    Tied up in Knots

    Let me tell you a story. This story involves a girl, a shirt, and a problematic situation involving buttons. You see, this girl loves to wear pretty button-up shirts tied up, and thinks they look swell. But the fact is, those button-up shirts dislike staying buttoned, and as life would have it the girl’s shirt decides that outfit-picture taking time is the perfect time to unbutton, and thus she doesn’t notice that half her outfit pictures were taking with a scandalously wide gape on her upper half. And the girl has to go re-take her outfit pictures. Of course, this situation is nowhere near as horrible as the time said girl’s shirt…

    Summer Wishes

    Under the light of full disclosure, I only wore these sandal wedges for half the day. See, when we left our house, it was sunny and windless, and while not necessarily warm, at least it wasn’t cold. But then, of course, I had the brilliant idea to take photos downtown by the water where it’s naturally colder and windier, and basically… froze my toes off. After we were done, I immediately changed into a nice warm coat and some comfy flats! Ah, the things we do for outfit pictures! My lovely husband endured the cold with me, thank goodness. I’m getting used to taking pictures on my own, but there’s definitely…

    Valentine’s Day Lookbook: Vintage

    This is the first photoshoot I have ever done by myself in a semi-public place. It was on a country road (I live in the country… ish…) in front of the doors of a community building, so people were driving by every once in a while (staring), and I drove by three times before I convinced myself I was brave enough to stop and take pictures there. But I did. I set up the camera, got the focus in place, and started snapping. Quite a few people slowed down as they drove by, and one lady, who lived on the driveway near this building, stared at me the entire time…

    Valentine’s Day Lookbook: Modern

    For the month of February, I am going to overload you all with Valentine’s-day inspired posts. Hopefully everything from outfits to makeup ideas to some healthier (but still sweet) desserts to a DIY and a giveaway. However, it might be hard because a) I have no internet at home yet, and b) I kind of don’t have a laptop any more either. Right now, I’m at my mom’s house stealing her lappy and her internets. Still, I will try! I’m determined to get back into the blogging game no matter what it takes. I miss blogging. For the first look, merely because it’s the only one I’ve photographed, I’ve got…

    Things I Want: Red and White

    Red Dress/Owl Sweater/Lip Balm/Teacup/Gloves/Heels/Whale Case/Red Skirt /Cream Dress/Bow Heels/Rose Earrings/Heart Spoon/Bow Sweater/Owl Dress I think I have finally been  bit by the Modcloth bug. Since purchasing my very first Modcloth Items — these tights, for my wedding, and these shoes… because I needed them…– I have been unable to leave the site alone, and I’ve been drooling over SO many items lately. I think my Modcloth Wishlists might become a weekly thing. I bought the Mariachi Knows Best dress for my wedding rehearsal, because I’m definitely one of those people who will dress up for ANY occasion. Plus, it is the perfect dress for holidays– Christmas and Valentine’s day, especially–…
