70’S RETRO SPRING

AMERICAN GIRL
Hi everyone! I am excited to share just a few of the shots from a beach shoot I did last week.
When a person needs head shots, for their acting or modeling portfolio or registry with agents, they need to show different looks. This is one I call, American Girl. Actually, this is the closest representation of what Jennifer looked like when I first met her and decided that she could easily be America’s next top Super Model. (If you don’t believe me, you will after seeing her beach bikini shots!)
She reminds me of the models from the 90’s such as Cindy Crawford or Kathy Ireland. Even Eva Mendez in some other shots. She’s super tall and fabulous and makes me feel short and inadequate but I like her so much!
I think you can’t get more American than western boots, daisy dukes, a tank top and cowboy hat…dressed up, of course with a $30 tube of Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy lip stick in the color Envious.
I was kind of going for the old school Guess girl look from back in the day. This shoot kind of proves that the best accessory is natural beauty…when at all possible!
We’ve done other projects together, but this day was very low key and fun, and I hope to do more and Jennifer is hoping to land some modeling and acting jobs as well in the near future.

D-I-Y HOLLYWOOD GLAMOURPUSS VANITY AREA
I stumbled upon a blogger’s dream! Yesterday we went to my sister-in-law’s house for Easter. When I saw her new Hollywood style d-i-y vanity project, I decided I just had to do a blog post on it!
She had recently started adding tiny blings to her lip glosses and lipsticks. Since bling is addictive, the project grew into adding pearl buttons to an organizer tray.
When she couldn’t find a nice larger oval tray…she decided to purchase an oval mirror, remove it from the frame it came in and convert it!
By adding black felt to the bottom, and black and rhinestone pieces to the edges, she created her own, large sized custom vanity tray.
She then opted to deck out her own vanity mirror because nice embellished ones are impossible to find. The bling added to the edges of the mirror helps to add to the finished look! I recently used a wall mirror for my perfumania tray, but had never thought of anything this elaborate!
The vanity chair was purchased online and helps to complete the glammy special morning spot!
I love this vanity area, and it has motivated me to set a deadline of May 1st for my own master bathroom re-vamp! My bathroom is going to be black and white and this look will fit perfectly with my recent master bedroom re-vamp.
I snapped a few pictures of other great ideas in her house, and those posts will be coming up later this month!
