Newcomers to the (Ef)Face: Check These Out!

Let the Sunshine in





Today's shoot was challenging (as usual), but fun.  It was gorgeous outside!  And I wanted to take photos outside, but the sun was too bright, and the shade was too dark...plus since I am tripod-less and take photos with my phone (see below), this upped the difficulty level even more.  But, as Tyra Banks always says, "Find your light!"  So I did.  :)





Exciting news to all those paying attention out in the bloggersphere: my husband and I are trying to work things out.  We are separating, but I fired my lawyer, so I'm not currently persuing a divorce.  We are going to get 6 months of marriage counselling, and he has enrolled in some intensive personal counselling.  After these 6 months, we're going to re-evaluate whether or not our marriage can work healthily.  Wish us luck!


This outfit in its entirety (except the undershirt, which is from Aerie) was purchased secondhand. 
Yay for amazing Goodwill! 
Purse is originally Nine West, espadrilles are from Old Navy, and skirt is from Land's End.

  13. What a charming, springtime perfect outfit. I just love your sweet chambray blue shirt - and all the more so because you knotted it in the front. Being petite (5'2") and not long waisted at all, I very often knot my tops (and cardigans) in the front if I'm wearing them untucked, too.

    Big hugs & happy start of May wishes,

  14. I do agree with all of the ideas you have offered in your post.
    They're very convincing and can definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are very short for starters. Could you please extend them a little from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.

  18. Secondly, be prepared to be go on when it is your
    incredible turn. It guarantees the matching of the exact actual product
    in addition to its photo on the website. Give yourself time for you to unwind if you're buying or trading home. Acknowledge that Louis vuitton isn't cheap, buying online for real bags can save a bundle.
