Eye Exam Time.

It's about the time of year for me to get an eye exam. As you all know I wear glasses & honestly I enjoy that I can wear those or my contacts because it allows different styles & looks onto my face with eyeglasses frames. lol I know it sounds silly but I have no problem wearing my glasses. I've been looking for a new pair & have been trying to get ideas of what style I'd like.


The internet is the best way of finding glasses online & there are tons that I looked into. I personally was looking at GlassesUSA.Com & found several that I thought would look nice. The website offers various styles, colors, shapes & sizes to fit your face. The part I enjoyed most was that you could take a picture of yourself & get an idea of how the glasses would look on your face.

All the pictures posted are courtesy of GlassesUSA.com. If you notice the styles I posted are either "in" at the moment, or similar to the ones that I have now. The brown ones I have are similar to the white glasses that are posted. My brown ones are actually a replacement pair instead of always wearing a nice pair of Prada ones that I have. Hence the reason I picked the Kenneth Cole pair out to have as the main pair of glasses & then switch it up with one of the other two.


Having back up eyeglasses are always nice. You never know when you misplace them. So after I go get my eye exam I plan on going to GlassesUSA.com to order an extra pair of one of the three styles that I have chose. There are tons of others & it was hard to narrow down which ones would be my second pair.


If any of you could help me by going to GlassesUSA.com & picking out a pair of glasses that you think would look nice on me & link it I would appreciate it. I need ideas & why not get ideas from the people who see me & read up on me, the people who have an idea of what style would look nice. Once you have found a pair for me, I will view it & narrow it down further. :) I honestly just want to use the promo code offered, because I could save a lot more money with this website than others.

Oh My God BECKY!

It's Tuesday & I'm updating my blog!
Let's see...what should I share?! Oh wait, I know!

WE MOVED INTO A NEW APARTMENT!!!
& let me just say there's a lot of work that is going into this apartment, a lot of decorating, cleaning, organizing, but so well worth it! I couldn't be happier with finding the place, seeing it & coming here to live. This is hopefully the place where no one feels they are going to go insane. I hope this is the place where we can come home to, kick it & just relax.

It's a two master bedroom, third room which will be the office/guest room, nice living room space, kitchen that leads to the very well sized bathroom. My closet is huge, but I still question how many things I have & not having the space to fit all these things. The only issue was the people who lived here prior to us. They were absolutely filthy & we're hoping that the paint, the new furniture, the art will all place it together.

So I wanted to share what the place looks like currently. With our vision we are hoping it's going to look gorgeous. The space so I can get a nice backdrop making do some shoots, the office/guest room so I can work on my jewelry & blog. With the money we are investing, how broke we are going to be, we are hoping this will all be worth it.

Using the Photosynth app I pieced together pictures of my room in the current state. There are things in here that won't be after we're done. When we got the cable & internet yesterday we set things up & the only room where you can sit is my room.

You can see I moved a bit when I was turning in a circle to use it, but it looks so cool when you're looking from the phone. The photo is going around the room how you take pictures of it. Here you just see it in how I took it & pieced it together.

Well as you can see: the bed color, the items that we have laying around, the door between my room & Steff's, the door to go in the hallway. The curtain we purchased Sunday, we moved in Saturday. The color of the room Jazz & I chose. Steff has a nice light hot coco color. We then used those two colors throughout the entire apartment. The fresh paint & new rug gave these rooms the life we needed. & the natural light is amazinnnng!

Anywaysssss....besides my excitement lol! I hope everyone has been doing good. Trust me I've been reading up on your blogs when I get the chance.

Tomorrow I will be getting questions together for the features. :)

If you haven't been following me on Twitter you should. I couldn't contain the excitement so I shared it there & posted a few photos.

Tuesday.

Another week has gone by & things have been completely hectic. As I've stated in my previous post there are things that I will be sharing soon. I will share them in photos!

Also, next Sunday expect to read up on a challenge/give away that I thought of having. It should be very exciting. I'm ready to see what you all come up with. :)

How are all of your resolutions coming along? I honestly did make any but what I already have been wanting to do. So I will continue with my growth & progress.

Remember no matter what happens, what we experience helps us build. Being weak is a strength because you can not be strong without knowing what weakness is.

3rd Sunday Of The Year.

Can you believe we are already into the third Sunday of the year!? To think that the holidays have already passed, the weather is actually getting to winter weather (at least here in NY/NJ) & you're slowly getting used to using 2012.

I am trying to get up with my blog like I said I would. I have been slacking though on my "Try List" only because things are slightly hectic at the moment. There will be more news to share in regards to it, but hopefully by February I will have everything ready. Besides one things I will share soon, the features I am trying to organize on my blog, the earrings I am going to create again, the list I am trying to follow, & my regular day to day things - it's seriously slightly hectic. lol.

Although I want to create another "Try List" for this week, I am going to continue with last week's. I want to try & complete things to the best of my ability & not 'half ass'. So hopefully the upcoming Sunday I can share other things that I have completed from that list.

I did start using my camera a bit more. If you follow my Tumblr you will see some of the random pictures I've taken. If you follow me on Twitter you will see more of a day to day with my Instagram posts. Either way, I have been trying to see the world in a different eye, not the bland views that many others see. I want to create an image from what people see normally, into my vision of beauty.

This week I picked the top pictures I believe I took:

Natural red colors. No edits on this photo.

The brush in Union Square, NYC. The cold chill that day.

Warped mind set. Messing with the camera.

Steffy's hair just slowing while using my 'fisheye' lens.

I know they're all a bit random, but it's random things that sometimes are intriguing.

Hopefully you all had a wonderful weekend. Let's see what I can get into this upcoming week. :)

Blurred Red Stripe

Blurred Red Stripe a photo by Ahlexandria on Flickr.

I have been taking photos that I've taken & trying to mess with them a bit. This one doesn't seem like I may have done a lot but I did. Besides that fact that it was already blurry I added more tone to it.

Doing things like this is a project for myself for the year. Just pick my camera up, take shots of whatever/whomever & either posting them or messing with them. It kind of makes it exciting to take photos because you never know what you can end up putting together.

I have to thank Steffy for being such a good sport. Now with the new tripod it seems like I will be able to do still shoots & even self shoots.

What camera do you use? What do you like taking pictures of? & what is your favorite thing about seeing a photo?
