For Christmas I got a brand new camera! I'm really stoked about it and hope that the pictures taken for this blog will be much better in the future! I plan on reading through the entire users manual this weekend so I know what I'm doing. Even while playing around with the camera I've noticed a great improvement over my camera phone, especially in low-light. I cannot wait to learn everything I possibly can about it so I can take superb pictures for you. I'm probably going to need a lot of coaching before I get there, but hopefully you will notice the quality improve soon.

Today's Look

Modcloth is one of those websites I frequently visit, drool over the clothing, and then never buy anything. It isn't because I don't want to, the clothing is gorgeous. The problem is that buying clothes online makes me nervous. I'm always afraid I will purchase something that doesn't fit and then not be able to easily return it. This Christmas I took the plunge, with other people's money of course. I put a bunch of Modcloth on my Christmas list because their free returns policy sounds pretty easy. I got two dresses. One doesn't fit and has to go back, I'll report on that experience, the other fits like an absolute dream. I love it more than words can tell. The Guest of Honor Dress is one of the most flattering dresses I have ever worn and extremely comfortable. I bought the original pattern and then found out that it comes in four other patterns. I now think I need each and every one. In fact, I plan to get a second one once I'm credited for my return.

This dress is thick enough to stay warm in winter. I paired it with thick, skin colored tights and the Baking Date Socks in Anise (also a Christmas present). The dress is comfortable and stretchy. The skirt hits right above my knees and I'm 5'8", so that's a bit of a miracle. I feel like I could eat a huge meal and still look good in this dress, which is a definite plus in my book.

Did you get any Christmas presents from companies you've been dying to try? Tell me about it below!
