Styling for the hair for photography workshop with Alan Howard

Just a few images from a hair for photography workshop I styled with Alan Howard Hair & Beauty Supplies , Montana Lowery and Y Salon.  All the models' hair looked fabulous, made me want to employ someone to do mine like this every morning!

Shoes to buy now

If you don't own a pair of these, why on earth not?   These are the Ugg-haters' answer to heavenly, comfy and versatile daytime footwear.  Buy them now and wear with tapered trousers and silk blouses, tailored shorts with a smart tee or keep it casual with jeans and a slouchy cashmere jumper.

I love these looks below snapped by Tommy Ton during Couture Week in Paris and Sydney Fashion Week.  They're the perfect example of the outfit styles to compliment your new shoes.

Here's another campaign I styled recently, this was for NCFE College Newcastle. Images are up on their website now so thought I'd share them with you.

Men's style blogs

I love this nifty little infographic from Complex , they're offering us all a little direction on which blogs to read to suit our tastes in men's fashion and style. The only blog I think is missing on here is TheTieGuy on Tumblr A picture blog of course, (he'd be in the 'Can you read?' 'No' section), he focuses mostly on preppy menswear (my favourite), the pictures are always inspiring and he genuinely knows his stuff. Worth a read...or view my friends. If Ivy League/preppy style is not your thing, then discover which blogs are best suited for you below.

Teenage kicks

My teen wear shoot featured in the centre page spread for the Metrocentre Summer magazine.

This was such a fun project, first time I'd worked with kids on a photoshoot, they were lots of fun, super polite and very professional.  Who said never work with kids? Pah!

Stella McCartney Resort 2013

Quite possibly the coolest, most exciting thing in fashion at the minute.  Stella McCartney's Resort 2013 presentation.  Instead of opting for the usual catwalk show as a means of presenting her Resort collection, McCartney chose instead to host a carnival themed garden party.  Guests were treated to the first glimpse of the Resort 2013 collection as well as carnival games, a veggie barbecue and all to the tune of a New Orleans brass band. Check this out!
