The Lucky One

I remember when I first started this blog I would use my point and shoot camera to take all of my photos. It was a constant routine of set the 10 second timer, run in front of the camera, and repeat until I got a few shots I liked...which could sometimes take what seemed like forever. For our anniversary last year, I was pretty much the happiest girl when Chris gave me a DSLR camera. Since then, he takes all of my photos of what I'm wearing (and now I feel like one of the luckiest girls to not have to worry about setting a timer). This whole other creative side of him has come out through photography and I always enjoy going back and looking at the photos after a "shoot". Here are a few favorites from not too long ago.

Just for the record, I think he's pretty amazing.

When You Least Expect It

Blouse: Nasty Gal, Skirt: F21, Heels: Zara

Every now and then I'll ask Chris if he thinks I should wear this or that. Yes, I take fashion advice from my boyfriend...I trust him. He loves me in jeans, and I've never really given him the option to pick between jeans or a skirt until this day. Imagine my shock when he said to go with the skirt. What?!? I knew I loved this guy. 

Hope you all have a happy weekend

Cheesecake Filled Strawberries

I first made these cheesecake filled strawberries for our New Years party and they were such a hit that I made them again over the weekend. Cheesecake has always been a favorite of mine and when I found this reciepe, I knew I had to try it. They were so easy to make and just so happen to be the perfect bite size of deliciousness.

What You Need

1 lb Strawberries

 8 oz (1 package) Cream Cheese

1/2 Cup Powder Sugar

1-2 Graham Crackers

1 tsp Vanilla

How To

1. Rinse Strawberries

2. Cut off the top of the strawberries and carve out the center

3. Mix cream cheese, powder sugar, and vanilla until creamy.

4. Add your mix to a piping bag (or ziploc bag, just snip off a corner) and fill the center of the strawberry.

5. Crush your graham cracker and sprinkle on top.

6. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

enjoy!!
