Audrey Marnay’s Longchamp Spring Summer 2011 Ad Campaign

FILED IN Fashion Accessories Guide No Comments

This is just too good to be true! I was looking for the latest ad campaigns and this Longchamp Spring Summer 2011 ad fell into my hands. And I can’t miss the amazing opportunity to talk about it!

Starring Audrey Marnay, photographed by Patrick Demarchelier, the image suggests me an oasis of (unnecessary) fashion in the middle of nowhere. Pretty but also pretty useless. What am I to do with a gorgeous leather bag canoeing on an endless sea? Oh, I think I get it – Longchamp is what you need on a deserted island / world, isn’t it? (photo via)

Look Ma, No Photoshop!

FILED IN Style Consultant No Comments

This blog post is my homage to a photographic era of yester-year, the days before anyone had even heard of a little program called Adobe Photoshop, back when making a digital scan of your photo meant purchasing THOUSANDS of dollars in special equipment.  This didn’t mean people didn’t do crazily creative things to their images, Man Ray was creating images like his one titled “Kitty” over 60 years ago.

Photo by Man Ray circa mid-1900s.  Think about doing this one without photoshop.

Obviously special effects for the sake of the effect don’t make the images better, but in the world of creative expression every tool has power, and this post is all about creating images with three simple tools.  A camera, a lens, and a flash.

The Challenge!

Here’s the challenge, I’m going to post three images, each one was created in-camera with only limited cropping and color correction in Photoshop.   If you think you know the techniques I used to create them then post your guess in the comments!  To make it fair I posted a full equipment list I used for each image.

Hint – I did not use a fog machine and color effect was created in-camera.

Practical Winter Fashion for Men

FILED IN Fashion Accessories Online No Comments

Fashion – whether it’s men’s or women’s – is often seen as either practical or beautiful; you have to choose just one. In colder seasons like this one, though, you want your style to be both: sharp enough to be noticed, sensible enough to brave the cold outside. This usually means skipping the ‘collections’ of most brands and building up your personal winter arsenal of style.

Booted Bravery
Winter, for most men, means cold days marching around city slush. This might pose a hazard to your delicate loafers and wing tips, which is why now’s a good time to swap them out with boots – yes, the big, chunky Doc Marten variety.

It’s hard to question the sheer practicality and toughness of boots, especially in a season as harsh as winter. Many have linings t Read the full article…

The Perfect Camera And Laptop Bag The Union Street Bag

FILED IN Fashion Accessories Guide No Comments

My love for messenger bags is no secret for you – I’ve openly expressed my admiration and wanting for many crossbody bags along the years. However, this time it’s not just that – it’s more than just finding yet another messenger bag absolutely irresistible!

It’s a camera and laptop messenger bag! And while I’ve been known for taking my husband’s shirts and wearing them with an oversized belt, leggings and boots or jeans and boots, this time, I’d like him to have this messenger bag so I can take that also and wear it to eternity!

Have you seen those un-stylish, un-fashionable DSLR cameras bags (or backpacks)? There’s nothing nice and friendly about them! While this – this <
