dot shirt with the white and blue striped belt. 

To separate the patterns we used a black thick belt, and a chunky red bead necklace. The necklace is probably my favourite part, as this dash of colour just makes the outfit pop!

Look 4, The summer one

Even if your not spending the summer in New York city, why not dress like you are? Carries summer style is all about fun and bright colours. Here we picked out some gorgeously bright shorts with pastel flowers on them, beautiful patterned detail at the bottom making them look vintage. 

We paired this with a simple black and white top. We accessorized it up with a gorgeous pair of sunglasses, which had bold bright stripes on them. 

Hello there! Summers calling...

Look 5, The dressy occasion

Lets all admit it, the only reason we watched those prom episodes were to see what Carrie was going to choose to wear. All of the dresses she chose were beautiful, but always had a unique twist to them! (Who can forget her dress in the season 2 finale, want!!!) 

We wanted this look to be girly and flirty, but also unique and different.  We took this simply beautiful deep burgundy dress, note the lovely lace design at the top of the dress, and decided to jazz it up using a bright white and black spotted belt. We  then matched this (sort of!) with some black spotted tights. To accessorize we added some veeery big grey hoop earrings. 

Look  6 , The home, casual clothes.

For our final piece , we put together a simple, yet clever look. 

The look consists of vintage style floral shorts, from a vintage shop. Matched with a gorgeous denim crop top. To make this outfit stand out more we added a neon necklace saying the word "love" on, with cute little charms hanging from it.

This look is quirky , but simple enough to wear around the house or out with friends.

Thankyou for reading, we hope you enjoyed our Carrie Bradshaw inspired outfits. If you decide to channel Carrie one day, post a picture of it on Instagram and use the Hashtag #VCRcarrie and we will make sure to take a look, we would love to see them! Comment your favourites and make sure to share this with your friends. 

Lots of love,
