<br />
After the roller-coaster of the summer experienced, I come bearing multiple news. Firstly, we now have the new <a href="http://www.mycapaciousbottega.com/" target="_blank">MYCB</a> site launched. Until I have a couple of part timers on board, things will be decidedly quiet there for a while but by gosh, does it not look good. <br />
<br />
I have made some great blogging friends and I hope all will all be able to share this new chapter of the never-ending journey with me. Who says Fashionistas don't think as hard as they shop hey!<br />
<br />
I am having a ball currently and not even a truckload of Kirkwoods could make me happier - sacrilegious or what :p <br />
<br />
p.s I shall be casting for in-house models (x2) in the new year for a very exciting fashion related venture of mine. Stay tuned!</div>Mulika Harnetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14408947870617638940noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070668100088524728.post-22453550485453539712011-08-25T21:13:00.000+01:002011-08-25T21:13:54.513+01:00A Change is Gonna Come...<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Guys, guys, guys, what can I say!!<br />
<br />
For those left on my read list. I thank you for sticking with me when I wasn't giving you much reason to do so. My Capacious Bottega is finding its feet outside of cyber-space as Shoot Content Producers and though I promise that all will be revealed soon for now I must keep schtum. However, what better way to mark this new brand new chapter of the MCB journey than with a brand spanking new online identity! And that is what we shall have. Stay tuned for sure, meanwhile I leave you with this snippet from an original MCB production... <br />

I have bought 24 pairs of shoes this week. I shit you not. Net-A-Porter & Kurt Geiger bore the main brunt of it all. I wish I could say they were all for shooting purposes but no, I am just a huge unapologetic shoe-whore. Want to see pics just holler!<br />

The girl posts! Where I have been is prepping the production arm of MCB primed for full assault on publications by styling mega concept shoots the summer through. BUT that does not mean the blog is to be neglected because of this. In fact, all the 'seriousness' of the business side of MCB makes it easier to find the fun in blogging just for fun!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I undertook a 5 day challenge this week to see how I can best rock the current offerings on the high street and this is look no' 1. Yes, my hair is currently, according to Foxy Locks, 'Cherly Cole' red....She was way popular back when the weave was ordered but I digress.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I know I must seem partial to online shopping but seriously, I am not averse to shopping on the British high street and I really do believe there are plenty of affordable clothes to be excited about 'out there'. I am purposely featuring items from certain stores that some might imagine was not in fitting with MCB styling model but it is not all about high end couture here. You all know I like me some expensive shoes but I mix that up with vintage, indie designs, charity shops, established labels and high street. If the skirt looks familiar that is because you remember<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;"> </span><i><a href="http://www.mycapaciousbottega.com/2011/04/sunni-dusk.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">this</span></a>.....</i></span><br />

With myself and an assistant on hand you would think styling would be on point, right! Nope! Spot the crooked neck-tie if you can. Grrr. Who knew I had the perfectionist gene in me!?<br />
<br />
Major thanks as ever to all involved in bringing about the vision to life. The concepts are just getting more and more fantastical in my head. I swear. I am thinking stags, huskies, white horses.....but for now I give you the Impish Natalia in her secret garden.<br />
<br />
A huge resounding HELLO to all my subscribers, old and new. Thank you for bearing with the blog changes a la direction like troopers. I have been asked via FB when I will be featuring myself on the blog again and I can promise it will be soon....once I sort my weave out!<br />

Reason for the time-out? Managing the most awesome series of shoots whilst also acting as Stylist. To say the past month has been hectic would be an understatement but darn I have never felt more alive. Seriously. Enough of my rambling intro. I present to you Airy Nothings. A collaboration between many brought about by the commitment of 9 individual creatives. And that is where this blog is going. Cooking up Home Baked Editorials for your consumption. The pleasure in putting together a team with mutual artistic interest and creating images of note excites me and the opportunity to style is a bonus. Expect more. Lots more!<br />

