Closet Confection: The Paper Doll Project

{H&M Blouse, Banana Republic Skirt, Target Belt, Guess Shoes, Forever 21 Clutch}

Getting dressed this morning was waaaayyyy easier than usual. “Why’s that?” you ask. Well, it’s because I took part in The Paper Doll Project, hosted by the lovely Suze of Miss Vinyl Ahoy. Rather than scramble around trying to figure out what to wear before work, I had a fellow fashion blogger act as my own personal stylist for the day and put together an entire outfit based around my beloved polka dot blouse.

THANKS SO MUCH TYESHA!

I think she did a wonderful job capturing my personal style. Be sure to check out Tyesha’s blog at D iary of a Chic Mommy to see the ensemble that I put together for her in return.

Closet Confection: Weekend Warrior

{Urban Outfitter Sweater, Gap Body Tank, Forever 21 Jeans, Boots courtesy of Wanted}

After a long work week, I just wanted to relax and lay about. Unfortunately, I had about a million errands to run. So I threw on a pair of stretchy skinny jeans, a tank top, and a long cardigan that I swear is almost as cozy as a bathrobe (but much more relatable).

CC Recommends: Hipstamatic!

Completely random, but I just wanted to tell you guys about my favorite iPhone app to date: Hipstamatic! The name kinda threw me off (give me 5th Avenue over Williamsburg any day), but I have been playing with this little guy ever since I downloaded it a while back. With little-to-no additional effort, suddenly life seems way more interesting.

For instance…

…the view from an alley after dinner at the local dive spot takes on a totally epic NYC feel

…New York’s finest look less like donut-inhalers and more like those bada$$ cops you see in the movies

…my special guy suddenly looks like a mysterious stranger plotting out his course in life

…and heck, even my quick train ride upstate on the Metro North takes on a romantic feel.

My only qualm with the software is that it takes super looooong for photos to process in-between takes. I also have yet to try out all the different lens/flash options, so these were all mostly taken with the John S lens and Dreampop flash. Since I don’t really know what I’m doing, the results are a little unpredictable, but that’s half the fun. If you’re like me and want the ability to take bangin’ photos without lugging around a huge camera (or doing heavy-duty editing after the fact), then I highly recommend this app.

Do any of you guys use Hipstamatic? Got any other app recommendations I should know about?
