The List.

POTW- I'm going to starting posting a picture each week that one of the Strehle kiddos takes. I want to start letting them explore the camera and what interests them. I love watching them stretch themselves artistically already..oh if only I could have figured that out at 14 instead of 34!

10. I've been searching high and low for the perfect camera bag. While I love the cute, snazzy bags that are oh so popular right now, I need FUNCTION. So I came across a photographer from none other than National Geographic that gave a nice little review for the Crumpler Bag.

It's not exactly like this one, but pretty close. I needed something for Kenya that does not look like a camera bag, is compact and will stay close to my body. So far I've rocked it at a pretty big function and two different shoots. Works like a dream, and holds all my most important stuff. The final test will be Kenya:)

9. K..I'm soo loving this image from my BFF Scott..seriously. (k..I know he is not my real BFF)

Let's talk about it..

The color! Everything pops..perfect background, pale skin, dark color dress. Light, just right. perfection.

Sexy, yet subtle. No cleavage, but a little nip, shear but not in a trashy sort of way. Beautiful undergarment! So so important peeps!!

Detail..Hair bows match her jacket..not the dress. Little bow on the vintage suitcase {insert wistful sigh here}.

I'm not sure if this is a designer dress or not, or if she is some fashion mogul that I do not know about, but it is a picture of how just a few details can change a whole outfit. It does not take labels to make someone look beautiful.

8. Speaking of The Sartorialist, Glee just upped its Amber Cool Points by mentioning The Sartorialist on the show a few weeks ago..two of my favorite things all wrapped up in one.

I have been wearing leg warmers on my arms ever since.

7. A little something to chew on.

I finally watched The Social Network this week. Good movie.

The World Is Obsessed With Facebook from Alex Trimpe on Vimeo.

6. And a little something to inspire..like really inspire.

Artists Wanted In Focus : Pete Eckert from Artists Wanted on Vimeo.

5. And a little something to make you laugh..

This is a spam comment I got on my blog this week. Hmmm.

"BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN Why American men should boycott American women / I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don’t know how to cook or clean, don’t want to have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent man would want to get involved with American women? American women are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American women is utterly disgusting, to say the least. This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American women are inferior to foreign women (non-American women), and why American men should boycott American women, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) women. BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN!"

4. SNOW IN FEBRUARY?!?!?!!?! UGH!

3. Miss Elaine is gearing up for BOHO! Are you going? Should you?? YES!!!!

2. I HATE folding and putting away laundry. There I said it. I feel so much better now. Not too long ago I looked at Zach and told him.

"I will never be good at this part of my life, in fact I'm going to stop fighting it, its time for me (and mostly you) to accept this part of me. There will always be clean laundry lying about in our room..ALWAYS."

Yeah that went over well.

1. I'm so in love with my new gold nail polish.

So. In. Love.

Who knew you could draw this much happiness out of one bottle of nail polish?
