Backlight |ˈbakˌlīt| n. illumination from behind.

Junk Clothing Mesh Shoulder Top - Bardot Tutu Skirt - Generic Sheer Tights - Dr Martens 1460 8 Eye Boots in NAVY WORN - SpinDizzyFall Vintage Sunglasses

Some black and white fun to start the week - in terms of photography, I've been working on backlighting and clarity. Or as much as I can with a friend's camera anyway. Unfortunately (or thankfully... depends on how you're feeling today), only the first and last of this lot were successful. But I'm getting there :)

So much love for this mid-cropped top from Junk - the perfect gunmetal colour and the smoothy-smooth texture makes it the ideal pullover for anything in pretty much any season, not to mention the mesh shoulders. I'm thinking it would go fantastically with something high-waisted because of the crop - thoughts?

Particularly happy with that last shot :) I've now realised that glasses are so very PRADA-esque in terms of material and the shape is Chloé to say the least. I will definitely be pulling out the red lipstick and pigtails next time I wear these :p

A shout-out to the lovely Courtney and Brigitte for passing on a sweet blog award, which entails me listing three things I love about myself, with a picture I love:
  1. My love of blogging
  2. My wrists (weird)
  3. My self control (weirder - except when it involves icecream)
And my favourite picture is HERE. I'll be passing this on to Delightful Bitefuls, .themoonchild., salad of my life, The Space Boy, and tweet.

Hope you've all had a great start to the week?

P.S. I have some fun giveaways on the way :D and don't forget to enter the current one!

*love*

If you look good, you feel good. It’s so simple but true. From sports teams to supermodels, it’s commonly accepted that looking great boosts your confidence and makes you feel better.

At myprivatestylist.com, the experts with the insight on smart fashion can help you feel better by looking better. Their extensive style guides can dress the most unique body type, and provide flattering ways for anyone to look great.

I just gave them information about my body, and let them take it from there. I received tips that made me look slimmer, sexier, and more fashionable. I am no technology guru, but this program was easy to use, and well worth my time.

Give myprivatestylist.com a try and go from looking and feeling good to looking and feeling great!
