This week I am visiting family in Arkansas!  I have never been in the south at all. It's an interesting experience.  It's nice to be able to relax for a week, get some color, and check out thrift stores of course ^_^

So far I have purchased a few nice things from thrift stores here, including an outfit which I rejuvenated using scissors that will be revealed tomorrow!

Oh yeah.. I also got a new camera.. my first DSLR!!!!!!! My dad ever so kindly gifted me his old Canon EOS 20D.  I have wanted needed a DSLR camera for so long. Ever since Lookbook became a hobby of mine, I have wanted to take more professional photos, but felt limited by my point-and-shoot Canon SX30.  Which is still an awesome camera, with a flip out screen, however my first roadblock with it was when I partnered with Sugarlips and they asked for high-res photos and while yes, the SX30 can take high res photos the quality and lighting and coloring and pixels themselves simply did not look good no matter how many masks/layers/Photoshop filters I used.

 

 So here is my last Lookbook photo I took a few days ago with the SX30.  Also, goals from now on regarding this blog include labeling every article of clothing worn with a description on how I obtained it & I'm going to work on creating a more sophisticated theme.  :)