My darling in-house Photographer / Hubby wanted to play about with some new lights, which I would say he did successfully, non? My styling brief was simple: fur & some sparkle / glitter. I knew straightaway a head-wrap would be the<b><i> perfect</i></b> accompaniment but the challenge was to find 'blow-me away' material in house with virtually no notice! <br />
<br />
<a href="http://juneambrose.com/">June Ambrose</a> might sell her Turbans for $125-150 a pop and good on her. However the colourful cloth bazaar adorning my head, a <b><span style="font-size: x-small;">remixed</span></b> turban a la MCB, is in fact a vintage dress (a.k.a styling manna from the gods) that cost me less than 10 quid. I spotted it casually draped on the banister as I went off to see to my face and it spoke to me!<br />

When life seems intent to bash you on the head, put something fun on. I chose a vintage jumpsuit bought from To Be Worn Again in Brighton which I posted about <a href="http://www.mycapaciousbottega.com/2011/03/laines-brighton.html" style="color: #e06666;">here</a>. I love the geometric, art deco-esque patterns. And the Topshop sandals make yet another reappearance. I put my hands up; they are my crush of the month!<br />

This post has been waiting to go out for DAYS but Blogger meltdown meant scheduling matters were totally out of my hand. It seems many of us have lost posts and even comments. That sucks. Blogger - fix up. I am now considering a move to Word Press or even transferring my blog to my personal domain....<br />
<br />
We were burgled yesterday but be assured that no item of clothing nor shoes were stolen. Yes, the mental fashionista in me did drive home thinking of finding all my shoes gone as well and saying a little prayer about the storage situation. They did however steal ALL my high value jewellery. Other items got taken but they are not as pertinent to the blog so not worth mentioning. And I don't even want to talk about it anymore :(<br />
<br />
Oh, yeah, they also stole Hubby's camera....I took mine to school with me in the morning, something I almost never do and I am glad I did. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">Will be surprising Hubby with a new 5D mark II as soon as I get my head together.</span><br />

Well, I thought I would treat you all to another of my own design. I have said it before and I will say it again - I find this seriously nerve-wracking, okay, maybe that is slightly dramatic a description but there is a nervousness attached because I am putting myself out there under the guise of designer. Your comments will help shape the final output of the label so please don't be shy but forthcoming with your feedback</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

Here I am all flared up but of course in a non-aggressive manner ( Yep, title linked no problem, tick for me)!<br />
<br />
When it comes to Charlie's Angels casting, I get the title by default, of which I would never complain of 'exotic' angel. I found myself referencing the original Angels for this shoot and I chose Farrah Fawcett to channel, though you and I know that this is not really about the Charles Townsend (Charlie) Agency but more, in that ever subtle MCB remixed manner, my own nod to the '70s!<br />
<br />
However, should you like to inform me of which 'angel' you would be cast as, leave me a note in the comment section ;)<br />

Bar these images that my hubby lovingly worked on for me to share with you.

We are experiencing yet another bank holiday in the UK and I feel these pictures perfectly capture the mood of fun and frivolity of having time on your hands to play. Debbie Harry popped in for a short moment in spirit very early on in this shoot and for a short minute I was <i>that</i> girl in the band. But then the children BBC presenter in me sprung to life. <br />

I still think I would make a great kiddie presenter because at times my energy levels scare me! Do you like the pictures. Hubby is loving playing around with the sets we are putting out and I hope we have more fans than not! <br />

Remember the wedding I mentioned? No, not the Royal Wedding! The one that Woody, darling daughter, had been invited to not only be a flower girl at but also a reader (<a href="http://www.bartleby.com/108/46/13.html" style="color: #e06666;">Corinthians 13 1-13</a>). Well, the girl did good and of course I gave as many tips as any Drama school trained mother would! Needless to say she used lots of vocal muscularity and lent a rainbow of colour to the words :) Hubby and I were/are very, very proud parents.<br />
<br />

