This weekend some pretty exciting things happened in The Steele Maiden world. I officially booked my trip to New York in October to attend Lucky FABB (Lucky Magazine’s Fashion and Beauty Blogger annual conference), an event I feel honored to have been invited to and grateful to have the support to make the trip possible. And even more exciting, we added a new baby to our little blog family – the Canon Rebel DSLR. I hadn’t mentioned it, but several weeks back the Nikon point and shoot we had been using up until now broke (perhaps a blessing in disguise) and we’ve been making do with phone pictures while we decided our next step. We’ve been dreaming of a DSLR – and the photo possibilities that come with it – for a long time now and this weekend bit the bullet. While these are big investments, sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith and commit to what you’re passionate about, right? I’m happy to be taking you all along for the ride.
