Something New

I always overindulge in shopping in December and then I can hardly afford anything in January. I did manage to get a few things this year, though...
First up, photography books. Fashion photography by Lara Jade and Boudoir photography by Christa Meola. Both are amazing photographers in their respective fields. I already do fashion photography, but I'm always happy to learn more and hone my skills further. Even if I am learning from people way younger than me (Lara Jade).
Boudoir photography, on the other hand, is something I haven't tried yet but am keen to add to my repertoire. Making ordinary women feel fabulous; why not.
Next up, a dress by Vjera Vilicnik, whom I'll be doing a few collaborations with very soon. You can see the detail of the dress in the photo above. And I'll be posting an outfit with it soon. I wish I could buy her whole collection; she makes such amazing stuff.
The next favourite is not a purchase but a gift and it's a Kindle paperwhite. To be honest, I actually like the feel and smell of traditional books, but I am a prolific reader and Kindle just made sense. Especially for when I travel or commute.
So there you have it, my favourite new things.
Did you treat yourself in January? Bought stuff on sales? What are your favourite new things? Do tell.

  3. I prefer real books but I do read ebooks as well...I haven't done much shopping myself, but I found some fun stuff for family and friends.

  4. I received a Kindle Fire for Christmas and although not originally too fussed about it because I also like the feel of a real book, I did like the idea of being able to read blogs, play games and do other things on it and it's a perfect size for travelling (not that I get to do much). I think I'm coming round to it now as I've started to notice that I'm picking it up a bit more and using it now.

    Look forward to the outfit post - the colours on the dress shown look stunning.

    1. @Sue, oh the dress is fabulous. Purple and lilac with green rose belt. I can't wait to wear it. It's actually a summer dress, but I think I can combine it for winter too...

  14. The Kindle's a fabulous gift. I love photography books but mine tends to be more food and travel oriented. I've been buying basics during the sale. Nothing huge, just things that I needed.
