If You’re Going To Take A Selfie…

The other day I wrote a post about how selfies on Facebook/Instagram were overrated. That’s just putting it nicely. I didn’t say they were overrated, I actually questioned why selfies were being taken at all in the first place. Coincidentally, People Magazine just wrote a post about the ten ways you can take a selfie beautifully and I have to say that after reading this article, I might be changing my tune.

Example A. Miranda Kerr. Selfies are done best when they don’t really look like a selfie because of the outstretched arms. That’s not a comment by People Magazine – just a comment by me.

For the full list of ways, click here.

A Collection Part 35

It used to take me over six months to go back to a blog that I haven’t visited in a while. With my new routine and schedule and the absence of homework, I am able to get through my blogs a lot quicker which frees up more time for me to be creative and to spend more time on posts that mean a lot to me instead of just posting and being done with it. Most of the photographs in this A Collection post came from one blog and go figure it’s called Thriving Twenties so of course we can relate hence why we love it.

Southern California

While perusing one of my favorite blogs, Holiday Matinee, I came across this photo series by a friend of the blogger’s – Angella d’Avignon. The shots were all taken from Southern California and makes me miss this area so much  especially since I used to visit frequently when I was younger. Here are just a few shots, but check out the photographer’s 50 favorites here.

The Space Coast

photo cred | David Ryle

I stumbled upon this photo series the other day by David Ryle showcasing the build up to the launch of the Atlantis space shuttle. These were taken on the East coast of Florida. Ryle was hoping that with this series he could capture the notion of space and the way humans relate with their surroundings.

How gorgeous is this salt mine brine pool in Bolivia? I just want to stare at it forever and dream about vacations that I still need to plan for myself this year.

Food Playing

photo cred | Hong Yi via Colossal

Almost every day for the past month, artist Hong Yi has been playing with her food; an act that was frowned upon growing up. Using her food, she was able to create quirky images and photograph them for documentation. The rules of her playing were as follows: the image could only be made out of food on a white plated backdrop. To view the entire series of her food photographs, click here.

Troian Bellisario For Rachel Antonoff

photo cred | Lindsey Byrnes via Fashionista

Even though Troian’s character Spencer on Pretty Little Liars has been a little cray cray as of late, I’ve always thought that outside of the television screen, she could be somewhat of a style icon! She proved me right in these new shots for Rachel Antonoff. It’s Spencer like you’ve never seen her before. These were shot by photographer Lindsey Byrnes at the Beverly Hill Hotel for Antonoff’s Spring 2013 campaign. Here are some of my favorites:

Toy Stories

all photos by | Gabriele Galimberti

I was quite the collector and toy enthusiast when I was a small child. As kids, you don’t really have any perception as to how much these toys cost and I have to say that if I were my parents, I would be a little upset at me right now knowing that I was going through several phases of toys that would just be played out over a month. I’m looking at you Poo-chi – the substitute I had because I couldn’t have a real dog, or the Razor scooter. That toy is simply just a mode of transportation and let me just say that even then I wasn’t active enough for that. Italian photographer Gabriele Galimberti spent 18 months traveling and capturing photographs of children with their toys from all over the world. The series is incredible and reminds me of my own childhood (and yes photographs!) with my Beanie Babies and Polly Pockets.

Happy Wedding Wednesday!

photo via

Readers, no one adores weddings as much as I do. I’m a hopeless romantic who simply loves love and that’s something about me that just won’t ever change. My dear co-worker is getting married next weekend and I may have the opportunity to assist another co-worker in her freelance wedding planning business this coming season so of course, I’ve had weddings on my mind lately. Huffington Post compiled a batch of photographs today for a post entitled “Amazing Wedding Photos That Will Make You Believe In Love” and they are heart-warming. And as if these weren’t enough photos for you already, right below the post is a slideshow of First Looks.

SWOON.

What Your Instagram Filter Says About You

Until I got my iPhone back in September, I was completely cut off from Instagram. Unfortunately, they just don’t make it compatible for Blackberrys. However, I will say that Instagram was the first app I downloaded and it was a pretty great decision from the start. I was the type of girl that carried my little Sony digital camera with me everywhere, but sometimes when your phone does the exact same thing, it’s easier to be carrying one less item in my small purse. I love the filters – Valencia, Nashville, Earlybird – the whole gang. So when I came across this Instagram infographic today, I figured I had to share it with all of you!

I’m not sure at this point if it’s Frank Ocean that I can’t get enough of…or Band of Outsiders…or just Polaroids. Who says I have to choose though, right?
