We don't normally post an pictures of ourselves on our blog, so this is a treat! I guess it's always nice to put a face to the name! Believe it or not we are actually quiet shy when it comes to posting pix of ourselves! Our closest friends won't believe that, and I can picture most of them rolling their eyes, but it's true. More to come peeps!

StyleCrush- Solange



















There's really no explaining why we are crushing on the unique fashion taste of Miss Solange, why she's forever compared to her sister is beyond us! By no means is this style queen in her sisters shadow, we think she stands out for her vibrant choices, eclectic style choices and most of all we cant help but gush over that hair! We eagerly anticipate her next move, and if these look are anything to go by we know she'll hit the next look out the ball park. She keeps it fresh every time and has boho chic in the bag. Keep doing you...   

LookBook Unveiled

Whoop,whoop...A pretty little package came in the mail the other day! Miss Jacinta has been hard at work adding her magic touch to these pretty little snaps, and finally they are ready for the unveiling! We are just thrilled at how these pictures turned out, and we must say for our first Look Book they don't look so bad, they truly deserved a cheeky little dance and a glass of bubbly. But we couldn't have managed all on our own, many thanks to you lovely ladies, you know who you are! Sending you some major love.

For the love of the shoot...







These here are some pretty snaps that we are truly delighted about! We collaborated with Neil Prieto, an up and coming sought after Melbourne photographer who stumbled across us at one of our markets way back, we exchanged business cards and a few months later Wala! We couldn't be there to style the shoot, but we think Neil's team did an amazing job and the pictures came out looking pretty as a button! Nothing sends us over the moon than styling and preparing for photo shoots, I think it's because we secretly spend the day fantasising and day dreaming that we're shooting for Vogue, Yen or Harpar's Bazaar, you can only dream right? Don't laugh, we truly do, only there are no international models, or magazine editors or personal assistants to scream at because your Chai mocha latte (is there such a thing?) is not hot enough, not that we would be screaming at anyone! For the most part it's just the model, the photographer and two sisters with a love for sassy vintage threads! Two sisters who sometimes drive each other crazy, with different opinions and style concepts, and generally the same vision but boi oh boi it can be a tough time getting there! So we've devised a plan that we take turns to play "boss" of the shoot and the other plays the "assistant". It's the only way things can work, otherwise things can get messy (Ha, ha, ha). We can't wait to show you all the other pictures we have from the last few shoots, we've been busy little bees here at GFV and things are really falling into place, one of our motto's here at GFV is never stop dreaming and always dream BIG!

OK, first stop once we get to NEW YORK, it's Christian Louboutin (Yep! don't care how many cans of tuna we'll have to eat, the rewards are worth it).Plus it would be lovely way to be rewarded after all our hard work.These folks are enough reasons for us little ladies to tune in religiously,Karla your a style Master, like hungry vultures we eagerly anticipate our next feed, your blog Karlas Closet always satisfies.
