That Night

Here are some photos from my sister's party. I found it really hard to shoot with my new lens at night--decent pictures won't come out of it! The only option was to use flash, and I absolutely hate what it does to the lighting on people. So I decided to just wait for the official photos. For the meantime, here are some photos of my outfit! If memory serves me right, the event started at around 8 in the evening and ended at about 11. We had to clean up afterwards so we got home at around 1 am. My parents stayed even later to finish cleaning up so they got home much, much later. I would have stayed overnight at the hotel if not for my 7 am class the next day. Anyway, it was a great evening filled with fun and laughter. It was wonderful seeing family and friends in just one room. An amazing night, indeed. :)

Photos from Feet for a Queen

Florals at Night Version 2.0

When I was thinking of a title for this post, I immediately thought of 'Florals at Night' and realized that I had already named one of my posts like this in my previous blog here. It's been a year since those photos were taken and I'm feeling a bit nostalgic. Those set of photos were one of my first outfit shots and I clearly remember how weird and uncomfortable I was feeling then. I read some of my old posts as well, such as this and wondered how much I had changed within a year.

Okay, back to the present! I wore my Feet for a Queen shoes for the very first time! I love how it gives me extra height. Great for the times when you need a confidence boost. It's my tallest pair and it's one of the most comfortable! You should get a pair from Feet for a Queen! Trust me, it's worth it!!

Thanks Phya for taking the photos! :)
