Wanderlust

It’s the race against sunset once again. I’m no professional photographer so the best I can do in this low light setting is to set my ISO and shutter speed to the best of my ability. I really hate taking photos whenever the sun is almost all the way down because my photos always turn out so grainy. This time though, I got lucky. I was able to find a spot that suited the low light setting. And the graininess actually contributed to the effect.

Oh diba? Another pang-emote location! It doesn’t look like I’m in the city at all! I felt like a hippie wondering some forest–a hippie in an embellished dress that is!

Whenever I’m in an embellished dress, you usually see me all made up and ready to party. But since this is a shift dress, I wanted to take a different approach in styling it. Shift dresses are just so comfortable, it would be a pity to take away its day wear appeal. Yes, I’m aware this particular shift dress is embellished with sequins and beads but who said you can’t wear sequined numbers during the day? It’s all in the way you style them. Just be wary of the color palette and try to tone down the beadwork by throwing on a few other things like how I did with my fringed hem cardigan.

    Hi Camille! May I ask if the fringe kimono is a recent purchase in topshop? If yes, what branch? I love it! :)

    Seriously, this look and these photos can be in a catalogue :) The effect of the light helped a lot PLUS the way you pose in front of the camera. Makes me think you did a shoot or something for a magazine. Another perfect look! I dunno if I’m being biased but I really like it every time you wear sequined dresses or top/s. Hihii. Your cardigan’s a steaaaaal! :D

    You look amazing! I love the colours in this look and you’re absolutely right — the grainy quality does add to the photos.
    I’ve been in a rush with the sun for the last couple of weeks and it’s only going to get worse! I have no idea how bloggers get such amazing photos in the winter…

    In fairness, sobrang umeeffort na din kayo sa mga bground ng outfit shots. Before there were only white walls now, may mga forestry-kind/secret garden factor pa. Hehe. Lovin’ the title, reminded me of Bjork. :)

    Miss Cams, why so puh-retty? Anyway, I need your advice. I bought some crop tops from F21. I wanted sana na either kita yung belly button or below my jeans na yung length and medyo loose but then I ended up getting the wrong sizes. The crop tops fit me kaso parang 0.75 inch above the jeans kapag naka-low cut ako then medyo fit na loose (aaaah, if you know what I mean). What should I wear with those? Thanks!

    You should attend a crash course in photography so that you can use your camera to its fullest potential. LOVE THIS LOOK though! Pwede ng pang-movie poster yung 4th photo! at may working title na ako: “Ang babaeng lagalag” in English, “The Wandering Girl” chos! haha!

    Ang ganda ng effect ng sunset sa cardigan @__@ it looks like they came from the same color palette! :) One thing I find difficult to find here in the city is decent open area locations where the dramatic lighting of the sunrise and sunset won’t get botched up. Sayang yung dramatic lighting effect, especially when tall buildings block the awesome sunglight! D: #photographyproblems Haha! Love the sunset effect though :)
