In the past three days, I have been eating, sleeping, watching world cup, and taking pictures. Oh, and swimming, but that's not important. Not when I have a nikon d5000 and can take wonderful, beautiful pictures!! This camera is seriously power surging my love for photography. It's always been there, but now with the tools to create my vision, it's that much more fun. I'm in love. This camera is totally going to change my blog, too!
What it comes down to is: I'm in love with summer and I'm definitely making up for the loss of my past four summers right now:).
I guess I don't really have a whole lot to say (a first, perhaps??). That's what happens when I blog so frequently, I guess. You all are going to have to live without my lively and always entertaining commentary, I suppose (kidding!). I'll have a lot more to report next week!
Since I got my package from Jasmine of Transient Withdrawl, I've been having a blast creating outfits from what she sent me! I mean, there were only two tops, but I have been able to create so many outfits from just those pieces. The green top I'm wearing was one of them, and so far, I've been matching it to all my patterned bottoms. It just works with everything! You all know me and my love for mixing patterns.
Last weekend, I went with my family to Oregon for a soccer tournament and got to go shopping. Was it worth the 8+ hour car ride with my younger and whinier sister?? Well, yes. Very much so. $9.99 Calvin Klein bra sales are the best. Actually, any Macy's one day sale is amazing. Is it weird that I love Macy's so much?? Being a fashion blogger and being surrounded by fashionistas who have Topshops and Urban Outfitters in their backyard, I always feel funny cruising department stores. But I absolutely LOVE this skirt, and I got it for $6, so I'll just let that little anxiety rest.

I think the sun is hardest to shoot with. It was impossible to get pictures in the sun. I miss my photographer.
I love this print.
Here goes my first try with photography...Bear with me, folks! I'm a beginner!
(my personal favorite)
I kind of have a thing for flowers, can you tell?:)

Anyways, I guess this post doesn't have a whole lot to it. I have a feeling "photography" will become another sector of my blog, which I've realized, seems to be a jumble of fashion, writing, and random nothing. Oh,well.
My next post will more than likely be my giveaway- and it's a big one!
Thank you thank you thank you!!
Love always,
maggie:)

hello there! just ran across your blog and i love your enthusiasm!! I admire how frequently you post and i remember how excited I was to get my nikon too. I would literally just park myself in the backyard and take pcitures of the same flower for about 2 hours. Love your floral skirt btw, so fun!
following you<3
Aww, can't wait for your giveaway! :D
Adore the exposed zipper and bubble hem on that skirt, I'm such a sucker for detail like that.
And WOW. Your photos are beyond amazing. I especially love the doggy ones. (:

You look so summery and happy! I love it! Can't go wrong with floral print ;) And who cares what stores you shop at? There are wonderful pieces to be found everywhere, sometimes I need to remind myself that and go into stores like Kmart and Target. Hehe. Love the photos of your doggie - what's his/her name?
Gorgeous photos! Can't wait to see more of your photography Mags!
Your doggie is cute, and so are you!
I also have an incredible fondness of mixing patterns.
More lovely comments from you.. thank you! What about your trip to Mexico though, surely that was more exotic than Bali??
And your photos.. wow, I'm going to be blown away every time I check your posts. Those flower ones are so beautiful! Are you thinking of going into photography?? You should!
cute outfit!

you are incredible at mixing patterns and your pictures are beautiful! I would love to have a camera like the one you own :)
yay! 30 posts!
I LOVE all of your flower shots! Funny - because I have been trying out photography lately too (but with a piece-of-crap camera), and have been trying to shoot a bunch of flowers, as well! It's so fun, that I'm thinking about taking a photography class.
Thanks for visiting my blog and hope to see you back again soon!!

Your skirt is so cute! Wow, your dog doesnt even look 13. I had a cocker spaniel who was 13 yrs old, but she passed away this last October.. Your doggie looks 8!
Love the mix of prints! Oh I have that skirt except in a shorts version!
I am a BIG Meiko fan - I read somewhere you were too :) How amazing is that song hey? And thanks Mags! I have a photo of them on their own but my camera is so dodgy lately (it's been waterlogged and rice bagged TWICE)... all your new crisp photos are totally inspiring me to get my arse into gear and start saving for my DSLR of choice; Canon 550D :)
Love you!
Your skirt is super cute! And I bet you're having an amazing time with your new camera :) It looks like fun
