These beautiful haunting photos feature Alessandra Ambrosio wandering the streets, messy hair and all. I love the blurred flowly textures of these photos - photographer Will Davidson really captured the essense of loss and confusion while still retaining beauty.
I wish I bought a Polaroid camera before it got discontinued. I feel like life would be that much more interesting. I know these aren't polaroids, but I still want one. Photos make the world go around.

Vancouver photography Dina Goldstein's twist on Disney's famous princesses challenge the idea of living "happily ever ever". Although not all of the characters are princesses (Little Red Riding Hood, for instance), Goldstein plays with creating situations of how these Disney damsels would be like in real life.
"These works place Fairy Tale characters in modern day scenarios. In all of the images the Princess is placed in an environment that articulates her conflict. The '...happily ever after' is replaced with a realistic outcome and addresses current issues...I began to imagine Disney's perfect Princesses juxtaposed with real issues that were affecting women around me, such as illness, addiction and self-image issues. "
Pretty interesting, no? I really love this collection. Being a Walt Disney lover myself (the classics, not the teeny bopper direction they've been following lately), these pictures not only caught me by surprise, but made me giggle a little. I guess not everything has a happy ending after all.

So today I decided to play around my baby (my Canon DSLR, of course) and try shooting some photos of my jewellery. Unfortunately, my collection of rings, bangles, necklaces and more is severely lacking. I grabbed a few random pieces, however, and started shooting away. I have to say, my favourite type of jewellery has to be rings. They say so much about a person, a really bring an outfit to life. Anything silver, vintage-inspired, edgy, long, multi-fingered, or weird is a score for me.
I probably should have thought the arrangement of the jewellery before I started snapping away, haha. But, I do love the addition of the fur in the photo (faux). My go to bracelet is the silver and navy one, along with the matching silver bracelet with patterned bumps.
You can see a closer look at the details of the other bracelets here. The magenta and pink beauty is something I picked up in Greece - I absolutely love it. And the more chunky turquoise number was a cheap - but awesome - find at Forever 21.
I love this photo - the gorgeous fur against the delicate but overpowering glimmering ring is perfect. I bought this for prom, but I never wore it. I love looking at it though - any suggestions on how to pull it off without looking a little over my head?
Two of my favourite rings currently are the two pictured aboce - the simply cut silver ring, and the men's braided ring that I found at H&M. I love them to pieces, but I would really love to extend my collection of rings to crazier, almost avant garde pieces.
Pearls are so classic, yet so modern. Paired with the fur, glamourous ring, slightly less subtle silver bracelet, and delicate lace, the look is screams old Hollywood.
What do you think? What's your favourite piece of jewellery?
