Style Imitating Art: Bollinger Mill Covered Bridge
INSPIRATION ART WORK Bollinger Mill Covered Bridge by Daenel Vaughn-Tucker THE CURATOR This week’s inspiration piece was curated by me. I took this photo when we lived in Missouri. I used to go to the Bollinger Mill to take pictures, be alone, or just think. It was such a romantic place. I loved seeing the names and dates carved on the interior wall of the bridge. I always wondered about the people… I see so many possibilities in this image: teals, blues, browns, blacks, and even yellows and reds. And then there are the textures. What do you think you’ll wear? I can’t wait to see! MY LOOK Can you…

Coffee and Pie Chat: Maple Orange Walnut Pie Recipe
This post contains affiliate links A few weeks ago, I was scrolling Instagram when a picture of the most delicious looking pie jumped out at me. Like I started drooling on my phone. The more I looked at this pie, the more I wanted a slice. Well, that’s not possible considering Kristin {from Chicken Librarian and I don’t live anywhere near each other, but I thought of another possibility… Why don’t I learn to bake my own pies? So I contacted Kristin and asked her if she’d like to join me on a pie baking venture and – guess what? She was game. cue the drooling crowds Y’all, she was still on…

Style Imitating Art Inspiration: Two Acrobats with a Dog by Pablo Picasso
Hi, this is just a short post to introduce next week’s Style Imitating Art inspiration piece. INSPIRATION ART WORK Two Acrobats with a Dog by Pablo Picasso {The image is from the WikiArts domain collection} This painting was chosen by Salazar because “…of the blue tones (even though it’s actually from Picasso’s Rose Period) and the dog (of course), and the harlequin pattern is also an interesting detail.” Hmmmm, this one is gonna be a tough one for me. I don’t think I own anything any of those shades… You can read more about the painting here. On a related note, this is the second Rose Period painting in the Style…

Week 7: Love Nikon D7500 | 55mm | f/5.6 | 1/125 | ISO 220 Edited with Picmonkey 2018 saw the introduction of a new 52 week photography project, which has me totally excited.

Shoot the Moon {A Tutorial}
You guys, this is my first photography tutorial! cheer I’m not by any stretch of the imagination a professional, but I have been asked to share how I achieve some of my shots, so I thought why not? If I can share what I know to help someone else have fun then yay! I’ll be honest, I’ve learned a lot from following people on Instagram, watching YouTube, and reading the camera manual. I cannot stress enough that you really need to know how your camera works in order to make the best images. After you learn what does what, take your camera off Auto and learn to find the light.…

Ageless Style Linkup: I Saw It On TV
THE AGELESS STYLE LINKUP Hi, welcome to the Ageless Style Linkup. The linkup runs the first Tuesday of each month and features 10 women over the age of 40 styling an outfit based on one theme, and, because we’re all so different, each theme interpretation is different. Each month, one of the co-hosts invites a guest co-host to join us for the linkup. It was my turn to pick the theme and the co-host this month. I chose “I Saw It On TV” because I’m probably the most TV obsessed librarian you’ll ever meet. The thing is, I don’t just watch for the entertainment value, I watch for inspiration {be it clothes,…
