flowers and lace.

oh the trials and tribulations of trying to post a video.
i'm hoping i'm not that technologically challenged...maybe i just don't have the right tools? for one, i don't have a you tube [or similar] account. and two, i don't have an actual
video camera. i'm using an ipad (MOV files)
if that makes any difference.
so, how do you vloggers do it?
what device do you use to take videos? what programs do you recommend for editing and uploading? any helpful tips?

my closet is pretty dim (ok, i'm too lazy to change that flickering bulb). when i pull out this blazer all i see is a black blazer, and i usually put it back. it wasn't until i looked at the photos that i realized it had some pretty details, especially in the back.

(lace blazer, thrifted; top, h&m; shoes, nine west)

[oomph.] is now on facebook.

I love the blazer! Is there a reason you don't have or don't want a YouTube account. I don't do vlogs, but it makes uploading my slide shows infinitely easier. Can't help with the iPad issues.

Oh god I have a hard time with getting things (even simpler than videos sometimes) to work online or on my blog! Best of luck!

I've never seen a lace vest until now! But for the videos, before I would use a standard digital camera and use windows movie maker. It's quick and simple to get the hang of!

Oooooh! Fix that bulb girl so you can find more buried treasures! Love this blazer!

helloadastra said...

your blazer details on your blazer is so pretty! Haha or if you don't fix ur light bulb, bring a flash light into your closet cus it seems like you probably have many treasures u need to rediscover! XD I look forward to your youtube account/videos - I don't record things, so I don't know anything bout the techy stuff good luck! :)

great contrast of textures and prints!

I've used my DSLR to take videos. It really helps to have a friend or at least a tripod to help!

Wow. This blazer has a lot of personality. Love it.

I am very reluctant to post videos. I look pretty funny on the tube.

That blazer is stunning & I'm loving the floral too.

I have a you tube account, it's really easy to set up & easy to use. I'm terrible with technology & even I manage so I'm sure you'll be just fine xo

you look very chic and super cool with this outfit!

I love bold florals like this! Me, it's probably not the technology but being in front of the camera!

I like to watch vlogs to hear how bloggers speak and watch them move. It makes them seem more real.

I, on the other hand, once did a video of myself that I thought went well until I watched it. Awful! I buried it at the bottom of the sea.

Okay here is all I know about vlogging and vloggers. I'm quite obsessed and wished that I had the balls to do it.

I noticed all these "famous" vloggers, like CTxFC, Daily Grace, etc are using the Canon ELPH 300H. At the time I bought mines it was $300, but I heard Cat Toth (who vlogs with it as well) spent only $135. It's full 1080p HD quality in a nice small camera. I've uploaded videos from my Canon to my Macbook pro, but I bet it would work for PC as well. For editing, I use either iMovie or Final Cut Pro. Oh, I hope this helped. If you have any questions, you know how to contact me (via twitter or instagram @jenkakio // jen808)

On to your fabulous outfit. I agree with everyone and I love the mix of patterns and textures. I love the lace and floral. Bold, but yet feminine.

I love this blazer! So pretty.
We did a video for Jose Eber hair and I used my dig camera to record and then edited using the windows movie maker that comes standard with the software.
You can see it on the blog or on youtube.
