I got a 50mm lens for my birthday and was super excited to test it out. It definitely has a learning curve but close-up pics work really well. I am still getting used to it and figuring out all the settings. I figured what a better way to debut both and show off my new purse! Isn't she gorgeous?

I ended up getting 2 of these gorgeous taupe babies so I will be selling one of them. It's a very long and complicated story of how I ended up with two but I figured someone would be able to benefit from my madness. So if you are interested- please email me for more details. **Purse has been sold**  I also will be selling a few other of my Chanel purses and you will see why later on this week....stay tuned!!!!

I am loving my depth of field pics! It just makes things more interesting! If anyone has any advice on settings or how to use a 50mm lens, I would greatly appreciate all the help I can get!

It was deathly hot outside but I forced hubby to take pics of me (poor guy). I found this tee for only $10 at Ann Taylor so I couldn't resist! See Jean's post here on how to wear it business casual. She looks great in it!

Oh and I completely forgot that I uploaded Part 2 of my Wardrobe essentials video last weekend. So if you have a moment, watch it if you'd like:)

Have a great day!
