Life is beautiful!

Layering: Black and Grey

Look at the bright side of things, that is one moto I try to live by. It's been raining since Midnight, pouring like crazy. I decided to wear layers cause outside looked like it was cold and I kinda dislike bulky jackets.
I layer enough pieces that when I was out I did not have button up my Trench coat. Sometimes when it rains like this my instinct is to stay in bed, or just read a book but I had to run errand, so there comes the need to pick an outfit that is easy and fun.

I got some emails asking me about the extra thing I did on Monday,  I got to be an extra in the movie Joyfull  Noise with Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton, and the best part is I got to sit next to my two friends. We were seated 10 feet away from the stage so it was nice to see both celebrities in person. It was a long day but today I have to say that my energy is back.


                                                        Take time to smile, do it often!

Be thankful even for the rain!

Photoshoot number One

I recently got a Canon D7 as a Valentines present and has ever since been playing with it.
Today was such a gorgeous day to shoot. My friend S. was kind to volunteer as the model for today's project. I pulled out some clothes and let her choose what she wanted to wear. I wanted her to be comfortable and the most important thing I wanted her to be herself .

My assistant  for the day Joyce drove us around and was the one holding the hats, the jewelry, the scarfs and the glasses.
The model was easy to work with , I didn't had to tell her a lot.
Here are some of the pictures.........  from my very first photoshoot. I have to confess I took approx. 420 pics.A big thanks to S. and Joyce you guys rock, thank you both for letting me play a bit:)
