Photos, Cookies and How-many-prints-can-you-get-in-one-outfit
Is this an outfit post? Is it a photography post? I don't know, you decide!! It's kinda a hybrid post I guess!!
As you know, my 50mm F1.8 lens arrived yesterday and it is actually amazing. When my boyfriend got his I was like "yeah, sure, I know it's great but it can't be that amazing." But it is, it seriously is.
It's taking some getting used to though. After using a 18-55mm lens for so long I can't get used to the fact that I can't adjust this lens, so I couldn't manoeuvre myself properly around my living room to get a full body shot today. I was going to out outfit but I figured it would probably take me so long to set up and play around that I'd be freezing. I know for future that I'm better off outside with this lens though.
Anyway, now I want to photograph literally everything. EVERYTHING. I love it!!
The last two days I have baked a LOT of cookies. These photos are a mix of today's batch (M&M) and yesterday's (chocolate chip). The reason for this is that I burnt a good third of the chocolate chip ones yesterday and the school store didn't sell chocolate chips, so I improvised!! They're all for my boyfriend's family tomorrow for when I go down to meet them for the first time- eek!! I've decided what I'm wearing, thankfully, but I've never featured the dress I'm going to wear on here yet so I'll try to get a snap in the morning (although I'm being picked up at 8!!)
This outfit inadvertently turned into "how many prints can you get in one outfit?". The skirt is printed with Haunted Houses, if you can't tell. I bought it a couple of years ago and really love it- the print is so unusual. I had the idea to try it with my polka dot shirt and liked it, and I figured the striped cardigan would just be really fun!

I'd love to say these were my hands, but no, I am a chronic nail-biter. These are Michelle's :]]
Ooh before I go I have a couple of things to mention. First of all, yesterday I got onto the Hot page on LookBook for the first time!! I am so completely over-the-moon about it. I had 70 Hypes!! I am thanking my boyfriend and his amazing photography for this :]]
Well I am off to do homework as I have SO much to do. Erick is picking me up at 8am tomorrow and I won't be back til late and I have a midterm on Monday- eek!! I also have to write two articles tonight that are due tomorrow. Next week is going to be even worse- my parents will be here this time next week and then I'm in New York for a week, so next week I have to do everything for the week of Spring Break too!!
Have a fabulous Saturday- think of me at home doing my homework!!
