Tan lines aside, I really thought Camille put together a cute outfit. It was swelteringly hot outside and I thought she did a great job balancing the way she revealed her skin. Wearing high waisted pants with essentially a “boob tube” is brilliant because obviously a boob tube and shorts would be too much. Fashion is all about navigating that fine line, right?
At the same time, is there anything more indicative of being in the throes of summer than a nice bathing suit tan?
Luis not only runs his own blog, ChiCityTrends, but he also interns at Refinery29 and CS Magazine while holding down a part-time job at Akira. He starts college this fall at UIC. Suffice it to say young Luis has accomplished more as a high schooler in one year than many adult fashion bloggers have in several. He’s a plain old-fashioned hard worker who lives and breathes fashion like I do. Maybe that’s why we became friends so quickly!

The day I took Delilah’s photo I was playing with my brand new EOS→m4/3 adapter. I put my Canon 50mm lens on my Olympus PEN, but much to my disappointment I was forced to use the lens on manual focus. That is a virtually impossible task so all of the photos from that day, including Tasha and Jessica’s, came out blurry. I still love Delilah’s personality-laden look (the hair! the pants! the banker’s shoes!) enough to post it, but I figured I should explain the poor focus. So that was $25 wasted…
Remember – I only picked up a camera one year ago and only upgraded to my PEN in December. I am very much a photographer in the midst of the learning curve. I like to share my experiences with all of you to maintain an open honest relationship with my readers.
