Flashback to Film: The Perks of Film Photography

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Digital cameras might be all the rage, but that doesn’t mean film is dead just yet. There are a ton of artistic photographers who are dedicated to giving film a comeback, and the results of their work are truly dazzling.

Many of you may have noticed how Dan & Julie’s Real Wedding was full of unique photos, bright colors and interesting shots—that’s right! It was all shot on high quality film, printed and then scanned in to create digital prints.

You Look Nice Today Photography is a big proponent of film photos. I know it might be scary not to have the benefit of instant digital feedback, but it might be worth a try if you want truly unique photos with a fresh, artistic flair. Just look at how gorgeous some of these shots from You Look Nice Today came out:

Rent the Runway Makes High Fashion Super Easy

Monday, November 9th, 2009

One of the hottest new trends in online shopping has made it easier than ever to get gorgeous without spending a fortune. Rent the Runway lets you rent dresses from top designers, wear them and return them in a pre-paid package via the Netflix model. They’ll even send you the dresses you order in two sizes to ensure they will fit!

It’s a fun new way to find the perfect dress for your engagement party, rehearsal dinner, holiday parties and more. Here’s what would be on my wish list for holiday party season, from Versace to Dolce & Gabbana, Narciso Rodriguez and Diane von Furstenberg (oh my!):
