This weekend, I kicked it super old school for these photos.

My husband couldn't help me take photos, so I had to dust off my tripod and go back to the days when I used to take my pictures myself. Not my preference, but it did make me appreciate the fact that I have someone who I can depend on to take photos for me.

Originally, I used to take all of my pictures myself on my lunch breaks at my old job. I scouted out a bunch of parks and playgrounds where I felt the embarrassment factor wouldn't be too high, and would take my outfit shots during the day. And back then, I didn't have a tripod. I'd just balance my camera anywhere.

Oh the woes of being a fashion blogger.

And since I'm flying to England this Friday, things have been crazy. I've struggled to keep up with House Of Jeffers as I prepare for my trip. Between packing, after-work commitments, and work... I absolutely need some time away from the desk in every capacity.

But fear not! I've lined up some awesome fashion bloggers who are kind enough to keep House Of Jeffers going while I'm away!

Fall Booties That Kick Ass

A wardrobe without ankle boots isn't worth having. And while a basic black or a neutral brown goes with everything, I love non-conformist ankle booties. One's with a little pep in their step.

Although black is my go-to color for shoes, these season, I'm thinking my shoes should match my personality. I always need a touch of leather somewhere, and I'm all for a bold ankle boot .... Plus, a functional wedge sneaker that not only looks dope, but is killer with a pair of black skinny jeans - Sold.
