2009-07-28T14:14:00.002+07:00

This is a photo P´Nat did for Image magazine the last time I worked with him October last year.

I´ve been very fortunate in my career by working with the very best.

Its when working with the best that my best works comes out.

When all those forces are on the same level exceptional beautiful photos can happen.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE! Out of all the photos ever taken of me I simply love this photo.

The emotion P´Nat captured in this is a mixture of sadness, strength, happiness. Its a mystery..a Mona Lisa and I LOVE this photo so much.

P´Nat took it about 8-9 Years ago for a beauty shoot for Emporium magazine.

Flashback style: 1998

2009-07-28T12:53:00.004+07:00

In the era where the rise of girl power erupted into world domination; I was a blooming teenager searching for my own identity in this world. In the course of this soul searching I went through many phases fashion wise.

As a freshman in Communication arts, I had an urge to be different from everyone.

So I dyed my hair with fudge hot red dye. Wore red lip stick, black eyes, bangles, rings, earrings and homemade necklaces to make myself stick out. True 90´s queen.

Here I am in a classic example of what I wore back then wearing both chiffon pants and dress by H&M.

That kid got style

2009-07-24T15:30:00.002+07:00

I love seeing kids all dressed up in nice dresses and little suits for special occasions. Just something about how they let their personalities shine through when they wear pretty clothes while carrying their own attitude. I took these photos of some hungry kids waiting for ice cream during the Norwegian constitution day.

I seen it grace the catwalks and fashion world lately and I have grown to like the classy parting myself. My boyfriend loves the look

To me you were a fashion icon

2009-06-26T12:37:00.002+07:00

His jackets, the hats, the glove, the glitter socks, the arm band, the aviator and ray ban glasses. The man had his own unique style and you know what I have often been inspired by him when I dress up.

How to wear tip: over the shoulder vs hair.

2009-01-19T17:34:00.004+07:00

I love over the shoulder dresses.
One shoulder gowns has such a Goddess essence over it.
When you have such a beautiful dress, I think keeping your hair as simple as possible gives the most beautiful sophisticated result.
Actually your hair will give symmetry and help enhance the dress giving you a alluring presence when you walk in to a room.
My number one tip on how to wear your hair is to sweep it up in a low bun with either middle or side parting. It adds elegance and the symmetry of a side or middle parting works well with a over the shoulder dress. You see this is used on catwalks and red carpets.

The pin up

2009-01-15T15:14:00.004+07:00

I did a photo shoot the other day and most of the clothes for next season had the pin up essence written all over it. The clothes were marine inspired. Blues, reds and white, denim, stripes.
Red lips, veronica lake hair (My ultimate favorite, felt like Elisabeth Taylor) Shorts, shorts and legs legs legs. Think Marylin Monroe, Lolita, Betty Boopp style.

get the look: Evan Rachel Wood, Golden globes 2009

2009-01-13T17:01:00.005+07:00

Personally I don't know why Perez keeps bagging on Evan Rachel Wood. OK so she was a bit unoriginal with the whole Dita Vin Teese copy look but I have always liked her. She had me in Across the universe and that's all it took for her to win me over.
I was watching the golden globes and just stunned on how beautiful she looked. I love her makeup and think women with fair skin and blue eyes really suits this look. If you want to copy the look for a night out to town, which suits people with blue eyes. Here is my quick and easy way to copy it.
On her lids she has used icy shimmery blue tones.
Christian Dior has a great 5 colour palette called blue croisette (I will use this as reference fot this look)

