I have a friend whom I did some photography for at Belle Bijoux in Subico.

I must admit, womens accessories don’t really catch my fancy, but it was a good opportunity to learn how to use lighting to your advantage. I had brought my flash in preparation to use it, but the ceiling was dark purple. Not really worthwhile when you’re bouncing flash onto a white mannequin.

Bo Ra is the brain child of a friend who enjoys making bows and cute fancy little ‘girly’ things with vintage clothing. They are all unique and hand made. They’re cool and quirky and have the cute factor down pat. The fact the Belle Bijoux has personally selected her items in store says something about Bo’s designs.

If they looked good on me, I’d wear one too.
