Picture Perfect

Urban Outfitters Beanie, H&M Top, Vintage Bracelet, Express Belt, Trina Turk Skirt, Hue Tights, Vintage Boots, Foley + Corinna Bag

Even though there are still two weeks left until Christmas, this morning my boyfriend surprised me with a Nikon D40, a digital SLR camera that I’ve been dreaming of ever since my friend Rachel bought one a few months back.  Though we still have a lot to learn about all of its capabilities, I can already see a clear distinction in the quality of the photographs and it will come in extra useful for our trip here in March.

Doesn’t having a digital SLR make all the difference in the WORLD?!? SO much more control. Of course, your photos have always been stellar, lady … but now you can have even more fun taking them.

19 Laura { 12.11.08 at 10:24 am }

Hey, I read ALOT of blogs daily, and yours is by far my favorite. You are always so timeless and ladylike! Definitely an inspiration. Also, I think you should do a makeup post, you always look so fresh!

21 Jackie { 12.11.08 at 10:36 am }

That’s a lovely skirt. It looks really delicate. I’m sure if I wore something like that I’d catch it on everything.

Yay for getting a Nikon D40! I used that kind of camera, and I adore it =D

22 la petite fashionista { 12.11.08 at 10:36 am }

What a great gift! The photo quality is amazing– so professional looking, and the outfit is fun too. I’m obsessing over tights at the moment.

46 Micaela { 12.11.08 at 6:28 pm }

I wonder if you ever get tired of all of these adoring comments… so I’m going to restrain myself and just say HI!

47 Hayley { 12.11.08 at 6:36 pm }

Did you get that belt recently? I’ve decided I absolutely must have it or at least one similar.

63 The Lil Bee { 12.12.08 at 7:50 pm }

You little munchkin! You look adorable. I think that is the camera Paul is getting me, too! I took a consensus from some of the photo bloggers and that seemed to be the winning camera. So it’s my belated bday present. I can’t wait!! The quality of the photos looks awesome.

Just wanted to say thanks for sharing details about the camera you are using. I just placed an order on Amazon for the same Nikon D40 SLR (with an extra 50-200 mm Telefoto lens).

Your blog is really starting to influence my life, where i eat, what i buy – great stuff.
