Dress: Erin Fetherston for Target. Corduroy short sleeve jacket: H&M. Green patterned tights: H&M. Navy brogues: Franco Sarto.

Lately I've been messing around with the Speedlite 430EX since the days have been getting shorter with winter approaching and the availibility of natural light is becoming scarce. Flash has always intimidated me so I've avoided using it for as long as I could. Hopefully by the time winter is over, I'll have mastered the thing.

Oh and the button on the jacket? It's actually an Oreo cookie* ;)

* I am kidding.

every time when I use flash, my pictures turn out to be even worser than they are already but yours are so lovely. I really need to improve my photography skills which starts to have a DSLR.

I love the idea of the OREO cookie, this is so cool! The perfect match for your outfit.

It's not really an Oreo :D My uncle said to me (when I was wearing the jacket) that if I got hungry I could eat the Oreo cookie on my jacket. hee.

I wonder if whoever designed the button happened to be munching on an Oreo at the time :D

Hi Yulanda, I got your comment. . .
Barney's isn't an affordable option for me either. K's friend, who made that comment about Barney's being appropriate for our age group, has some seriously expensive taste :)

by the way, I love looking at all your outfits, especially your sweaters & skirts from H&M. I'm running to H&M the next time I'm in the big city :)

I really need to get a decent flash too, I hate these short days! The jacket looks so cosy (even if it is short sleeved!)

Or they're seriously rolling it in :)
You definitely should! Try to find one that carries the Trend line which is where most of my pieces come from.

yulanda replied to Helen | 2008-11-10 02:41 PM | Reply

It is! Though very impractical for where I am because I can count on one hand the amount of days I can actually wear it as a jacket (without another coat overtop).

Hahha maybe we should swap homes :p
You’re very welcome here!

I hope my boyfriend don't reads this, otherwise he moves right away to Canada haha he really wants to go there when he can find a job overthere.

Maybe I'm going with him, but I don't want to think about it yet ;)
