First Try... Pink Frustrations - OOTD

 Hey ladies! This is my first post using the new camera. Why didn't anyone tell me that this wouldn't be as easy as I expected? I assumed since I had a new camera I could take a few pictures and be done. WRONG. Here's how it went.

After work I went to Walmart and bought the cheapest tripod that they had. WRONG AGAIN. I got home and realized that I picked up a monopod. Ugh! The other options at Walmart were $30+, so I decided to go to Target to get one. Once I was done the sun had gone down. Getting good pictures in a park full of trees with no sun? It might not be that hard for some, but when you haven't gotten used to camera settings... it's hard. I didn't have the energy to keep playing with different settings. It was also awkward being out there by myself with my tripod. Every time I saw someone coming, I would wait to take the next picture. I took a few shots and gave up.

It's not the best quality, but I like the look of the picture. I also need to find other locations. I quickly realized that when the ground is wet, it's not the best situation for heels.

Still not the best, but it's one of the "better" pictures.

 Since I didn't get many decent shots at the park, I tried out the new setup at home. 

This is my favorite

 

 

I don't know what was going on with my scarf.

Top - Old Navy // Jeans - Levi's // Shoes - Jessica Simpson Waleo // Scarf -Walmart

 Being in front of the camera also wasn't as easy as I expected. The crazy thing about that is that I LOVE taking pictures. But it feels different trying to get the "blogger look"... y'all know that "this-is-my-serious/model-face-and-I'm-not-supposed-to-smile blogger look." Let's hope practice makes perfect!

Anyone have any helpful "photography" tips?

Cocoa, Carrack, Cathi & Cecity

Hey y'all! I was browsing Jessica Simpson's website and I fell in love with quite a few pair of new arrivals! Before you continue, if you're a shoe lover, grab a towel to control your drool! Lol!

 Cocoa

Cocoa is definitely my favorite! I think I've recently acquired an addiction to wedges!

Carrack

Carrack, yes, Carrack! I love the nude and coral color (described as neo-Orange on the website). The other two colors aren't really me.

Cathi

Sexy Cathi! My heart skips a beat when I look at these!

Cecity

I'm not as in love with these, but the first color definitely grabbed my attention!

There were a few more that I'll share with you ladies later! What do you think of these? Which is your favorite? Let me know! 

Later!

Coral Floral

Hey y'all! I went to a house party Saturday night and I had a rare chance to take pictures for an OOTD. My hair was still in twists, but I was getting tired of them, so I switched it up! Long hair don't care! lol! But I'm really missing my fro! It's been three weeks since I saw her!

Shirt - Rainbow // Jeans - Mossimo for Target // Shoes - Jessica Simpson Waleo //
Clutch - Target

Even though the colors of the jeans and shoes blend with the shirt, this was my first small attempt at color blocking and I loved it! I can definitely see myself wearing this again with a different top.

He even let me get a shot of him and post it!

Shirt - Hollister // Shorts - Tommy Hilfiger // Shoes - Tom's

 

I'm in love with these shoes and they are so comfortable!

Yeah yeah... I know the picture is bad!

MUAH!!!

Of course I couldn't leave without my infamous car shot!

Any ideas for a top to wear with the jeans and shoes? For a "more extreme" color block look...

Do you color block?

Later y'all!

Hello Lover! Shoe Haul

Hey y'all! I haven't posted in a week and it feels like an eternity! There's really no reason. I've just been lazy. Now with that out of the way... here we go! Over the last few weeks, I've found some great deals on shoes! And we all know (or maybe you don't... but now you do) that I LOVE shoes!

 Remember this post about my first pair of Jessica Simpsons? Well I couldn't help myself, so I went back to Dillards and came out with these...

... Jessica Simpson Waleo in Cranberry. I LOVE this shoe! The color is gorgeous. I can't wait to wear these! Dillard's was still having their clearance sale, so I got these for only $31.15! Yeah, I know! Great deal!

Now comes Valentine's Day and my beau surprises me with these!

Yes, another pair of the JS Waleo in coral! He had no idea, but I've been wanting a coral pump for a while now! He definitely did an awesome job with these! I must admit I was a little ruffled that he paid full price! Hey, what I can say... I'm pretty cheap frugal. Nonetheless... I'm in love! (with him and the shoe!) He wanted me to wear them out to dinner that night. I had nothing that would do them justice, so I settled on all black. 

Not the best picture, but I hope you get the idea. 

One day I got the urge to stop in Target. I try to limit my Target trips since I'm always sure to find something that I want, but don't need! But I couldn't let these wedge booties go!

Mossimo Kloe in Olive

These have also been on my wishlist. I was just waiting for the right price and on clearance for only $20.68, these fit the bill! The next find was another shoe that's been on my wishlist. Leopard flats...

Mossimo Ona

Only $14 and that's regular price!

A couple of days later I visited a different Target and found these on clearance for only $8!

Mossimo Pearlie

The chunky heel is a big hit now, so I thought I would give these a try! 

There you have it! My want for shoes should be fulfilled for a while. Later y'all!

Hello Lover... JS Bendie

S.H.O.E.S! 

I don't think I've shared on the blog how much I LOVE shoes! One of my favorite designers is Jessica Simpson. I love her shoes! Since I'm a frugal gal, I don't care to spend $80+ on one pair of shoes. That's why I don't didn't own a pair of Jessica Simpson's. Yesterday, my best friend/Godsister called to tell me that Dillard's was having one of their great shoes sales. Of course I put on my shoes and ran for the door! I was in Dillard's for all of 30 minutes and I came out with my new babies! In the words of Carrie Bradshaw (Sex and the City)... Hello Lover!

Jessica Simpson Bendie in Cranberry/Maya Nubuck. The regular price was $89. The sale was 65% off so I got them for only $31.15! Now tell me that wasn't a steal! They've been out for a while, but I could care less about that! I was drooling over this shoe when it came out and I am now the proud owner! I can't wait to wear these! Y'all will definitely know when I do!

I won't tell y'all that was I walking around cleaning up last night... in these! Lol! Yyyyeeeessss! Later y'all!
