HOTEL PARADISO
SPELL & THE GYPSY COLLECTIVE S15/16 CAMPAIGN
Beautiful shoot in Rawa Island, off the coast of Malaysia. Tears welled in my eyes when we left the island… Most blissful dayz, with blissful people. I will treasure my days there forever, maybe one day i shall return to it’s peaceful shores.
HAIR: Kept things pretty simple – island vibe hair, salty and textured. I prepped with anti.gravity spray by Kevin Murphy, hot tongs to add controlled curl to the hair, then textured it up with some resort.spray by Kevin Murphy.
MAKEUP: a mixture of YSL foundation & MAC face & body, BECCA liquid illuminser in Opal. NARS eye colours.
BODY: Sugarbaby Beauty instant body bronzer cream, nails by Beach Toes By Sambora.

BYRON BRIDES 2015
A selection of pics from some of the Byron Bay wedding’s i’ve done over the past year… :)
Wedding season is pretty epic in Byron! – Im pretty much booked out every weekend from September through to Dec, it’s a busy but wonderful time! …i get to see so many happy brides looking so beautiful! I did most of the HAIR in this blog except for one wedding (long haired blonde bride Chantelle, walking down isle with her dad, me on makeup & @Jarrah_Hustler_Hair). The lovely Alexis (@spicymelons on instagram) does a lot of the makeup at the weddings i am involved in. When there’s too many faces for me to do all on my own, I call upon Alexis or Jarrah (@jarrah_hustler_hair),Ashlea Penfold or Ava Belle Bridal.
As Saturday approaches, so does another wedding, lots of love and happiness to all the Brides out there this weekend!
(Thank-you to the brides for letting me share your photos on my Blog, much love xxx)

Spell & The Gypsy Collective Sept 2015
Such a special blog post this one… first trip to USA, shooting in the most amazing house with the most epic crew! Interior decor heaven exists… a world of beauty hidden in the streets of L.A. Shooting with Mimi was the cutest experience ever, a delightful little fairy floating through the clay walls and the cactus plants… walking over boulders buried in turquoise swimming pools that surrounded the lounge… everything was oversized… i sank into the couches… wandered the vast hallways… wanting to never leave… savouring every moment i could… for a moment it was my world… who knew a house could hold such power over me… bring so much magic to my day… ?
Spelly worked her styling magic as always, the vibrant blues and purples prints popping amoungst the cream walls and beige decor… ! stunning!
All pics on this Blog post are behind the scene shots are from my iphone.
MIMI’S LOOK:
HAIR: I went for a relaxed, boho look… keeping her hair slightly dishevelled and volumous… I used Kevin Murphy ANTI.GRAVITY spray prior to tonging, then texturised her hair throughout the day using RESORT.SPRAY & POWDER.PUFF (which Mimi has said is one of her favourite KEVIN MURPHY products! Just powder it onto the roots of your hair to give grit & texture & volume to the hair!) I also added a few brown hair extensions to add some length and volume, from Medussa Hair Extensions.
MAKEUP: With Mimi’s makeup – I kept her fresh & dewy. Golds on the eye’s using URBAN DECAY – NAKED Pallet 1, Becca liquid highlighter mixed in with YSL foundation, Elizabeth Arden 8 hr cream on lips.

SPELL BRIDAL ’15
No words to describe this island except – Paradise. Was such a treat shooting the very first SPELL BRIDAL campaign here on Rawa Island with the sweet angel Louise Mikkelsen. I kept her look very natural, embracing the island vibe of tanned duey skin, and beachy blonde textured waves. Spelly worked her magic on-set creating a dream island bridal setting which was beautiful captured by Johnny Abegg, behind the camera.
Hope you enjoy this shoot as much as me! Dream bride!!
BODY: Sugarbaby Beauty (body bronzer)
FACE: MAC Face & body foundation mixed with YSL foundation, NARS ‘casino’ face bronzer, Becca liquid highlighter.
HAIR: Prepped with Kevin Murphy ANTI.GRAVITY spray, tonged with hot curling wand, finished with Kevin Murphy RESORT.SPRAY.
