Hi friends!
I’m going to do something new today and share a little bit of my weekend wear. Lately, I’ve been feeling that I want to make my blog more reflective of my life as a whole. Apple of My Eye has gone through a good amount of transitioning over the last few years as I’ve played around with it being an online diary to a fitness blog to a food blog. As it turns out, it’s not as easy as I thought to find my niche on the internet machine! I’ve decided that I want to combine all of my interest into my site, so this means I’m going to mashup recipes, random rambles, fashion, health, and anything else that strikes my fancy. Hope that flies with all of you lovely readers! I’m also totally open to suggestions for blog post ideas if you have any you’d like to see :). Just leave a comment or shoot me an email!
Outfit details at the bottom of the post!
This was my outfit on Saturday and I want to give a big thank you to Kyle for helping me with these photos! We’re both back in our hometown for the long weekend (I came back for one of my best friend’s birthday party) and we had a lot of laughs as I tried to teach Kyle how to use my camera and simultaneously tried my best to strike some non-awkward poses. Someone please tell me what I should do with my hands 😯 .
I took these while changing my settings to shoot multiple photos/second for some walking photos, and couldn’t help but post a photo of Kyle being my test subject. Ain’t he a cutie? I promise he’s much more cheerful and less intense-looking in person hahah.
And this is what happens when you try to take a selfie with a 50mm lens on a DSLR camera. So much face!
Urban Outfitters Lace Bralette // Milia Box Pleat Skater Skirt // White Chiffon Top (TJ MAXX) // Michael Antonio Marlie Bootie (I got mine on Hautelook) // Brown Leather Workwear Purse (Michael Kors) // Gold Necklace (Ann Taylor Loft) // Tahari Kimmy Sunglasses (got similar ones at TJ MAXX for $15- woo!)
*I tried to find the exact link to all the items, but wasn’t able to find some of them online.
Let me know if any of you have post requests! I’ll see you all tomorrow for a new chocolate protein breakfast shake

You guys have so much awesome personality!
Amanda @ .running with spoons. says
SO cute! Loving the shots, lady! And the outfit is gorgeous as well.
I kind of feel like I’m in a similar place with my blog right now. Still loving the recipes, but also wanting to include a bit more of my other interests. Them niches are evasive little suckers.
Kelly @ Kelly Runs For Food says
Such a cute outfit! I still feel like I haven’t found a specific niche for my blog yet. I kind of like just writing about whatever I feel like, though!
Kels @ Blonder Side of LIfe says
Gorgeous! You write about whatever you want and we’ll still show up
JC says
I love this. btw, kyle’s socks totally ruin the tough guy look in that photo. lol
Sarah @ Sweet Miles says
You are adorbs I say it’s your blog, so post whatever your little heart wants!
Julia @ Lord Still Loves Me says
YOU ARE SO CUTE. End of story.
Mattie @ Comfy & Confident says
I love the outfit! And, your hair and makeup is so pretty! And… Kyle is adorable!!
Lacey @ Runs and Roses says
Adorable outfit, love it! I love incorporating more lifestyle type posts in my blog as well, I think it helps people feel more connected and get to know you better.
Chrissy @ Pink Polish and Running Shoes says
That skirt is adorable! Love it.
Kaylin @ Enticing Healthy Eating says
Looking GORGEOUS, Christine! The whole outfit works perfectly on you. By the way, it’s nice to actually see another woman with some thighs. I mean it! I have thicker thighs, and always have, and I love them. But it seems to be more of a rarity in the “healthy living/food blogger” community, so kudos to showing off those legs! You and Kyle are adorable.
Liv @ Healthy Liv says
1. You look beautiful and I love the “porcelain chic” look!
2. I’m loving your blog’s new direction! I personally love when a blog doesn’t just focus on only one part of someone’s life, i.e. cooking or fashion. Everyone’s lives have lots of things going on, not just 1 thing like cooking, so I love when their blogs reflect that. To me, it’s a lot more interesting and feels more authentic
Molly says
Your fashion sense is AMAZING and I can’t wait to keep reading your blog with this new focus!
Jackie says

Your pics are adorable and I love your hair! That is the perfect ombre. Cute outfit too! 😉
Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious says
Fabulous pics girl! You rocked them and Kyle did great. It’s hard when you’re in front of the camera isn’t it? I’m so self conscious, I’m not sure I could do it.
Leigha @ The Yooper Girl says
GIRL. These are incredible!! Like seriously, these should all be going viral on Pinterest. They’re perfect. Do you have a vignette on these? They seem darker on the edges. An idea for a post is a photo tutorial! I’ve gotten requests for them and I’d love to see yours 😀
Christine Skari says
STOP. I’m seriously blushing right now haha! I wish they’d get more on Pinterest. My Pinterest game has gone way down these last few months. These do have a vignette on them! Along with some other edits that I did. I really love lots of light in my images, so I usually lighten them even if they seem okay at first. I can definitely do a photo tutorial! That sounds like a ton of fun :). Do you mean just my editing process?
Leigha @ The Yooper Girl says
Editing process, favorite filters, any tips you’ve found! Maybe camera settings too!
cait @pieceofcait says
You are gorgeous lady!!! I love the outfit, cute photos !!
Christine Skari says
Thanks so much!
