{ DARK AND GLOOMY }

Last week I had to let go of one of the things that really matters to me, my Nikon DSLR camera. It was really heartbreaking I had to resist the urge to grab it from the buyer and call off the deal while he was thoroughly inspecting it. I decided to just wait in the car and let my boyfriend deal with the buyer while I struggled with my feelings and convinced myself that it had to be done. If only I had lots of money to upgrade to a new camera and keep the old one on the side, I would. But because we're saving up, a new camera would only be possible by letting go of the old one. :( I hope the new owner takes care of that baby and may they create wonderful memories through pictures together. I know material things are just fleeting. But it's the love and care that you put into a thing that makes it more special and hard to let go. I'm so sentimental. 

And because I'm devoid of a camera now, these lovely photos were taken by the boyfriend to ease my sorrows away. These were shot during a hippie-themed engagement shoot for one of our clients. Even my clothes and the weather reflected my current state of emotion that day; dark and gloomy.

{ BUSY DAYS }

One of the things I got busy on doing while I was on blog offduty: photoshoots! This one particularly I served as a stand-in during settings adjustment, in other words EXTRA. haha

On other occasions, I was working my ass off chasing brides and sitting and lying on the grass just to get that good shot. So for that, no towering heels. Just the most basic and comfortable outfit and fuss-free face. Bordering haggard actually, especially after a long day under the blazing heat. haha But all of that are nothing compared to the feeling of fulfillment when you've reviewed the photos and they turned out just like what you have imagined them to be.

{ WHITE OUT }

If there's one thing in this world I would've wanted to be endowed with naturally it would have to be mile-long legs. It's always been my frustration to be tall. Thank God heels and shorts were invented  they give our legs the illusion of length.

But one has to be cautious also when wearing short shorts. If paired with the wrong top and accessories it might make one appear , yes maybe tall, but slutty (at least in the conservative Philippine landscape).

So for me I opted to wear my white shorts with a crisp white long sleeve buttondown to make up for the bare legs. And chose the classic black pumps (no lucite heels please) and a serious-looking bag (that's not an Hermes but how i wish it is!) . I kept the accessories minimal too except for the statement necklace to add a little contrast to the white shirt.

And oh, it does not hurt if you get photographed from the ground up.   That angle does wonders for me. :)

{ ANIMAL KIMONO }

After a 3-week hiatus, I am back. Kind of semi-back only but whatever I miss blogging so much I am trying to find time for it. And what better way to show a comeback than to sport a new 'do! :) 

 I got tired of my frizzy beach hair so I decided to try the straight hair look and went to the salon for a rebond session. I would have loved to get a perm again but the last time left me so distraught at the results (the perm lasted only a day!) so I overruled the idea. Anyways there's always the curling rod should I miss the wavy locks. :) 

 I HAVE MISSED YOU, GUYS!!! :)
