Fables in Fashion

I know this is kinda of late, but I never got around to sorting through the behind the scene photos Toby managed to take during the photoshoot, so I figured I’d share a few of them here

I love the studio we shot in, so much space and great lighting! If only I had a place as great as this to do my weekly Lookbooks

Getting interviewed, but please note my lovely makeup artist’s dog! His name is Frankie, and he is the friendly dog ever!! I absolutely loved him <3 <3

Getting my makeup done, this is the 2nd time in my entire life I’ve had someone else do my makeup! I’m still on the fence as to whether I like it or would just rather do it myself…

The set up, time to get shooting!

My first costume, Kozue. I wish I could afford all the lights and reflectors used for my own photoshoots!

That’s a wrap It was an awesome experience I will be forever grateful for! If you would like to see more photos, head over to Extreme Motion~

So if you’ve been following me on twitter, you’ll know that this morning I woke up to find myself on the front page of The Sunday Age M Magazine! Which honestly left me in shock for a good few minutes :O

The article was about costuming in general, and I was lucky enough to be selected to represent cosplayers!

If you want to read the article, feel free to see it here online. It was a fantastic experience! Complete with my own hair/makeup artist, shooting in a massive studio! And for some reason despite all that, I was under the impression it would be a small article somewhere in the back of the magazine hehe.

I’ll be uploading some behind the scene photos from the shoot on my cosplay site sometime soon, so I’ll be sure to announce that here!

And I figured since it’s been published and completely out there, I’ve decided to go by my real name Celina instead of Sirene (a nickname I made up for my fashion/beauty blog). The original reason I decided on a nickname was because I didn’t want my IT websites to be confused with my fashion/cosplay, but I kept getting my friends so confused, I thought meh! Celina it is for everything

I need to send out my love and thanks to Sefie, one of my best friends! And it’s all thanks to her support and love that this happened in the first place!

Oh and for kicks, I went down to my local newsagency and took a photo, so I know it’s real! ahaha.

Last night was a lot of fun, I didn’t manage to get any outfit shots. Something I’ve been meaning to do for a while now. Probably for the best come to think of it, not easy to get the outfit, makeup and hair right whilst dashing from work to a fashion show in the car within 30 minutes! This Christmas, could I please just have more time?

Here are some select photos from the Harpers’ Bazaar runway show last night, and this time I managed to list out all the designers too! I think out of all the shows I attended this week, InStyle gets my vote~ Anyways, hope you enjoy the photos.

In the name of inspiration, about six months ago I started a look book for myself. Basically, I would cut out and collection pictures of anything related to fashion, makeup and style that I find inspiring. I suppose I should call my look book a Book of Inspiration or something more fitting, but creative names has never been my forte.

Naturally flipping through the various dresses that ended up on the Oscars red carpet was a must, and whilst I did manage to pick out a couple of looks I’d love to study closer, I instantly saw this dress by Elie Saab and loved it! I love how the top wraps beautifully around McAdam’s body, it’s like an elegant maxi dress, that doesn’t make her look pregnant.

So in the look book it goes!

I can’t wait till my Look Book is just brimming with inspiration, hundreds of blank pages to be filled! Let me know if you come across any other looks you find inspiring!
