Editing Photos...

ok...so I have a problem.
 
as if it isnt weird enough taking photos of what I wear.
 
I need to find a better spot to take the photos.
 
 
For instance...take this weekend's outfit.
 
 
If I didn't edit the photos you saw yesterday...this is what you would get!
 
 Before editing...
you cant even really see my shoes!


After editing...
thats a little better...

 
It does discolor the clothing but I want to give you ladies clear photos!
 
We have an awesome camera and I feel like we are not taking advantage of it!
 
 
I need to do some research...play around with the camera settings and play around with different areas in the yard haha. Ok...Im not a weirdo or anything!
 
Do you ladies have any tips?!?!
 
 
Let's just say...Eric and I will be tryng to find a new spot to pose! He is such a trooper...haha!

a few stripes...


Shirt & Necklace: Old Navy
Wedge Booties: Francesca's
Chambray Shirt: H&M
Cross Bracelet: Derng (only $11!)





oh my....
yes...I am wearing chambray again in my outfit.
I swear...are you tired of chambray yet haha?
Not only do I love wearing it as a main piece of clothing but also as an undershirt!
Also...this was my inspiration for the rolled up jeans with booties!
Another new fav that I think I will be doing all season long!



(linking to the pleated poppy for what i wore wednesday)
 
Have a great day ladies!!

a dog day...

I have seriously neglected these pups on the blog lately!
I took these yesterday...
can you believe Tank is already 11 months old?!
His lip always get stuck on his teeth...it's actually quite funny!



we think rabbits live under our back porch...chloe is constantly sniffing and snorting trying to find and chase them...poor things! she'll stay outside all day doing this!


wore my new boots this weekend from blowfish shoes!
and my new boots socks from grace and lace!
I love those pups!

so we actually didnt do a whole whole lot this weekend...
I say that...but now I look back and maybe it was really just Sunday we didn't do a whole lot.

We celebrated my sisters 29th birthday! Got to spend time with my niece and nephews!  Eric and I won $28 playing LCR with the fam. And I had a fun little photo shoot with Juliana!!

and that's about it!

Wine colored nails...got my nails done this past weekend :-) OPI - wine (nails are shellac)

yes...I know...my wedding band should be closest to my heart...but I need my ring sized haha!




Leopard - got the new leopard flats from Target



Mustard - I do love the condiment but this fall I'm loving the color! 
Like this mustard scarf!

\
Leggings - I will be wearing tights with everything I can!
Here are some cute colored ones!






Boots/Wedges - short or tall...I don't care! These bad boys came in the mail from Blowfish Shoes the day!! LOVE THEM!






Coffee Cozies - like who doesn't want to have the cutest cup of coffee ever?! Check out this shop!






Chambray or Blue Jean - like this jean vest from Sway Chic!



Fur Vests - yes I am for real! I really really wanted this one but they didn't have my size...sad day. Because she makes it look soo soo cute!

a touch of leopard

what i wore this weekend.

I love being comfy while I'm out running errands!

and this was super comfy...

so I decided to chop my head off because I just wasn't feelin' it!



shoes: target for $20! 
(same here but in-store only...similar ones here)


I always look forward to fall because I feel like I can wear more leopard.

I guess leopard just seems so fall-ish to me. And I wish this Texas weather would become more fall like...geez!!

What do you think...??

a Honeymoon...via our phone!

Well...we went way over budget on our wedding so we decided to take a trip to Austin and stay at a resort for some relaxation after the wedding.


It was relaxing for sure. We stayed in a condo at the resort on Lake Travis and pretty much laid out by the pool the whole time!

and sorry...didn't even take photos at the Sushi place we went to...was so sad...because Eric is now in love with sushi!


so here are a few photos of us pretty much at the pool!












so lame huh!! 
just a bunch of photos in bathing suits!! 

oh well! 
we had a good time!
