Shine









Wearing:
Jacket - Forever 21 | Blouse - Princess Vera Wang | Trousers - Jennifer Lopez for Kohls | Heels - Seychelles | Purse - Clarks | Choker - self made

Boy was it bright when I took these pictures.  Because of the brightness, it really made my hair shine.  Initially I didn't want to wear my sunglasses for these photos, but because of just how bright it was, my eyes were literally watering without them.  I don't know about you, but I have super light-sensitive eyes, so I'm constantly wearing my sunglasses.  I sometimes like to joke that when I get married (many, many years from from now), my husband will not just be marrying me but also my sunglasses.  That being said, I managed to keep them off for a few of the photos, and I really like the way they turned out.
I recently bought a new lens for my camera, and I think it's making a real difference on how my photos are looking.  In my personal opinion, I think my photos look a lot more professional now.  I have also been trying to find more interesting places to take my photos than just my drive way; I've really been enjoying this parking garage that's downtown.  What do you think about the new look of my photos?
Regarding my outfit, I've been searching for the perfect look to go with this choker.  My mom made it for me when she made a number of my other ones; I love this one, but at almost two inches wide, it can be difficult to style it just by how overpowering it can be.  I eventually decided on this tank because of how thin the straps are.  I thought the thin straps contrasted will with the thickness of the choker.  To keep the choker the center piece of the look, I just added simple black trousers and silver sandals (which, by the way, are the sandals I wore with my silver slip dress at my cousin's wedding, which I wasn't able to get a picture of that day; that post can be found here).  The jacket I added last minute because it was just so windy, I thought for sure I'd be too cold without it.

Portland Wedding Guest




Wearing
Dress - Topshop

Hello again!  Over the past weekend, my mom and I flew down to Portland for a family wedding.  It was the second wedding I've gone to this summer, but it was completely different than the last.  This trip went by incredibly fast - we were only gone for about four days - but I always love being able to spend time in Portland.  
This wedding was on the rooftop of the EcoTrust building in the Pearl District of Portland.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with Portland, the Pearl District is an older neighborhood in downtown Portland that was formally an industrial area before turning old warehouses into art galleries, businesses, and homes.  It's a very charming area that definitely showcases the revitalization of oldtown Portland.
This wedding was a bit more casual than the last one I went to, and it definitely had a 'home' environment.  Before I wore all black and was so hot, so I decided to switch it up and wear this silver, mid-length number.  I adore this dress from Topshop; when I wear it I feel like I should be in a 1970s disco combined with the slip dresses of the 1990s.  Even my styling was a mix of the two decades.  For jewelry I wore a silver choker (that my kind mother made for me) and for shoes I wore silver heeled sandals similar to the Gucci style that's popular right now.  Sorry for not having a picture of my shoes; I didn't have a ton of extra time at the wedding for pictures.
Finally, making her blog debut, is my photographer/mother!  Doesn't she look great?
Anyway, I have a couple more posts coming up with pictures from this trip, so stay tuned!