But yes, yes, on to what I wore! I did consider 'doing' a<a href="http://www.mycapaciousbottega.com/2010/10/last-of-summer-wine.html" style="color: #e06666;"> dress</a> because weddings = dresses, no? No! I understand that at times, it feels like the easiest style solution when faced with a 'proper' occasion to attend (such as a wedding). However, separates can work just as beautifully and look just as effortless as a dress. Especially when perfectly accessorised, as I hope this set proves.<br />

The business cards look so<i> seriously professional</i> that the very act of owning them MAKES me feel ordained a proper blogger and I would like to say a huge hello to all that have found <b>MCB</b> by following the URL.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">.....Endless bank holiday weekend, surprise royal weddings, Jacques Cider over ice, tanning without trying, claiming your patch all over London parks. Blackheath, Brockwell, Hampstead - no green space to be found, all occupied with bodies begging to be kissed by the sun. All on a mission to make the heat last; pass through them and remind them that this is it, summer has reared its head. Sozzled with sun. Beaming, knowing the heat and drinks combo only brings about one thing but no head space for that right about now. You've got your vintage sun bather on. Suddenly dreaming of Tree-tops in Kenya, St.Lucian Pitons and white Mauritian beaches. Hot is not what you are seeking but a fever. Sliding plump green olives in mouth and discreetly spit stone out. Philadelphia and Strawberry Jam sandwich bagels makes you think of impending Wimbledon. The sun shine continues to beam down and the cheeky monkey, which we so longed to come out to play, soon has you seeking refuge in tree shade. Admit it, you are festival ready!</span><br />

I haven't managed a full week at Drama school this week which sucks but on a positive note, I have hardly sucked as a Mom or Wife this week so I guess it is all relative! Ooh, I should also inform all that I have had a <a href="http://www.mycapaciousbottega.com/2011/03/you-make-me-like-charity.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">Clown breakthrough</span></a> as of yesterday. Yippee!!<br />
<br />
We have a family wedding to attend this weekend in which Woody has an important role to play as she is one of the bridesmaid and also a reader. I am a v<i>ery very</i> proud Mom. Although today, in fact the week, has been spent stressing over her dress arriving on time, the perfect shade of ivory shoes (Monsoon saved the day) and getting her hair done in the very specific style requested by the bride for the entire bridal party. I, of course, took the opportunity to fresh up my weave, and God knows it needed it. I guess it wouldn't hurt to mention that I am quite excited about rocking my self -styled outfit for the wedding. I seriously cannot wait to show you all and get your feedback :)<br />

These images are from the holiday, which already feels a million years ago. In a way the outfit is also a real thumbs-up to the high-street from me. We took pictures of other things than me posing and I might put the non-fashion snaps on my <a href="http://mulika.tumblr.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">Tumblr</span> </a>for fear of boring you all here! On a final note, I feel like I have not eaten or slept for days but that is surely impossible. Right?!<br />

Found this spotted playsuit for $10 and not only did I snap it up immediately, I made like a child and wore it out to dinner the same night! Promise to show more pics from the holiday that does not involve me pulling awkward faces at the camera but for now enjoy me looking like sozzled jail bait / junkie crack-whore! Or not as the case may be.<br />
<br />
I should mention that it is way past bed time but we are working on new business cards and banner for the site and when I say we, I mean hubby. Seriously, give the man a medal!<br />
<br />
Not sure if I should use up all the holiday style pics first before resorting back to the home-baked editorials we do so well....<br />
<br />
THANK YOU to all my readers, old and new, for continuing to read, comment and support MCB as it grows from a new born baby to a toddler finding its feet. I now feel like a teen that knows what it wants to do with its life so do stick around for fun times ahead. My head is buzzing with ideas for the blog and how to involve YOU all more :)<br />

