I had never tried shooting portraits before, because cameras kind of scare me, but this time I had to do it. The model (Maçã) helped me tremendously, I mean look at her, beauty is not enough to describe her! 
    I'm posting her photos here and here, since I'm truly proud of myself and love the end result. It's not even near Avedon's work, true, but for someone who never ever learned how to photograph and is used to working mainly with textiles, not bad. 
    Most of all I think it's very Fii: simple, genuine, minimal, melancholic. What do you think? <3

     I never ever wear makeup, but today I felt like wearing red lipstick again. Not sure if it works on my face, though. What do you think?

  This post is all about not wearing expensive clothes from the greatest fashion brands and still looking sophisticated and elegant. It's not about the brands or the price you pay for the clothes, it's about being creative and having a good sense of aesthetics. Stop focusing all your attention on where the pieces come from and start being intelligent! The less resources you have the more original and creative you become! Therefore if someone bugs you, because you don't have a wardrobe full of Prada, Burberry or Alexander Wang pieces, don't worry! You probably have a better taste than those ignorants, because you know how to do intelligent shopping and styling! 

     Oh! Btw. do you like my new coat?

     Nicholas Alan Cope is THE contemporary master of photography! The photographs have a subtle classic touch, almost like Bernini's sculptures. Actually these models do look like sculptures carefully worked on, every pleat looks planned and strategically lightened. His work is almost too perfect to be human. Take a look at the rest here, it's worth your time!

P.S.: I've already ordered the coat, because it was sold out at the store. In the next 3 to 5 days it will arrive and have a special place in my closet! Can't wait!

Coat - Zara (here)

        I've had my eyes on this coat for a long time now, thanks to my boyfriend. This is definitely THE perfect winter coat. It's nude, sporty, clean, sophisticated, elegant, oversize, everything I love in a (hand made) coat. Plus it's not that expensive! 

          Hopefully it will be featured in my next post!

xo,

Fii.
