Speed update! A few days ago I did another shoot for those awesome peeps at Australian Ink Magazine. I got given full creative license to do what I wished and I always have the most fun that way!
Anyway, here’s some make-up porn for you guys.

What I covet this week…

Scarves are pretty much my signature outfit piece. I found this gorgeous over sized pleated scarf in a Melbourne boutique called Alphaville and since it’s the Summer in my hemisphere right now it’s a tad too hot for my usual outfit layering. Oh how I wish Australia had a cooler climate! I don’t belong here, I tell you. In case you were wondering, the fabulous lipstick shade I’m wearing is ‘Countessa Fluorescent’ by Lime Crime Makeup. It’s a real head-turner!


Next on my recently acquired list are these leather lace-up platforms from ZU. What can I say? I love the cut-out detailing and the streamlined shape mixed with the chunky heel and platform. And, they were a bargain. Double threat ;)

What a crazy few months it has been! As always, I am keeping myself busy and preoccupied. Sorry it’s been so long in between posts but I just haven’t had the time to sit on the computer longer than 5 minutes! I have some exciting projects in the works and to start with I did the make-up for Ruby Rose who will be gracing the cover of the November issue of Australian Ink Magazine. I jetted to Sydney back in late August for the shoot, and while there I also got to meet and rub lotion into the lovely Didier Cohen (clothing label ‘Industrie’s main man). I jumped at the chance to work with both Ruby and the amazing Photographer Jason Ierace, who has shot everyone from Dave Grohl to Helena Christensen. Talk about hyper-excitement on my part! Brent came along for the ride and took some behind the scenes pics for me on location at the Ivy. A big thank you to Editor Vanessa Morgan for the opportunity! If you’re in Australia, keep an eye out for Issue 3 of Australian Ink Magazine, out in all newsagents on November 20th! Until then, here are some pictures to tide you over…

We did a few different looks, including a smokey eye with a bold lip, and a natural look with neutral lips and eyes.

The crew – Photographer Jason Ierace, Creative Director Rob Loughridge, Stylist Marina Didovich.

Love the colours and styling. The dresses and accessories were to die for, I was pretty much drooling!

I have seen a few of the finished shots and they look super hot but I’m going to hold out on posting until the mag is released!

It’s been a long time since I’ve updated! I’m still alive! I’ll post really soon with details and have loads of new portfolio shots to share that I’m very happy with.
Brent and I had an amazing time in Sydney for the ‘It’s Burlesque’ photo tour, and the team we worked with were amazing. The tour will be heading over to Melbourne on September 27th-28th to continue our trail of feathers and glitz – book here if you want to join in on the madness and get pretty pictures! There are also talks of Adelaide dates in November, so let me know if you’re from Adelaide and might be keen in booking!
Now, I promise I’ll update properly soon! I leave you with a snapshot featuring lovely ladies from the Sydney tour!

Meet Jade- our fabulous stylist, Mercy St Just – our fave Australian Burlesque star, Lyndall Vile -the most amazing hair stylist you will ever meet and moi.
