While watching America’s Next Top Model (is anyone else seriously annoyed by these short girls?!), Kim Kardashian mentioned the term “Geek Chic.” What an adorable term (albeit popularized by marketing geniuses who want to make pocket protectors cool) that describes an entire fashion subculture. To that end, it inspired this post. These items are totally geeky yet uber chic-y (sorry, couldn’t resist making that rhyme). Enjoy!...
I also contribute to tallclothingmall.com and tallsnob.com (yes I'm a woman of many talents). I thought I'd share my latest article on taste{full} as well... Diary of a Tall Fashionista Tall Jackets The end of summer is bittersweet; bitter because I’ll miss the sun and the beach and the pool and barbecues and watermelon. It’s also sweet because it’s the beginning of fall...
Over the summer I helped plan a shower for Meg and have been meaning to blog about it ever since. Grace is Meg's second baby, but first girl so we wanted to throw an intimate feminine shower for her so she could get those adorable girly items she'd need for baby number two! When trying to decide on a theme, we decided to...
The other day I got the chance to do a maternity photography session with Tiffany. I’ve never done any maternity shots before, so the task was both exciting AND daunting. Though her super sweet praise of my photographic ability makes me blush, it's obviously the fact that she's one of the cutest pregnant women I’ve ever seen, in addition to her REAL modeling experience, that made the whole thing pretty much a breeze. I think we succeeded in capturing not only how adorable she is, but the excitement of this time in her life as she waits for Baby Delangie to make her appearance.
Pregnancy is such a special time (well, once you get past the vomiting & etc.), especially for your first child, and never more so than in those last few weeks before you deliver. You are just weeks away from meeting someone you’ll spend the rest of your life loving more than you can imagine!! I never did maternity photos, but I wish I had, especially with my first. (I was much cuter the first time around!) If you’re pregnant, or hope to be in the future, DO IT! I shot Tiffany's with my Nikon D80, but even if you just grab a friend and a basic point and shoot digital camera, take a second to snap a few shots. Not sure how to pose or what to do? Google maternity photography and you’ll have dozens of cute shots to replicate. Do it in a place you can feel comfortable, preferably with great natural light and especially with someone you can relax with. (Fore some great tips for the photographer, check out this article by the amazing Natalie Norton.) Don't worry about baring your belly if you're not comfortable with it... a fitted top looks just as cute! We don't all have adorable little buddha bellies, but that belly you're carrying around is perfect and beautifully shaped uniquely like your little one. While we don't always feel our most beautiful pregnant, just find some flattering angles (YES you do still have some!) and shoot away. It might take a bunch of tries to get it just right, but I promise you it will be worth it in the end!
And now, more of the results...
The prospect of maternity photos can be daunting for a variety of reasons. First of all, though we want to capture the memory of being pregnant, especially for the first time, the idea of what we look like may be better than what we actually look like in a maternity photo (I’m just sayin…). I asked myself, really how committed am I to...
While researching maternity photos (more on that later), I discovered a fabulous website that carries women's, girls, preteens, plus, and maternity clothes. Talk about one size fits all; this site truly caters to every woman. I am totally into pretty much anything aesthetically pleasing, so the layout of this site and its adorable name, Shabby Apple, caught my attention immediately. But besides the...
