Now that it's 75 degrees out

So it snowed like WOAH here. Ya know, last month. It was a Magical day. Really! John and I went and tromped around for an hour or so, exploring sections of the local greenway neither one of us had seen. We played in the snow, and he photographed everything that moved (including me). It really is super nice to have a photographer. Despite the endless fun he's made of this blog and fashion photography, he seemed to rather enjoy himself. My hope is that more opportunities arise for us to shoot together.We found this cool old phone box. Had to investigate.

I'm a grown up. Seriously.

Not so mellow

I find my self SO inspired by this JCrew shoe! I'm madly in love with that yellow with greys! There is a new necklace in progress utilizing the amazingness that is this combo. I also foresee outfit photos. I cant wait to share!

Miss Merry Mack

Every so often I will do just a bit of modeling work for a friend (and fellow crafter). She owns/runs/designs Verabelle, a vintage clothing revamp shop. "Each article of clothing from Verabelle is a little piece of artwork, original and one-of-a-kind. It's clothing that's just as unique as you are!" Her designs are so cute, and they easily lend themselves to my style, so it's quite fun to play dress up in her latest and greatest.Verabelle clothing is frequently adorned with Amanda's sweet animal artwork. This is Mack the mallard. I think he's just ducky. (lol. I quack myself up.)

This is Mack's Take A Bow-tie Sweater. The little bows just killed me. I simply adore bows, and I've been on a major grey kick as of late. So this brings me to my problem with doing these shoots... not taking the piece I'm modeling home with me!

Top: Verabelle Take A Bow-tie sweater
Dress: (worn as a skirt) Target

All photos in this shoot are taken by Amanda. Seriously you guys, go check her out!

GO! Now!

Jayna Lee

This is my friend Jana. She's an acrobat. Yes. For real. It's her day job. I just felt the need to take a moment and point you attention in her amazing direction.

She does quite a bit more than just aerial silks but she's been hooked on them lately, and I thought the ones in the snow were just so beautiful! You can see many more performances (including her appearance on Ellen and America's Got Talent) HERE

Check her out Ladies and Gents!

(p.s. I really want her tights.)

Grey Skies Blue Skirt

Well here it is in action. The Clever Nettle skirt I received in the summer, and wrote about the other day. I finally got my act together and finished this post. I also went back and added a bit to the last one, as i just felt it wasn't quite as good as it could have been.

Top- Forever 21
Belt- Thrifted Ralph Lauren
Skirt - Clever Nettle
Tights- Target
Shoes Urban Outfitters
Necklace- Corvidae
Hat and Gloves - SoCo Antiques

Lol! I'm losing my hat!

Check out how beautiful the detail is on these gloves! I'm actually going to need to do just a touch of repair work on them as their age is showing a little, but these are old girls and are frankly in tremendous shape!

The netting is in perfect shape on this sweet little hat. I LOVE the pom poms. this is another of those things that i have always adored that is currently experiencing an online trend. A lot of the other (more well known) blogger ladies have taken to adorning themselves in cute little pom poms. I'm loving it.
This shoot was kinda bittersweet. I was glad to finally get some photo's of the Clever Nettle skirt, but one of my favorite places (to shoot, shop, and be) will soon be gone. Southern Comforts Antiques will be closing their physical doors on the 31 of January. It breaks my heart. It's been a crazy ride for them, and they just can't stay together. I'm planning on helping Wendy with learning ETSY so they won't disappear altogether, but it won't be quite the same. I'll keep you all posted. The good news is more people will have access to their amazing goodies! They will be donating to a special blog giveaway soon(probably mid-end of February, so keep checking back.
Luv,
