what i wore:: crazy cozy sweater

dress: h&m, sweater: abercromie & fitch, tights: spanx, shoes: aldo, jewelry: forever21 and american eagle
Okay, first things first. Excuse the ridiculous pose. I was having a bad hair day, in hurry and the camera wasn't cooperating. So there you go. A weirdo pose for the day.

Also, I love this sweater, but I hardly ever wear it. It's just so big and imposing that it overwhelms me and just about anything else I'm wearing. But it's still freezing here (stupid lying groundhog) and this sweater is crazy cozy and warm. I think this dress, with its tropical floral print, manages to hold its own with this domineering sweater (who knew a sweater could be domineering?). Learn something new every day, right?

beagle mania monday!

It's been a few weeks since the last Beagle Mania Monday. No worries. My beagles have still been super cute despite the absence of a post. Witness: A few cuteness overload events I managed to catch on my camera over the past few weeks.



On a sad note, my little Meadow Beagle (that would be the one on her back in the above photos) has a loose tooth! She's only three, but she was a rescue and a stray, so she had a bit of a rough start. So now she's off to the vet and I'm off to buy doggie toothbrushes to make sure her remaining teeth stay clean and intact.

what i wore:: anthropologie incorporated dress

dress: anthropologie incorporated dress, tights: spanx, scarf: target, shoes: modcloth, jewelry: made by me, charlotte russe
It took me all of two seconds between the time I first spotted Anthropologie's Incorporated Dress to the time I was clicking and buying. It was definitely a good purchase- so freaking comfortable, and cute, too. And warm. Since PA clearly did not get the memo that it's now spring. There are snow flurries in the forecast tomorrow. Really?

Also, I'm still working on the self-portrait, artificial light, manual mode, photography thing. Bear with me here. Better pictures coming soon.

Speaking of manual mode, do you guys use automatic on your DSLRs for self-portraits or do you use manual? I'm so used to manual because of my other adventures in photography, but maybe that's my problem with the self-portraits.
