OOTDs- OOTD #114

January 9, 2018 by robincharmagne 4 Comments

ootds17-robincharmagne
Hello pretties,
I know Gianne, my talented photographer is going to get me!! But, I am taking the OOTD back to where it started, this white wall in my living room and my non fancy camera. This sweatshirt really reminded me of how far I have come with my OOTDs. From the living room wall, to the back yard, to my first “real” photographer, to shooting with Gianne. What a ride! This OOTD was just me fooling around in the living room, take a peek…

She think she sexy…she is!!!

I posted here about all the elements of photoshoot. It is a lot harder than it looks but so much fun. This sweatshirt was made for fashion bloggers and I just could not pass it up. Of course the glittery letters sealed the deal for me. You can wear this sweatshirt alone or layer with a crisp white shirt. I paired it with distressed boyfriend jeans, a funky necklace in silvertone, small leather backpack, and edgy stud boots.

Shop The Look

My word of the year is increase so look for more fashion related posts. Gianne and I want to scout new and unique locations around The A for more fashion shoots. Seeing the progression from living room to professional photographer is encouraging, growth is good.

What are you looking to increase in 2018?

Architecture – Amsterdam Week – Part 2

May 18, 2017 by robincharmagne 6 Comments

Hello pretties,
Another segment of Amsterdam week featuring beautiful architecture. From my first day in Amsterdam, I started snapping photos of buildings. You will find a fantastic mix of old and new buildings all across the city with unique details. These are a few of the beauties I captured…take a peek…

Call me the nerdy diva because it is so interesting to see the architecture of other cities and hear about the history of the buildings and how they shaped the city’s landscape. An interesting tidbit is a lot of the buildings and homes on the canals don’t have elevators so a hoist is used to move furniture and things into the buildings. Can you imagine seeing fridge or a couch being hoisted up to the top of a building? Pretty clever!

What types of photos do you like to capture while vacationing?

Outfits Of The Day – 75 And Counting!

March 9, 2016 by robincharmagne 14 Comments

sequin-wall-robincharmagne

Hello pretties,
Outfits, outfits, and more outfits! 75 in fact. Celebrating all the tops, tees, jeans, shoes, skirts, dresses, jewelry, handbags, and even shorts featured in 75 fashion posts. I have never been shy when there is a camera around and cute clothes, always loved taking pictures. But fashion posts are a tad different since folks all over the blogosphere can see and critique your photos. That thought can be quite daunting but you can’t let the fear of Negative Nellies keep you from doing something you love and I did not. Let’s celebrate and wear sequins in the day time with our favorite tee, take a peek…

5 Must Haves For A Photoshoot

September 9, 2015 by robincharmagne 16 Comments

photo-shoot-must-haves-on-robincharmagne-blog

Hello pretties,
It’s Wednesday, but I’ve been a bit under the weather so no OOTD today. But, I have had so much fun with the photo-shoots. I was fortunate enough to connect with a really good photographer, Sanniyah Sloan. She has taught me about light and angles and the elements that make a good picture. But as a model, there are some things you need to bring to make the photo-shoot go smoothly.

Must-Haves

1 – A hand-held mirror with magnification is a must have. With the lighting, wind, etc, you will want to check your makeup and hair before the shooting starts.

2 – My skin is like the desert. No matter how much lotion or vaseline I apply before the shoot, by the time I get to the location, my feet especially and arms are dry and ashy. Make sure you have your favorite brands on hand.

3 – The perfect shooting time is early morning, right after sun rise. Even on a clear day, there can be wind, have some bobby pins ready to pin hair back or hold hair in place, unless you are going for that Beyonce wind-blown look.

4 – Drop in some safety pins for a hem that becomes undone, or if a blouse isn’t closing just right or even to hold a necklace in place. These little babies are a life saver.

5 – Props make the photos more captivating, so grab your sunglasses, cell phone, newspaper flowers, food, or any item that adds interest.

These are the staples that I take each week, all tucked in a cute tote. Make sure your shoot goes well and you’re ready for any mishaps with these goodies.

Did I miss anything?

Western Caribbean – Cruise – Let’s Go

August 7, 2015 by robincharmagne 6 Comments

Hello,
Happy Friday! I was supposed to post these on yesterday, but I really had not gone through the pictures and I didn’t take that many pics. Unplugging was at the top of my list, so taking it all in was my priority and only capturing snaps here and there, on and off the ship (pic heavy, sorry for the slow load)!

Chic Happens – OOTD #62

July 1, 2015 by robincharmagne 22 Comments

robincharmagne-wearing-chic-tee
Hi Pretties,
First things first – the No Buy is OVER! Woot-woot, more to come on that challenging yet very rewarding exercise. We are in my favorite month of the year – July, it’s my vacation and birthday month. I’ll describe today’s OOTD as classically chic. As I think back on my 50th year, I am feeling extremely blessed to close to reaching the 51 year mark. But I have to admit, last year I was so happy to have a milestone birthday, but it was daunting thinking I have been on this Earth for 50 dang years and have seen the world evolve from typewriters to smart watches. And, 50 is somewhat odd, you’re not old and you’re not young, in the middle. Still fly enough to be fly and that is what I wanted to convey in this photo shoot, my very first. If you thought 50 was dabomb.com, well 51 will be on “fleek” as they say! HA, can’t believe I used that, take a peek…

February 18, 2014 by robincharmagne 6 Comments

Instagram

Hello,
I’ve been on Instagram for about a year now and I have to say I love it! If you haven’t heard about it or don’t use it, Instagram is a photo-sharing social media tool. Now truth be told, I love following the celebs – they are so regular, except when they post the yacht pics and fancy dinners. But otherwise, they eat, sleep, play, and love just like us regular folks. I get a ton of inspiration from Instagram – I’ll share some of my favorite Instagrammers in a future post. In the meantime, I’m sharing 6 tips and tricks to make your Insta life easy peasy. And hey follow my Prettygrams!

Is Instagram your fave? Who’s your favorite Instagrammer?

Keep it Pretty,
robincharmagne
