Hollywood Photo Finish



Doing a special post today to promote Hollywood Photo Finish that professionally touches up your photos to create a perfect professional photo.

The problem is that we don't always look our best in photos, and hiring a professional photographer is expensive. Hollywood Photo Finish is a fast and cheap resource to get fabulous pictures of yourself that last a lifetime! 
Because it is worth capturing those moments that you look and feel amazing!


Jeff works with you to understand your problem areas and what you would like to fix or smooth out in your photos. Mine is my chin and neck area. As you can see he created a bit more definition around that area for me and smoothed out the lines as well as giving me porcelain smooth skin. Now if only he could do that in real life right?

He only charges $20 per person within a photo.

With the photo below he ran an effect to give it a vintage look, common in magazines and advertisements!

I meant what I said and I said what I meant

 This was my outfit today volunteering at my son's class for their big Dr. Seuss Day!
The inspiration was from Nov 2011 issue of Lucky magazine:
 I love the mix of a blazer jacket and converses. Who says you can't make sneakers chic? Especially if your sneakers are converses!
 I desperately tried to find my tank that was the same color as the top but couldn't find it this morning. Drove me crazy cause it would have been perfect.

TODAY:
My son's school had a super fun Dr. Seuss day between the 4 kindergarten classes. I volunteered to run the station in his class. They had a super fun day but I am afraid I caught the cold germs all the kids seemed to be carrying so now I am coming down with something! :(




 My favorite quotes among the ones kids were picking to glue to their hats....

Kids art work from previous week...

Inspiration from Sept 2012 issue of In Style Magazine:




 Not sure if I like those two grey tops layered together. Again things I notice when I download/upload the photos which is end of the day! :)

SATURDAY:
It was another insane day. Started the morning with an hour of weight lifting since we had skipped Friday night. Then rushed out the door to meet up with the family for a birthday brunch which was a lot of fun. I was already sore from sitting right after working out.
My sister and I decided to hit a mall that is further and indoors for something different and the best perk was the H&M there has a kids section. Shopped for great outfits for the kids. Then went to Nordstrom's to shop for a french cuffed shirt for my son to wear at her wedding and shoes for both of them.
He is going to look so cute in the coolest dress shirt with slacks and vest and a bow tie and bright blue converses!
Forgot how nice it is to shop at department stores where they do everything for you and you feel so pampered. No wonder people who get used to that can't step into a TJ Maxx.

As soon as we got home and got the kids to bed did another hour of kickboxing. I was wiped out to say the least....

SUNDAY was not easier. Got up early to take the kids to Turkish school than my friend came over for a photo shoot which I will start my 'who is wearing kika?' segments next Monday. As she was leaving my other friend came with the kids so we can leave the dads on a playdate while her and I went to my other friend's house to watch the red carpet and the Oscar's. I had this great idea to wear something funky but I was so wiped out that I just went with what I had on which I had not even photographed. Oh well....

Got to love his laugh!

On the train in the mall. The only time we pretty much sat down!