Oh, the drama to be found on the British high Street. Can you feel it? Or do you need me to add words to make it even more so dramatic?<br />
<br />
These images makes me want to respond somehow...might have to remind myself that I have been known to take pen to paper in the past. And yes, the shock of it, I am wearing an item of clothing from *******<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">So readers, I guess what I’m saying is keep an open mind, take a chance, do something crazy or ridiculous, talk to a stranger on the bus, smile instead of scowling at your fellow passengers and you might brighten someone’s day or even make a new friend, even if your hangover from the weekend is kicking in, or you are dreading a grilling from your boss, or you just can’t be bothered, do it anyway! </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><br />

I should say I was getting a sense of someone much more cool and current <strike>(<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>PINK for example</b></span></strike><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b> <strike>but am I showing my age when I label her as cool & current</strike></b>) </span>when we shot these but I had good ol' <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lydon" style="color: #e06666;">Johnny Rotten</a> in mind all the way.<br />
<br />
Something about these images make me want to scream "<i>We run the State</i>" but we don't, so I shall, instead, bid you a jolly good day and assure you that you shall not be left wanting in my absence. Oooh, what could that mean hey....<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This, I realised, retrospectively, is a subtle head gesture (some could call it a nod but I refuse to confirm on this) to the hottie from Blondie. Yes, it can't be denied there is a preppy urbanite snaking about the set but the Debbie Harry attitutde was turned up mega on the amp. We missed a trick in not allowing her to be the soundtrack of the shoot but fun was still had regardless. Bless. Anyway, enjoy and no, I have not dyed my hair grey. My hubby calls it highlighting. I kinda like it. Might get him to dip dye my hair in photoshop saving me a trip to the hair-dressers! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The lovely <a href="http://taxonomyofmywardrobe.blogspot.com/"><span class="post-author vcard"><span class="fn">Veshoevius</span></span> </a>awarded me a Stylish Blogger Award and I must say it came as a surprise mainly because I was unaware of the award's existence. I am not sure what I have done to deserve the award but I am going to take it as the compliment I know it is. There are a few actions required to accept the award and that involves showing respect to the bestower and quite rightly so. The idea behind the award is that you pass it on to spread some blog love to other blogger you interact with. If nominated you are meant to do the following<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;">: </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1)Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">2)Share 7 things about yourself. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">3)Award 10 recently discovered great bloggers. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">4)Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; line-height: normal;"></span></span></span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

I follow her because I like her warm style of writing, her personal style and I find the gracefulness with which she wears dark colours quite refreshing and yes, inspiring. We also own the same maxi Marble Print silk dress (she bought it, blogged it and I had to have it) So, once again, thank you Veshoevius for being a cool blog mate and for awarding me a stylish blogger.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

