The title of this post stems from the fact that most of the pictures in it are candid photos, which is shocking to me! If there’s something worse than me trying to pose for a photo, it’s me not posing for a photo while it’s taken.  I mean, when I try to pose I might look awkward and unnatural, but when I don’t the pictures usually end up being the most unflattering photos ever. However, this time either my very amateur photographer is getting better at capturing me unguarded at just the right time, or the photography Gods decided to have mercy on me and allow for some good candid shots to happen…perhaps both. Whatever it was, all I have to say is yay!

In other news, you are now getting  a first glimpse at one of my many current obsessions: burgundy! Just look at these gorgeous shoes, I just couldn’t resist buying them as soon as I saw them (on clearance thank goodness!).  As you probably already know, it’s the color of the season, and it is everywhere. It has always been one of my favorite autumn colors, so there’s already several burgundy items in my closet, so be prepared to get several doses of this hue in future posts.
