We've had some trial and error, but I think we have finally figured out a way to get some photos in the rain! I'm pretty sure this was the ultimate test because it was pouring on Sunday. We found a great spot by the water that is covered over but open enough that it still lets in tons of light. It turns out that everyone else knows of this spot as well because there were a bunch of people camped out under the overhang, hoping that the rain would pass. It didn't, so they hung out and watched as we took the photos :)
So, the tights have come out... I've been dreading this unavoidable day, but luckily they go so well with this pretty red and black dress that I don't even mind! This item is a new gift from the wonderful people at Sugarlips and I'm so in love with it. It's hard to tell in photos, but it's a gorgeous textured fabric that is a bit thicker than your average material. It's going to be so perfect for the upcoming holiday season -- the perfect colour for it too! I was very tempted to twirl in this full skirt (it really would be perfect for it) but last time I attempted this, Ollie got a camera full of shots in rapid succession of me mooning him! I wasn't willing to risk it this time, seeing as there were so many couples and small children around. Could have gotten a little awkward...
And yes, I realized that I haven't really taken this hat off since I bought it, but it's just the most perfect thing for this weather. It keeps my head warm, dry, and unfrizzed. And it looks great with everything! I think I might need to get another style so that you don't get too sick of it :)
I was wearing:
Forever 21 Jacket (similar)
Zara Black Hat (similar)
Zara Boots (similar)
Seduce Necklace

ReplyDeleteThe skirt is so "girlie"... I really don't know how you kept from twirling a bit.
Did anyone say anything while you were shooting your photos?
I become a bigger fan of your blog every day.

it´s a perfect and smart combination of style and very goo taste.
ReplyDeleteReally really love this mix and match!
ReplyDeletePretty and classy
Love the photo of you walking in the rain! Way to make Vancouver rain look fashionable! I love the look of opaque black tights and black ankle boots; it elongates the legs and makes the dress stand out even more (and it is an awesome dress at that). Zara has taken my heart...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're in favour of my new colour; it's hard to decide whether you've made the right choice...especially when it's the first time dying it
