Winter style really does me in. I don’t understand how you can look stylish and versatile every day. If you only have one incredibly warm coat, then don’t you always look the same? Needless to say, I have a lot of respect for stylish women of Central/Eastern Canada (if you have any tips, please let me know!). In other news, I finally got a down coat. An actual, warm coat. And thank the lord, because I ended up being caught in a -40° weekend (GAH).

In other, other news, I also invested in a new camera! I have been researching and saving up for months and finally took the plunge on a Canon 6D with a Sigma 50mm 1.4 lens (the lens itself outweighs the camera). This was one of the first shoots I did with it (and the first shoot the boy did!) and I’m so happy with my purchases. I’m by no means a professional photographer (and I normally don’t shoot with one) but I am learning about photography more and more and I love how easy this camera is to navigate.

    Growing up in Manitoba where the winters are crazy cold, it can be difficult to look stylish all the time. But I used to do lots of layers so that I could still wear a nice coat. Like tights under jeans and socks too, tank tops, t-shirts, sweaters, you name it. Layer it!!

    Sigma lenses are my favorite! I used to be all about the Nikon lenses but I find I actually like my sigma art lens (the 35mm) better!

      They’re my favourite too! Do you like your 35mm? I’ve never tried that one!

    Who normally takes your photos if you don’t hire a professional? Do you fee like with a nice camera, friends or anyone can take good pics? Your pics are always amazing!

      Thanks Serene! My boyfriend and I have learned a lot about photography over the past few years and have created an aesthetic for the blog. A good camera can do lots, but only if you know how to use it. I shoot all my photos in manual mode, which can take some time to learn how to do! Start with a more basic camera, take a class or teach yourself how to use it and then spend a little more money 🙂

      Hope that’s helpful!
