School is KOOL

Said by no one ever. I've been dying in school all day after a wonderful weekend. I want to have a few drinks and try hard to not to think about my ridiculous professors. My head is spinning after a long day of writing and studying. I feel that all I want to do is stay home and watch all the updates from Fashion Week.  That would be so sastifying but not as much as attending it.

Mostly last month, I spent a lot of time browsing my favorite stores. I'm always excited for fall to come. I feel like I could wear anything during fall.  Yet, another time of of the year to refresh the closet with warm knits and high boots.  Time to refresh the make up that I've neglected to wear most of during the summer. It's such a relieve to not worry about it melting off due to the high temps.

One of my true essentials is a good mascara. Even if I'm running late, I always put on mascara and foundation. I need full coverage to cover some mild acne and secondly mascara to feel more awake.

This weekend made a pit stop at Ulta. Love the new Maybelline Mega Plush Brush mascara. I have to include the L'Oreal Colour Riche lipstick, in 172 Blushing Sequin. Lastly I'm obsessed with contouring, so my friend recommended this duo compact from ELF. The colors are quite pigmented and go on so smoothly. I think the bronzer is a great match for anyone with olive skin, like me.

Sadly less than stellar pictures. I need a camera recommendation ASAP!

Have a freaking awesome week I'm off to celebrate this middle of the weekday. Also, I just realize my birthday is this month!

Camera Woes

As of lately my camera seems to be suffering from shutter lag.

I just when I think it's taken a picture, than I realized it has not.

I typically have to press the button 3 times in order to get a response.

I've had this since 2007. I think now is a good time to upgrade.

I've got some great news!

I recieve this semester a small boost of money from my scholarship. I've got some leftover after buying books, so I've decided to put that money into a better camera.

I've been really into getting a DSLR but I think outside of blog pictures and the occasional social event, it would be silly of me to buy one.

So as usual, I'm unable to decide on the camera I want.

Since August, I've looked the Canon G11.

It's small, and many say it gives DSLR quality without the extra weight and lens.

But for the same price (on Amazon), I could buy the Canon Rebel XS.

I've never had any experience with a DSLR but this one seems easy to learn and probably go farther in the long run.

My dear readers, what camera would chose?

Or do think I'm being biased and should buy a different camera?

Thanks so much for any advice.
