farewell, for a while

I'm taking a small break from posting. I'll be back soon with a few surprises to share with you. =]

my dress has roses on it...

Three cheers for my younger brother Isaac who filled in for Eric, who is my usual photographer. I don't know why Eric would rather earn $50 mowing our neighbor's lawn when he could be taking pictures of me....haha. 

orange + pink

I've been wearing jeans a lot lately, so today I decided a skirt would be a good change of pace.

Tonight, I'm watching a Shakespeare play with family and friends. Antony and Cleopatra. I'm really excited because I was super interested in Cleopatra when I was younger. Also, here's a fun fact I found out: today is the anniversary of Cleopatra's death! Apparently, although no one knows when she was born, the exact date of her death is known to be August 12th.

diy manicure blog party

There's a manicure blog party over at Thrifty and Shameless today! Here's what my nails currently look like. Just a fun look...unfortunately, I chipped the polish at work the other day (washing dishes...bleh) And I used up my polish remover last week. Boo.

into the rush

Still working away at self portraits...still figuring the camera out. ;]

Played around with taking pictures using my new camera's timer. Annnnd, you get to see my messy room. Congratulations. ;]

Audrey

I couldn't resist wearing red lipstick with this stripey shirt (given to me by Brenna, who is super awesome). They just seemed to go so well together...

This afternoon, I saw my manager at the grocery store and she told me that I looked like Audrey Hepburn. That made my day. ;]

shades of grey

[shirts:Target; cardigan: Forever21; jeans: thrifted/Mossimo; shoes: gift]

I love the color grey. Do you spell it grey or gray??

her secret garden

Please excuse the odd expression and pose. =p This was the best picture...guess it's just one of those days. Also feel free to ignore the huge bruises on my leg. No idea how they got there, but they're PAINFUL. 

well, I'm back.

My new camera arrived! And it is pretty awesome! 

Now I just have to get used to taking daily outfit photos again. =p
