fluorescent lights.

thanks to jan, i realized that my camera's white balance was set to fluorescent lights. i did notice a strange icon on the screen, but didn't have time to dig up the manual until now. i'm hoping that was the reason for the bluish tinge i was getting on my photos. so, i have a week's worth of photos to sort thru...maybe some will be salvageable. my apologies for the inconsistent posts this week. for real-time updates, you can catch me mini-blogging on instagram @rockoomph.

i am loving this Covergirl LipPerfection Lipcolor. i have super dry lips that make it difficult to wear any lipstick, but my lips haven't peeled at all today. plus, i've had it on since 8am this morning and haven't had to re-apply at all...
even after lunch and two cups of coffee.
and some edible easter grass.
and some chocolates.

i'm off to color some eggs, hide some eggs, eat some eggs...
have a hoppy easter!

everyday, i've been having some combo
of these trader joe's chocolates...
pareils, cherries, acai berries, and mints.
(top, old navy; skirt, eight sixty (similar)(similar);
shoes, victoria's secret (similar))

what are your plans for the weekend?
any easter traditions?

I have incredibly dry lips too! I'll keep an eye out for this lipstick. How do you tuck your shirt in with no lines in the skirt?

Cute outfit. Original stripes and leopard blend. So does that "reserved parking violators towed" sign, have any thing to do with the trunk shot? tee hee

oomph. said...

they felt great, too!

smugnificent said...

I really like this outfit and most of all as I 've said before your accessorizing skills.

oomph. said...

I make the back flat and put the gatherings on the side or towards the front, then tucked it into spanx!! It helped that this shirt was thin, though!

oomph. said...

aww, how nice!! glad you enjoyed!

Pretty pastel colors in this outfit are perfect for Easter! Love!

Meri said...

I'm glad you got the camera situation figured out! Once I didn't realize I left the ISO adjusted way high and had an afternoon of horribly gritty photos.. ugh.

Chicago Chic said...

Omg you look absolutely stunning! And I have the SAME problem with my lips...it's gotta be the most frustrating thing in the world. Usually my lipstick is coming off shortly after my blog photoshoots for that very same reason! I will most definitely be checking out this lipstick, and I LOVE the color. Adore this shirt too!!! The entire outfit is beautiful.

love the lipstick! wish I could pull this color off!

Bravoe Runway said...

I think the bluish tint is kind of awesome! But I know the feeling, if the pix isn't really want you want then you want to re-take the picture. The skirt looks great, hope you and the kids had a great easter.

SpryOnTheWall said...

Love the mix of the leopard shoes with this outfit! Gorgeous!

SpryOnTheWall said...

oomph. said...

oomph. said...

the lipsticks are really good so far...no lip peeling! the actual colors are a bit off from the case...thought this one was purple, but is really bright pink!
