I've been away for a while...

But i'm back!

I've been doing a lot of back and forth with life and career and I feel that I can finally come back on here and talk about it all. I have recently officially launched OLWEN Store online, and we are having so many exciting developments already! 

OLWEN is an independent online store, building your essential wardrobe. We will be stocking brands from across the world, mainly from America and Australia. We will however be looking for completely unique brands to bring to your wardrobe so keep an eye out! 

We currently stock Sol Sana footwear and Elizabeth Anne Jewellery. 

We are completely committed to creating your perfect essential wardrobe, with pieces that you can wear day to night - and season to season.

Please take a look at the website, like and share if your enjoying the content. I will keep you all up to date here because i'm not going anywhere!

Yes, I am still doing the photography also :) It will all be channelled into the one place which is so exciting for me, and I will also be back with all my outfit posts very soon!

Love,

Carla

Christmas Wonders

I have absolutely neglected the blog over the last few months but I am back and raring to go!  

I have had a rough few months and lost my way a little but I have turned myself around and going to continue on with the blog and photography.

Christmas this year was amazing, and I couldn't have spent it with more amazing people.

Here are a few pictures from the festive season from my point of view! 

What did everyone get for Christmas? 

 Trying on the boyfriends slippers! 

All ready and wrapped for Christmas! 

I was completely spoilt! 

Got out the Alexander Wang for an ice skating trip!

ELF LIPSTICK HAUL

After recently dying my hair a VERY light blonde, I felt I was in desperate need for a make up haul. I have lipstick, however when I had darker hair, they would be purely for nights out as I could easily get away with having nude lips! 

This is no longer the case! My skin looks a lot paler now than it did, and I REALLY need some colour in my life! So, I felt like I should stay in season and purchased some lovely burgundy/plum colours! 

They are amazing, and at £5 each, you really can't go wrong.

This brand has a small boutique shop in an arcade in Cardiff, and is well worth a visit. 

What is your favourite Autumn shade?

Mine has to be the Prime Plum!

Vintage Edit x Sequins

Another set of looks from the most recent shoot with Re Loved Vintage. There are so many amazing looks and these images are showing a 'way to wear'. As well as selling the clothing, Rachel is also a stylist with great personal style.

Beautiful model Amanda wearing Re Loved's sequinned jacket, now available to purchase. Contact Rachel Hannah at the website link!

Everyone needs to take a look at her page and visit her at the various vintage fairs that she will be attending during the next few weeks.

Preview

On Monday I had my most recent photoshoot with ReLoved Clothing and it was one of the most fun shoots I have had in a while. One of my best friends modelled for us, someone who should have always been a model.

The clothing was absolutely amazing, and there were some items that I could easily have run off with. ReLoved is currently in the process of setting up a website to sell online but until then you can find all of the promotions and clothing at ReLoved.
You will also be able to find them at various vintage fairs over the next few months! All information on the Facebook page!

So here is  a sneak peak of only one of the looks that was shot, as the others will be released ready to sell the new stock in the next few weeks, so keep your eyes peeled because all images will be posted here first!

Also, please check out my Facebook page while I am working on my website! You can find it here at Carla Anne Photography!

Today was shoot day

'Today we shot for Reloved, ready for the Autumn/Winter 14 collection of Vintage clothing.
There were some amazing pieces to shoot and as the brand is growing, the chances of the pieces being sold before launching the shoot are really high!

We had some amazing colour palettes to work with and an amazing location.
Just 5 minutes away are some beautiful reservoirs, forestries and countryside that we are lucky enough to use however we want, whenever we need to. It is an amazing space to escape or even to relax when needed. Each place that we used complimented the garments so well and really made it an exciting shoot, as well as the amazing team I had the pleasure to work with!

I'm excited to share with you a few snapshots from the day as well as the amazing location!
This is the first of many shoots to come over the next few weeks/months and I am so happy to have some amazing people to work with.
