Take 10 isn’t all about shoes, clothes and accessories, y’know. This styling decagon is branching out into consumer goods, and our first non-wearable challenge item is a… camera?
When I first heard we’d be styling up a Lomography camera, I was confused. Every camera I’ve owned has been an ugly lump of black or silver plastic – definitely not something worthy of an entire blog post. But then I discovered the Diana. She’s small, cute and comes in a range of colours and patterns for the fashion-conscious photographer. The perfect candidate for a blogger styling challenge!
Diana Mini ‘Love is in the Air’
Charity shop dress, Georgia Rose sandals c/o Sarenza, belt c/o Next, Topshop ring
I chose the adorable ‘Love is in the Air’ style and matched the bright blue of my camera with this sunshine yellow chiffon dress, picked up from a charity shop for £4.49. I love how the clouds on the camera work with the dreamy florals on the dress.
I removed the flash for styling purposes but I’m genuinely excited to get out there and take some snaps. The Diana gives photos a soft-focus, over-exposed effect – perfect for an Instagram/Photoshop Actions addict like me.
Here’s how the other girls styled their cameras…
L-R: Harriet, MJ, Vicki, Sabine, Ellie, Susie, Sarah, Sherin, Paula and me.
What do you think – can a cute camera be part of an outfit? Or do I look like an overdressed tourist?
I love the Diana….and I adore these Take 10 posts!

I love Diana cameras, I have my eye on the original black and blue one. They all look amazing though and I really like this Take 10 challenge.

Is that the Topshop dress? Did you find it in a charity shop? How lucky its worth like £40! I’m very jealous! I agree with the print and colours of camera and the dress combination. x
Such a cute camera, looks great against the colours of the dress x
The Diana looks lovely but they are useless cameras! I brought one and often only one or two frames a roll come out 🙁 the Lomo fisheye camera is brill though
I LOVE the diana – I have two! Greedy guts! I have the original diana mini and the diana dreamer, which I am going to use with the instant back. Can’t wait to see the snaps you take 🙂 Also love your dress x
I cannot believe you got that amazing dress from a charity shop!!

I agree….you’re so lucky to have found such a gorgeous dress in a charity shop! The colour and pattern is amazing, and styled so well with the camera, which I now kinda want…
Ooh I’d love to try one of the Diana cameras! Beautiful dress and great thrifty find! Love the belt too…it’s the small things, no?
Lovely post. The camera looks awesome – might have to invest 😉
Dress is also very cute… x
What a great. Who’d have thought a camera can be a fashion accessory?!
*great camera
I have a Diana and I love it! I’ve fallen head over heels for your dress here, Jen. It’s gorgeous!
That dress is simply gorgeous Jen! Looks fantastic on you. I don’t know much about photography but the camera is pretty sute too.
I love the Diana! And it looks perfect against that beautiful dress! I think a camera can be a good accessory… As long as you have a nice one! Then and again I suppose this rule follows with all accessories.

Jen, you look fab and the mini diana you chose is such a cutie too!
I love your dress – it looks perfect with the camera! I am so looking forward to going out and taking some photos with mine now!
I always carry a camera, so having a fun colourful one is of course a nice idea ! Plus they take fab photos!
I often take your camera along with me anywhere and everywhere, and start taking photographs. Sometimes it will yield amazing and creative results. By the way, I love lomography because it emphasizes casual, snapshot photography.
Fabulous!!
I loved the Lomography cameras! They were all so cute. I love the colour of yours and how you paired it with yellow.
So pretty, love the little caption inside the lens. Cutest camera I’ve seen.
Love the Rose heels, and the dress was a bargain! it’s gorgeous!
