:: Mimco ::

I love pretty hair clips and one of my favourite brands is Mimco. My sister is obsessed with Mimco hair clips, she owns SO many pretty ones! To be safe we buy her vouchers for her birthday and Christmas, because we have no idea what she owns anymore. A little while ago our sister-in-law told us about a Mimco competition - to take a photo of yourself wearing your favourite Mimco. Naturally, we jumped at the chance. The hard part was choosing her favourite clip to wear!

We decided to take the photos at the Brisbane Powerhouse, which is where Mr LG and I had our professional wedding photos taken. I wanted to create an effortless contrast between the urban background and the femininity of my sister and her hair clip.
In the end we chose the picture below and I had my younger sister's boyfriend edit it to fit recent Mimco photographic trends. We're not expecting to win, but it was a fun experience and now I want to expand my photographic abilities by taking more shots like these.
I borrowed this hair clip to wear to a friend's wedding this weekend just gone. I will share photos of that soon! I was MC and had so much fun!

    These are such beautiful pictures. I too love the contrast. I guess that's why so many people use the Powerhouse for photos. We took some of our engagement photos there too :)

    And I love my Mimco hair tie you gave as part of my present. I should wear it to work tomorrow :) x

    good luck, these are great shots. In answer to your question about my house it is 15th century - very old and chilly and falling down! luckily someone else wants to buy it as it does have a lot of charm.

    Hey! To answer your question about what fasnacht is celebrating - it's to scare winter away :)thats why there are so many ugly costumes, haha :) (and maybe an alternate explanation to global warming!)

    These photos are absolutely gorgeous! You're quite the photographer - what camera do you use, Jasmine?
    Really liking the setting of these photos, as well as the posture which displays the really cute hair accessory. The ballerina poses are fantastic too.

    Love it!
