It was the perfect day to wear a colorful maxi dress and get some frozen yogurt from Yogurt Land.
This dress received a lot of compliments, and I think it has to be because of how dramatic it is. This is my first maxi dress I purchased last month, and I found it at a Goodwill, so I didn’t spend too much to try out the trend. I honestly believed it would not flatter me because I am so short (5′ 2″), but I am so glad to be proven wrong! I paired it with a denim jacket (also courtesy of Goodwill) and my seashell belt from Crossroads Trading Co.
Thrift stores can be a hit or miss. Some days I find really great stuff (as seen here) and other times I find nothing I like. I cannot wait to see what other stuff I will find to post here soon.

New Camera

Posted on by Brandy Saldana

I had not been to the flea market with my family since I was 4, and I was really happy despite the heat. We went to the flea market located in San Jose, and after walking around I realized I was missing a wide sun hat, shorts, and sandals. At one pint I realized wearing a dress might have been more comfortable because of the heat.
We found a couple of neat items when entering in. I found a nifty picnic basket with utensils and room for food in like new condition for $5! Now I just need a day to go on a picnic! We also found a cute black wire wine rack in the shape of a fish. Our total spent was $9. So many goodies to see, but we limited our purchases to just that.
Also, my photo today was taken with my new camera! A Canon T2i DSLR. While this pose is not the best since it was not taken by my usual photographer (Dad instead of my sister), I am excited to be bringing better quality photos to this blog. My other goal would be to go back and retake a few of the photos from previous posts, but we’ll see if I have time.

Brunch in San Francisco

This was part 2 of Mando’s birthday weekend, and I must say it was quite an awesome breakfast! It was an all-you can eat buffet with delicious food and we were eating in their gorgeous hall where breakfast and afternoon tea is served. Next time we come to San Francisco we will need to do a photo shoot in the hotel because the lobby and entrance are simply stunning!
Afterwards we headed to Pier 39 in an effort to compare different cameras. I am on the hunt, and thanks to Mando’s tips, I am more aware of what features I want on a camera and how I can use mine more effectively until I make my purchase. Overall, he had a good time this weekend and to me that is all that matters.
