Carlos the Model

Hello!

This began as a typical OOTD post. I put on an outfit, got out the camera, and began shooting.

I quickly had an audience, a loud and yowly one. He would not give up. Just went on and on.


This is me looking over at him.
He finally plopped himself on one of our footstool/coffee tables and would not move.
So, without further ado, I give you Carlos, my guest model.



 I still managed to shoot my outfit...including the earrings.

 The bracelets,
 The nail polish and the rings. I got this beautiful shade on the weekend. It's called Cherry Sin, and it's the exact shade of ripe shiny cherries. It's probably discontinued since I got it in a clearance bin, but it's Maybelline Salon Expert. The turquoise ring is one my friend bought me while we were shopping for her bridesmaid dress for my wedding. And the two other rings are opals- my birthstone.

 And the shoes. I bought them from a thrift store and researched the original price, since they are marc by marc jacobs. These cute little shoes were in the $200-400 range when they were bought new! I love finding crazy good thrift deals. And, yes, I'm wearing socks with them, only because last time I wore them I was left with huge blisters on my heels!



He's a pretty cute model, wouldn't you say?

He was in love with my new lipstick. It's Maybelline Superstay 16-hour lipstick in Flame. The stuff lives up to its name, but you will need to reapply the balm lots of times. It also smells really good, as Carlos can tell you. The red is just the right shade- not too bright.


This is the kitty version of Blue Steel, trust me.
