I am very blessed to have a sweet boyfriend who has wanted to seriously learn and improve his photography since I started this blog (and has he ever). One way he does this is through regularly checking out photography blogs, and once in a while he comes across something that he wants to replicate. He called me today to tell me to “dress edgily” and that he had a great idea for a shoot. So off we went to this muddy construction area: I can’t exactly say that it was completely legal to enter into this location for the photos, but hey.. whatever you have to do right?? 😉
And since we’re on the topic of full disclosure here… no, it definitely wasn’t warm enough to comfortably wear this outfit today. Come on, sunshine– it’s April already!
Wearing: Zara silk blouse, Club Monaco skirt and necklace, Mackage jacket, Aldo wedges
Aww, what a sweet & cool boyfriend! He did a great job with these photos. I’m trying to teach my boy how to operate a camera & be handy, since he’s usually around when I take my photos. Hahah.
Anyways, you look stunning as always!

I really want that skirt.
I was in Club Monaco today, browsing the sale rack, and I totally splurged, even though I’m on a shopping ban. SO much for that.
But CM has so much amazing stuff, I can’t help it! 🙂
Lovely, as always.

gorgeous! i love how you look dolled up and very chic yet the background is a contrast in a construction zone. xx
amazing pictures! your bf is so sweet. you make a lovely model too! your outfit is so lovely. 😀
Love love love this outfit, but also love the fact that your boyfriend is such a sweetheart! That’s so nice that he actually throws himself into the photography, and his vision worked out perfectly…I love how your outfit is edgy but still femme, it contrasts so nicely with the construction site. Love the pop of red in the lipstick too.

Oh God, can you please send me such a wonderful and talented boyfriend?! :o)
As for the illegal photo sessions… The other day I was told by the security guy it’s not allowed to take pictures in the supermarket area! I even had to delete already taken pics from my camera!!!
Your outfit looks awesome!

You’re boyfriend is so sweet, not to mention supportive of your blog. He’s a budding photography director! I think it’s an interesting choice of location – very edgy. You look really stunning!
Great outfit, love the accessories and skirt! You look gorgeous in red lipstick and awesome pictures!

Awww lucky you. My boyfriend never offers to take my pictures, I always have to ask for it! He’s supportive of my blog, though, just in his own way (whatever way that is, hahahha!) 😀
I love how your “edgy look” still has elegance to it. The half tucked-in blouse is a nice detail, too! 🙂
Re: How I still my ponytail lately –> I curl the ends of my hair with a straightening iron first before I put my hair up in a ponytail. It doesn’t work if I do it the other way around 🙁

You and your boyfriend make such a great team! I love the unique but still so classy style of your outfit (all your outfits actually). If you ever get the chance, can you do a post on your makeup? I love the way you wear your red lipstick and blush!
Loving the club monaco skirt. 🙂
Great choice of colour and looks great on you.
lol, my boyfriend is exactly like yours 😛

Love that you and your BF are working on your blog together 🙂 You guys create gorgeous photos and spend time together!
His photographery is beautiful!
I just bought that same skirt! Found it in the sale section-it was such a good deal 🙂
how clever is your boyfriend! i think unexpected locations can provide for a beautiful backdrop, as it is with your case. i’m always envious of red lips because i can never pull off that look hehe…
i’m a new blogger, please stop by to say hi when you have a chance. thank you in advance 🙂

Oh, I love the photos and the location! Indeed, edgy and so interesting. The contrast between you and the place is so cool! 😀
Gorgeous shots!
I love how even your edgy outfits are seriously sophisticated. And you really are quite lucky to have a boyfriend who’s into photography! The boy and I had this conversation last night:
Boy: “I wonder what it’d be like if I were into photography.”
Me: (joking) “My blog would be a lot better because you could follow me around and take pictures all the time.”
I guess I’ll just have to settle for the fact that he’s an amazing dancer. 🙂
Hello Jen, thank you so much for your sweet comment on my blog, it means so much. I absolutely adore your gorgeous & feminine style -so pretty! And you are lucky that your man is so into photography, these pictures are just lovely. I adore the industrial setting against your outfit. xx veronika
PS -yay, for Vancouver fashion bloggers -nice to know I’m not alone. 😉
you readers are certainly missing out. There were more awesome pictures that i liked but she did not want to post anymore… sigh.
Really great photos! And the skirt is stunning.

Great photos! You’re lucky to have such an awesome photographer. =)
Love this look….that skirt is gorgeous!
On most recent post…TOTALLY agree…we have to get creative and rework pieces in our closet…or we will all go broke, lol.
Some days I feel like my blog inspires me to closet dive and other days I feel like it aids my shopping addiction. Oh vey.

That’s so cute about your boyfriend! My bf is always scoping out possible locations for outfit photos – I think it’s adorable that he feels a sense of pride in my blog, as well.
Now on to your outfit – love how you managed to look edgy (as suggested) and yet super feminine!
love the photos, you look gorgeous! the skirt is beautiful, it reminds me of a skirt that i have that is kind of similar
