Mango Mayhem: How I do an outfit post

For those of us who don't have boyfriends as photographers (oh how I wish...) we usually have to rely on friend's, family, the timer on our camera's and ourselves. I've used all three as well as a hired photographer. 

Today I thought I'd do something awesome and make a quick video of what all goes into my photo posts. It's definitely not as easy as it looks. I hope you all enjoy the video, it includes some of my makeup tips, how and where I shoot my photos and how it all gets put together.

Outfit

Jacket: H&M

Cami: Forever 21

Skirt and Necklace: Mango, get the skirt HERE!!!!!!!

Wedges: DVF via Nordstroms Rack (one of my favorite boyfriends)

So this is the outfit I wore to the Nathaniel Paul Holiday Collection Event. I posted a few pictures but I wanted an in-depth look. When I saw this skirt at Mango during the

 Mango & Marie Claire Night of Style in NYC 

I almost died. I had to have it and thankfully it was 30% off! I scooped up this necklace as well which I used during the Mango Styling Contest that was judged by Zanna Roberts Rassi, Senior Fashion Editor of

Marie Claire.

I really had a lot of fun putting this video together. I hope it gives you all a little more insight into who I am and also how I tackle the issue of outfit post without a boyfriend or tripod. Haha.

So..quick question...how do you get your outfit post together and/or done????

XOXO

I had an awesome time at the Mango and Marie Claire Night of Style. Yall know that Marie Claire is my favorite magazine. I have recently started looking on the Mango website and bought an awesome pair of cresent moon earrings that I wore to Fashion Night at the W Hotel.

This event had fun music, delicious champagne and amazeball clothes!

I had such a great time tonight. Let me tell you that champagne was delicious and probably had me delirious because I spent waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much money in Mango. Haha. Maybe it was the 30% off of everything that had my mind reeling. I really got 2 amazing buys that I can't wait to share with you. We even got a goodie bag with the lastest Marie Claire. Check out my favorite MC article HERE!!!!

I'm actually looking for a new book to read. Something that is just going to suck me in and not let me sleep at night.

Any of you have any great reading recomendations???

I love suspense!
