A few weeks ago I wrote all about my favorite light bases for spring and two that are currently sitting in my bag are Armani’s Luminous Silk and Guerlain’s Meteorites Baby Glow. I’ll promise I’ll try to shut up about these two, just can’t help but love them.

How to get the most out of your DSLR I’ve been blogging for nearly five years and when I started, there were many things I was clueless about. Photography was one of them.
