What and Where
My greatest fear justified, ack! While J (alright me too, just in case he reads this!) thinks the photos turned out very well today, it vindicated my narcissistic anxiety of high definition anything. I mean what's wrong with blurry, out of focus photos once in awhile? That's the beauty of Polaroids and black and white TV, they were incredibly forgiving.
Case in point: the very first photo is a direct by-product of this new acquisition of his Nikon SLR. As you may know, we usually take these photos either during a quick coffee break (forgoing nicotine high in exchange for blog glory, what can I say, I'm a martyr!) or just before I teach a class at noon, which gives us about 9-11 minutes at best. When he texts me that he's down and ready to shoot, I usually just grab my gym bag and scramble down. But not this morning, I had to slap on some powder and swipe my lips with some lipstick! Ha! You see that mother?!
Some of you have notice that I've taken some office photos and that now today, the building lobby. Why you may ask? Well, while there is a Holt Renfrew across the street with a gorgeous holiday display window, when you have 11 minutes or less to shoot, prime location is not exactly in the a la carte menu.
On more exciting news! For the winner of the Yola Couture Callie Dress Give-away, Yolande Deschenes, the designer herself has picked the name of one lucky Twenty York Street follower!
Drum roll please...
And the winner is:

Your floral blouse looks so beautiful when you pair it with a black dress and a belt. Sleeves are too adorable. Brilliant idea, you look fantastic in it (and those accessories too).

Love the pairing of the dress with the blouse. So chic and pretty. The ruffles are too cute. You look great! I always love the Holt Renfrew display. When I used to park my car at the building attatched, I would always walk by the display to soak in thier trends. Sounds like you are beyond busy.

I know from experience that an SLR can be very unforgiving, but not in this case! You look gorgeous and I just love the crispness in the details shots that only an SLR can do!
I love the pics and the bling is great too! That blouse is very pretty. I am a sucker for a sheer shirt with a tie!!!! It's so girly and feminine.

Hey, there is nothing wrong with blurry! :D
I really like your face on the first pic. By-product?? Oh please! Your lips look so well shaped on it, I never noticed, probably because you´re always smiling :)
Oooh, and I love the rings. Someone´s having a gorgeous taste :)

Oh my gosh! I can't believe I won! Thanks for the giveaway! This is so exciting!!! Your accessories are always perfect and I love that blouse!!
seriously, u have the nicest accessories ever!
Loving your belt. Simple but it really pulls your look together.
Don't miss my first ever giveaway
I absolutely LOVE your blouse! It's so fun! Puffed sleeves don't always work on me, so I'm always envious of those who can pull them off.
I can seriously spend a good hour taking pictures of just one outfit, if given the chance. My busy schedule has kind of put a cramp in that, though. Still, it's gotta be about 20 minutes/outfit for me. I can't imagine doing it in about ten! You guys pull it off amazingly well!
Those are beautiful pictures, I cant believe i missed couple of you're outfit posts!!!
You look so gorgeous here!!!

And congrats Viktoria!!
xoxo, Ashley
Gosh, this sparkly scarf with the adorable bowtie is just making my night. I really really love it. It looks ready made for a festive holiday party! I think your photos look great!
You are always so elegantly put together, ate ML :)
Can you hook me up with one of those rings? Love the entire outfit but cannot take my eyes off the bling bling!
Love the blouse underneath the LBD. Were you inspired by Matt, lol? I remember reading your comment on his post.
Call Me Ishmael
As much as I love your stylish outfit, I love your smiles even more. You radiate joy!
What a pretty blouse. I should check out that store more often :) Thanks for the comment too!
The photos came out fantastic! And I love the bling too ;)

So crisp! I love that you shoot these during lunch and that you have a willing (or not...haha) friend who will help a sister out.
Love your finds from Banana Republic and your bling ring too :)
You comment was too sweet! Thank you :) Congrats to the lucky winner of your contest! I had no idea you snapped your photos so quickly! I feel like it always takes me so long to do mine (which is why I love posting about food instead, haha!). Props to you! I hope to be able to get mine done that quickly eventually.
Stop by again soon!
