Photoshoot: Pin Up/Headshots

Hi All!!

As mentioned previously before I did a photoshoot with photographer Neal Shaw this weekend and here are a few shots from it...

I love working with Neal, he is so talented and fun to work with. We have previously worked together before so I knew I would gain some great images for my portfolio. You can see more of his work or more of my modelling here on my website. Other shots taken by him are with the, bridal, bowler hat and orange dress.

What do you think?

Nails: In the Nude

Hi All!!

Yesterday I changed my nail colour to a nude shade purely because I had a photoshoot booked and it wouldn't have been ideal to have those Christmas themed nails that I showed you all here. I prefer to have nails that stand out but it's aso nice to have something simple and calming every now and then....

Nails Inc: 'London'

As mentioned above my photoshoot yesterday was with the talented Neal Shaw and you can check out his work here. Here is a sneak preview of one of the outfits I wore....

Leotard: River Island
Hat: Funfancydress.com
Suspenders/Stockings: Birmingham Market
Lipstick: MAC 'Russian Red'

If you are following me on Twitter (@Doma_Nikki) then you will have already seen this photo and possibly one of the first shots of the shoot. I won't post it just yet as I am waiting to receive more images from the shoot so that I can do a full blog post! I am so excited to show you all though so watch this space!

Outfit Inspiration

Hi All!!

The Christmas part season is almost amongst us, I think I will be posting a few inspirational outfits as the weeks go by. You never know you may just see something that might perfect your very own party outfit.

The first outfit is something I would wear as we all know I love sparkly things.....

Heels: Schuh

So all items are high street brands, I think this is an easy look to achieve. I just adore these sparkly shoes as you might remember I own myself and I just can't get enough of them. Pefect heels for Christmas outfits.

Video Blog: My Hair Journey Part 2

Hi All!!

If you remember earlier this year I did a video post on my YouTube channel to show you all what my hair looks like without wearing any hair extensions; I also did a blog post here. Well today I have posted another video for you to see the progress of my hair journey so far, check it out...

Firstly I wanted to say what might work for me may or may not work for others. This is purely from my own experience with using these products.

I like how in the comparison photos you can see the difference in texture, my hair looks healthier and you can see a slight difference in length.

Here are some more photos...

Here are the Products I use.....

I am so happy my hair is getting back on track, i've got a long way to go yet but i've started somewhere and happy with the progress. Anyone got any tips?

What do you think of my hair's progress so far?

Outfit of the Night: Tailored Red

Hi All!!

Here is a recent outfit I wore on a night out, I wanted to try something different to what I usually wear on a night out. Just so you know I am really really really into bow-ties at the moment, i'm not sure where this new found love has come from but it's here and I think it's going to stay for a while. I have even recently worn my boyfriends black bow tie but have now purchased a nice little silver one for myself just so he doesn't get fed up of me wearing his haha.

This outfit is an example of the Tailoring trend that I blogged about here earlier this month. I love masculine tailoring and I thought I would do my own little feminie touch to the style....

Sorry this isn't that clear of a photo, my camera has been playing up quite a lot recently, I dread to say it but I think I need a new one... again.....

Skirt: River Island
Sleeveless Shirt: Jane Norman
Heels: Schuh

Blazer: ASOS

Bow-tie: Topman

I decided to do my hair pretty simple and just straightened it with a side sweeped fringe. I will be doing a review of some new hair straigtners I had for my birthday, they really are the best so watch out for that....

Autumn Images

Hi All!!

I thought I would show you some images I took today....

I love Autumn, I love the way the leaves change colour and I think these are some great images of the farm life at the moment. The house is always so cosy with that fireplace, thats my step-sisters kitty 'Tumble Tots' and of all the things to photograph; the oven but it constantly radiates heat and keeps the kitchen warm! I love it! Not forgetting Poppy the working dog, she's so cute and loves to go on walks around the farm :)

Outfit of the Night: Masquerade

Here is what I wore.....

Dress: Aqua Couture
Heels: Schuh

An here is a close up of the mask I wore...

Mask: Accessorize
Feather Clip: Primark

I went for this, soon as I saw it I knew I had to buy it as it was so original, I have never seen a mask like this before. I teamed it up with the feather slide I had seen in Primark which was a bargain for only £1!!!

I was also talking to Kayleigh who attended the party and thought I had to post her outfit too...

I hope I can find a photo of Annmarie's outfit to show you guys but heres a peek of everyone in the limo....

Celebrity Style: Amber Rose

Hi All!!

If you haven't heard of this women yet I am not too sure where you have been? I have only really been noticing Amber Rose' style in recent months but have been well aware of her presence on the hip hop scene since she first stepped out as the girlfriend of Kanye West. At present she is dating Wiz Khalifa- but my post is not about her personal love interests, it is about her personal STYLE!

Being a curvy girl myself who adores all things tight I love what she steps out in on the red carpet and on her nights out. And lets not forget her platinum blonde shaved head, how many people can pull that look off? A very small number I think! Although I am not really a fan of people who wear sunglasses indoors, I find it quite pretentious in ways but she has made striking shades apart of her statement look.

Check out my favourite of her looks.....

I think it is refreshing when a women embraces her curves and isn't afraid to make a statement via her outfit.
