50mm of love

A year and a half ago my parents got me a 50 mm lens for my 'coming home from australia' present. I remember being so excited because I always wanted a 50 mm...but I didnt know how to use it at all. Needless to say, its been sitting in my bedroom for that entire year and a half & today I finally got sick of seeing it sit there so I decided to take it out with me and Nathan and see if he knew how to use it. Oh, how I love my boyfriend. I knew there was a reason I liked him so much! ;) He knew exactly how to use the lens and how to make these photos look amazing! No more photoshop for me. Couldnt be more blessed. I seriously recommend all of you to look into getting a digital SLR. It was the best investment I ever made and will never go back!

If there is one thing I like almost as much as I like Nathan..its this cardigan. I know, you are probably getting sick of seeing it on my blog all of the time, but I cant stop wearing it. And for good reason. Its the comfiest thing ever! I have been stalking the Urban Outfitter website since boxing day to see if this puppy was going to go on sale and just a couple weeks ago it did, in every color! Eeeep. Guess what cardigan you will be seeing a lot more on Postcards From in the future? ;) And these tights were a lovely gift from my favorite gals over at We Love Colors. I cant rave enough about WLC. They make the best tights - and that says alot coming from a girl who wears tights every single day of her life. I LOVE their tights..and thought white would be a nice addition to my rainbow of colors. Thankyou Cara!! xo

Have a wonderful week buttercups! x

    Oh, you are an absolute doll. This is seriously one of my top favorite blogs! I love having a boy who knows how to use cameras - aren't they handy? And yes, DSLRs are SO AMAZING. I think I would literally mourn for weeks if something happened to ours.

    Kate, you are seriously just too adorable for words. That color is absolutely gorgeous on you! And I don't mind seeing this cardigan at all, if you love it tons and it's comfy, you should wear it on your blog a lot. So I adore you and your style. Oh and I'm so happy Nate was able to figure out that lens, these pictures are amazing! Have a great night! xo

    Ah! I love the 50mm! I was perplexed how to use it at first too, but it has turned out to be one of my favorite lenses that I own! I love my 35mm now though hehe. I don't have to be as far away from my tripod/Robert :) I absolutely ADORE this outit Kate! I have that cardigan in maroon but for some reason I haven't worn it yet on my blog all Winter long. I should get to it before Spring gets here. I love that dress too! Eep! This outfit is just too perfect!

    Ah, I love my 50mm lens - it's perfection! I don't blame you for wearing that cardigan all the time, it looks seriously comfy! I like that you paired it with a floral dress and white tights... it feels more like spring, but still warm enough for winter.

    Gorgeous! 50mm is where it's at, I think :) Especially combined with a fast aperture. Such a nice and bright look. I love how you've layered.

    Amazing photos! I have a 50mm lens too but we don't really use it for outfitphotos that often because we usually take them in quite crowded places and then you have to stand so far away to get a head-to-toe shot! But I really want to teach my boyfriend how to use it so we can use it on more outfit-shots.

    Also, I don't mind the cardigan, I think it's wonderful!
