Day 35


Sooo I ran out of outfits and had to put together a dress for another shoot in Germany, was so much fun and youthful. Only had 2meters of fabric, so had to come up with something really fast.
I chose this outfit because I haven't catered for younger girls, plus..I'm always excited when I get to wear sneakers :)
Location: Marburg, Germany


                             

Quick tip
I would not recommend a dress like this to an apple shaped figure as the detail at the waist will call too much attention to the waist. So, all the slim waisted figures will look pretty in this dress, whether they have hips or not, it will suit them all :)

My experience
Soon fun :D
Really had a good time, had to keep running to different locations to get some sunlight. Aaah, it was sooo much fun. It wasn't that cold either, so running around without stockings just added to this beautiful day.  It really was a great day..

Day 34



Spontaneous trip to a town called Heidelberg, so was jus walking around a beautiful castle and the garden was so pretty, not really green just yet but nonetheless it was great :)
Outfit wasn't really planned, so just snapped the outfit of the day.

Location: Heidelberg, Germany





Quick tip
A pencil skirt suits an hourglas, inverted-shaped and rectangle shaped figure perfectly. It's pretty body fitted so emphasis on the waist and hips will be pretty evident.

My experience
This was so relaxing. It was a bit fresh, but the walk in the garden was so peaceful. Didn't plan this shoot, so it was really laid-back and spontaneous, so decided to post.
The garden was huge and had a number of secret locations, so it was fun getting lost in a type of maze. This is a garden I'd love to see again in summer :)

Day 33



This shoot was very different from all the others. I don't think I was so aware of the temperature like I was for this shoot..had to think hard so that I don't change my expression as it was very, very cold.
The outfit I used for this shoot wasn't planed as I had to wear a jersey because i wouldn't have made it any other way..
it came out pretty good though.

Location: Gladenbach, Germany.

                         

                           
     
Quick tip
This outfit can be worn by all body types. The waistline should just be shifted to the smallest part of the torso for the apple figured body type. Further, this outfit can be made as classy or laid back, depending on the accessories added.

My experience
This was a very difficult shoot because it was cold, but I managed to pull through until the end. It was a really nice shoot regardless and I must say I was smiling in most of the shots, so it wasn't that bad after all. I had fun and it was so worth fighting against the cold, just to make it work.

I'm not really calling this a day, just taking some pictures of the location search, think it made me change my mind regarding the outfit I'll be wearing here.
Had to find the right location and also because it's chilly here, how I can dress so that I don't freeze.

Location: Sinkershauser, Germany


Quick tip
This outfit suits all body types, the apple figured ladies will have to place the belt on the smallest part of the upper torso for the best results. You can't go wrong with this winter look :)

My experience
It was so chilly but the walk through the forest/woods was amazing. I was dressed for it, so it was really refreshing. Really had a chilled time finding the perfect location for the next shoot.
It should be fun..

Day 32



This is my last shoot in Bali..
Had so many outfits planned but haven't had something dark to break all the whites, so here it is.
Had some shade so this was ideal.

Location: Kerobokan, Bali





Quick tip
This dress is ideal for an hourglass, inverted-triangle, rectangular and pear shaped figure. It's not really tight, more a comfortable dress that can be worn when unsure of the dress code I'd say, just how you accessorise it will determine the dress code. To be honest, it's a more casual dress.

My experience
Relaxed shoot, think I was just programming my mind on the next destination, so no real stress here.
Everything done in Bali is more chilled, so wasn't even trying too hard to make this shoot work.
It was a nice day, so the sleeves weren't such a bad idea..like I said, it just worked, so this is the outcome.

Day 31



So I'm on my way to the pool and decided to post something I would personally wear if I was going out to swim.
This outfit's white and light, so really self-explanatory for the beach.

Location: Kerobokan, Bali

 

Quick tip
This outfit is pretty basic, so whereas body shapes are concerned, I would suggest an hourglass, rectangle and inverted-shaped figure will be more suitable. However, if the dress was a bit loose all other figures will be able to wear it as no emphasis will be on the imperfections.

My experience
This was really chilled, didn't really have to do much work for this shoot, it was already late afternoon, so sun wasn't direct or harsh, thus making it so much more worthwhile. 
This outfit is more for those who don't like too many crazy things and like to keep things simple, so had to add it to these tips.

