I love... Camera Apps!

Over the last few months I've had a number of people ask about my photos and what I use to edit them. For the majority of my photos taken with my camera, I use Photoshop. However, I also take advantage of my nifty iphone to take some great shots too! I thought I'd create a list of my camera apps that I find most useful. 

There are tons to choose from, but I've chosen a few of my favorites to share with you. I have an entire page on my iphone devoted just to my cameras. I have about 20. eee! 

<< Instagram >>

This one is great because it gives you multiple ways to edit your photo AND you can share them on other social networking sites. I also love that it's kind of like Twitter, in that you can follow other peoples photos.

<< Hipstamatic >>

This app is fun because it deals with primarily a lomo look. you can buy several different films, lenses and other effects to change the look of each photo.

<< Quadcamera >>

I like this one because it catches four different photos. I love the look of the photos and the fact that you can change the time frame in which each photo is taken.

<< Lo-Mob >>

This app is extra fun because there are about 40 different filters. They're all completely different and real fun to play with^_^

<< Picture Show >>

This app is a lot of fun because not only does it offer filters, you can also change the style, add text, share, as well as other neat stuff.

<< Toy Camera >> 

This app has some fun effects that can vary every time you take a photo; so it's like a surprise every time!

<< Shake it Photo >>

I like this app because it's like an old polaroid camera. Once you take the photo, you can shake the camera to help it develop. I like how rich the colors in the photo turn out.

Those are a few of my faves, but I also like: old camera, retro camera, diptik, molopix and tilt shift. Hope you find this handy in case you're looking for some new camera apps. Let me know which you end up liking the most OR if you have one I didn't mention! ^_^

I Love... Vera

It's true I do, but then again, who doesn't?? Vera Wang is a creative genius and her dresses are more art than wardrobe. Not to mention her new 2012 line is uuuhmaaziing! Seriously, take a look for yourself...

 I love the belted look. It's dramatic, yet understated^_^ Sweet and simple just the way I like it.

I know i've always wanted a white fairytale wedding dress, but gosh these dresses cause me to think twice. SO pretty!!

Whoa my goodness!! I love love love love this dress. It is perfection! It's my dream come true dress. Miss Wang, you have done it again!

I Love... Pugs

I love love love pugs!! They are oh so cute and I would simply love to have one of my very own! These lovely photos below only make me want one all the more. The picture above was taken at a local pet shop. I go there from time to time to hold puppies... cause that's not weird at all, right??

Really, I would be happy to have any dog, but a pug would just make me so much happier! What kind of dog do you want/have??

I love... Horses

Today I got to go over to my voice teacher's home for a small get together. And after a delicious dinner and a few laughs,  I got to ride her horse!! I haven't ridden a horse since I was a kid and it was pretty amazing! I think they are such beautiful animals and we got along well^_^

I must admit I was pretty nervous at first, but once I got the hang of it I decided that I loved riding!! I want to do it again, and soon hopefully! Do you like horses? I couldn't get over how pretty they were.

I Love... Modcloth

I love Modcloth! It has so so many pretty things and I could literally spend hours just oogling at it all! Here are a few of my most favorite things....

The pretty pretty pretty dresses...

Oh my heavens! Those last two have my heart... those ruffles with that chiffon and pretty pale colors.. I die.

The way too cute shoes...

I love love the different play on the Oxford style! I still need my own pair, but I'm waiting for the perfect ones^_^

And all the lovely things for the home...

I love love little things and small details that make a house {or a room} feel more like a home. I think that flower tupperware is pretty special. Did I mention I'm moving into an apartment in September?? Well I am, and I can't wait to buy pretty things to make it feel like a home!

I Love... Spring!

I looooove Spring for many many many reasons, but here are a few....

1. I really love the flowers that Spring brings. They smell so fresh and they make everything look so much prettier^_^

2. Kittens, chicks and lambs?? Well, they remind me of Easter time and that takes place during Spring. But mostly I just love them^_^

3. I like the pretty colors I get to paint my nails when it's Spring. I feel much more inspired to paint them with pretty colors and patterns!

4. I reeeeally like Spring colors! The pale hues are just my favorite!!

5. I have a passion for fashion and Spring time means new styles, trends and of course pretty pretty dresses!!

Those are just  a few of mine... What are some of your reasons for loving Spring?? OH and for some reason Spring makes me so so inspired! All I want to do is make pretty things. So, I'm spending all day tomorrow working on the Spring Pie N' the Sky line, and let me tell you; it's going to be just lovely! I have quite a few pieces, and I know I promised it would be posted by this week, but I felt like I was robbing you by only putting a few pieces. I reeeeally want to to offer a full collection {cause you deserve it} so I will post it verrry soon, after I work extra hard tomorrow! Have a lovely weekend!!
