It is always a pleasure to come there for a shooting, to browse their enormous collection of clothes and shop till you drop.... Which is why you´ll probably see a few non-shop photos of Lucky Lola dresses as well - well, who could resist shopping when shooting? ;-) I always love to return there, that´s for sure!

Photoshooting with Tate Millinery Part 1
Hello everyone,
last weekend I took a superlong drinve (20 minutes;-) to a neighbour town and shot with lovely Karen from Tate Millinery and her just as lovely husband Andrea! We photographed around 30 hats (estimated number - I lost count because it were SO MANY beautifull hats!) within 3 hours (plus and hour for hair and make up and maybe another one for cupcakes).
So consider this part 1 of at least 4-5 parts full of awesome hats! Keep your eyes on the Online Shop as well and keep in mind: Most of those hats are customizable! So if you think by yourself "Oh, I love this hat, but it wouldn´t go with the clothes I have" - send a message to Tate Millinery to explore the options available! For your convenience I added the links straight to the hat below the picture.
Did I promse too much? Those hats are truely awesome with great details and made by hand! Keep your eyes peeled for more!

Last Shooting with my old hair....
Hello everyone,
I was completely convinced that I posted this lovely photos by Wu.nderland Photography MONTHS ago, however when I went to check I noticed that, well, I HADN´T. It must be my old age, that´s for sure! However it´s also my last photos with red hair and blonde streak, now it is red and black streaks all the way :-D
Enjoy my blonde streak for the last time ;-)

Grace and Glory - a book by Paula Kopczynski
Hello everyone,
I had the pleasure to work with Paula during two occasions, so when she asked me whether I wanted to see a preview of her newly released book "Grace and Glory" and whether I wanted to write a review about it I was on board immediately!
I have to tell the funny and slightly weird story on how we got to know each other first. A few years ago the lovely Anne-Marie Morschek, designer of the lovely Shop Fräulein Valentine which happened to be in my neighborhood had a flyer in her shop window where someone was looking for models for an upcoming vintage styling book. As I am always on the look out for fun shooting I sent an email to the email adress stated on the flyer, along with some og my most beloved photos and I got an reply from Paula.
It was something along the lines of "Is there any chance you happen to know my father?". After inquiring I found out that YES I had shooted in her dads studio with one of his photography students a few years back. What a fantastic and highly unlikely coincidence! so off course we were shooting for the book "Rock ´n´ Hair" together and the rest is history ;-)
Anyway, Paula has taken some amazing photos of beautifull retro ladies and gentlemen, both at studios, outdoors events etc etc and has put a collection of those into her new book "Grace and Glory". A few previously unreleased ones of myself are in it too, in case you wonder.
The book summary states: "As a creative, free spirit, she dedicates this book to her passion fervor for the mid-century. She combines the self-conception of the modern Lady and the contemporary masculinity with the glamorous look of that period. Those men and women are self-confident and in proper-style. They know what the want and they know how to style themselves. To collect all these images, Paula traveled throughout the world. The photos were shot within Europe, US, Australia, South Africa and Russia in between 2009-2014. She varies between using analog and digital cameras. The book is mainly shot with a digital medium format camera, as well as, 50's analog camera, and polaroid. The round about 200 photos show the rockabilly scene, the 50's, vintage, PinUps, Burlesque, HotRods, Car races ... and much more!"
On 164 pages you get to see beautifull people at beautifull places and amazing cars, so if you have a soft spot for those things (and let´s face it, who hasn´t?) it is really a book you should consider buying. Personally I allways love to look at other ladies and get inspired by their hair, make up, clothes etc... It probably says a lot about the quality of the book by stating that I have ordered a printed copy for myself ;-) I will make sure to post some photos of old me once it as come :-)

A cuuuuute hat by Tate Milinery
Hello everyone,
I got the cutest hat from Tate Milinery. Look at this little beauty! It is sooooo cute and looks perfect for fall!
A very important aspect: It looks exactly like on the pictures in the online shop! I mention that because sometimes things are a slightly different color in real life. Based on the hat I can say: Not danger for that. Those little beautys look exactly the way they are displayed.
The pictures from the shop:
Photos that I took of them in real life:
"It´s about time that women wear hats again. My fascinators and headpieces want to be worn for the world to see. They are handmade with a lot of love and inspired by hats from the 1920s - 1960s" states Karen, the founder of Tate Milinery and it is true. One can tell they are really made with love. I LOVE vintage hats, but rarely wear them out because I am scared they might get damaged (sun, rain, you name it). I am more confident about reproductions because they are no as fragile.
Not only the top is pretty. The backside it just as lovely. I appreciate little details like that.
There are maaaany more hats in Karens Online shop.
This is only about half of them and I am sure you will find something you love! Personally I hope to have a shooting where I can wear this cutie soon!!! Thank you Karen for this lovely, pretty hat <3 br="">

First photos from my Shooting for "Rock Rooms" and "fürs Herz"
Hello everyone!
Iam not shooting a lot presently, especially considering my blog is called "The Pin up diaries". It was just way too warm the past weeks and I focused more on spending time with my better half than planning shoots :-) So I was very happy when beeing asked to do a shooting for Rock Rooms and für´s herz. So we spent a day in a nice backyard and had a lot of fun shooting. And here are some of the first results :-)