Start with a lighter shimmery blue as base, covering entire lid up to the crease, then go over with a slightly darker shade of blue. This will create a beautiful contrast. Finish off by dabbing some green shadow on the middle of the lid.
Along the crease line you should pick a darker more greyish blue shadow that melt into your crease by using your brush swiping along the lines, blending well. This will create dimension and enhance the depth of your natural crease.
With a gray eyeliner pencil, draw eyeliner on both upper and lower lash line.
With a white eyeliner pencil, draw the wet crease inside your lower lash line
CURL THOSE LASHES, put on mascara.
Use white shimmer shadow and dab some in the inner corner of your eyes.
THIS IS WHERE THE SECRET TIP COMES IN. Use your blush (preferably a peachy color, though I use MAC Sincere) take your eye brush pencil and swipe some blush along your upper crease area as well as your lower eyelid. (Dont use too much color here, you just want to add that hint of peach) By adding a warm peach or pink around dark or hard colors you will soften up the eyes. I always add a bit of pink or peach especially to the outer crease right beneath the eyebrow area where I usually go over with a white shadow to highlight.
Use peachy blush on your cheeks and finish off with a neutral colored pink/peach lipstick and cover with gloss.
IF you want to really enhance the look, use fake eyelashes.

Everyday fresh eyes

2009-01-08T17:59:00.004+07:00

I am going to start a " how to apply various eye shadow looks" series here.
Today I start with one of my favorite everyday looks, its quick, easy and suits almost everyone. You will look natural with a bit of shine. You just need to invest in some good brushes. Sephora, mac, bobbi brown for example. Having good soft brushes pays such an important role to flawless make up.

I love this look and finish off with some blush and lip gloss and you are ready to go.
I am using 3 mac eye shadows; Soba as my base brown shadow; Retro speck lustre as the shimmer; Ivory as the crease shadow.

Everyday fresh eyes:

Start with prepping your eyes by applying foundation on face and concealer under your eyes. Finish off with loose translucent powder

With a large brush start applying the brown base shadow all over your lower lid up to where you meet the crease

Using a large eye brush apply the shimmer shadow over the brown base. When applying shadow, try to pat your shadows on the lid instead of sweeping it. Patting your shadows leads to less fall out and more color payoff. You may Sweep and drag some of the shadow past you crease, leaving only crease beneath brows.

Apply eyeliner, I use brown for everyday as it gives a more softer subtle appearance. Then with a blender or q-tip smooth out the lines to give your eyes a softer more dewy look, it also is a good tip for those who have trouble applying the perfect eyeliner. This way you don't have to worry too much making the line perfect

With a fine thin flat brush, apply brown shadow along the lines of your lower eyeliner, under the hairline.

You may now if you want use a blender brush or just your normal brush to blend over the colors. Then finish off with some white shadow using a flat brush underneath your eyebrows.

Use eyelash curler, apply mascara. Eventually smooth out your shadow by continuing blending by patting the brush on your lid.

Voila and you are done. Ohh don't forget to shadow those brows.

the floral dress

2008-12-29T17:42:00.004+07:00

I remember falling in love with floral dresses when I was 13 years old, I can thank aerosmith for that. When I saw Alicia Silverstone in her floral baby doll dress and flannel (doc martin boots) in the music video cryin, I fell in love, it became a look I have sported often the past 16 years, such 90´s style. Over the years I have collected quite a few styles of floral dresses, short baby doll, long flowy, the figure hugging type. What I have learned is all women look so wonderfully feminine in a floral dresses. I wear my dresses with cardigans, jean jackets, vests, leather jackets, flats, boots, hats. You can style it so many ways to dress up or down and it always makes me feel great. I have worn floral dresses too many first dates with great results. I think it is a great outfit for a first date.

2008-12-23T01:12:00.002+07:00

I havent forgotten this blog, just been away shopping and having fun in London.
Now that Christmas is up there are so many things to do, will post very very soon.

Make up essential

2008-12-06T00:01:00.004+07:00

One of the first tricks I ever learned when I started out modeling was the trick of the white shimmery eye shadow.
Till this day, no matter what make-up trend has passed I still always swear by my shimmery white. This is also a trick I have taught all my girl friends and they too have stuck by it.
Its the easiest thing to do; Simply apply white shimmery eye shadow at the inner V corner of your eyes. This should be the last shadow you put on. Oh and use a brush, its so much easier and give a more subtle and controlled result.
This will make your eyes pop and it will enhance your eyes so much more.
I will show you 3 different pictures from random days where I wear my white nylon in my inner corner, I have always sworn by my mac eyeshadow in nylon.

I think showing you guys random pics are better than modeling pics. I want to give tips on the everyday make up things. I always hate it when I look in magazines and see really glammed make-up and hair pics knowing it takes hours to get such results which we normally dont have. OK so they are party pics but still, it took me like 3o minutes.

You might not notice much, but thats the point its suppose to be subtle and just make your eyes look bigger and and dooey like.

Here I blended well with the eyeshadow and my whole eye socket area under my eye, still making sure shimmer spots in the inner area.

Sometimes I will drag the line further like an eyeliner but underliner to enhance the effect, play around with it.
Here I just dabbed it in the corners of my eyes and because of the shimmer, the flash from the camera will pick it up and enhance your eye. My best friend, Nikki, has done the under line technique.

fashion soulmates: Lizzy Jagger

2008-12-03T12:40:00.003+07:00

Yesterday I posted my style icons Anita and Pattie, as you might notice anything affiliated with the Beatles or Rolling Stones is where my fashion sense goes.
When it comes to rock spawns I am convinced that Elizabeth Jagger (daughter of Mick and Jade) is my fashion soul mate. Her style is so identical to mine, it don´t hurt we have the same long curly hair hair and love sporting red lips. Lizzie has what I like to call a rock-elegance style or rock-ele. Yes I named that style myself. Sienna can be boho-chic , Lizzie and I = rock-ele. Extremeley feminine, a bit classy yet always with a touch of rock. Her face is always so eleganttly done and she brings rock and roll soul to all the clothes she wears. True Tambourine fazhion.

Here is Lizzie

Here is me.

The answer is yes, I love love making picture collages in case you havent noticed. Its my thing...

my styleicons

2008-12-02T23:01:00.002+07:00

My favorite people in fashion history is Anita Pallenberg and Pattie Boyd. I LOVE ANITA!!!
I constantly find inspiration from them. I think my love for Pattie has much to do with the fact she was married to the most gorgeous man ever (in my eyes), George Harrison. Such a beautiful man. But if I could have someones closet I would want all the clothes Anita Pallenberg wore in the 60´s and 70´s....she was also with Keith another one of my favorite men

wish list

2008-12-02T22:58:00.002+07:00

I love leather pants, so rock n roll. Finding the right pair is like searching for a perfect partner, impossible to find. I been hunting for my dream leather pants for years. Black, low cut and slim fit

flower power

2008-12-01T22:53:00.004+07:00

My favorite little extra accessory is flower clips in my hair. I swear every time I wear a flower clip I get a compliment, especially from the men.
I think it gives them a great opportunity to flatter you when you are out.
Its a great conversation starter when a cute guy says ¨nice flower.¨ So not only does it make you look wonderfully feminine and adds that little extra to the outfit, it s also a great pick up trick. Flower clips are cheap and you can make them yourself as well, using fresh flowers, fake...all flowers are pretty in the hair. Even for a normal dull day at the office, a tiny little clip adds a oomph.

Harjuku fashion, Ko-ni-chi-waaaa

2008-11-30T22:46:00.003+07:00

My girls dressed up in Harajuku fashion style for a theme party we went to.
I love how crazy you can go with this style, so much fun. I strongly recommend you and your girls have a Harajuku night and go out. Its like being 7 year old girls again, dressing in veils, garters, hello kitty, pink, kids plastic jewellery in bright colors, princess stuff mixed with anything your mind can come up with. My girls and I had so much fun and nothing beats a good girls night.

the hourglass figure dress

2008-11-26T18:32:00.002+07:00

I am so delighted, I got my first email question. I received an email from pinkjellybaby
I'm a shorty (5ft2) and pretty curvy. I'm not quite an hourglass but i guess that's the closest description. So, I have arse, and tummy but a small waist and decent boobs. My question is: With this kind of figure, can you wear tight, form fitting dresses? Is it hot to show off curves or is it just a bit silly?

DO NOT BE SILLY.
Showing off curves is so empowering for a woman to do.
Women who show off their curves look so sexy and feminine because they look confident.
When I took time off modelling 5 years ago and worked in music telly, I gained weight and I was a size 12. For someone who have been a size 4 it was quite a difference. I was so self conscious of my hips and ass, so I know how uncomfortable it feels to wear something tight in the beginning.
Its something you need to get over.
When curvy women hide their figure behind layers, makes them look like a bag of potatoes.
The thing most curvy women do wrong when they dress up is hide and draw attention to the wrong area. Like me I would tie scarves around my waist to cover the arse, making me look even worse. You want to concentrate in high waist and not low waist.
I learned how to dress by wearing
Soft, clingy, flowing fabrics
Low to medium-low necklines
Dresses with defined waistlines

If you want to wear a tight fitting dress, which I think is beautiful.
Think open neckline , low v necks, shoulder straps to emphasise the breast and neckline.
Make sure its a tight waist and that it goes in just under the breasts.
A woman with an hourglass figure and a large bosom sometimes tries to hide the fact that she does, in fact, have a large bosom. However, when one wears the proper bra, and the proper type of blouse or top, one can actually seem slimmer and less large.
The dress length should come to your knees in length.
Wear high heels, pumps looks amazing with these tight knee length dresses.
I made a little collage of women I think are just beautiful showing off their curves to give you some inspiration, all the above I think would look great on you PJB.
Think Scarlet Johansen, America Ferrera, Salma Hayek, Drew Barrymore Catherine Zeta Jones, Kate Winslet. Look at what they wear on red carpet events.
If you need to wear a jacket, a bolero jacket or any jacket with short waist line looks very good.
Of course in the winter a beautiful coat looks good on anyone.
For daytime casual wear, American apparel has some amazing dresses like this.

Hope this was help!

The Veronica Lake

2008-11-25T22:37:00.004+07:00

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Veronica Lake hair, if I could, I would have hair like this everyday.
Every woman looks so classy and beautiful with Veronica lake hair.
I do it when I go out for special occasions.
It is not really hard to get the look.

You can get this look by using rag curlers (this way you can do this over night and sleep with the curlers if your hair looses curls easily)
- I usually use a 3/4 inch curling iron, having a friend to help is good.
-part your hair your desired way.
-Start at the nape of the neck and wrap the rest of hair as you gradually work yourself to the top.
-Curl your whole head, after each curl, a great tip is to pin the curls using your fingers rolling the curls, pinning it to your head until everything is done, this is to keep the shape of the curls.
This way you can prepare hours before and walk around with the rolled up hair. You can do your make up in the mean time.
-Make sure all the hair is going in the same direction  making it a repetitious pattern.
-when done brush the hair with natural bristle hair brush or wide tooth comb.
-Finish off with aerosol spray

Young looking skin

2008-11-24T22:48:00.003+07:00

My mom forced me to take my vitamins and omega 3 since the age of 6. It became a habit I have since then stuck by till this day. Taking vitamins will do wonders if you want to keep your skin looking young. There are sooooo many to choose from. You need your vitamins, buying a bottle of multivitamins will be good for health and skin. Omega 3 is also something I just need, just get it.

One more thing that will make your skin GLOW is almonds. I snack on almonds all the time.
If you eat a handful of almonds everyday for 2 weeks I can guarantee that you will notice your skin glowing.

my beauty bag: saltwater spritz

2008-11-23T11:00:00.005+07:00

This is on my must have list when it comes to my beauty bag. Saltwater spritz gives you nice beach hair and is perfcet for frizzy, wavy or limp hair. Get the hair damp and use salt water in a spray to bring out the wavy curls. Salt spray will do amazing things to your hair. It adds life to your hair giving you natural beach curls. So try spritzing or spraying a little salt water on already damp hair, scrunch it and then let it air dry. Scrunching it while it is wet will give it volume and randomness. Since most hair has some sort of natural wave, the salt spray will bring it out. There are many good brands out there but my fave is the one from Toni and guy, it smells
heavenly.

I have wavy hair, thanks to my spritz I can make it look more fun

conceal those eyes

2008-11-22T20:45:00.004+07:00

Concealer...a very important relationship for a woman.
I swear by my Bobbi brown kit. There are days this is all the make up I will put on before I go out the door. The Bobbi brown corrector, concealer and concealer brush.

Bobbi brown make up is one of my favorite brands, they make your skin look perfect.
I always do this step. Start with eye cream NOTE: Every woman should use eye cream. SERIOUSLY. With the concealer brush I first apply the corrector under my eyes starting on the inside. I switch between dabbing with brush and finger. Then apply the concealer. It should always be 1-2 shades lighter than your foundation. Finish off with powder. Bobbi brown has great videos on how to apply concealer

Another great product is Benfits realness of concealness. I LOVE my little kit and a very nice price as well.

suck my kiss

2008-11-22T11:40:00.000+07:00

one of my FAVORITE looks is matte cherry stained lips, makes me look like I been sucking face all night long. I love wearing red lipstick but on it can sometimes be a bit too much for day wear.
Stained berry lips is a great alternative.
It looks best face au naturel, nude shimmery eye shadow and slight eyeliner do get dooey eyes.

How to apply: Use your fingers! You got to use your lipstick as if it was a lip balm container. dab your finger on the lip stick then DAB your lips. DO NOT rub like you apply lip balm.
You dab dab dab dab and please use some force while dabbing, by doing this you speed up your lips blood circulation which adds redness to your lips. Dab till your lips are covered.
You may if you want gently press your lips on tissuepaper for that extra matte look.
To take this look up another level use benefit benetint liquid and apply it just on the middle of your lips.
Of course you could always just drink some red wine....

My favorite: MAC Viva glam in red, Este Luader pure color long lasting lipstick in rouge longue tenue, este lauder pure color crystal orchid.

2008-11-21T21:26:00.001+07:00

My gorgeous friend Paula sporting a really fun look, simply done by violet colored lipstick and white eyeliner.

White eyeliner really make your eyes pop. I use allot of white eyeliner on the wet crease. What Paula has done is first to apply black eyeliner a very think line around the eyes, again very thin line, finishing with the white liner along the line of her upper lid.

Sheizer, I need to learn anatomy talk to make more sense of this.
The white crystal earrings adds the cherry on top.

Introduction

2008-11-21T17:15:00.000+07:00

So I got a bright idea after Ms.R left a comment on a of post asking me about hair color.
After answering the question the epiphany came to me.
It´s time that I gave back by giving advice from my profession. I set up a new blog!
Of course you can see the hard skill of walking down a 10 meter stage. stop and walk back.
Ok maybe not that...

13 years of experience has given me serious ~~body image issues~~ insights in tricks of the trade on how to fake looking good naturally.
This is my contribution to the world (make Oprah proud)
Plus it gives me a swaggering excuse to put up pictures of myself.

I will confidently say I know what to wear for what event dates/dinners/jungle safari..

I can also offer the following
*hair tips/make-up/beauty tips. How to style and apply
*Conversation topics to have with your beautician as she is stretching out your vagina lips to wax off all your pubes.
*What shape dress to wear to show off your best asset
*how to get different looks
( the runway look of winter 2009 is White porcelain skin, violet pink lips, cream/shimmery eye shadow in light yellows and skin warming colors, and let your brows grow)

Do feel free to spread the word on this blog as I am just starting, but want to help women and feel this is an area I can actually say I am an expertize...sort of.

Initally this was a blog where I had a mission to post what i wore today everyday. I failed to update after day one, obviously.
But its good to have a place dedicated to all my model beauty tip secrets and discoveries.
