Putting Pixlr to the Test

9 Nov posted by

I recently read about a photo editing site called Pixlr.

Basically, Pixlr is a free photo editing site that gives you almost all of the capabilities of Adobe Photoshop. While I have Photoshop, my poor computer has trouble running those types of programs at the same time as others so I try to limit their use only when absolutely necessary. I usually edit my photos (barely) in iPhoto and publish. However, given that I recently bought a new camera (Nikon D3100), I knew I needed to spend more time with my photos.

This is a photo from my old Nikon point and shoot but it was fun to try it out!

Belting it in

12 Oct posted by

Have you ever put together an outfit and just felt ‘eh.’ Typically I feel this way because I feel like the outfit doesn’t give me enough shape (which is easy with my frame). Typically, the way I fix this is by adding something to break me up in the middle. I have a fairly long torso, so belting it in and breaking it up helps.

Have you tried this tip?

Old meets new

10 Aug posted by

Have you ever bought something new and immediately knew which ‘old,’ maybe vintage, piece it would pair perfectly with?

One thing I’ve realized over the years of writing this blog is that some of my best outfits come from that line of thinking. In this outfit I had a new pair of heels I was dying to show off. I mixed it with a dress and sweater I’ve had for a long time and added a pearl necklace that I’ve had forever (literally, maybe since I was 12).

Making the LBD casual

3 Aug posted by

One of the best ways to get the most of your wardrobe is to have accessories that can dress up or down a simple piece. In this case, I took a basic little black dress and made it casual by adding a hipster-inspired tied neckscarf and sandals.

With the right jewelry and heels, this dress can actually look quite fancy!

Color splash

Some days you just need a splash of color in your outfit to get your day going. I’ve been putting in quite a few hours these days so I’m relying on color to start each day.
