Bust Out Your 2000s Shield Shades

The aughts were a bold time for eyewear. Stars were running around Hollywood in huge bug-eyed shades (very Paris Hilton) and clear, tinted square frames (very Eve), and I simply had to try them all. As a teen, I was completely obsessed with big, wraparound shield frames. (You could hide half of your face behind them—a shy teen’s dream!) I taped a 2006 Dior sunglasses ad starring Kate Moss, in which she wears huge black shield sunnies, onto my bedroom wall for inspiration. Britney Spears also rocked a pair of Dolce & Gabbana shades, and I’ve been on the hunt for them ever since.

Now that spring is finally here, it’s time to start transitioning your wardrobe from winter into the current season. That doesn’t necessarily mean put away all sweaters and coats, because as we know spring can be very fickle. But there are a few tricks to making those winter-looks more spring friendly.

Transitional Coats: Last week I talked about transitional coats, and these are the perfect items to add into your wardrobe right now. Lightweight, but will still keep you warm on a cool night.
Spring Sweaters: Layer with a transitional coat, or wear on its own, some of your winter sweaters are easy to wear into spring. I lived in these cashmere sweaters from Everlane all winter, and I know I’ll be pairing them with skirts and shorts for spring.
Pumps instead of Boots: I’ve traded in my boots for pumps. Keeping my feet warm isn’t a priority anymore, so it’s time to break out my favorite heels and pair back to effortless denim. These pumps have been worth the investment – I wear them the most during spring.

What’s the problem?

Trees are more important today than ever before. More than 10,000 products are reportedly made from trees. Through chemistry, the humble woodpile is yielding chemicals, plastics and fabrics that were beyond comprehension when an axe first felled a Texas tree.

Beginner’s Guide to Natural Light Photography.

Each of these parameters may be tweaked to get the ideal exposure or the perfect balance of light and dark in your photos. If you don’t feel comfortable modifying these settings on your own, you may always use your camera’s automatic or program settings. When taking a shot, shutter speed refers to how long the shutter on your camera remains open.

Natural Light Photography Fundamentals
To capture beautiful photographs in natural light, you don’t need to attend a full photography school, but there are a few camera settings you should be familiar with before getting started:

Aperture refers to the size of the aperture in your camera lens that allows various quantities of light to pass through. F-stops are used to measure the aperture. The smaller the hole and the less light that enters the camera, the greater the f-stop. With a higher f-stop, more of the image will be in focus (think Ansel Adams). A lower f-stop implies less of your image will be in focus, allowing you to focus more on your product.

Fast shutter rates can effectively “freeze” action in a single frame, resulting in no blur. Slow shutter rates have the reverse effect, resulting in photographs that are purposely (and aesthetically) blurred. Depending on the effect you want, shutter speeds can be as fast as 1/100th of a second or as slow as a couple of seconds.
