A Bit of Silliness

May 4, 2012

If you’ve ever seen a style blogger taking photos out in public, there’s a good chance you probably felt kind of awkward for them. After all, standing around, trying to look pretty while photo upon photo is taken of you is a slightly strange & seemingly narcissistic situation. I’m so blessed that D is not only an amazing boyfriend (and photographer!) but also my best friend who always makes me laugh and encourages me to be goofy while in front of the camera. So here are some silly photos that hopefully serve as a reminder to fashion bloggers everyone to not take ourselves so seriously. Happy Friday!




On a more serious note, the winner of my Gratitude-Filled Giveaway is @about_celine! Congrats – please email me and we will arrange to have it shipped out to you ASAP πŸ™‚

    Haha love the silly photos, my favourite is the second last one. I definitely feel awkward posing for my photos and my bf just reminds me to be natural and candid πŸ™‚

    Ahh, you’re the cutest! Awkward outfit pictures are my ultimate, so this made my day. I feel relentlessly ridiculous when I’m trying to get outfit photos for my blog, and this is without ever being brave enough to actually take them in public! I don’t know if I’ll ever get there.

    HA love it. You make me proud. I’m pretty sure me trying to take normal un-awkward photos is next to impossible. I take maybe a hundred every single time just to get 1-2 “normal” shots.

    Hope you have a fabulous upcoming weekend Jen! xo

    You’re very lucky that your boyfriend is so happy to help out. My boyfriend whines whenever I ask him to take photos. Very cute shots by the way.

    totally understandable!! I’ve never taken (more of “asked people to take a photo of me”) outdoor because… like you said, it seems narcissistic to me, and it’s not good for my self-esteem.. hahaha! But I love the one you’re jumping with white vest on.. totally cute! If I ever going to ask someone to take a photo of my outfit, it would be my husband, but he has… erm… not gifted with photo taking skills. lol