I ought to promise to try and keep it as succinct as possible but we all know that brevity evades me at the best of times. Finally, after sharing, I get to pass on the Stylish Blogger Award to 10 recently discovered great bloggers, which I have to say I am particularly looking forward to.</span></span></div><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You know what, it only takes a few minutes of processing before you (read: I) start liking the sound of it - Stylish Blogger - in your head. Try it if you don't believe me!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So, what would I like to share? An Actors training is meant to aid the shedding of that which we call ego, that which inhibits you by desiring you to be interesting, rather than allowing one to simply be... </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Okay, totally random but that leads me straight to my 1st disclosure. I am obsessed with Theatre Practice. The unreasonable passion and corporeal practice of creating and immersing oneself into that which we call Theatre. I love the reflective nature with which we approach our practice and best of all I love knowing that the process, often unseen, that we often spend an age married to lives longest. And that the performance is never an end point but rather a catalyst for a creative big-bang. Thus the cycle repeats. I love Theatre and always want it to be a part of my professional life in one way or another.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My 2nd disclosure is relative. I really want a PhD, though I think this might have more to do with the Nigerian in me. I have a serious obsession with letters after my name which I thought was mildly satiated after gaining my Masters. Seriously. We moved to this fine country for a grand education after all, the kind (of education) with such gravitas attached that we <i>had </i>to leave our homeland to attain it, and I guess there is a part of me still battling with 'when is the debt really paid between old country of mind and new country of mine'. And I even wonder at times whether I am meant to take all I have learnt back 'home'. I could be the Augusto Boal of Lagos but oh, of course, I forgot myself for a moment, for I am home... So yeah, I think this 'disclosure' is pregnant with subtext and should not be read as a revelation to spend my 40s as a 5" heels wearing academic at Aberystwyth University Theatre department.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">3rd disclosure is that I used to be a total control freak over what I was allowed to weigh. A lot of it had to do with work but I did not need much encouragement. I was fit and had enough stamina for the lifestyle I led. I got to believing I just could not put on weight. Pregnancy did not change my body bar stretch marks but I got to my late 20s' and things such as metabolism and all that sexy stuff started to shift and change. The days of being a model size 6 seemed a century ago but hey I was also naturally athletic so resorting to the gym was kind of a treat. I fell in love with a shrinking body whilst having regular sessions, like an addict, at Spin, Body pump, Circuit and Pilates classes. I was in control of my body once again and then I did the unmentionable. 10 months into a 1 year membership, I just stopped going.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWuaq8_CFsh0bhRMDH2W3b9yJT2q-cKlWYRQIxD0jwt8MvzkTtx0WUirLs4o8mzJ_wvm59Ri8J5K8HD1q0Ssa5qD0NrJ3jU_zjntVtyRSetAQU0NCMhVqQUXymAgk6FhtZcmiROijM0_c/s1600/yellowTurban2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWuaq8_CFsh0bhRMDH2W3b9yJT2q-cKlWYRQIxD0jwt8MvzkTtx0WUirLs4o8mzJ_wvm59Ri8J5K8HD1q0Ssa5qD0NrJ3jU_zjntVtyRSetAQU0NCMhVqQUXymAgk6FhtZcmiROijM0_c/s640/yellowTurban2.jpg" width="398" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Disclosure 4 I guess links well to the above in that having been married exactly 10 months today (Yes, I am still very much a newly-wed) , I am learning that lots of control devices we utilise in our daily life and interpersonal relationships are built on fear. Marriage is teaching me that I would rather deal with my fears than mask them under a guise for control.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">At work and more recently at school, I use each environment as an exercise to observe my 'control monster' specially focusing on what fear trigger it responds to. I work often with others and I am aware of my role within groups. I embrace ensemble model of training and I initiate collaboration knowing my unique skill set is acknowledged and required. That way I remind myself that control can be manifested in a variety of shapes, many positive.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">No.5 I like trashy TV. I don't get to watch quite enough but I would if I could. Things like Salt & Pepa R back, Cougars & Cubs locked up on a Desert Island, Notting Hill Residents 24/7, Australian Border Control, Come Dine with me repeats whilst complaining loudly that it is a repeat. Right now, I am making do with Model Agency but it is not grimy enough for me!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am trying to make this a free-writing exercise - can you tell? - okay, no, well, on to no' 6 right? I cannot wait till summer. Why? Because we get to move into our family home. We are all being very patient about this but I need to move, I need space back in my life. I want all my shoes back, out of the holds of the Big Yellow Storage and re-established on my upper floor dressing room in made to measure shelves. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And to the last, no.7, quite simple really. If there were a tablet you could take that would stop you being late, I would pop it without a second thought. My lateness makes me want to punch myself in the face at times and I apologise a hundred times to the human race for every person that has ever had to wait on me. Now, past and in the future. I am getting better, I swear.</span><br />

</div>If you follow on <a href="http://twitter.com/mulika">twitter</a> you know that I somewhat dealt with my Primark aversion this past week. The shirt the entire set is built around is from said shop and yes, before you ask, I bought more than the solitary shirt. Before you scorn, let me state my case. I almost think there is something immoral about clothing being available that cheap - it beggars the question 'who is profiting here' but the politics aside, I hate crowds of people and I hate queuing hence why I don't do Carnival and I would rather pay a bit extra to be fast-tracked on to the plane!<br />
