It has been such a lovely day today in the south of Spain, warming up the air with 24 degrees, leaving the cold wind and the rain behind.

It was the best occasion to go to the beach for a walk and enjoy this day, and thought that it was also time to reveal images of the girl who’s behind Lady Marshmallow (myself). 

Hope you enjoy the pictures and it will only be up to you, if you wish me to get this blog more personal than informative.

 

 

Boater hat, vintage black bag from Caprice Vintage Shop, Lady Marshmallow bow necklace on sale in my Etsy store, trousers and cardigan by Zara, white t-shirt and jeans jacket, both H&M.

And below I leave you with one of my favorite songs ever, La Mer by Charles Trénet.

Stacey Mark is an American photographer that was born in Philadelphia in 1976. She has worked as the Photo Director for Nylon magazine and photographed for editorials such as Bazaar UK, Lulu, Elle UK, Purple, Self Service, Lula Magazine….

The first time I saw her work was in Lula magazine, and I immediately fell in love with her pictures. After checking her website portfolio, I got addicted to her photography, dreamy, romantic, natural lighting, nudes, pastel tones, what we could call “the Hamilton look”

I will be honored to work with her one day.

Jem & the Holograms!

If you were born in the 80s, Jem, the Holograms, the Misfits & Sinergie, will sound you very familiar. I just watch all the episodes over again in You Tube. I mean, you have everything on it, make up, hair, design, love, success. A complete package for a top girly cartoon. It was, and it still is, my favorite ever childhood TV program.

 

             

 

Seeking yesterday around Internet, I popped up into this gorgeous pictures of Mariano Vivanco, for a 2008 issue of Dazed & Confused magazine, inspired by Jem & the Holograms!

Wow, could it get any better? After viewing this amazing pictures of  London based photographer Wendy Bevan, I really doubt that anyone could beat her incredible talent. I love all the photos, no doubt that she’s on my top list, cause I just adore the vintage-antique touch that she uses in her shoots. So if you don’t want to miss out the rest, get the new Marie Claire Italian November Issue. You can also find her on Facebook and follow her latest work and news.

I’m a big fan of photography and therefore I would like to dedicate few lines to some of my favorite ones. Such as David Hamilton, Tim Walker and Wendy Bevan. What grabs my main interest is the dreamy, old, blurry & lighting effects that they bring to the images.

 

DAVID HAMILTON

 

David Hamilton was born in London in 1933 and lives now near St.Tropez, France. While he was an art director of English magazine Queen, he bought his first camera. Later settling in Paris as art director of Printemps, he began devoting himself exclusively to photography. He photographs in a dreamy, romantic, and tranquil style, characterized by subdued natural lighting, graceful period clothing of muted pastel hues, lace and flowers.

 

WENDY BEVAN

Over the past few year she has worked for I-d, POP, 10, Tank, Russian Vogue, Italian Marie Claire, Muse, The Independent. In April 2008 Wendy exhibited her work for the first time in London. The exhibition ‘Pleasures and Pain’ proved to be a great success. She is looking to put together her next solo show late this year.

 

TIM WALKER

TIM WALKER

 

Tim Walker is a photgrapher based in London. Tim’s interest in photgraphy began during work experience at Condé Nast where he set up the Cecil Beaton archive. After graduating from Exeter Art College, he worked as a freelance photographic assistant before working as Richard Avedon’s assistant in New York. His career as a photographer was launched when he came third in the Inpependent Young Photographer of the Year Award, and he went on to contribute to high-profile magazines including Vogue, W and Harper‘s Bazaar.

If you also would like to achieve a similar style of images, you can go on Lomo’s official website, where you can find several cameras such as the “Diana Mini, see bellow image” that brings you this effects, alternatively you can try on buying an expired film. Just for your information, Lomography store to launch in London September 11 2009 at 3 Newburgh Street, London, W1.
