0809: Mondays Always Smell like Garbage






Forever 21 denim vest, Thrifted pants, Akira tank top, street vendor bracelets, Chic Swap bracelet
I've been thinking about investing in a better camera, for obvious reasons, but then I thought, well who really cares anyway? I think it challenges me to wear better outfits and let them speak for themselves. There have been plenty of times where I've just worn a dress and sky-high shoes and the background was the only reason the photo looked good. So, I've decided I don't care enough to get a good camera and if I do, I will be investing in something like this baby with a fucking kick ass lens. But it would be down right stupid to pay that much for a camera to take blog photos. So I'll wait.

I actually really miss my Minolta Maxxum 7000, which is a 35mm SLR. It takes THE best photos. I've decided I'm going to take more photos in film. I'm taking it with me to NY for Fashion Week and will take all of my pictures in film while I'm there. There's something nostalgic about it, which is kind of weird to say.

I went on a bracelet shopping rampage over the weekend at some of the street vendors on Market Street. I love street vendors. Love love love them. They have the best stuff. Bought six bracelets, three of them being these simple red braided ones. And no, this does not count as cheating on my shopping ban....

haha of course bracelets don't count! love this look! so you. and i love the print of your tank. i agree with the photos...i'm so limited with scenery and my camera sucks but it forces me to put more effort into outfits.

Oooooooh, film. Very nostalgic indeed.

I thought about trading up cameras, but decided against it. It won't change your eye or your outfit...it's only a tool. And I think this one looks like it works just fine. =D

I like taking film photos too - although polaroids are my absolute favourite. I miss having an actual photograph in my hand x

You look really lovely, simple yet so cute! Really like your sense of style, I enjoyed the outfit post when you went to lunch with Yara. So funny how she brought a Dutch issue of Grazia (I have it here too!). Insaaaane!
