I can’t deny that ever since I met Chelsea, the most interesting events have happened to us. One day I got a call from a friend asking if we would be interested in being in a music video being filmed in the bay area. Of course we said yes! We LOVE music and producing and/or being a part of creative content (hence the blog). We didn’t know many details about it including who or what the video was even for but sent our info to the right place and BOOM! We started receiving emails about the “secret” locations and what our wardrobe was supposed to look like. The most fun we had though was trying to nail down the outfits. This was in our email about what to try to dress as:
They also sent this photo to try to show us what the wardrobe guidelines were supposed to turn out like:
We were a little confused but excited by the challenge! So we dressed up and headed to set. Although, getting to set was also extremely fun. We were given a secret location and a map and told to show up around midnight.
This place was awesome. The views of San Francisco were beautiful and it was like driving through a forest. Once we got to the location was the best part. My friend who works on music video concepts for a label took us around and introduced us to all the people that make these things happen. We ended up at wardrobe where they had racks and racks of clothing for the shoot. It was heaven. Then we got in line with the other people there for wardrobe. It seems we were the only ones who took the wardrobe guidelines to heart and tried to dress up. They were dressing everyone else and changing their outfits. Finally, we got to the stylist where they looked us up and down and claimed – great! We had nailed the look. And here were our outfits, or at least mine. Chelsea’s will be up tomorrow so make sure to check back!
(Forever 21 dress, Litter leg garter, Steve Madden combat boots, and glam Kat Von D lipstick)
(For the actual shoot we disheveled our hair and put twigs in it, they really liked that touch)
This was actually us AFTER we got home from the shoot. So much fun to be around all of the hustle and bustle. We found out once we started getting emails that the shoot was for One Republic’s new song and you know, the song hadn’t been released yet so we had no idea what it was. It’s one of both of our favorites now. We had both had a crazy last year and now are so much better for it which I feel is the point of the song. Check back tomorrow for Chelsea’s wardrobe ace and a link to the video!
San Francisco is lucky enough to have the Terracotta Warrior’s visiting the Asian Art Museum for the next couple of months. I never thought I would have the opportunity to see them in person and I am so thankful I did, they are magnificent!
(The beginning of the exhibit has artifacts that are over 2,000 years old!)
(These are some bells that horses would wear around their necks)
(This helmet is made up of 80+ carefully carved limestone tiles)
(Each Warrior was life-size, they say there are close to 6,000 in total!)
(There are even life-size horses, helping the First Emperor in his afterlife)
(Each piece was carefully painted before they were buried. Now, all that is left is the amber color of the terracotta but I still find them beautiful)
(Love my dark purple pumps, they were actually hand-me-downs from my frover Chels 🙂 )
(Uneven cardigan length is like a mullet – business in front, party in the back)
(I even stepped on the wild side and added some cheetah print in with the floral print)
