♥ cool, calm & collected.

brooke brown's personal style blog, keep collected, is one of the

most creative sites that i have come across online. yes, there are

many fashion bloggers out there showcasing what they wearing day in

and day out, but i have yet to see anyone who composes their looks in such

an editorial-inspired way! love it!!

not only do her photos look like they could have been plucked from

the latest fashion magazines, but they are also just as affordable as

they are adorable! i had a chance to speak with brooke about her blog,

and she told me that she started it in conjunction with her work at

salt lake city's deseret news, where she writes for the features/ lifestyle

section and has a daily feature each monday.

she takes her photos using a nikon d40, a tripod and a timer, and

says that getting a good shot is alot of trial and error! she sets up a plain

white sheet in a corner of her apartment and photoshops everything

to look more presentable. here is a behind the scenes picture:

now that's a way to keep these cool, calm & collected!
