Lost In Paradise II

Hello lovelies,
 a lot of you have probably already seen the latest photoshoot pictures done in Kamena Gora, but it was high time to put them here as well. I have done some pictures with my digital camera before, but it was just the basic idea of what I was planning to do there, and so I did. I finally managed to find photographer willing to go there, as the place is not that near the town, and you have to walk by foot  quite a lot. We had to carry a lot of the things. I was carrying chairs, this huuuuuuuuge wedding gown, my make up kit, and loads of other things. But luckily, we had some help. The pictures are taken by Jovana Rikalo, a very cute girl, who is not only talented but also professional. We clicked immediately as we met. She traveled far to get to the town where I was born, Prijepolje, as she lives in Zrenjanin. I also had to travel from Sarajevo to Prijepolje, and as I had to do some business in Zlatibor, I traveled from Sarajevo to Prijepolje, and then to Zlatibor and back to Prijepolje again, and then finally to Kamena Gora. I was tired as hell, as I got up at half past 5 a.m. Then quickly planned the make up looks for Vanja (another Jovana's model) and myself. The wind was blowing as hell, and it was tough to do the make up. Quite tricky if you ask me. Tears are constantly flowing from your eyes, and you just can't do perfect eyeliner, or even mascara. but I managed to do it as nearly as I wanted. The place itself is pure perfection, and if you haven't been there, I assure you to go! I wrote about the history of Kamena Gora in my previous Lost In Paradise post, check it out ;) This, and a lot of other shoots I've done are conceptually connected to the lyrics I wrote for my band, The Loudest Silence. I had done an evil queen one, and now the white fairy one. If you are interested in the lyrics of wood nymph, then check it out at official The Loudest Silence Page's notes.

Here are a couple of Behind The Scenes pictures.

Black Goddess/ Two-faced ghost

Hello lovelies,

here are the pictures from latest photoshoot I've done with  Nadja Berberović.

This shoot is similar to this one (during winter, in the forest), but also a lot more dramatic and has the story behind it. All others were mainly fashion editorials, showing my make up and outfit combinations, but this one is connected to my dreams and the lyrics which are so personal. It is connected to the song of my band The Loudest Silence. The lyrics were written ages ago, and reveal the story of  two faced people, who are neither on the good nor bad side, lost and cursed. I connected those people and described them within the metaphor of an evil queen in magic land, who lives in a good land and she is evil. Seducing the lost ones, who can not decide where to go, being trapped and cursed to live as two faced forever. My message is that you should be yourself no matter where the world puts you in, and be strong for once YOU get lost you will never be able to go back and live happy. Once you put another face above the real one, you will never be able to get back. Love and do what you will :)

Ok, that's roughly it. And this shoot speaks instead of the lyrics. I'm acting that evil queen from the song.

It hurts
So never give all the heart
For I gave all the heart and lost
Time only knows the price
We have to pay

Now, more is heard than it's spoken
More is found than it's seen
Within the riddles in the dark
There and back again

Find yourself
For being two faced leads you to the
Evil queen in a magic land
Dark her hair like the winter’s night
Cold her touch like the snow white
Her lover becomes haunted
Within a story to tell
The story of a fragile soul
The story of a two faced ghost
The story of the one who's lost

Love and do what you will
Even though it seems to be a lonely life, it's the one you've chosen
Sphere of thoughts will save your soul
Pure and naked
Like the one of the innocent child

He lost his own, she was his curse and fall
Was it her reflection? Or of a two faced ghost?

Behind the scenes

trying to get warm, as it was as freezing as hell, I assure you!

Imaginaerum/ Gentleman's touch

Firstly, a couple of pictures in color. And then black&white ones.

I've always loved black&white movies and therefore pictures in this post are all in black and white (rather grayscale) pictures. Those who are following my blog surely remember similar outfit such as this one

I also made boyish look post here

I love being elegant and sexy when wearing men's clothes such as men's suit and white shirt. A Lady with gentleman's touch.

This outfit is mix of everything, I would say. Theatrical, circus and Hollywood movie inspired look. The title reveals some of the inspiration found, and it is the title of the latest Nightwish album, my favourite band ever. It has got that circus, theatrical vibe. It's about magic land and magicians, and this outfit is some kind of interpretation of female magician. I love magic and being a magician lady is what the pictures are about. 

So, if you didn't have the chance to listen to ''Imaginaerum'', download it now! It's pure perfection.

I'd also add Charlie Chaplin as one of the influences. 

The pictures are taken by Nina Mašić and edited by me(except the fourth, fifth and sixth one).

I was quite busy these days, I'm not in the house more than a couple of hours during the day, so I apologize for not posting these pictures even I had them in my folder over a week or so.

I find it interesting to post behind the scenes pictures, so I'll post them, as usual:)

Dark Lady II

Hello!
Remember the post Dark Lady ?
This is the second part of it.  I've only changed the clothes and the background in this one. The first part contains black ''clothes'' and white background(a nice silky curtain), and this one is with the floral damask. All the pictures(including the first part) are taken in one day, with the same make up. The hairstyle is a bit changed. Actually, in the first part, the hair was not made up, in this one, I just put a couple of pins from bottom to the top, it took me a few seconds to make this messy look. There are a bunch of other pictures to be posted separately in posts, so if you like these 2, you may be interested to see other parts as well.
I just want to say that I'm in love with the green dress and the earrings I wear in this post. I also wore this dress here
and here.
I didn't wore it that much, but even watching it in my wardrobe makes me feel great:) I know, I said it a thousand times. I'm in love with green colour. The earrings are gorgeous. Sparkling diamond like circles in green. Ah, if only they were diamonds:)

I bought them in Six.The longer and golden ones are vintage:)

Dark Lady

Hello there!
I'm styding these days, and I have no time to blog every day, but I've got more than 5 outfits to show you, as I've done shootings outside and in the house a couple of days ago, and the pictures are waiting to be uploaded. I didn't sort the folders, the pictures are quite in a mess, but I'll sort it out as soon as possible:)
As you all may know, my favourite eye make up is something like smokey eyes with golden and black shades.When I started doing make up on my own, beginning in the late primary school days, I didn't have Internet, I didn't read fashion magazines, it just came naturally to me. I used this kind of make up since then, and somehow, it stayed my favourite look. I don't know where the idea came from, but it just did.
I do not use eyeliner that much, but kohl pencil, to make that cat eye look. I don't like rules and classic looks that everyone follows. I like to create something myself.
All of the pictures are taken by my boyfriend. And,I realised I love him to take the pictures of me the most, as we know eachother very well, and he really reads my mind. Being 6 years with someone, and photographed by the same person all the time is the best thing.
The connection between the photographer and model is the most important thing:) In my case, that connection is something special and intimate:)
I feel like I could do whatever I want in front of the camera, like he doesn't exist at all, as he is the person I believe in the most:)

I have to go back styding, so I'll stop here:)

(p.s.If you want to see the make up in details, click on the picture in photobucket to enlarge it)I didn't have that much time to crop the details:P

As I've promised. Here are the pictures from the recent photosession. I'd like to share some of the ''behind the scenes'' pictures, without retouch or any kind of program used for it.
The pink dress is vintage (Nina's), and the shoes are bought in Sarajevo, in Alta, Parfois. Pictures are taken by Nina Mašić. Here is her fb page.
