Here are some of the (non-professional) pictures from todays Edie Sedgwick inspired make up shoot.
Stay tuned for the ones taken in the studio. They are going to look am-AH-zing!
Model: Kate Eddy
Edie Sedgwick
Tortured genius or pathetic mess...?
Generally I think chandelier earrings are much too much but on Edie they are almost not enough!!
Such a beautiful picture, its amazing, to look at her you would think butter wouldn't melt but the reality was that around her butter only existed as liquid!!
She brings such an element of fun to the shoot and makes it look so natural. This picture makes me want to be there with her sharing the moment and the laughter.
To read all about her story watch the amazing film 'Factory Girl' you will be shocked, horrified and amazed, it's a truly amazing film, a must see or; take a look at the untrustworthy, unreliable source that is wikipedia!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edie_Sedgwick
So what do you think of Edie? Leave your feedback below and also watch this space for my interpretation of this fascinating woman when I do my 'Edie Sedgwick Glamour shot' this Wednesday. I'll be posting my pictures and would like your brutal opinions please!
The Shoulder Pad
One of the biggest trends around at the moment and something that everybody wants to wear.. the shoulder pad. Infamous for the major role it played in 80s fashion, the shoulder pad has made a resurgence. It's bigger, better, stronger than ever and we love it!!
Balmain have perfected the strong shoulder and now the only question is 'How do we take this trend from the runway to the streets?'
To find the answers .. Read on!
..........................................................................
For a more casual, cool and effortlessly glam look, try the shoulder pads in a military style jacket with some skinny jeans, loose cotton shirt, statement bag and funky flats. Add some wicked jewellary and Ray Ban Wayfarers, a lick of lip gloss and long loose curls and away you go... An amazing look, featuring one of this winters most coveted trends.

....................................................................
For a great night time look , go a bit more dramatic with a bold colour and even bigger shoulders. Layer it over a simple dress, add in some great shoes that complement the blazer but don't distract all the attention away. Then the bling. If you can, choose a different colour that complements your blazer well but NOT the same colour or you will overload! Throw your hair up in a chic ponytail with lots of volume, grab a statement bag, smudge of lippy and spritz of perfume and you're ready for your big night on the town!

I hope this gives you the confidence to embrace this amazing fashion trend and wear it wherever, whenever with pride!
Viva la shoulder pad!
All Hail The Queen Of Punk! Vivienne Westwood: Paris Fashion Week, Spring 2010
I love this look, it reminds me of a young Lily Allen with the high hair, pink shoes and chunky gold earrings.
And just when you thought it couldn't get any better she pulls this one out of the bag! I want to get married in this dress and never take it off. Absolutely exquisite.
Vivenne Westwood is like a fine wine, she keeps getting better with age. She's crazy, she's funky, she's honest and she's real, that's why we love her so!
