My Own Dark Fairytale

 

It's only her and the eyes looking at her in the dark woods. Night is coming, but they don't turn back; they continue on their journey. The leaves crunch beneath her feet and the bark pries at her skin as she lays on the damp log. None of this is actually real because it's all a fantasy she's concocted in her over-imaginative mind. The creatures sulking behind the bushes are figments of her imagination. As are the amazing critters that have become her friends throughout the years.

I just wanted to give a big thank you to Davis Photography for taking these pictures! You can like Davis Photography on facebook HERE.

Vampirish Part I (Giveaway Winner)

 

There's a reason that I called this Vampirish Part I. It's because I took sooooo many pictures that they can't all fit into one post! Plus, this post isn't just about my style today, it's about my BACK TO SCHOOL GIVEAWAY winner! Yes, it ended yesterday and now... it is time to announce who wins the amazing Social Butterfly House dress. So ladies, here it is!



Congrats MC CHAU! All of that dedicated tweeting really paid off! (Trust me, I get a notification every time someone tweets me and I got TONS from you!) I'll shoot you an email tonight and you have three days to respond before an alternate winner is chosen. Congrats again!

 

ABOUT THE LOOK: All of a sudden, fall is here... with fall weather. No more mini skirts and tanks for mwa. I am in college after all and forced to walk everywhere and I hate being cold. Exactly whey I wore this, oh-so-very mysterious skirt/jacket combo. The crimson color combined with the sheer overlaying the skirt from Forever 21 made it perfect from the transition from summer to fall. Plus, the leather jacket  from Plato's Closet provided shelter from the cool wind blowing that day. I have on some pretty cute necklaces too. One that has crosses and another that's full of false pearls and is a peter pan collar. I love it!

 

Stay tuned for Vampirish Part II! (AKA more pics to come!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BEHIND THE SCENES: What can I say. I never stay serious for too long. At all. Ever. Andrea (Photographer and bestie) has to get frustrated, I mess around so much. I laugh, make her laugh, dance around, dance on a tree! Plus, she always manages to capture me hiking up my skirt and trampling around; have you ever tried to walk in heels in the forest while the ground is squishy? It's hard.

Forgotten Photos

By the time your reading this, I'll be in Florida on my mission trip. I'm going down there for Give Kids The World, which is a part of Disney World (Or Land, whichever is in Florida) where we help the terminally ill have an amazing time at Disney World because it's there wish for the Make A Wish Foundation. We're also going to the beach for a day. I really hope I get to swim with some tropical fish or see a coral reef or be able to surf or something! I've never been to the beach so I'm hoping for a good experience. It's on my bucket list to go to Florida and visit a beach so... I hope it's worth being on my bucket list.

Anyway, I was going through some of my pictures the other day and I stumbled across these from an old shoot with Andrea. You can tell these pictures were from a while ago, my hair is still long and brown!

ABOUT THE LOOK:
What is there to say? One of the biggest trends of the moment is floral print so, even though I like to find pieces that are unique and not so trendy, I saw this dress and finally understood why the floral print fad blew up so quickly. What I like about this outfit is how it also combines the sheer part on top. Two trends in one, beautiful when separate, spectacular when together. The sheer adds a sexiness to the romantic side of the dress that the flowers bring out.

Sorry! No behind the scenes pics on this one (yet!). Not enough time for my slooooow moooo internet connection to download the rest of the pics before I leave! (Just a few hours now!) See you all in a week:p

Grandma's Romper

My sister and I are thinking of starting a blog together. It'd be a chain off of this one and be called Caged In Makeup. We are intense makeup junkies, I mean, you name it we got it. I have hot pink, sparkly eyeliner and yellow, shiny mascara and a poop ton more and my sister... well... let's just say she robbed a clown a few years ago, added neon powder and a pound of glitter to whatever she stole and stuck it on her face and somehow still managed to make it look good. We have a passion for makeup like I personally have a passion for fashion and we would love to share it with you! So, be on the look out for the announcement of the blog!

ABOUT THE LOOK: Don't laugh, the romper is my Grandmother's from way back when. It is really big on me so check and see if you can tell where I tied it:P Anyway, back to the look. Every time I come to do a shoot at this playground, I feel like it's suppose to be fun and like I need to let out my inner child! More like I want to than need to. So, to do that, I mixed fun colors, with bright accessories and, but of course, SUGAR! Such simple props such as a lollipop and sour octopus really complete an outfit and a shoot.

BEHIND THE SCENES: Yes, my grandmother's romper was smidgen large on me so I had to use ponytails I had to make it fit... it happens. It was such a fun shoot though, besides the fact I got a little sick from the spinning... and the candy indulgence. It was a fun shoot though; Andrea always makes me laugh somehow and vice versa. The swingset in the background, I tried to climb up on top of it, but it most definately did not work. It just come out with some extremely unnatractive shots.

Spring Inspiration 2012
