Comments:

After 2+ years of working on my blog and buying a semi-profesional camera, I thought the logical next step would be to take a Photography course. So I signed up and have been taking classes for 3 weeks now. I never thought I would enjoy learning about Photography, but I'm actually having lots of fun!

Even though I have been taking courses for three weeks now, I have been feeling dissapointed that my photos look pretty much the same (well, my outfit photos are taken with my regular digital camera lately, so those don't count). I started doubting if the classes I am taking are really any good, because I don't seem to apply what I learn when I'm taking pictures.

And you know what I realized? I just need to practice! It sounds so simple really, but it was a huge realization for me. Even though I pay lots of attention in class and take good notes, I will never take better pictures if I don't put time aside to practice what I've learned. I need to make an effort if I want to see results. So, from now on I'm going to make sure I practice, practice, practice!

I felt like a queen in this beautiful red maxi dress eShakti.com kindly sent me to review. I mean, just look at it!! I am completely in love with how soft and silky this dress is. It moved so beautifully in the wind and felt wonderfully soft against my skin.

This dress is pretty fancy, so I decided to dress it down by adding a denim jacket, a big bag, and a wide belt. I also wore my hair down and simple (no fuss) and lots and lots of bracelets. My sister said I looked very boho chic!

This is the second dress I've received from eShakti.com (See first dress here or here) and I am in love with both dresses. eShakti.com's new spring line is filled with beautiful pieces (especially cute dresses!) in case any of you want to check it out! I loved their new pieces so much, I went ahead and purchased this classic burgundy dress. I can't wait to receive it!

Thanks eShakti for this lovely dress! And thank YOU readers for being so wonderful ;)
