Camera Creeping like Crazy

I NEED WANT A NEW CAMERA...but the ones I am looking into are so expensive. Okay, okay, when I say, "looking into" I mostly mean typing "good digital SLR camera" into Google and seeing $800-$1,000 options which leads to my next thoughts, "no way compadre!" I know nothing about photography (except that one class I took in high school for my art credit) but I do know that I love taking pictures when I am on vacation, out with friends, and doing outfit posts for my blog...my Nikon Coolpix is just not cutting it. Every time I take a picture it looks pixilated and blurry so I must resort to the help of my friends cameras or use Mac Photobooth (which is decent but not the quality I am looking for). You see, I am a perfectionist, I need everything to be just so, and although I am learning to roll with the punches of things not being "perfect," I think having pride in the pictures I blog and post about is important. Therefore I need your help! What kind of cameras do you use? Where did you get them? Is eBay even a place to consider looking? I would ideally like something at the lower end of the camera-price-range...oh and easy to use because I'm a novice-beginner-so-make-my-life-easy-please-help-me-kind-of-girl!
Last night I met up with some friends at the bar. It's always nice to catch up over some red sangria...then white sangria...then tequila shots? Maybe I should cool it? It's my last semester though and classes didn't start yet, I think this makes it okay. Last night I wore:

Blazer: Dalia Collection (with leather wrap belt), Leggings: clearance at Marshalls (with leg zipper detail on back), Blouse: Mossimo for Target (silk blend), Boots: Sam Edelman, Watch: Michael Kors, Necklaces: gifted from Aunt

Trail-Blazer

I finally get to display my new blazer! I just love blazers...love, love, LOVE! They add instant polish to any outfit, and I just feel so grown-up when I wear one. This blazer that I am wearing is from Target, can you even believe that? I love the pinstripe lining, and the long boyfriend-esque fit. Although it is a little loose it is still fitted in the chest and shoulders so it still looks really feminine.

Blazer: Mossimo by Target, Knit T-shirt: Ecote (from Urban Outfitters), Black Jeggings: Forever 21, Boots: BASS, Necklace: Aqua (from Bloomingdales)

Florida Living

Hey everyone!
I have literally been gone for what seems like forever! I hope every one's holidays have been filled with fun, laughter, presents, food, and fitness (yeah, yeah, I like to work out!).
My outfit posts seem to be going down the drain recently, I don't know why but I have not been dressing up at all since I have come back from school. Next semester is a new story, I have an internship so I will need to dress up a lot, especially during StyleWeek...how cool is that, I can't wait to tell everyone about it!
Anyway, since I have been down in Florida I have bought a few new things...thanks Grandma!

• Calvin Klein black velvet t-shirt
• Converse black jean leggings (okay, "jeggings")
• Mossimo for Target black blazer (on sale for $20!)
• LeSportSac messenger/satchel bag (gifted from Grandma!)
• a bunch of little odds and ends...eye shadow compacts (NP Set), cute little notebook (a la Target)

Question: am I the only fool who gets deliriously happy walking into Target? It is just such a happy place!
Anyway, this is just a post to get me back into the blogging game...I really missed it and I am going to try and do an outfit post later now that I figured out how to get Wifi in a Florida-retirement-community...yay internet access at Grandmas!
Okay, I am off to enjoy the sun and just lay low and relax until Friday...since my flight has been moved from tomorrow until then (THANKS EAST COAST SNOW STORM BLIZZARD CRAZINESS!)

Love.
