Freedom is a fickle thing.

Freedom to speak.

Freedom to live.

Freedom to create.

Freedom to be.

These are all the freedoms I can't live without.

I'd keep fighting

with my last dying breath

to be free

Check out the video below of how I created my face

Hunger Games

AH! So I absolutely love how these shots came out!

As you should grasp from the title, this look was also inspired by the Hunger Games, especially the scene where Katniss volunteers as tribute. Each of these items are very particular to details in the book, especially the jewelry. The earrings symbolize the feathers at the end of arrows, since obviously I am not going to walk around with a deadly weapon. Secondly, the necklace is a reference to the second book, "Catching Fire," so spoiler alert! One of the game makers has a pocket watch with a mockingjay across the face of it, so when I saw this necklace, I knew it would go perfectly with this outfit. The boots are from my first lookbook post, but the boots and the jacket are supposed to be part of her hunting experiences and the actual Hunger Games.

As you may have read before, I am obsessed with these books, so I've envisioned this look for quite awhile as well and finally was able to shoot it. Feel free to share your Hunger Games inspired looks and thoughts about the book in the comments!

For the record, Rue was supposed to be black.

Yes, I am obsessed with the Hunger Games. I've already read through the series twice, seen the movie twice, and would not mind reading through it again. Here are the pieces of the Lookbook post.

 Love the back of this dress. I would definitely recommend a skinny belt, but it didn't fit this look.

 The chain really isn't this long. I had to add another to make it longer. The quality of the necklace is decent, it would have been nicer if it had a more metallic feeling to it.

Other heels/shoes would work also.

I tried to look like a bird as much as possible. I didn't realize the dress was tighter than I remembered. The photo still came out nicely.

In the book, on page 98-99 it describes Rue's features. So for those who disagreed about Rue's actor, read it for yourself.

This has been my favorite way to curl hair. Check it out below.
