**'Prairie - Shoot with amazing Lucie Eleanor**

Hey Hey! Hope everyone is enjoying the summer - finally is here and we have been having a nice weather in UK too - to my surprise :) Let's hope it will stay as long as possible! 
I would like to share with you some pictures of my recent work. This time I had this pleasure to work with a lovely and very talented young photographer - Lucie Eleanor who asked me to collaborate with her on a shoot. Lucie put this amazing moodboard with her ideas for the shoot and as soon as I saw it I was so excited to put the looks and to give a similar feel through the clothes, flowers and accessories we used.
This was the first time I worked with Lucie and we had amazing day. I was very impressed that someone so young can be so creative and experience and fun at the same time. That's what is amazing on shoots - the buzz and lovely people you work with and of course the end result - pictures :) Make up & hair was done by lovely Polish MUA  - Dorota Nowacka. We had a beautiful model - Felicity from the Gingersnap Modelling Agency who totaly nailed the shoot! I hope I will be able to work with the same team again in near future and now enjoy the pictures...I love them. What do you think? Justyna xxx

**Shoot with Models1**

Time is flying and I owe you pictures from the shoot I had with the greatest James Lee :) - yep the colour block one :)! As always its amazing to work with talented people who just know what fashion is about and they have the same buzz when it comes to being creative and translating all into pictures. Energy is always amazing and we giggle, music on and you just don't want the day to finish. Its very addictive that's for sure!
This time we worked with a lovely model - Megan from Models 1 Agency and believe it or not but  she is just 15! She did amazing job and by the end of the shoot she wanted to keep going. Make up was done by lovely and talented  Elizabeth Rita who was a pleasure to work with. I hope I can work with the team again in near future so keep checking!

Enjoy the pictures and have a great weekend everyone!

**Swimwear trends for S/S 11**

We all can't wait for the proper summer to arrive and holidays we go for. For women is not just buying the essentials but we also we want to look and feel good in what we wear. The same rule apply to swimwear! Personally, I think it's more pressure on us ladies as we always try to hide those jiggly bits we gained after winter and still look good and bang on the current trends. So to help you, here are the main swimwear trends for you to choose from when you buying a swimsuit for your holiday. Always remember to select the right style to flatter your body shape and skin tone.

Vintage style

This trend is based on 50's style - think Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Grace Kelly.
Designers turned this trend around into modern pieces - a high-waist here, a vintage print there - and the results can be very sexy and  will definitely show your curvy 'assets'. Those type of swimwear will be great for ladies who have a bit of belly to hide and still look great! :)

 Ruffled Bikini

Ruffled swimwear has no distinct style 'rules'. Instead we've seen it styled in a different ways for spring S/S 11. Ruffles add interesting twist to a normal plain bikini and can really flatter someone who wants to add a bit of a volume to your upper body. If you have slim/athletic body shape I would definitely go with that style!

Lisa Maree S/S 11

Terri Donna S/S 11

One Shoulder Bikini

This trend been popular since 2009 but the one shoulder bikini is not the swimwear trend, but it's still a great look and definitely a way to wear it in 2011 & 2012. Ladies - it's all about the statement shoulder! For this season go with a think single shoulder strap and pick the colour contrast between the strap and the rest of the bikini. This bikini will flatter most of the body shapes (make sure you pick the right colour to complement your skin tone) and if you looking for a bold statement bikini  I would definitely go with that style.

Digital print swimwear

Digital prints are everywhere in spring / summer 2011 and this trend definitely been used by swimwear designers too. For this season, however, the style takes its queues from the sports-as-fashion street wear trend and sees the print applied to swimwear that is more functional then fashionable. It's a huge trend and if you want to look different and have an eye catching design go for this type of design. Styling tip - to lengthen the body pair a printed bikini top with a block-coloured bottom, drawing the attention upwards. Go for high cut thighs instead so as to not shorten the legs further.

Hope that this give you some idea what to buy prior to your summer holidays and if you need any help on what style to choose please get in touch with me anytime. Have a great week! Justyna xxx

**Arzu Kara - New S/S 2011 Collection**

So yes, it's been far too long since my last post and I have been told off by my very good friend so I better post something :) Well - I must say life been pretty busy recently but I would love to share some pictures from the shoot I recently had  with lovely Arzu. My last post was about me meeting the talented designer who invited me shortly after the meeting to collaborate with her on the shoot of her new S/S 2011 Collection. I was so happy! Shooting with a designer is very different to a shoot planned by yourself/photographer or a client. I saw Arzu's collection before so I was very keen on helping her with accessories and how to style her designs.
This shoot took place in April around Henley on Thames and we were so lucky with the weather - as you can see on pictures (and hey we dont get that much sun in UK - trust me!). Everything went really well and below you can see the end pictures. I had this pleasure to work with this amazing team of people:

Photographer - Mark Andrews
Designer - Arzu Kara
Make-up - Adelina Miller
Model - Roza Przeziewikowska
Styling - Justyna (Me)

All team worked so hard on the day and even though it was a long day we were all buzzing and jumping around keeping the energy level high :) Unfortunately Mark had to stay focus :) but we are so happy with the pictures and I am sure you guys will enjoy it too. Have a great week! Justyna xxx
