Cameras Bring Me Great Joy

Ok. Once I saw this pendant from The French Factory (link translated into English), I was captured (on film! Not funny, ok.) First of all, it was on one of my new favorite sites (read: EVER) The Cherry Blossom Girl (note:link also translated into English which yes I realize is a bit redundant since she kindly translated for English speakers anyways...). Second of all...I'm pretty obesessed with cameras anyways. I satisfied my need elsewhere because The French Factory has no online store and also it is quite pricey. I happened to stumbled upon the most adorable Etsy store and happily bought a suitable camera pendant necklace (and octopus pendant...and clock ring...etc.) there instead. Woot, buy handmade!





Also, until my lovely necklace arrives, I happened upon this Hello Kitty ornament and fixed it into a necklace. I thought it was quite appropriate given my recent obsession. I also loved my getup today...even though I realized it was kind of Hannah Montana esque...Anyways,my sister and I had a lot of fun with my Rebel XTi camera today so be sure to stay tuned for other photoshoots.

The Human Hording Phenomenon

Skirt: PacSun (5$!)
Tights: Belk
Shoes: Candie's (the greyish line across the toes are zippers!)


Cardigan:AE
Tank, Necklace: Wet Seal
Jeans:PacSun (they were having great sales)
Shoes: Old Navy


The above skirt and pants were both on great sales (I got the green pants for free after buying a pair of black jeans). The skirt is very reminiscent of one I have seen from AA, however, it was only five dollars. Needless to say, I stocked up. I got one blue, one gray, and one black. I buy too much black and gray nowadays so I figured the bright sea foam green pants were a good addition to my wardrobe. I am thinking about going back and getting the purple and light blue ones, but only if they are having another buy one get one free sale.
Among other things, I've discovered I have five pair of black flats, all varying in style slightly. Apparently the psychological aspect of shopping is the human tendency to horde things. Apparently I am epitomizing that with my buying in quantity and buying similar things over and over again. Have you guys ever had anything like that? Where no matter how many similar things you own, every time you see the item(s) again you want another?

Random Eye Focused Inspiration Interlude!
Top: I think that is the "Proenza Schuler Blue" color that some make up company actually made for the show. I don't really remember because it is just a random picture I found on my computer. However, despite my tendencies toward neutral colors in my wardrbe (all brightly colored pants aside), I absolutely love brightly colored make up. Recently I wore bright yellow eye shadow with lime green as eyeliner. It sounds a lot more atrocious than it was when I describe it.

Bottom:(Sorry if you don't like Gossip Girl). I think it's funny how thier characters' personality shows up in these pictures. Plus, Blake Lively being the only girl in this picture reminds me a lot of my group of friends. All my best friends are guys. Oh, but for the actual inspiration part, I LOVE THOSE SUNGLASSES. I don't remember what they are called, but they aren't the Wayfarers. I like the blue ones on the far left and the gold ones that Blake Lively is wearing.
