Miss Happ summer photoshoot

What a fab way to end the day! We had so much fun with our Miss Happ photoshoot today.

I have been wanting to do a Miss Happ photoshoot for a while now - I have so many new products from clothing to accessories that I wanted to shoot, so finally got everything in order, got my A into G and managed to organise everything!

I asked a friend of mine, tattoo artist Milo "Mr Lucky" to shoot the pics - it was the first time he had done a fashion shoot as such but he was keen. Our model for the afternoon was the super sweet Miss Nadine who had won our "take Miss Happ on Holiday" competition.  All I can say is that I couldn't have asked for a better model! Nadine is so photogenic and was such a pleasure to shoot and work with.



She has the most amazing long, thick black hair, beautiful blue eyes and a fab smile. My hair accessories looked great in her 40's style hair-do and the clothing looked oh so cute on her little body.We even managed to get some cute pics of all my new shoe bow clips!

For the location we shot on Woodbridge island. There are such perfect little spots hidden amongst the houses, with little ponds and bridges, huge frangipani trees and amazing palm trees - so perfect for the hawaiian island feel that I wanted for the shoot. We even managed to shoot a little sailor girl scene complete with sail boats and palm trees in the background!

 

We started shooting at 5pm, and tied up at about 7:30pm, just as the sun was going down.6 outfit changes, countless accessory shots and I think we have some awesome pics. I cannot wait to see them tomorrow morning...and to share them with everybody too ;)

I think everybody had a ball - all I know is that I couldn't have asked for a better team!

As soon as I have the pics I will be sure to share!

Till next time!

Miss Happ wins seller awards online!

It looks like today is a day for WINNERS!

 

I just found out that I won the SELLER OF THE YEAR AWARD 2011 through my local online. 

A HUGE Thank You to all my Miss Happ fans who went to my store and gave it a big "LIKE!", you guys and dolls are the reason I won!

All I can say, is that the timing couldn't have been better.


A little bit about the competition..


"2011 was a phenomenal year, to say the least. Market Fleas (soon to be Khayali) moved through a massive barrier in creating an online platform that obviously has support and will be moving through 2012 with quadruple that success.

What makes Market Fleas different from other platforms is that due to it being such a large community on such a grand stage it becomes the role of the seller to promote their products online just as much as it is that of the Market Fleas team.

With that said it is quite obvious that we have had a bunch of sellers on Market Fleas that have gone to the end and back to promote not just themselves but us as well, and we with much applause take our hats off to you. Thank you for being the community that we can proudly host and we promise to always move forward with your goals in mind." 

Thanks for all the support ♥ ♥ ♥

Till next time!

Over this past holiday season Miss Happ, together with Sailor Jerry Rum ran a competiton.
The idea was to get our Miss Happ customers to have a little fun with the product...

"We want to see those cute pinup girl photos of you wearing you fav Miss Happ goodies, whether it's your super sexy wiggile dress, your vintage spot dress, your fav hair clip or a cute pair of our earrings!"

I got some great entrants and was very excited. We had girls mostly from Cape Town, but one or two from Pretoria and even Namibia! Have a peek at some of the cute pics we received, and feel free to let me know what you think!

For more pics, you can follow this link to our fb album:

Red or dead. My perfect red lipcolour

So being the kinda chic that is very rarely seen without lipstick, and red lipstick at that, I thought I would share with you a few secrets....

I started off by making a list...here goes...

I remember when I first decided to start wearing red every day. I got my ass down to the (always awesome) MAC store as this is always my first port of call (Over the years I have always been a lipstick girl, but tended to go with the safer natural shades as most people do). After chatting to the fab girls I decided to try out the PRO LONGWEAR LIPCOLOUR in LASTING LUST which is a colour and gloss in one stick...and I have never turned back! 

The best thing is that I only need to apply it once a day (although it works best if a very thick layer is applied to DRY lips) and then apply the gloss past once it's dry. The great thing is also that the colour part has a little applicator, so getting a good shape is super easy.

You will find that during the day, and even after eating they only thing you will need to touch up is the gloss part of the whole processes....and the BEST part about it all is that people don't have to be afraid to kiss you - you'll be able to pucker up in true Marilyn Monroe style without worrying about it coming off on him...or his clothes....or your face! Yes, I have seen (and done!) it all myself!!

Below is an older pic of me wearing my MAC Longwear....

A close second to my Mac is one I got for my birthday from my friend Gabbi from AnonaMiss Beauty Emporium. The lipstick I received was the MANIC PANIC, VAMP RED

I must admit, I loved this shade - it is a slightly darker and richer shade of red (when compared to the MAC). My only advise here is maybe use a lip liner to get that great lip shape - if you go skew with red it can be fatal.

And if the colour Red still makes you alittle nervous...try starting with a tinted lip gloss. I am not a big fan of gloss - living in Cape Town with all it's wind gloss just isn't practical. I don't enjoy my hair getting stuck to my lips, but it's a personal choice!!

So, go on girls! give a  whurl! you might just enjoy it ;)

Till next time!