Day 30


This mini shoot was at a beautiful door that I thought was fitting for the outfit I had in mind..
wasn't really planning this, because here if you just find something nice, the chances of you finding it again is so rare..so I had to wake up really early to get a few shots in before sunrise.

Location: Sanur, Bali

                              
                 
                            
Quick tip
Any type of silk/satin fabric when fitted to the body, will unfortunately expose any type of imperfection you might have. If you are an hourglass, inverted-triangle or a rectangular shaped figure, this dress will suit you perfectly. However, if you are those shapes but still have some kind of imperfection anywhere, rather avoid wearing such fabrics when it's body fitting. Anything loose will make any lady look feminine and that is the plan. Will organise something more fitting for other figures soon.

My experience
I woke up at 6am to take these pictures and that time it was already very hot, so as you can see in the pictures, I am glowing a bit..also, have some highlight on but I had to do this as fast as possible because it was extremely humid. It was fun, felt more relaxed and chilled, also because I didn't have to move much :)
I loved the colour of the door, so knew this outfit would work here and make it look more chilled because to be honest this outfit should be worn as evening wear somewhere at a restaurant, but the setting changed the whole feel of it and that was the plan:)

Day 29



It was a really humid day and was drizzling the whole day, so I had to wait for the right time to take some pictures..
To me, this was a dreamy shoot, I think I was a bit sleepy before I took these pictures, but nonetheless I'm still in Bali and it's so green, so just had a laid-back shoot, no hassles ;)

Location: Kerobokan Bali
Jewellery by NamiPend




Quick tip
This look will fit an hourglass, inverted-triangle, rectangle and pear-shaped figure. An apple figure should place the waistband of the skirt above the waist area, taking attention off the waist.
But to me, this outfit will suit all body types, it's very classy and sophisticated.

My experience
This was truly a relaxed shoot, not heavy makeup was done or hair was stressed upon, it was just something you'd put on when you're having a relaxed day, in town. Had no hassle putting this outfit together.
It was chilled and that's why I liked it so much

Day 28



I did a bit of sight-seeing, like I've been doing everyday these days :)
Had to put away the fancy long skirts as I had to sit on a motorbike for not less than 1 and a half hours, so everything these days are more casual and relaxed for beach vibes.

I had to get dressed in a minute, so outfit wasn't really thought through because I didn't know where I was going, but nonetheless..had to get dressed just to leave the house :D

Location: Bali center


                           

Quick tip
This outfit can be worn by all body types, as my skirt wasn't too tight (extreme weight loss in this heat) a pear shaped would fit it and it would sit perfectly. As the top isn't tight, an apple shaped figure will make this outfit work too. This outfit will work on all figures because nothing is really emphasized.

My experience
I actually didn't have an idea where I'll be going today, so was chilled. Main concern was not getting hot, so anything that wasn't tight on my body would be ideal, so managed to make it work in that regard.
Bali is beautiful and very chilled, you literally can't get worked up here, so had a relaxed day, spent more than 4hours on a bike, so was exhausted afterwards, but it was so worth the day out ;)

Day 27


I'm in Bali, was in Denpasar driving around on a motor bike, just sight-seeing in town.
Couldn't really have a decent shoot because the wind literally blew me away, so what I have I'll gladly share.
I chose this outfit just to reflect the sun, as the weather was crazy. For example, blazing sun and then rain, then the wind was blowing- the shoot was bound to be interesting :)

Location: Denpasar, Bali (beach area and rice fields)
Bag by Amor Leather Trading 





Quick tip
This dress is a plain pencil dress with some detailed work on the side, any type of pencil dress will suit an hourglass or an inverted triangle shaped figure. Rectangle shaped figure can wear this outfit although not much emphasise will be on the waist area.

My experience
In my opinion, wearing a dress on an island and driving around with a motor bike isn't really an ideal outfit, but I had to start it with something beachy that is decent, I know tomorrow will be very different.
This was fun, although I wasn't really prepared to take pictures today, but had to share my surroundings with you..
Bali is packed with tourist even off season, but managed to take some shots without them :D
