Glitz, Glamour and Gold - Anna Dello Russo for H&M

Photos by Steph Yt. of Ginger and Lace & Bobbi Rose Photography

Matte hues of creamy gold mixed with a bold mediterranean turquoise sums up the palette for Japanese Vogue Editor Anna Dello Russo's capsule collection for H&M. The extravagant accessory range contains an abundance of glittering gold trinkets, big sparkling gems and crystal encrusted ornaments.  The blue backdrop and gold baroque motif is rumored to have been inspired by a wardrobe drawer Ms. Dello Russo owns at home in Italy, and has been replicated for the bags, cases and boxes of the collection. Seems like for Ms. Dello Russo, inspiration is never far from home. Though the collection is dripping with lavishness, don't let the glitz and gold fool you into thinking that the pieces are at all ridiculously priced. 

Sexy, glitzy and dramatic the collection is out in H&M stores now from October 4th onwards.

My Shoot w. Laura - H&M FW12 Collection

Photos by Steph Yt from Bobbi Rose Photography

Hello my lovely readers!

I'm back again with the complete set of photographs I took of the lovely Laura Densley in H&M's wonderful fall winter pieces. Sumptuous knits, glittering gem-stone littered skirts and rich green velvet tops decorate yet again a beautiful collection by H&M. The shoot above is actually my first proper studio shoot ever and was exceedingly fun to shoot! There's just something about being able to control every component of lighting in a studio-based environment that gives one such a powerful sense of omnipotence. Laura was a dream to work with, always ready with yet another gorgeous cheeky smile and twinkle in her eye. 

Let me know what you think loves,

Hello all my lovely readers!

Hope you don't think I've forgotten you as I most certainly have not and never will. It's just been a crazy hectic weekend, I'd left to Singapore for more than a week (stuffing myself with the BEST FOOD POSSIBLE) as well as had friends visiting town. Life has been crazy crazy as usual and I've been using the past few days catching up with emails, photo-editing and blogging! Up above is a shoot I did with the stunning Laura Densley featuring clothes from H&M's AW12 Collection! Be prepared for a lovely scattering of shots in the next post of the collection, think neon brights and sparkling gems!

Hope you like the shot I took! Let me know!
