Look of the Day: French Blue


Ok, I think I've gotten to the point where I need some help with my photos. It's time to take a class. This winter light is just too harsh for me to deal with. These turned out ok, but, try as I may, post processing has not made them look natural or anywhere close to as good as I'd like them to look.

I took photo through middle school and high school, but it was for old fashioned cameras (digital cameras still took floppy disks). What I do remember from class seems hard to apply to my digital SLR, even though it should translate just the same. I get by on luck, is what I'm trying to say.

How did you learn about lighting and photo editing?


This skirt is from a fantastic set a got at Value Village after Thanksgiving. It came with a matching belt and blouse (not shown). Unfortunately, one of it's previous owners wore it with a blue jacket or cardigan that was not colorfast and so the blouse has some blue stains on the arms. I've decided to keep it and sell the skirt and belt. You can buy the pair on my Etsy shop! You can also buy the striped bateau top I've paired it with!

Look of the Day: Spring Patterns

Pattern Mixing, seattle, street style, fleur d'elise, neon, clutch, tribal
This past weekend, Seattle was blessed with sunny, fair weather. It felt like Spring, despite the chilly breeze. I tried to dress like the wind didn't exist and ended up freezing by the evening on both Friday and Saturday. It's hard not to get overly exited by sun in March. Thank goodness Spring is only a week away!

I took these photos out back, but the very bright photos were shot on the roof again. It was too sunny up there so it was hard to get good shots where my face wasn't all squished up and grumpy-looking. The reflective coating on the roof makes it very warm, as well as bright, so it always feels like summer up there! I'm still experimenting, but I think the roof is going to be a good place to shoot photos on darker days.

My mom made this amazing bracelet for me last year. The beetle is an old clasp of some sort, which she attached to a piece of velvet. I love bugs, especially beetles, so I'm pretty crazy about this bracelet!

Too bright.

I'm so glad I bought this blazer. A blazer is one of those items that every closet needs. It goes with almost everything; even this colorful, pattern-saturated outfit!

Look of the Day: Literally Black + Blue

winter fashion, rayban sunglasses, fleur d'elise, classic vans

I don't know about you, but my brain always goes to the most obvious cliche when I'm thinking up post titles. I had originally dismissed the over-used reference to the colors I was wearing, but then fate struck me down. Also, literally. I fell, not once, but twice yesterday. I was totally convinced that I had a brain tumor and was loosing the ability to walk, but I'm pretty sure it can be blamed on unfortunate sidewalk cracks and curbs that are way, way too high for a "pedestrian friendly" outdoor shopping center.

fleur d'elise, blazer, forever21, blonde pixie cut, minimalist

The first time I fell, I just sat on the sidewalk until I recovered. My ankle was a little sore, but nothing too bad. Well, the right one (second ankle I injured) currently has a lump the size of a golf ball. I'm worried it's actually really sprained, but hoping the R.I.C.E. will speed up recovery.

 In happier news, I got a remote for my camera, so I got to do a lot of moving around for these photos :)
