photography

HELP!

The photos I post on here are pretty subpar.

Because:

1. I have a sucky cheap camera.

2. The only place to take photos is inside my poorly lit dorm room.

3. I use a self-timer, and

4. I don't have a tripod.

Do you, oh mighty bloggers, have any tips for me? Seriously, anything will do.

How do I take better photos?

Also, should I edit them in Photoshop instead of iPhoto? - I'm guessing yes, it's just that iPhoto is so much less time-consuming! But I'm willing to sacrifice the convenience for better photos :)

Slightly unrelated, random favorite photos dump:

easter luxe?

This outfit is pretty much the result of not having any clean clothes.

But I am totally enjoying wearing these boots right now.

The color combo reminds me of Easter but the black stuff makes it feel more....fancy? Or just chic-er. Maybe.

precious jewels

Today was apparently a jewel-tone type of day.

This circle scarf was such an epic win.

It makes me feel so luxe and the best part is, it cost me two bucks. And it's from Icing by Claire's! CLAIRES made this super soft, plush scarf - a pretty damn chic find, if I do say so myself.

So it's that time of year - March. When the weather is bipolar, and consequently so am I (Relient K song much?). Anyway, I'm in need of a pick me up...the reason for today's

Question of the Day: What do you do to destress? or, What's the funniest thing that has ever happened to you? (or you can answer both!)

Normally I'd bake cookies, go shopping or take a bubble bath, but in college those things are all kind of difficult - baking in our nasty-ass kitchen requires buying ingredients, which I can't really afford, which is also why I can't go shopping (and also because of Wardrobe Refashion), and there are no bathtubs anywhere. So what's a girl to do?

The good thing is, it's Friday.

The bad thing is, I'll be spending most of the weekend studying.

But ya know, it can only get better from here! :)

First day of the year SANS TIGHTS :D

I can't wait for summer to be TAN! (boo pale pasty legs)

Anyway, life is extremely busy right now with midterms and shit, so posting will be spotty. I do have lots of art to share, and hopefully some new etsy stuff, finally! Also, a diy tutorial coming up!
