Faintly Femme Fatale

Thanks to Weardrobe I have gotten my hands on a sweet Flip Video; so naturally I felt the need to shoot a short, pointless film. It is entirely filmed and edited by me, though I was aided by my trustworthy tripod (so don't expect professionalism). The song is "moonlight sonata" by Beethoven.
video
I was inspired by film noir, so I dressed darkly glamorous. My coat and tights are from Forever 21, the shoes are Bona Drag, the dress Urban Outfitters, the turtleneck H&M, and the bag and necklace are from Modcloth. I find wearing so much black rather harsh and dramatic, but it was entertaining to dress like a character for a day.

I love the video, it reminds me of the movie public enemies, you kinda look like you just robbed a bank ;)

Mary said...

Love the movie. Très mystérieux! Oh, and did you ever pick a winner for the tote bag giveaway?

miriam said...

but your photos are great. love the coat!

Lily Pond said...

Rebecca, I'm such a big fan of all your look, thank you for inspiring great ideas for looks!
This latest one is simply gorgeous and I love the lipstick shade, perfect red !
I'm completely in love with that Urban Outfitters black dress that you seem to wear a lot. It is exactly the shape I'm looking for, in my enduring LBD quest.
Any chance you could give me the reference of this style? Thanks a lot!

Barbro Andersen said...

Such a cute movie! Looks like you had fun :)

Besides; you are beautifully inspiring running around in the forest! The color of your hair really pops out in the black outfit with the red bag =)

That bag is lovely. So is the whole outfit, really.

That film was wonderful! I can totally see the film noir of it, but it would have been so cool in black and white too! Your outfit is lovely, especially with the pop of red from your bag!

Sahakiel said...

I simply love this look, it's great and you're mixing some of my favourite things: leopard, red, black and someone cute as you! <3

WendyB said...

Red, black and leopard? Have you been stealing from my closet? ;-)

I love your little film! I can't believe you managed to shoot it all by yourself, you are a skilled tripod user, I have to say! :)

Tiny Dancer said...

That video of yours is seriously one of the loveliest things I've seen for a while! :)

Gabbi said...

Great video dear Rebecca! You have such a good eye. My favorite part is the end reading note. Very mysterious and pretty. Also, love the outfits. Black and red go so well together.

Manja said...

That's a shame about gilt, but I hope that they will soon ship internationally :)

That video is great, you're really artsy and I like the all black outfit a lot.

Say, what shade/brand of lipstick are you exactly wearing? That red is pretty!

Chelsea Talks Smack said...

That video was so great - I'm amazed that you did it all yourself. I'm trying to master the art of video and editing for a project in one of my classes - eek.

I love the outfits as well. I'm especially loving your red bag!

Lilli said...

Great video! I'm also really loving your jacket!

A Thought Is The Blossom said...

Lucy in the Sky said...

very cool film. :) I think full black ensembles are kind of dramatic, too but that's what I love about them.

Christina said...

I love the film =)

beba, said...

Love the video! You are so talented. And is so impresive that you can do this without help!

Peace and love!

Allie said...

Moonlight Sonata reminds me of my first boyfriend. Hard for me to think fondly of that guy, but that's another can of worms!

Love the video, I admire your creativity.

Tea For Two said...

I adore the quilted bag, it's a stunning statement piece with a black outfit. Red is my thing.

Can I ask, do you actually manage to get reply to each comment that's left here? I mean do you make a point of leaving comments on other blogs when someone comments on yours? I ask because I average around 10 comments per post and I find it tough to get back to everyone, so it must be impossible for you!

Dotti said...

Hey what a fun film! I enjoyed it, talented girl. Give us more of that.

Love, Dotti

You pull off Femme Fatale wonderfully! I will admit, it was a bit shocking at first, since it wasn't what I was used to seeing on you, but I have decided that I really like it.

This is my favourite outfit you've ever sported (black tights with red bag) probably because it's pretty much my uniform. I love black.
