LIFE IS...


I am a late technology bloomer so have only just got a smart phone and therefore, only recently truly discovered instagram (@withlovesofiaclara). When I was thinking about my goals for 2013, I had seriously considered doing a 365 project (a photo a day for 365 days) in order to improve on my photography, encourage me to take my camera out more often and have an overview of a year through photographs. 

In the end, I decided that it was going to be too distracting as I have to focus on these last 6 months of classes. Instead, I signed up for instagram with the intention of taking lots of photos of "la vie quotidienne" - whether it is cups of tea and hot water bottles, early morning snuggling on the sofa, days out with David, views, nature showing off or just wrapping up warm.

  2. glad you are finally on instagram, it's a lot of fun and i am sure you will enjoy it a lot. love this collection of photos as well - they are all just perfectly cozy. i love the cozy winter outfit as well in the 2nd photo. and i think it is probably a wise decision to focus on school - i really need to do that as well but it seems like at the moment i am putting more time and dedication into blogging and photography. you have a lovely blog here darling :) following you now.

  6. Hi, thank you for dropping by my blog! I've only just made the switch to a smart phone too (wait... does a Blackberry count? Though mine was really more of a Brickberry, the email function refused to work). And by the way, that 365 project sounds so lovely, I hope you will find the time to do it! :)

    1. Hi C,
      Thanks for stopping by. :)
      Yes, a Blackberry totally counts - I think anything that goes beyond the standard phone that pretty much just calls and texts counts.
      Hope to see you back here soon.

  11. I love the teapot and hot water bottle image! My new year's resolution was also to take more photographs, although I have to say, I'm not doing quite as well as I had hoped!
