Let's Take a Look at the Facts

I was talking with Robyn, like a do everyday.  We got on the discussion somehow of how many pictures she takes versus how many pictures I take.  I'm not sure if you want to know what type of gear I use, or my picture taking skills... but keep reading and you are about to find out.

Camera I use: A Nikon Cool Pix L20.  Yes, I use a point and shoot on a tripod.  It has a simple 10 second timer.   I take about 6 or 7 photos in my shoots, on a cold day... that shrinks to about 3 or 4.

I edit my photos using Preview.

Why am I confessing all of this?  I am not sure.  I guess, I just want you to know that you don't have to have a super expensive camera to take good photos.  You just have to know your equipment. 

Can we talk about this dress (and not talk about my kitchen and laundry room?)?  Great!  This weekend I went to the fantastic Local Honey and picked up this dress.  Beautiful, brown, and paisley. 

Dress: vintage, Local Honey
Tights: Mocha c/o We Love Colors (We Love Colors sent me a back up pair of mocha tights)
Boots: Anthropologie
Necklace: family heirloom

By the way, I have a pretty fantastic giveaway coming up later this morning.  Just get ready...  it is absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to tell you all about it!

Polar Bears

Monday is here again.  Although my Saturday was incredibly productive... laundry, hang out with Lisa, dinner, shopping*, coffee**, nap, 80s dance party***... My Sunday was a complete waste.  Oh well, there is always next Sunday right?

For this outfit, I feel like I was channeling Rachel from Glee.  The sweater?  If you went to Urban Outfitters at all over the Christmas season, you probably saw it.  I was smart and asked for it for Christmas.... and I love it.  It is great because it looks more sophisticated than you think.  I know I know, I'm 26 years old and wearing an animal sweater?  But really, unless you really look at it, you don't even realize its a polar bear... with claws.

*My favorite place to shop, Local Honey had a grand re-opening/shop-warming party on Saturday night.  Tons of fun and killer cocktails made with Hawaiian Punch.
**Well actually it was hot chocolate.
***I don't typically go to 80s dance parties... just got invited to one.  It was also a goth night too.  Talk about people watching.  Wow!  I wore the outfit above and claimed I was New Wave 80s grunge?
