New camera straps!

These are actually the first non-stock camera straps I’ve ever bought. It’s been long enough, right? I was debating which color to get for so long that I decided to just get both! I’m so glad I did.

in February air

♫ “February Air” – LIGHTS Mustard has always been a “taboo” color for me, despite being a huge fan of it. One of my mentors told me that I didn’t look good in yellow while I was trying on a jacket, and I took that to heart. Last year I decided I didn’t care if […]

First impressions: etchr art satchel

Like thunder gonna shake the ground.

Unfortunately it’s already melting, but I managed to snap some photos this afternoon. 🙂 Despite the snow, I still wear skirts! hahaha thank goodness for insulated + thick tights 🙂 I really love messenger bags, but because of my preferred […]
