Limited facial expressions

Yesterday Sj & I went shopping at Westfields to find her a party dress for her birthday next week! Exciting stuff. 

But before we got down to the serious business of selecting outfits & shizzle, Sj took me over the road to the smaller, tackier shopping center to show me the most UHmazing thing ever - one of the photo booths that takes a strip of different pictures & gives you two copies! 



After the first set, we were hooked (& proceeded to go into the Poundland opposite for props)...




And then took a few more, just in case...



BIG love for this - we're already planning our next trip ♥

My picks from Tumblr #2

Love this outfit. 




Adore the wings on these birds.

(Again, none of these pictures are mine but if you'd like to, visit my Tumblr for click-throughs, sources & shizzle).

Browsing

While browsing other blogs this evening, I came across a beautiful set of pictures from a past issue of W Magazine.

They're of Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie taken in 2005 - I absolutely love everything about these photos - the styling as a start. It totally makes me want to live a glamorous life in the 50's/60's.
I also really like the irony of the whole shoot, showing Brad & Angelina in a very strange staged domestic setup...








 But when the pictures are this good, who cares?!

(Photos found via: www.cocosteaparty.com/) (Click photographs to enlarge - totally worth it!)

When I was looking for more information about the shoot/photographer, I found some interesting background about the theme/mood of the shoot from the W Magazine archives;

" [Brad Pitt] was in Los Angeles filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Doug Liman’s thriller about a glamorous husband and wife who are secretly hired to assassinate each other. While the movie uses domestic ennui as a backdrop for a series of high-style action sequences, Pitt wanted to tell a darker, truer tale, one that explored the “unidentifiable malaise” that so often haunts a seemingly happy couple. “You don't know what’s wrong,” he says, “because the marriage is everything you signed up for.”
That was the inspiration for this photo shoot, which Pitt created with photographer Steven Klein. Tired of celebrity portraiture and always up for an artistic “jam sesh,” as he calls it, Pitt (who’d teamed with Klein and W in 1998 for an equally risqué layout, inspired by the film Fight Club) essentially codirected the photo series, while starring in it alongside his Mr. and Mrs. Smith costar and purported new love, Angelina Jolie. He opted to set it in 1963 (the year he was born), a time when the last traces of the squeaky-clean Fifties were giving way to something more complicated. “The facade was still being maintained,” he says, “but things were starting to crumble underneath.”"
 - Christopher Bagley.



(& apologies- I know this photo shoot is like, five years old now, but having just come across it, I'm still pretty interested!)

I also had a brief look at the photographer Steven Klien's website & think he's a pretty interesting choice...might have to look properly at his work tomorrow!
