Daily Wear...

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope you all had a fun and restful weekend!

So... this post is a realistic look at my personal day-to-day style.  I figured it was about time I set the record straight, since I've
received a lot of comments about my apparent "girliness."  And while
there is absolutely nothing wrong with being girly... people who know
me in my day-to-day life would never label me as such.

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but I'm a pretty laid-back, no frills sort of girl.  Yes, I went to school for fashion design, but my daily look generally consists of a pair of jeans, a cotton tank or tee, a unique piece of jewelry (generally handmade or vintage - if I'm feeling spiffy), a cute but functional bag, and flats, flip-flops or similarly effortless footwear.  Are you all shocked?!  I mean realistically, there's not much reason to dress to the nines when you spend the majority of your day in front of a computer, right!

So... while we're airing the closet out... why don't you leave a comment below and tell me what you wear on a daily basis.  Do you have any fashion crutches?  Are you a girly-girl, laid back Boheme, sophisticated fashion maven, vintage loving fashionista, etc.?  I wanna know!

Making a List

Here's what I'll be doing this weekend... How about you?

Web Help: Rounded Corners on Photos

We've all seen photos with suave rounded corners... and when you've seen them, if you're anything like me you thought: "That looks amazing... how on earth did they do that... I bet it's probably too complicated to be worth it... but gosh that is just too cool!"

Sadly this post is not a tutorial on how to achieve rounded corners through a series of (likely) complicated maneuvers in Photoshop.  It is however a rave review of EZ Rounded Corners... a site that does just what it's name implies: Easy Rounded Corners on your photos... for FREE!  Simply upload your image.  Select a background color (the portion where the corners used to be)... and that's it!  Is that fabulous or what!!!

Now... if any of you Photoshop pros want to drop me an email detailing the old-school method... I'd love that too!  I try to learn something new every day! xox Ez

UPDATE:  So many of you wrote in with the old-school methods of creating rounded corners... thank you guys so much!  I love all of the suggestions, but the most easy for me to follow (I'm a visual sort of gal) was the YouTube tutorial found here.  Thank you to Emily Abigail for the helpful link!  So... now that we know how... let's see those jazzed up photos!  Share a link to your pic(s) in the comments section below... I'd love to see 'em!

Charlie Bit Me!

Here in the States we have a bit of an obsession with the British accent... I can safely assume that the Brit's have no such fascination with ours.  Do any of you lovely British readers want to confirm this?!

In any case... this video and then the spoof made from it just crack me up to no end... half of what makes the original so cute is Charlie's accent (see I'm a sucker too).  If you've already seen it (and you probably have), please forgive me.

Enjoy the original:
