Behind the Scenes – Beauty Shoot

Posted by Rebekah Roy on August 22nd, 2011

20110822 110235 Behind the Scenes   Beauty Shoot

I’ve worked with make up artist Lan Nguyen for several years and we’ve done lots of shows and editorials together. It’s great to work with people that you know and trust. When you work with people you know you don’t become complacent or lazy – you actually work harder! Lan used lots of colour and I styled the shoot focusing on lots of texture. I’ll post the images once the shoot comes out in September.

Happy 125 years of Coca-Cola

Posted by Rebekah Roy on June 3rd, 2011

Coca cola 1 Happy 125 years of Coca Cola

I didn’t grow up drinking any kind of pop and I don’t recall when I finally did – it must have a been at a birthday party. However, I was very happy when Coca-Cola introduced diet vanilla and cherry coke. I’ve always been partial to Coca-Cola commercials – they are so happy and sometimes I just want to live in one of their commercials.

The appeal to me might not be so much the actual drink but the marketing – the lifestyle of the brand. For some reason if you’re out for dinner and you order a coke and the waiter brings you a glass bottle it just seems nice, more special. The taste or what’s on the inside is important but packaging really does count.

 Happy 125 years of Coca Cola To celebrate 125 years of Coca-Cola Assouline has released a new book and an iPad app. You can even upload your own photo and be in one of their retro posters.

Facts:

There are 1.6 billion servings of Coca-Cola sold every day

Regular Coca-Cola is still a bigger seller than Diet Coke and Coke Zero combined

 Happy 125 years of Coca Cola

The world of Coca-Cola is such a happy place!

Quirky London

Posted by Rebekah Roy on May 27th, 2011

Doors Quirky London

In London there are so many quirky things. Streets where the numbers go up one way on one side of the street and then they continue down on the opposite side. Buildings or homes with no numbers often have just names which makes finding them a bit more difficult but it seems so much more welcoming for a house to have a name. It might be a bit of a challenge  to navigate around London but it is a bit more interesting than most cities. My favourite thing is doors with unusual numbers – it just feels a bit more magical, like something special is behind the door. (it’s all a bit Harry Potter with platform 13 at Paddington Station).

Diane Von Furstenberg – Be the Wonder Woman You Can Be

Posted by Rebekah Roy on December 6th, 2008

Diane Von Furstenberg teamed up with DC Comics and wrote her own comic book, Be the Wonder Woman You Can Be, Featuring the Adventures of Diva, Viva & Fifa. It’s about the fulfillment and empowerment of women. DVF says: "If I have any mission in life… it is to empower women"

  Diane Von Furstenberg   Be the Wonder Woman You Can Be

As a little girl I loved the tv show Wonder Women with Linda Carter. I thought she was great – I love her costume – her boots, her tiara and her golden rope. She was sexy and powerful.

By 1975, DVF was making 15,000 wrap dresses a week! Wonder Women!!!

DVF was her signing her book in her Mayfair shop, I realized I was starring at her because her hair reminded me of Wonder Women’s!

Diane Von Furstenberg on plastic surgery: "I know that a lot of people look at me and think, ‘Why doesn’t she do something to that face?’ But I made a decision. I do yoga and I hike, but I won’t do Botox … I know if I start doing things I will get insecure." [British Vogue]

The proceedes from the comic book , the special edition T-shirt , and the tote will benefit Vital Choices, a company that helps to empower women. I love the t-shirt. I’ve never been a big t-shirt fan but lately I can’t seem to get enough of them.

DVF: Hiking boots.
