I took a hint from some comments from the last what-i-was-wearing post and smiled in this picture, it really is nicer to look at pictures of smiling people! I don't know what it is about fashion blogging but it just seems like the standard is to not smile in your pictures. Well, I say we start a movement - the smiling fashion bloggers movement! Smiley people unite!
But seriously, this whole smiling thing is very interesting to me. So what do you guys think? Do you prefer smiley pictures? Do you prefer the somber, typical fashion blogger pictures? Do you not care at all what expression someones face is in, and just look at the outfit? Let me know!

it's refreshing to see a smile...there are some bloggers that take themselves way too seriously. maybe post 2 pictures of each outfit - one smile and one serious! everyone wins!
xox
great picture! i used to crop my head off in all my outfit pictures, then i changed to showing my face, and my on/off internet stalker e-mailed me to say how happy he was that i was showing my face...sooooooooo i started looking down or over to the side in my outfit pictures instead of showing my face. anyway, when i take my pictures, i'm usually makeup-less...
i like the smiling, but i think in a way, i like candid shots a little better, like jennine's from the coveted and deanne from dream sequins'
sweet hat ;)
All my pictures are smiley....I can't help it!
I like personality to come through; whether it's clothes or smiles. =D
i love your shoes!!!
Hanh,
Given that this is my first time looking in on you/your blog, I don't know what you look like not smiling, so I don't have much perspective.
However, you look superb smiling. Your smile lights up that back porch in a way the sun never could, so I vote for smiling!
(p.s.: I love the sandals.)
Yes, smiling in pictures is always nice. I think it radiates warmth from the blogger to the reader. And I agree with Enc that your smile does light up the back porch! I love your outfit, especially with the hat. Very cool!
LOL, I love the little smile rant - yes, let's unite! I think as long as someone doesn't look sad, or disturbed or angry (fake angry is okay but sometimes hard to pull off) it doesn't really matter but smiles are good - especially when they're geniune :)
Love those shoes - Nine West really??? LOVE!
I second Ela, those shoes are so fabulous!! I wouldn't have guessed Nine West.
I think it depends on the outfit and setting. I think it's good to mix it up, smiling and non-smiling!
The shoes! The shirt, the hat! Love. Gorg, girly.
The hat is amazing!
Well if I had a fabulous smile like yours, I would flash it all the time. Unfortunately, I always look like I'm grimacing when I try smiles in pictures. I think that's why I try a half smile in photos. ;)
SO NICE TO SEE A SMILE! sorta makes my mouth turn, oh wait, that's a smile! thank you for spreading the vibe.
i gotta say this is extremely refreshing.
LOVE YOUR HAT. I MEAN LOVE IT!

Those sandals are amazing!
I originally thought somber looks were very interesting, but after seeing Rumi of Fashiontoast feature that everyday it got tiring. I much prefer smiles now!

Love the shoes. They remind me of a pair by Chinese Laundry, they are fabulous. Loving the hat too lady! Great job!

I must have your shoes. They look great with your outfit. I like how you incorporated a hat in this look.

I like your Nine West shoes.
I sometimes even crop my head out. For me it's more about the clothes. I don't particularly like having my picture taken so I find it hard to smile - it always looks too forced. Congrats on yours though, its lovely :)

Hmm...interesting point. I guess it just seems custom that you don't really smile in photos. Not sure why. In any case, your photo looks great.
I'm in love with your shoes, darling!

You have a nice smile that's why! I don't know about other bloggers, but when I smile in my pictures I totally look weird so hence the no smile. ~anh
I tend to smile quite a bit in pics...when I don't, I feel like I am trying to be like Zoolander1 lol
