Miss Candyfloss

Hello dear readers,

I'm introducing you my collaboration with Swedish brand Miss Candyfloss, a retro brand inspired by the styles of 1940s and 1950s, with a twist of the 21st century's sexy women!

"Miss Candyfloss’s goal is to be the brand that supplies women unique and wearable apparel products that takes them back to the golden era of the glamorous dames and sexy pin-up styled ladies. Our long-term objectives are to deliver garments that can be worn by mothers and later handed down to daughters.   We are determined to inspire customer loyalty by delivering garments that look timeless yet have a long lifetime wearability. Modern fabric characteristics such as wrinkle resistance, soft hand, launderability, durability and wicking are important aspects for current lifestyles. We seek to incorporate those characteristics in our classic products." 


What I love about them, besides great quality clothes is their ethical standards. Miss Candyfloss is manufactured within Europe under fair trade conditions. The clothes aren’t mass produced in large factory lines, so things like working conditions, salaries and good item quality can be kept a closer watch upon.

Shooting with Bostjan Tacol - Photobilly

Hello dear readers,

I would like to present you one of my favourite photographers  -  Bostjan Tacol - Photobilly

Recently I had opportunity to shoot in diners bar with Bostjan. Photos turned out great, so I decided to share more of it here and tell you more about Bostjan.

"Bostjan Tacol is professional photographer with more than 15 years  of working experience. Beside working as a photojournalist  for one of country’s major newspaper, Bostjan has established himself also as succesful portrait and fashion photographer. His big affection to  rock’n'roll music, 50′s lifestyle and vintage fashion has been main influence in his personal  work. That’s how his most common motif  became pin-up girls and hotrod cars, shot with delicate sense for light and carefull toning to achive his signature colourfull, sometimes allmost as illustrated, vintage look."

I Love Vintage - BANNOU

My latest collaboration was with BANNOU, the first clothing brand of Faranak Mirjalili, designer and co-founder of retailer I Love Vintage.


I LOVE VINTAGE (ILV) is Europe's leading destination for modern women who feel they can freely express their femininity using the classic era's and silhouettes as inspiration. 
ILV was founded by brother and sister, Babak and Faranak Mirjalili in 2006. What started out as a hobby for Faranak in 2005, grew in a few years into Europe's leading e-commerce company in the vintage and indie-designer space (with its own click&brick store in Amsterdam). 
In 2013, Faranak has put all her vision and knowledge into ILV's very own line named BANNOU; a fashion brand dedicated to bring the best of the classic era's with a new, modern philosophy by choosing to be as socially and environmentally friendly as possible, throughout the entire supply-chain.

BANNOU is a socially and environmentally responsible brand and each BANNOU comes with a Sustainability Pyramid Tag that shows you how green your piece exactly is.
This pyramid illustrates the different sustainability levels of BANNOU's designs. Level one is at the top: these items are made of durable materials, certified according to social standards and dyed in an environmentally friendly way. Or they are made from recycled materials. However, there are few pieces that are classified as level one. The second level relates to items that are made of durable materials but these are not environmentally friendly dyed (or she can’t ascertain that yet). Level three items are made from natural materials, but not necessarily organic. The transition between different levels is by no means a hard one.


BANNOU items are made in a sewing atelier in Romania under supervision of our founder.

The Petrol Lace Marina Top by BANNOU

A nice tailored look is achieved through the small pleats at the front and at the back around the waist. Folds from the shoulderpieces model the cups that envelop the feminine curves. In the front the waistbands wrap the two parts together and are tied up into a large bow. Because of the soft fabric the short cap sleeves fall nicely over the shoulder. A chic blouse for everyday. The Marina Blouse is made of cotton on nylon and thus stands at Level 3.

Great quality lace top that also comes in Navy, Red and Black. The color I'm wearing is Petrol, and is one of my favorites colors from now. I'm wearing only bra beneath at this shooting.

The Black Zola Skirt by BANNOU

The Zola Skirt is perfect for any occasion! From the front its a super classic skirt, and then, when you turn around, you amaze your audience with a pleated 'Edwardian inspired' ruches on your buttocks. Includes a strong, metal zipper on the back so you can zip it up easily!

The Black version of the Zola Dress is made from a Cotton/Spandex mix that deserves a spot in Level 3. The Cotton/Spandex mix is a heavy quality weave with a lot of stretch.

I love this skirt because it's made of great quality and heavy-weight material that fits perfectly and keeps everything in place. 'Edwardian inspired' ruches is what makes this skirt very special at first sight. My favorite skirt I own! Highly recommend! :)
