Snow & Sparkle.

The pretty snowflakes interfered with my photo-sesh. See all the little white blurs? Oh well, I forgive them because they're pretty :)



AE pants; F21 button-down; H&M sweater; Spring boots

But my sweater is sparkly! It has sparkly thread woven into the knit, and I find it's a great way to dress up an otherwise "simple" outfit :) I love the zipper at the back too. This was one of my xmas presents from Line and I'm totally in love.

Also, I need someone to be proud of me - I'm going to the gym for the first time in 8 months. With school and a long list of excuses, I hadn't been keeping myself active, but now I have no excuses! My priority is job searching and that leaves me with a bit of time for a gym membership finally!  Yay for feeling healthy again :)

And because I've had other questions about how I take my photos and whether or not I photoshop them: At this point I'm using the automatic settings on my camera. I have an idea of what the manual settings do, but I haven't practiced enough to completely understand how they all work together. With time, I'm sure I'll use them always. Also, I do use iPhoto for photo editing (super basic) and will sometimes lighten the pictures or increase the saturation if they don't turn out as I want, but that's about it. I just got Photoshop Elements and still have to learn how to use it :)

  13. I love that sweater. I wish I could see the sparkles more, but I definitely love the zipper. Whenever you are ready to start shooting in manual (my favorite) you should look up "cheat sheet for manual photography". Someone made this beautiful chart and it's really helpful. Good luck!
