FIRST STYLING SHOOT!

I got to style my own photoshoot for Dalliance Magazine. Fortunately, of the owners just so happened to stumble across my instagram page 'styledbybreanna' for all of my outfit sets that I make on Polyvore and anything fashion/styling related. We began talking, discussing how I could contribute to the brand and then this amazing opportunity arise, and obviously I couldn't resist. Here is an insight from the entire shoot, i.e. the mood board  the brands I reached out too, planning, organising, as well as some sneak peek photos from the shoot.

We decided to go for a Sports Luxe theme...

Searched for the perfect model...(Terri from Giant) 

Hair and Make-up Look? (I was inspired to go for a sporty, clean, minimal, boyish, sleek look)

Location? (Somewhere industrial and unique) (Jordana, one of the young and EXTREMELY talented photographers found this location for me)

Brainstorming labels and looks.. (Sourced from Whistles Boutique, Eska Alikai, Holystone, Elliott Label, Stylists Own: Asos, Lovisa, Nike) 

Outcome: (Sneakpeek photos from the shoot!!) (Photography: Jordana  and Shabana Azeez,Make-up and Hair by Makyaj Model) 

Keep your eyes peeled for the final and edited shots for the editorial for Dalliance Magazine, coming out in the September issue! Xx

Formal Outfit

I had my formal last Friday on the 17th May, 2013. Like most outfits, I pre-plan months before, so this allowed me to purchase a dress from New York, from a store Reformation. I stumbled upon their online store, I was then obsessed. They all had such unique designs and they all oozed off a sense of confidence and coolness. As I was browsing through and stalking through all their items, I instantly fell in-love with the purchased the 'Charles Dress', my jaw was literally on the floor. I noticed that the material was made out of Spandex material which was the only worry about the dress, and also because Reformation uses recycled materials, however I thought I had to risk it all, the material and the shipping from New York, America to Adelaide, Australia just because of the exquisite and sexy cut and design of the dress. I also knew that no one would have my dress so I thought it was a must-have. I then thought of things to pair it with, so I paired it with a Mimco black and gold clutch for $79 reduced from $179, Nine West heels which I initially thought were some high-end brand that I would not be even able to afford for a number of years, which were only $80 from $140 and a Bardot ear cuff which was only $15 that shocked so many people because they thought it would have been, again, from a high-end brand that would cost an incredible amount. I adore the Bardot ear cuff because I initially was contemplating to persuade my parents to buy the Ryan Storer cuff ($220+) (as seen on Miranda Kerr and Lara Bingle) but I thought that would be ridiculous to spend that amount on formal as all the costs added up. I not only thought about the accessories, with the stylist mind-set I have, so I also planned on what nail colour, make-up and hair I would have. Of course, nothing went to plan with that because you obviously can't get what you exactly want. I planned to have black nails with a gold sparkly ring finger and a bronzy, golden smokey eye and my hair curled on the side an partly pinned at the back.

Here are some photos below.
