"I Love Playing With Fire "

Recently I have been OBSESSED with the 1970's. I have always had an interest in the 70's since I watched a documentary called 'No Fun'  that was part of a documentary series called "Dancing in the street" and explored the different eras of rock music from the 50's to the 90's. It was really interesting to me to see this whole different world of music and fashion and Ideals all at the same time. from then on my interest in the 70's era only snowballed until it hit its peak about a month ago.

The inner Cherri Curry/ Joan Jett/ Suzi Quatro within me was alive when I styled and shot a shoot with two of my friends centered around the 1970's and the feeling of  empowerment and determination surrounding the 1970's women's liberation movement. This shoot gives off a vibe of Girl Gangs and rebellion portrayed by two young teenage girls.

I have this thing about looking at photos whilst listening to music that inspired the looks and the whole shoot itself and as I have done it in the past I'm not going to stop now. I think I'm going to make it a tradition with this blog.

So take a listen to this amazing song by the Runaways - I love playing with fire.

Below is the mood board I created for  this Shoot. Tell me If you feel the spirit of the 70's

Jess Wears : Vintage dusty rose blouse, Floral Skater skirt from Kmart, white knee high socks and Soles Brand Black platform shoes.

Christiane Wears: Vintage sleeveless collated top, Black skater skirt, Vintage Western red Belt, White knee high socks and Rubi shoes gunmetal and black glitter platform shoes.


Hope you enjoyed viewing these photos, I had a great time shooting them. Also HUGE thanks to my beautiful friends Jess and Christiane who were perfect models.

Typical Girls

Today's outfit is inspired by The Slits, specifically their song 'Typical Girls'. If you haven't heard it why are you still reading this? There is a link below.STOP reading NOW! I said NOW! OMG by the time I count to three you better have clicked on the link below or else. Now what is it going to be. O.K I warned you

Typical girls get upset to quickly
Typical girls can't control themselves
Typical girls are so confusing
Typical girls - you can always tell
Typical girls don't think too clearly
Typical girls are all predictable

Typical girls try to be
Typical girls very well

Oh good you have come to your senses.

Anyway I don't know why but I feel like this outfit embodies the song.

Thrifted Dress from Red Cross  

I tied a knot at the front because it was too long for my liking 

Thrifted Vintage Guess Jacket from Asama foundation 

The Love,Barbie and Teddy bear badges I made but the 7 up badge I bought 

I am thinking about opening an Etsy store selling badges and hair clips and possibly necklaces and rings out of some vintage buttons and charms I have in my craft cupboard at home.  

I dressed up my Litas  with  left over purple flowers that I had from a DIY headband I made. 

I think I am going to keep them like this and just wear them with the flowers still attached because I kinda like them like this.

I'm sure that some people probably think this is sacrilegious towards litas/ Jeffery Campbell but you know whatever. I like them so yeah.

Sleepy time now
