Pretty Pattern

15 September 2009















So after taking these photos today, I realized... it might be nice to actually smile sometimes
in my photos. In real life, I am quite a happy and smile-y person, I promise! I think it's finally time I share some actual bonnie-having-fun photos. Here are some photos with my roommates/friends and my boyyy. Oh and just so it's known, the couch that my roommate and I are sitting on in the first photo is quite possibly my dream couch which we found at goodwill.

Anyways, I bought this jacket at my favorite thrift store and instantly fell in love with the color palette used. I'm naturally drawn to darker colors, so when I do wear color, darker ones like these are ideal. Plum, burgundy, forest green, and gray are some of my favorites. Once fall truly hits, these are the colors I will be reppin'.

And on a completely random side note, yesterday I completely re-decorated my room for the first time in ages. It is such a refreshing feeling! I suggest everyone move atleast one piece of furniture in your room. I swear you will feel 100 times better and fresher.









Wearing: thrifted jacket & bag; payless fioni boots; f21 skirt & tights

You look awesome! And these pictures are priceless. I love the smiley pictures but for some reason I don't smile in many of my outfit posts either...

And you definitely know what colors work best on you. Those rich colors make your skin glow - you always look beautiful!

Winnie said...

Aw, I adore those polaroid shots, they're so fun! That jacket is so lovely on you and I looove those boots. I so need some like that for the winter. I know what you mean about smiling in photos! I do in some of mine but that's only when I have someone take them for me...otherwise I feel a little silly for smiling and waiting for the timer!

Your pictures are actually quite dark; I think I would like the jacket if I could see the details better. Also your hair hides a lot of your outfits, I\'d suggest trying to restrain its wildness!

indigotangerine said...

All of you are so cute. love the dark colors and and flower lights. And you and the bf look unbelievably sweet.

Lovely outfit lady -very Autumnal inspired. That's a good tip about moving stuff in your room. Had I not just moved flats I would be doing that to freshen things up myself.

Your friend with the blonde hair looks very much like Casey from the UK TV show Skins - check it out! It's one of my favourites.
