I'll make love to you, like you want me to










Excuse me for the picture heavy post (is it really anything new, though?), but I AM IN LOVE WITH MY NEW LENS. I've been using a 50 mm that's older than I am, but I splurged on a brand new, shiny Sigma 17-70 mm. See the lustful stares I am giving my camera? Yeah, that's how I feel about Mr. 17-70 mm. It is actually easy to focus! Maybe all the pictures my boyfriend takes will not turn out blurry and out of focus like before! OMG! It actually does not make me look 15 lbs heavier than I really am! I can stop dieting! OMG! I'll still probably use my good ol' fiddy for most portraits since the aperture is better, but I have a temporarily fetish with new lens.

So, yay.

I thought up this outfit combo last night before bed and--amazingly--it worked like a dream when I put it on today. I love this skirt, although it's rather constricting so I have to skim along, taking small steps. Reminds me of Memoirs of a Geisha. Except I'm not Japanese. But neither is Ziyi Zhang.

I'm really burnt out on accessories, as you can tell. OH, and I feel obligated to inform you all: that is not my real toofy smile, that is my fake, annoying toofy smile. Yeah, see, click here. This is the real deal.

Dress (tucked in, worn as a blouse): Urban Outfitters
Skirt: Forever 21
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell
Sunglasses: Juicy Couture

  1. I don't think I've ever seen you smile before! Your face, your curves....you should be on Mad Men. Seriously.

  2. I like your idea to use a dress as a blouse -- very versatile.

    And I believe that style of skirt is often called a "hobble" skirt for the reason you mention: its impairment to moving. Despite that practical limitation, gathering the material at the knees creates a dramatic curved silhouette which I love.

    And zoom-lenses are the best!

  10. I've been looking for a maxi skirt but have had any success yet. Forever21 still hates me but I suppose I could take a little visit in there again and see what they have. :P

  14. That skirt is from Forever 21!? I would have never guessed it!

    Yay for the hourglass frame! This looks good on you.

    I love wearing dresses as blouses too, I find I can get away with it mostly with stuff from American Apparel (like the double U neck dress looks FANTASTIC paired with different skirts, gives it a whole new look)

    Thanks so much for commenting on my blog :) <3
