OUTFIT: Double the Fun

Me and Nadia from FrouFrouu wearing all Pennyblack in New York!



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 ;)

I don't really know what to say besides a big thank you to Manhattan, their amazing team and all of you for reading my blog :)

Girls

Me, Yara and Cindy having a blast in Amsterdam!! Seriously I wish I would live closer to these two because they made me cry laughing!


Right now I'm still in New York, getting ready to fly back to Europe.. I got a bit of a cold, I guess the lack of sleep kicked in. But I hope it won't get any worse since the plan is that I will fly to Paris in a day or two.. I just really hope my cold won't get any worse!


So the photoshoot is a wrap after 3 days of hard work! I had such a blast and will post some more behind the scene photos soon.. 

The only bad thing is that some of my things went missing in the change of locations of the photo shoots :( 
My black studded lucette bag and some of my leggings.... I really really hope they show up soon...

New York make-up shoot day1

So as promised, some snaps of the 1st day of the photo shoot for a Cosmetics label taking place in New York!

I arrived Friday late afternoon in New York, it has been so good to be back! Friday evening we had the 1st meeting for the shoot to go over the details and Saturday I was picked up early morning to be at the set for make-up and styling at 8am.. It was a long day but I had so much fun and met great people, the whole team has been great and they really helped me to get over my nerves and did an amazing job!!


Sunday was the 2nd day of the shoot and was maybe one of the hardest days of my life haha.. it was 15 hours of make-up, styling and set changes and we worked non-stop!! For me it was so hard because I had hardly a break and had to be careful with the make-up.. We shot for a video too so it was kind of the first time for me to "act" which was really hard! I really really tried my best to give bursts of energy even when I was so tired!! I hope I can show some pics of the second day soon!


Right now I have to take a quick shower to get ready for the final day of video shooting!!


I still need to upload pictures from my meeting in Amsterdam with Yara and Cindy from This Chick got Style and comeovertothedarksidewehavecandy just before I left for New York! they gave me some of the best tips ever ;)

Monday March lookbook/poster

all photos by come over to the dark side we have candy

A little while ago I got to play model in a photoshoot for Monday March's Spring 2012 lookbook together with fashion bloggers Cindy, Anna and Mio and yesterday I finally received the much anticipated lookbook in the mail plus a gift bag full of goodies of the latest fall/winter collection and already a beautiful top from this collection!

The lookbook is a poster with on one side a big black and white print of us all together and on the other side a collage of all the different looks and outfits.

Everytime I look at the poster it really reminds me of the fun I had that day!! 

(more photos of the Monday March shoot here and here)

Teaser

Wearing; Monday March SS 2012 suit

I was so anxious to see the results of last weeks Monday March photo shoot and can't wait for the SS 2012 lookbook to come out! We still have to wait a little bit but I was lucky enough to be sent a little teaser of the shoot!

I'm wearing the set with the pink blazer (seen here) that I love so much and I have to say I love the trousers equally! This look made me feel so good, secure and beautiful and I think it somehow shows, no?

While waiting for SS 2012 we can already take a sneak into Monday March AW 2011 lookbook here.

I was modeling together with bloggers Anna from Overdose.am and Cindy from Come over to the dark side we have candy for their SS 2012 lookbook.

lots and lots of make up!

No need to say that I fell in Love with this blazer instantly!

Cindy's amazing shoes!

I really wish I knew where to get these brogues!

I had such an awesome day meeting these lovely gals, the team and the designer behind the Label! Seriously I can't wait to see the lookbook and for the clothes to come in stores already!
