My first video lookbook! And I think I’ve figured out the focusing issues so my next vlog will be much better than the last one. But I do really appreciate you guys still watching that one as I know the quality was terribly lacking. If you are wondering, I’m using my Canon 5D mark II which is a dSLR camera with video capabilities meaning it’s not a true video camera. There’s no handy auto focus like on regular video cameras so everything has to be done manually and when you are self shooting, it’s pretty much impossible! A lot of people do use the 5d mark II as a video camera (I think it’s the camera of choice for many wedding videographers) but they also have to buy a lot of additional equipment to make proper videos (which I don’t have). My husband shot today’s lookbook so he was able to control all the focusing so it’s a much better video to watch. Hope you like it! I thought it was a fun way to do a lookbook and will try to do more in the future. Let me know what you think!

These gray jeans have a bit of sparkle on them! Or these jeggings are perfect and a great price.
I went with a pop of pink with the gray this time. Having too much fun mixing and matching my nail colors!

December 7, 2010 at 4:32 pmSoo cute Tiff! I can't believe it's warm enough still in Seattle to wear tank + cardi. 🙂 You really don't have to worry about focus so much, I think we ll love your videos regardless. (but I know that's the photographer/perfectionist in you!). P.S. I love the name of the OPI polish "Dim Sum".

December 8, 2010 at 4:31 amI absolutely love the electric blue cardigan. It seems I can't get enough of them. We wear the same sizes (except for shoes, I'm a 6.5), so I kind of get an idea of how things will fit me from your lookbooks.
