Fashion bloggers- we won’t let a little rain stop us from taking pictures (we’re crazy, I know)! I met up with Chris, Alex and Francy before a beauty event a few weeks ago. We had some time to kill, so we spent it at Sephora, trying on various makeup products. That’s when I bought the NARS lip pencil that I love so much and am wearing in this post!
Do you guys have a good weekend? For those who celebrate, did you have any fun Easter plans? I didn’t do anything too special this weekend, but I did get a chance to briefly see a friend who was visiting from out of town and I finished the Grace memoir!
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

Can’t let a little rain stop you! hehe hopefully it’s only beautiful spring weather from here on out
Fingers crossed!
you gals look so great, and the rainy streets make for such a great background!
Thank you Laura :)
I’m so impressed with your homemade scarf!! I want to learn how to knit, but just get too frustrated too easily! ha
Thanks Ashley! I really enjoy knitting- it can be really therapeutic, but also frustrating when I can’t get a stitch right! haha
I think nothing will stop bloggers from taking photos!! Don’t judge but this post makes me want to say you need an umbrella…ella..ella..eh. eh. eh… ok I’m done :)
No judgement here- I still love that song! :)
How cute you look! Red is definitely one of your colors. I wish we could just skip Summer. I told my mom the other day that I already can’t wait for Fall! lol
Thank you Jenmarie! Haha, I myself just want it to be warm and sunny- is that too much to ask? :)
love that bold scarf! X dipped in yellow
Thanks Kendall!
What kind of camera do you use? Your pictures always look so clear and high quality.
Canon 5D (super old original model, not Mark II or Mark III) and 50mm ƒ1.4 lens.
Also, obviously the camera is a huge factor, but there’s a large human component as well. The best camera in the world won’t help you if you don’t develop your eye for framing shots!
