Black & Mint


Dress - Love (via Asos), Blazer - BB Dakota, Bag - Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC, Sunnies - Joe Fresh, Shoes - Zara, Bangle - Garbo, Bracelets - H&M & Banana Republic, Necklace - H&M

This shoot was my first experience with a tripod. And man, oh man, it was difficult. It was cold, the sun was playing peek-a-boo with me, and people were giving me strange looks. But all and all, I had so much fun and I'm quite happy with how things turned out. The one advantage of using a tripod is that you can take as many pictures as you want. That way, you're not abusing your significant other or your sister's patience (how many times have I said, "just one more of the shoes please?")

My extra long weekend will be a good one as I will be going on a little trip where, holy crap, there will be a Zara store. I can't wait!

    You have an incredible body and I love this outfit - you look great; really great! I really like your shoes and I've been hunting for a pair like them.

    The tripod sounds like a good idea - so far I've just set my camera on self timer and balanced it on all sorts of weird things: today I used a match box. If I end up investing in a good quality camera one day I'll be sure to consider investing in a tripod too!

      Thank you Flora! Tripods are a great investment! Although, I did the same thing as you for years - it's an art the balancing of a camera on various objects! ;)

      Thanks Sandra! It's such a good bag - I've worn it every day for almost six months. Never failed to match what I was wearing! :)

    Love the oversize lace pattern of the dress, the mix of accessories, and the touches of black to tone down the mint hue's daintiness!

      Zara takes you down a slippery slope once you start. I already have my eye on so many pairs!

    Thanks for the inspiration!!

    "Just one more of the shoes, please." That sounds so familiar! I'm lucky that my husband loves photography, I don't know how I would manage with a tripod - although I must say, I'm so impressed by your photos, especially for a first attempt. And your mint dress is stunning :)

    Gorgeous outfit! Love your RM purse (I have the same one in grey!) And I can totally relate to wanting to use a tripod instead of bugging your significant other and/or a family member! "Why do you need so many pictures of one outfit?!" - my boyfriend

      Hahaha, that sounds so familiar. The secret eye rolls are more what my boyfriend does.
