What and Where
Guess who's back and shooting? J is! After more than 4 weeks of hiatus, which included his much needed and long-awaited trip to Colombia, he is finally back and eager to shoot! So, come snow or high waters, shoot we did!
Barring frost bite and numbing fingers, we did it fast and furious where we ran outside, point and shoot and ran back as quickly to warm and do it over and over again! As I've mentioned in last week's post, winter makes this whole blogging business a greater challenge (well, I'm sure to my friends in California and sunnier parts of the world - this is such a foreign concept. Oh you know exactly who you are, you lucky tanned and sunned person you!) and I had this brilliant idea of just posting other people's outfits and claiming them as my own. I realized it is going to be a tedious task copping their heads off in Photoshop so considering I don't even know how to run that software, I decided I might as well suffer through this pain of posing while shivering in this cruel Canadian winter - all for the name my craft.
Pretentious, much?
The truth is, I just want to be able to give you something remotely good when you come by visit. Otherwise, I may have to start bribing you with home-made chocolate chip cookies and I'm not about to start learning how to bake anytime soon!

Hahahha I do the same thing, I run and take some pictures and go back inside, agreeing to the fact that winter is just bad timing for fashion blog because of the short day and freezing temp :-(
but nonetheless you look fabulous as always and so much in love with the skirt

holy crap do you look good!! I am mean really & truly STUNNING.
Do you know what I got for not thinking it's cold and wearing bear legs...la grippe, and it's really a nasty one too, so sick! Ugh!!
I love the skirt, and your accessories rock. The gloves are edgy, and look great with the bracelet.

Elegant is definitely a word I would pick to describe this look! I love the stud details on the gloves, very bad ass...

These pictures really do convey the elegant winter look. And I love the print on your skirt. BTW, I can completely sympathize with the previous post. My BF took some photography classes in a previous life and has recently started to help me with my outfit pics. But his definition of a "good picture" is often radically different than mine. I'm most interested in pictures that show the entire outfit, show interesting angles, and are fairly flattering...and I can't be slouching! He loves interesting lighting and won't let me post a picture that isn't "framed" properly. Sigh...
Yes! J is back with a bang! Great shots J! Thats a Pro...excelling well in extreme
Conditions. ML you're looking every inch elegant here! I love everything in this post! Keep up the teamwork guys! Canada's winter is cruel...keep brave!
You look fabulous! I so love your accessories.
Love that skirt, the chunky necklace and those gloves!! AMAZING!! Will definitely check out the interview.
Happy Monday.

Love the snow and scarf....you are just the cutest thing ever with those snowflakes falling all around you...miss you!!
Stop by and say Hello:)

I can't believe it's even colder and the snow is deeper in Ottawa than here in Detroit! Today when I walked out the door it was 12F (-11.11C), and there's about a good 7" of snow sitting on the group. Good thing the sidewalks are plowed. But still, I think you have it worse! How you manage to look so fucking chic is beyond me. I have that Brooklyn Parka now, and I wear it to death. No fancy schmancy coats for me with cute ruffle scarfs (OMG, I want one) or skirts and stockings...
At least not in the cold for posing. That's why I have a tripod and a strong flash in my house. :)

Mae Lu, @ thereafterish.
Gorgeous - thanks for your commitment! :-)

Thanks for braving the cold. You look chilly but chic and I can't get enough of that scarf.
Gorgeous, as always! I'm loving all your little accessories! the scarf! the gloves! the bracelet! everything's so perfect! but as if you froze your but off outside! it's been BRUTAL these last few days! crazy girl! just don't catch pneumonia, k?
And send my love to J too! I hope he had a fabulous trip!
p.s. I'm taking the CMA course, thanks for asking :)
This entire outfit is Stunning ! Your makeup is also Fabulous !
i hoped u stayed warm after taking these photos :)
thanks for being a GOTB :)
I love your photography and creativity. You make an adorable snow bunny in your outfit.
Great mix of accessories and love how you used multiple skirts!
p.s. Yes I would keep those SF(2) earrings for a long time - the glass pendant shapes are too classic!
I look at all the outfit pictures of you all in the snow and get all jealous because everyone (like you!) seems to get to wear their awesome boots and amazing gloves all the time! Then I realize that it gets SO COLD and decide that if I had to give up wearing shorts in January, I would be a very sad girl indeed. We need a happy medium; one weekend of sunshine and warmth for you and one weekend of snow for us!
i've been craving some leather gloves lately. idk what it is, it's hot.

Sigh, I remember those cold snowy winters in Ottawa very well. Kudos to you for taking your shots outside! Loving the monochrome tones :)
Que guapa que eres! You look amazing, and l love love love your scarf. : )
Ah the plight of us Canadian girls....in our cruel winter.....my photos are usally a combination of my bf's contribution and my trusty tripod and self timer....but a few days ago it was -18 degrees and after 10 minutes fiddling with the self timer and tripod...my fingers looked like they might start falling off one by one......bf's are so valuable.....:)
You ML on the other hand are looking gorgeous and cozy as a kitty.....seriously you look so amazing in you monochromatic outfit.....I think I should name you Monochroma queen. :)
Look forward to hearing from you
Love

I love these pictures! And that skirt is fabulous! Super cute outfit!! Haha, I love your plan to photoshop outfits too!! Heh, my photos are already cropped! ;) But I totally know what you mean about the cold, and I know I'm further south than you... I can't imagine I would be as brave in the winter weather in your region! I would just hide and not come out until Spring! :)
