An Attempt at Fashion Blogging, Feat. Charlie

I'll be the first person to admit I'm not a fashion blogger.  Sure, I have tons o' fun with Polyvore every week and my style & fashion Pinterest board is updated regularly enough, but I could never be a fashion blogger.  I look in awe on girls who take hundreds of photos of themselves using a proper camera, a tripod, and some kind of remote while bathed in lush light in a field and then edit them down to a select dozen using Lightroom or Photoshop to enhance - well, whatever it is they need to enhance in these situations.  It's an alien thing to me and, while I appreciate all the hard work that goes into being a fashion blogger, I'm very comfortable leaving it to the experts.

First of all, I'm a proud iPhonographer; I don't have any of the hardware or software required and I'm not bothered enough to buy it and learn how to use it.  Second, I never know how to pose or where to look if I'm not being directed.  And third, what would I do with Charlie once I'd found a blog-worthy backdrop?

That's why, when Charlie and I came to my parents' house to spend the snowy afternoon in suburbia and I asked Dad to take some "fashion blogger" photos of me, the results were as follows...

coat - Laundry by Shelli Segal, no longer available online / gloves - street stall / scarf - street stall / tights /

shoes - Sperry Topsider duck boots, no longer available online / sunglasses - Marc by Marc Jacobs, similar
