I would declare carrying around a bulky DSLR frustrating, however having carried cameras with me for the best part of ten years now, it's pretty much become an unspoken accessory. A very large, heavy... necklace. Continuing with the theme of gadgets, I'll be leaving most of my tech at home as I'm a firm believer in breaks being treated as breaks! Besides, I've asked my mum to accompany me on this trip and I have a horrible feeling she'd attempt to dunk my Mac in the nearest river if I turned it on while away with her. Shudder. I will, however, be taking along my iPhone and a rather shiny one at that thanks to an aluminium-print phone case c/o from CaseApp. I had thought my previous green marble-printed case from the brand was gorgeous, but this custom iPhone case undoubtedly rises to first place!

Spot the gloves? Yeah, you can really tell I have no idea what to expect in Edinburgh at this time of year. One moment I'm considering gloves and scarves, and the next I'm eyeing up the gorgeous new #GETGLAMOROUS range by Quiz Clothing featuring dramatic designs and flattering fits. Though, I'm 99% certain I won't be able to walk up the steps of Edinburgh Castle in an embellished floor-sweeping gown. Pity, cagoule it is then...
With love,
Gabrielle x
Edinburgh is a lovely part of the world, although it was definitely cold when I was there! Lucky you getting to travel there, hope you have a great time! :) Also your phone case is awesome!

I can feel your pain dear. I carried dslr everywhere before. But then I invest on mirrorless camera. It's a lot smaller and light-weighted. So I bring it wherever I go and only bring my dslr on special occasion
ReplyDeletePerfect flatlay, by the way. I love taking flatlay pictures too <3
Anyway, I'd like to follow you on GFC, but I can't find the 'follow' button :(

ReplyDeleteThat case is so gorgeous! I also hate lugging around a heavy camera; I'm looking into the sony a7 full frame for a lighter and more compact option once I save up enough haha, that can be awhile!

Going to Scotland, are we? :) So great to hear that! I'm looking forward to seeing your travel posts from Scotland, I'm already seeing all the greenery with my mind's eye. I'm sure that packing at this time of year is tricky, for the weather has truly been unpredictable lately. Here it feels like Summer, the temperatures are sky high, but it is a windy so it is confusing. Anyhow, these flat lays photos you took are so pretty...and how cute is that phone case!!!!

I am super loving your travel flatlay! That phone case is so chic and cool. Loving it. Yes, like you, i feel having magazine to browse through really helps and makes time go by so much easier. I love ELLE UK. But I usually pick up a magazine on my way to travel or in the midst of it or something *_^
ReplyDeleteI totally get what you mean by bringing a heavy DSLR around... sometimes I so envy other fellow bloggers during events, seeing them only using a compact camera and snapped away, I tried that once or twice, but I still feel the quality visuals I get from using a DSLR and the results suit my blog better... it just looks different *_^
It's actually quite a a short trip, only an hour plus. that's good. I know that it has been raining in Edinburg based on your IG updates and it is nice that you get to travel with your mom!!
I shall look forward to your travel posts coming up here. Have a great weekend, Gabrielle.
