CHICABON VID 3: BARCA

Here's a little video from when I went to visit Dario with our sister in Barca. Abit of sunshine to take your mind of this horrible weather.

Merry Christmas!

I met up with the lovely Clare Harrison, music journalist and creator of Est1987. 

We've been trying to meet up for ages and it was definitely worth the wait. She was great to work with and even shared a few good music venues to check out later.

We shot around Primrose hill and managed to fit in breakfast too.

Check out her blog Est1987 and follow her on Twitter to see what shes up to.

CHICABON - B/W

You may notice that this weekend we've been making some changes to the site.

Change no.1 has been our background and I want to show you my final three choices taken from Alida's shoot with Maria. Her photos looked great and so did Maria so it wasn't hard to get some interesting edits done, black and white's always good and I like the Autumnal feel we got.

Maria is such a chilled girl with many fingers in many pies, check out her work and her tumblr to find out more about what she does and the ever changing colour of her hair.

ALIDA: NEW ADDITIONS

Bought myself some new clothes for the winter, including these chocolate New Balance 373's that I am in love with. I also pushed the boat out and bought jeans that weren't black, lucky enough to grab these 501's in Oxfam for 8 little ones.

The "fur" lined parka from Zara is the definition of warmth and winter comfort.

I prefer autumn and winter much more purely for the wardrobe.

TOKYO DUB : STREET STYLE

This weekend I went down to Bristol to see some friends and go to Tokyo Dub festival at Castle Park. Whilst I was there I did some trainer spotting and took a few photos for the blog.

DARIO - CHICABON COAT OF ARMS

This footwear inspired Coat of Arms I made a while ago has gone untouched and unnoticed for quite some time now. Too long maybe so I thought I'd post it here for your eyes to enjoy.

 I'm Starting to get excited about applying our designs to some garments in the coming months and thinking this design in particular should sit nicely on a T or tote bag. 

VANESSA OUTTAKES

Here are a few outtakes from my shoot with Vanessa including some film shots I took using expired film so the colours are abit mad but I quite like it!

We are in the process of organising loads more shoots all over the UK as well as a shoot in Barca with a sports company, all abit hush hush for now.

If you would like to be shot for the blog please don't be shy, give us a shout on twitter and email us on chicasbonita1@gmail.com with abit about yourself, a photo of you and some of your favourite pairs of trainers.

We've had great feedback so far and so many views after just a week, please spread the word and get involved!
