Distraction







Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe....
Catch a Vespa on the Road

Look Cool & Quickly Snap That Photo!
Top: Forever 21 Avail in 3 Colours (Get it Here)
Jeans: Forever 21  (Get it Here)
Sandals: Old Navy  (On Sale $20 Here)
Ring: Forever 21
Sunnies: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Get it Here)
Earrings & Necklace: c/o In Pink  (Get it Here)

When photographing on a hot and humid day...one can hope for 3 simple things.  A breeze, shade, and interesting photography props.  In other words, anything that can distract the photographer and the subject's attention from their current state of misery existence is an absolute delight!  Therefore, I spy a fire hydrant with an extended tank, Dunkin Donuts offering .99 iced coffee drinks (any size), a trio of bright coloured Vespas, and no sight of the Vespa Owners...   Hurry! Snap Snap!  OK....Let's RUN Inside!

  19. I love this color combo Bessie! I've always been a huge fan of yellow, this year, i'm loving seafoam greens, turquoise and all hues alike. Brilliant outfit! BTW i read some of the Glossybox chat on twitter and it was great! I would have loved to participate but i had to get ready for a concert and was short on time. Either way, sounds like it was a success! xoxo
