Sunday Stills Challenge - Tri-Colors

I'm back after missing last week's challenge. It was a crazy busy week and I just couldn't find any grain or water towers. Darn it! First challenge I missed.

This week's challenge was to get three or more colors in a picture. Once again I'm trying to be a bit creative and branch out from my typical flower pictures. This is what I came up with...

These are three of my favorite lotions that I have sitting on a little makeup table I have in my bedroom. I loooove Bath and Body Works lotions!

I may have mentioned before that I'm a bit of a shoe whore. I love shoes. This walk in closet all but sold the house for me when we looked at it. I believe I hugged the shoe rack when I saw it and I have had fun filling it up with shoes. There is one more shelf up that is full of flip flops and a pile of shoe boxes on the other side of the closet that are full of shoes as well. I think I have a problem.

I'm also totally anal about how my closet and shoes are organized. The shoes specifically are arranged by color, heel height and style.

This is my "fun shoe" shelf. They are different colors or styles that don't fit in so much on the other shelves.

These are some of the more colorful and fun shoes from that shelf. There are my hair on cowprint heels that I mentioned here, my red wing tip sling backs, my black and white wing tip sling backs and my brown alligator print sling backs.

I picked these ones because they all have pointy toes so I could do this with them...

So not terribly colorful, but certainly three or more different colors in there.

Looking forward to the next challenge!

Best. Shoes. Ever!

Oh my goodness. Does life get any better then having cow print, hair on, pointy toed, high heeled, super sassy shoes?! Ok, I realize that life does get better then that, but these shoes make me smile. Actually, I may be in love.

I made them their own safe little spot in my closet and visit and pet them regularly. Sadly, I'm not joking. I even wore them around the house with my pajamas the other morning, just because I wanted to walk around in them.

As soon as I saw them (in a shopittome.com email *pure evil*) I knew I had to have them. I did try to talk myself out of them for a few hours, but every time I looked at them I got a big shit eating grin on my face and resistance was futile. I had to order them. They are just soooo great!

No clue what I'll wear them with, but I love them and that's all that matters.

These are the best shoes ever.

My new toy!

I decided that I needed a new camera. Sort of like I needed those Steve Madden platform, peep toe, white patent leather 4" heels. Though I did get them on a clearance rack.

Ok, ok...maybe it was more want then need. But I wanted a new camera in a bad, bad way. I wasn't lucky enough to find the camera on a clearance rack, but I don't regret a penny that I spent on it. I've already gotten hours of entertainment out of it, which is more then I can say for the heels.

This is my new camera... I think it's kind of hot. For a camera. It's the Nikon Coolpix P80. It's got 18x optical zoom. That's going to be fun! It's got lots more dials and buttons and settings to screw with then my last camera. Don't get me wrong, I still love my old camera and it'll probably still get carted every where with me just because it's small and fits conveniently in my purse, but this new camera makes me drool.

There were quite a few reasons that I chose this particular camera. One, after my other camera, I love Nikon's. They are great and this one still felt very familiar to me even with all the cool new options. Two, PW, or rather one of PW's contributors Ivoryhut, inspired me with what can be done with an advanced point and shoot. Hers is a Canon, but this Nikon is basically the equivalent and I'm biased. I also think it's a great way to dip my toes into the great sea of photography without spending too much money or being overwhelmed. I really think playing with this camera will help me learn all about aperture, shutter speeds, exposure and all that other crap and then I can see if I want to spend the dough to step up into an SLR. I think this one should keep me busy for a little while atleast.

I've already taken almost 300 pictures just screwing around. Since the Christmas tree is the most interesting thing in my house at the moment (and I'm still having fun with macro) that is what you get.

And just in case you're curious (and because I need something other then the Christmas tree to take pics of)(and because they are very cute and fun but hell to wear, so I need to show them off some how) here is a pic of the heels...
