A Camera Can Be a Dangerous Thing …

in the hands of the untrained. I’m all for experimenting (in fact, I don’t think I’ve ever used the same camera settings twice), but sometimes you just don’t get what you envision. With a whole lot of very bad photos to deal with, I attempted to go all artsy for this post. Please be kind.

Outfit 1:

Top: Clu

Skirt: YSL

Shoes: Alexander McQueen

Outfit 2:

Sweater: Anthropologie

Pants: Target

Booties: Alexander Wang

I had several accessories to show you in both sets of photos, but those pictures couldn’t be saved … at all. I expect I’ll reshoot these outfits at a later date, with more tried and true camera settings.

Thanks for reading. More soon. — Carole

Before The Miu Miu Bow Bag …

there were these …

The Miu Miu Bow Boot. I don’t remember exactly which year these came out, but it was the season immediately following the release of the Miu Miu Double Strap Mary Jane. While these are several seasons old, I do still like them … a lot. But I don’t wear them much because I prefer to wear heels. You see, I’m not tall, only 5’1″ (maybe a bit less), in fact. So I’m sure you can understand my preference for heels.

Anyway, these bows (and leather type) are the same produced on the first release of the bow satchel — the heavier duty pebbled leather.

I also wear some other stuff with my boots …

You may recognize my Fox Run scarf … I try to wear it once a year, that seems to be all I can manage …

And I have a new photo guardian …

From Anthropologie (along with some other goodies soon to appear). I think this giraffe is supposed to be a planter, but they forgot to drill drainage holes. I’m using it as a vase for now.

Sweater: Tory Burch

Skirt: Dolce & Gabbana

Scarf: Jeremy Scott

Boots: Miu Miu

That’s all for now. Thanks for reading — Carole

Trying To Get The Feeling

Hello, Dear Readers. If you follow my blog, you know that it’s been many days since I last posted. When I first started blogging, I promised myself that I would do this only as long as I enjoyed it. Well, blogging has begun to feel like more of a chore than a pleasant hobby lately. Will that feeling continue? Do I just need a break? I don’t know. Tomorrow, I might decide that there’s nothing more fun than standing in front of the camera and snapping a few shots. Or I may never feel the urge again. I guess time will tell. I took a lot of pictures a couple of weeks ago and rather than parcel them all out, I’m just going to post the whole lot (minus the pontificating).

Update: I have disabled commenting. I meant to disable commenting before publishing, but I forgot. I *do* appreciate the ones I’ve received and I thank you very much. :)

I appreciate your reading. Take care. — Carole

Anthropologie City Safari Belt

I saw this cute belt at my local Anthropologie a few weeks ago and since I adore giraffes, I had to have this. After finding one that didn’t have such serious zipper issues (the zippers are tricky/sticky on this piece but resolvable with graphite along the teeth), I had it wrapped up to go.

I sized up one on the belt because I knew that I would wear it over some serious layering (I have on 4 layers in these pictures — it’s cold here!).

With regard to the pocket on this belt, I find it hard to believe that it would be useful for anything other than a bit of folded up money. Still, maybe that’s all a person needs to keep with herself.

It’s a great little belt. If you want one for yourself, you can find it here.

Pajama Dressing

Today’s look is all about comfort. I think of an outfit of this type as Pajama Dressing because it is so comfortable, loose, soft, and completely non-restrictive. Just like pajamas should be.

I’m badly out of focus on these next two pictures, but hey, look at how crisp the fern is.

I was thrilled to finally locate these shoes. I bought them in Spring 2008 and wore them a couple of times, put them back in their box, and misplaced them. I’m very happy to have them back in rotation.
