Boots Baby (Giveaway #3)

These boots from Steve Madden are ones I have been considering buying since Thanksgiving. Well, when at the Steve Madden store in Soho I finally had a chance to try them on after spotting them online. I loved them even more in person, and especially because I had an in store coupon for 40% off ;) I scored these beauties for around $95 bucks--the original price (and what they still are online) is $160, so I am quite happy with my purchase. Any buy is better when you know you're getting a deal. Of my two new boot purchases you've seen so far, do you like the Steve Madden Bekket or the Classic Doc Martens better?
And today you have a chance to win the Elena wishbone necklace worth $35 that I'm wearing here! This fall, I was all about delicate jewelry. I plan on continuing that into the winter, and with this pretty necklace I'm set! (Not to say I don't like chunky jewelry...my mom got me the prettiest bauble necklace for christmas in my favorite color, purple, that you'll be seeing soon). Enter via the Rafflecopter below!

Also--this entire outfit is new! Every single item I either got for Christmas, received in the mail this week, or bought in NYC! Hurray for newness!
I know this post is already pretty long--but I wanted to update you on the photography end of things! :) These photos are the second set you've seen (yesterday's being the first) that are edited with my new photo software, Lightroom! I AM SO IN LOVE WITH LIGHTROOM YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE IT. It's so fun. So so so fun and it makes pictures look amazing! Also, I've started a 365 project which means I take or edit a picture a day. It's primarily for Facebook and school, but I'm going to add it to the end of each post to keep you all updated on my photography happenings! Here is my first (and second )entry into the 365 project.

New Year, New Boots (Giveaway #2)

Happy New Year! I've loved reading about all of your resolutions and goals for 2013. While I haven't come up with anything specific yet, one thing that's going to rock my 2013 is BOOTS. Yes, I am addicted to boots. While in New York last week, I bought THREE pairs of boots! They were such good prices and all three were pairs of boots I'd seen before and wanted! So this week, I'm featuring "New Year, New Boots" and I have three different looks for you! The first look is with my new Doc Martens, bought on sale at David Z in Soho. I didn't know the patent black Docs ever went on sale, so snagging these for less than $80 was AWESOME! I've had knock off Docs since 7th grade (and yes, I've been wearing the same pair since then), so now that I've got real ones I couldn't be happier!!! Don't they look soooo good, if I do say so myself? Oh, and the giveaway of course. You may remember me featuring a bracelet from ULINX before. Well, here's my second ULINX bracelet and I love it as much as the first one! I got a slightly different style this time, so there are more charms than silver balls on this one. I selected charms that represent me, and you can do the same because you'll be able to design your own bracelet up to the cost of $75 if you are the giveaway winner! Enter the rafflecopter below to have a shot :) a Rafflecopter giveaway

p.s. this is for the IFB PROJECT

WEAR ABOUTS IS ONE!

IT'S OFFICIAL! Wear Abouts is finally 1! I've spent many hours a week updating and working on this blog and I am so glad that the hard work has all paid off. In it's first year, Wear Abouts has moved from WordPress to Blogger, lost 200 google friend connect followers due to a problem with WordPress, and gained 470+ followers back after the switch. Although I haven't been able to visit your blogs as much with school in session, I hope that will change this year and I hope that you'll stay with me as Wear Abouts continues on it's journey!

Here's to another great year!

Happy Birthday, Wear Abouts, and Happy New Year, everyone!

The following are my favorite outfits from 2012. Which is your favorite?
