This shoot would have to be one of my favourites of 2011.It appeared on the cover of the Saturday Irish Independent Magazine last month. It’s style embraces a Desperate housewives’ with a Mad Men genre in a color pop shoot,while enduring some typical household chores!In all honesty my talent towards baking and ironing would be pretty limited.I was actually once asked to leave home economics for burning toast by mistake..how impressive I know! On this occasion,however, my surroundings of Ted Baker, Brown Thomas, Bastyan, Coast, LK Bennett and River Island made any household chore (play acting of course!) extremely doable… So much so that when I went home following the shoot I felt some impulse shopping was in order to tackle cleaning my office at home! (Luxury clothes = feel good factor= productive cleaning? ) .. well wishful thinking is progress in itself I suppose. And the office is half way there in case your all wondering! Anyway here is the shoot thanks to the Maciej Pestka photography and styling guru Alison McGilligan!
