/Worth a Thousand Words/

In my previous post, I mentioned that I am currently obsessing over photography blogs and plugged a certain blog which I personally deem absolutely brilliant. Here is a little taste of her talent.





























I'm so glad Nirrimi started a blog... Although her love for words, beautiful expression of thought and her wild but very vivid imagination are all evident in her writing, all of these qualities are expressed so uniquely through the art of her pictures.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from backstage of numerous fashion shows right before showtime.

Lately I've stumbled upon the realization that I spend most of my free time online, satisfying a music + photography-blog binge that I've recently developed. There's truly no greater feeling than shutting out the rest of the world via kick ass noise-cancelling sub-woofer headphones while indulging in other activities (i.e. reading, writing, surfing the net). In my case, it's photography blogs. I love how these bloggers captivate their readers with their different styles of taking pictures + editing, yet still have the ability to leave some things for the imagination. Here's one blog that I am currently obsessed with. This girl is extraordinarily talented... and she's only 19!! She's a phenomenal writer as well.

Meanwhile, here are a few shots that Mr. Boyfriend and I took.




Wearing a top and maxi dress from Forever 21, Miss Trish sandals, H&M rings and silver/gunmetal bangles.






This is a picture I took a little past sundown from none other than Mr. Boyfriend's window... He's so lucky to have a view like this.

TGIF tomorrow!! Some much needed rest + lots-o ginger tea to finally get rid of my never ending sore throat are on my agenda this weekend.

I've been itching to wear this strong-shouldered top with something other than a skirt, and high-waisted trousers seemed like the perfect complement. I know that it's absolutely ridiculous to wear a scarf in a tropical country where the weather doesn't typically go any lower than 70 deg. F, but I just couldn't resist! Plus this scarf had been sitting in my closet for the longest time, just waiting to be used.



I had SOO much fun doing this shoot, especially during the latter part -- in front of the graffiti garage. 25 shots were taken in the span of 2 minutes due to the local city guard circling the area and staring at us intently while we trespassed into this area just to get this backdrop... so a little rogue-ness + swiftness were absolutely imperative. It didn't exactly help that there were around 10 random pedestrians passing by to watch either...
