Pinocchia ft Bleached Denim Jacket

 

  A Modern Fairytale

 

 

 now Pinnocchia feels sexy...


and will shake her hair forever and ever and ever...


and nobody will ever see if Pinocchia lied about something or anything
 
Outfit: Denim Jacket: Topshop (similar here), Silver Skirt: Whyred top worn (& torn) as skirt (real skirts here), Denim & Raffia shoes: Topshop (not similar but raffia wedges here) . Embellished Collar: COS similar here, bra: Oysho (similar here), Bracelet: etsy.

Disclaimer: No real nosejobs have been performed before/during/after this shoot. Pinnocchia will share the nosy spotlight among women such as Cleopatra, Rosie Huntington-Whitely, Florence Welch and our common-day Billionaress Giselle Bünchen. 

Disclaimer 2: I've broken the "sophisticated women" rule by showing both cleavage AND legs. I don't dress up like that IRL but I needed to amp up the 'sexy' factor for the weird fairytale,

My inspiration:
Fashionhash post on blinding booties made me wanna wear silver skirts:

The WaterSnake ft. Equipment Snakeprint Blouse

Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again. —Buddha



Outfit: Equipment turquoise snakeprint blouse, New Look Maxiskirt, COS: bangles...obviously no shoes.

When I first saw my Equipment turquoise snakeprinted blouse, I had this idea of a turquoise watersnake slithering around in tropical waters: so there was my theme, although a tropical journey is not on the cards for me yet. I wore a similar 'manrepeller' maxiskirt as the one in the hula dancer post because I didn't want to ruin expensive clothes in muddy Dutch water. The maxiskirts are dead cheap for £14.99 and they give that romantic edge. Equipment is expensive, but a shopbob sale helped to take the plunge (pun intended)

I have to add Florence and the Machine today, not only because the phots have that mysterious water-nymphy theme going on but because of the water...

1950s Housewife ft. the Carven Top

Top: Carven, Skirt: Zara, Shoes: Topshop, Bracelet: belt by Primark; Cos & House of Harlow. Leather Cuff (alos in 1st pic: Marni), Sunglasses: Spitfire Weekend , Bag: vintage
Same as before
I wanted to take my new Carven top to the max by combining it with almost every SS12 trend there is, resulting to a slightly caricature image of the 1950s housewife.

I found it fitting to leave the curlers in for the idea of the housewife in her holiday cabin getting ready to socialize. To upp the 50s kitch factor I picked plastic Ikea cups in a bright colour for the Tupperware factor.

Sharp eyes will see I am missing one shoe, ;D, resulting into a weird cinderella-effect. Well, if my character 'the 50s housewife' has been on her cocktails, she must be slightly drunk, hence missing her shoe. In real life I have a pair: who needs a prince to bring back her shoes anyway?

Oh, I bought this skirt this winter and I was totally worried I wouldn't fit it anymore: I gained some weight because I had been on the verge of depression. Good thing the skirt still fits!

(PS: no real alcohol was used during this shoot: only a virgin mango/orange blend for vitamine C)

PS 2: I'm on a sale-announcing roll. If you like to try the Carven brand (or another fave of mine, Vanesso Bruno) you could head to mywardrobe.com as they have a secret-insiders sale going on right now of 40% all this season with MYSALEPREVIEW122  which makes this top below just €51.57 instead of the normal €130:
