I started my blog in November of 2008 but the posts remained private and hidden for years. I never imagined sharing my words with strangers, it was just something that happened. I also never imagined that my blog would begin and evolve into a "fashion blog" but that happened too. If people ask what compelled me to start posting self-portraits and styled outfit shots, I would say it might have something to do with my inability to draw or paint. Fashion to me is my version of a paint brush. I wear these outfits not because I have an intense and irrational love for my self image, but because I have an intense and irrational love for the art of color and story-telling. These outfits tell a story in ways my words do not. I keep posting here because it makes me happy and in a world where instant gratification drives many, it sure feels nice to take my time when I write here.

What you'll see before you in these posts is a snippet into my curious mind. You'll notice my love for nature and my endless thirst for finding beauty in the everyday. I get sad often. I get happy often. I ricochet between confused, curious, satisfied, and mad daily. I am in no way ordinary, I cannot pretend to be, but what I am is a human being who believes there are people out there who feel the same way as I do.

Our lives are made better when we express ourselves through art. My blog is a teeny crab shell in the sea of blogs, but I keep coming here, and I'll continue to do so until I move along to the next adventure.

Just found your blog.. and I fall in love with your amazing photographs and lovely outfits! ;) May I know what lens do you use to take photos?
ReplyDeleteHello! I use a Nikon D90 35mm. :)
DeleteHi Amy, Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate it.
DeleteOhh, I use a Nikon D90 too, with 85mm lens, but sometimes I felt that I didn't get the sharpness like I want it to.. Your photos are gorgeous! I definitely should learn and practice more on that. The 35mm seems interesting, and I think I need it, especially for shooting indoor in a small space :)
Love, Rania.
Oh! Let's be friends, please?! haha <3
