Music Video Shooting

Hey girly whirlies!

It's just a quick random little blog post...

NEW CHALLENGES

Today was exciting as a music video by Calyx & Teebee called 'LONG GONE' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGM0zArhxnk was released which I feature heavily in.

It was fun and a challenge shooting this video..!  We shot for two days and a night. It was shot mainly in a studio near Swindon by sandstorm productions. By a super friendly fab team! (I must add as well the food from the chef was amazing! My favourite thing about every time I do fiming is film set food food!) This was exciting because although I have shot adverts and online tutorials etc I needed to act a lot more for this and I was actually filmed alone the whole time. One of the artists was then added at a later time.+ my brief  for my Model Agency BMA said 'Can you jump off a building?' Now that's exciting!!!

FEARS & JUMPING OFF BUILDINGS!

I had to learn how to jump off of a building onto a trampoline. I was really scared as I totally have a fear of heights but I've always had the moto that you have to ALWAYS challenge yourself. They bought in a trampoling coach who was lovely but man I was seriously bricking it at first! I was really proud of myself for jumping off countless times though. I was pretty sore and aching the next day but I felt pretty like a proper nina warrior! haha







BEAUTIFUL WOODS,RAIN AND UNDERWATER CHOKING!

For the woods scene we shot late into the night. When we arrived on location I was blown away by how beautiful and magical the woods were. I felt like I was in a scene from Hunger Games or Disney's Bambi. Unfortunately it was freezing cold and raining buckets! The whole team got drenched including me which you can prob spot in the video! I was bare foot for some scenes and man, I won't forget how cold it was, although the team tried their best to warm me up with blankets,fires and coats but it was worth it....I think! Haha

For the last day we shot more in the studio and I was lowered into a tub of water by some of the men from the production team. I was told we had to get it in one take and was told I needed to look completely natural and relaxed. I managed to do this but as I was lowered under the water, I swallowed loads and secretly was choking but trying to act relaxed. Bubbles started coming out and they quickly pulled me out with me spitting water everywhere! Haha (I'm so not glamourous!)

Anyway heres the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGM0zArhxnk

How to spot if 'YOUR A MERMAID IN THE CITY' & 'DRESS LIKE ONE TOO'

HOW TO SPOT IF YOUR A MERMAID IN A CITY!

Sadly not all mermaid's can live by the sea...(Just mainly those lucky Australian girls you see on Insta with those perfect six packs, green smoothies for lunch,strawberries for breakfast being fed by their romantic surfer boyfriends and that perfect sunshine!) Help Me I can't cope with it...
but of course we all follow one or two... Our insta motivation on another pants grey weather day in London, Paris,New York or wherever you are................? 

So anyhow's how to spot if 'YOUR A MERMAID IN A CITY'?! 


(Answer these questions below 

and see if you find yourself going YES YES YES!)


1. You have dyed hair that's trying to be red like Ariel or maybe it's pink or blue or its gone a kinda 

weird brown colour where its been dyed so much!

2. People get sick of you moaning about summer...


3. All your wardrobe consists of Hot Pants and bikini's which you keep just in case you get that           ' Record Heatwave summer' that the radio presenter has been promising for the last 5 years.


4. You spend half your life stalking hot surfers Instagram's.


5. You've put lemon on your hair before because you have heard it goes blonder in the sun.


6. When your at peoples house's and you spend half your time sat on the nearest radiator.


7. You can't concentrate at work or school because your planning when is the quickest time you can earn enough money to leave your job and go on your next travelling trip...(another excuse to stalk instagram for *cough* places to go surfing!)


8. You don't brush your hair and its full of knots because you just don't see the point, I mean did Ariel brush her hair? I think not!


9. Your hair, getting to your waist is your ultimate life goal.


10. Your hair has gone green before because you spent so much time in the local swimming pool practing kicking with your legs together like a fish!


11. Water is the ultimate lifesaver, you can't drink enough of it and your paranoid of getting old if don't drink 2 litres a day.


12.  Being barefoot is how you spend as much time as possible and these days you can't even be bothered to wear heels out.


13. People sometimes describe you or your clothing as,"wacky,out there, bright, unusual," or use expressions like "Hmm wow, only you could get away that".


14. You response is usually, "your lucky I'm wearing clothes as i'd rather not be."


15. Right now, your dreaming of a white beach, drinking water out of a coconut, in a shell bra...



HOW TO DRESS LIKE A MERMAID IN A CITY!


I've included my favourite bits from www.adventurelanduk.com this week and how to add a bit of mermaidness to your outfit!



MERMAID HANDS AND ARMS

Our vintage Starfishy Bracelet and ring is a must and lets like its just been found on the ocean floor! £13 for the set


I have teamed them with our Under The Sea Stick On Jewels in Mermaid Aqua. You can get two sheets of these for £6.00. These really are gorgeous and you can cut,size and stick where you like. 



You will just need to peel off the front, use a wet cloth and stick down. Perfect for festivals or jazzing up your outfit for a night out.

Lastly, I am wearing our little Seahorse Rings to complete the look. Our deal at the moment is you can get 2 of them for £7.00.











MERMAID HAIR AND EARS

Hair is important when pretending we're mermaids and our cute Shell and Starfish sets which are only £4.50 set just the right spot! I teamed them with my disco Dolphin earrings which look not quite perfect as I only have my earrings pierced at the top but are so cute and sparkly £7.00. The whole look is completely with our mermlife leotard which is completely durable and can be worn on a night out out or doing sport or is even made so you can go swimming!
Hope you enjoyed my MERMBLOG and had a little giggle and now all have serious MERMMAIDVIBES!

Love and sparkles!
Lo XOXO

New Beginnings

Hey, Hola, Ciao,

Im Lo :-) and welcome to my new blog! 

I want to write about:

Outfit ideas OTTD
Places To Travel
My adventurelanduk item of the week.
Work Out Ideas,Tips And Sports
Healthy Food
Women that inspire me 
 I'm also happy to write about things you would like me to write about?? Let me know


Here's a really quick history lesson on who I am (YAWN!)

I own a little company called www.adventurelanduk.com
I grew up on a little holiday island called Tenerife.This fed my fascination with the ocean and its creatures. I was a total wild beach girl and my nickname was Mowgli. As a teenager we moved back to London where I was signed as an Agency model. I have currently been working as a model and in marketing for about 6 years! I adore all sorts of sport and think sporty girls are so motivating! From skiing to horseriding to football seriously can't get enough of it.
"Adventureland was thought up while I was on a job shooting a princess fairytale book. I thought about how much I would like all girls to have that feeling that you get when you dress up and feel like a princess!!"
I like to think of Adventureland as a affordable place where you can live out part of your own fairytales.
My next blog post and my 1st proper post will be on fitness,health and workout.
Lots of Love & Sparkles
Lo xoxo
