BOATS




dress & cardigan - topshop, bag - UO, hat - asos

wearing my very favourite dress! i try not to show it too often on my blog because it's quite a noticeable dress and i don't want you to get bored of it, but i wear it quite often. it always makes me smile. i just love it with this burgundy cardigan, although i felt like maybe the colour scheme here is too autumnal? it's not quite pastel-y enough for spring/summer!

i took these photos with my new 50mm lens, and i was still getting used to it so some of these photos are kinda blurry. it's a great lens though, and i'm hoping it'll make my blog look just a little bit snazzier.

  4. Nice dress and I love the bag as well as the shoes! And congratulations on your new lens! Primes are really THE way to shoot :-)

    Some of your photos are a bit blurry because you stop the lens down way too much (11.3 in the first photo for instance). Try shooting in the Av mode of your 1000D and set the aperture to something between 2.8 and 5.6. That's more than enough and the smaller depth of field will indeed make your photos a bit snazzier ;-)

    Cheers,
    Martin

  5. You have such a signature style, and I quite adore it. I know I don't comment much (shame on me), but really, you're a peach! You inspire me to wear my hats more.

    Anyhow, I can see why this is your favorite dress; you look lovely! xo
