5 Minutes in the Life of Shelby

*Clears throat* Eh, Eh, Ehmm. Ladies and Gents, I did a photo shoot BMS (AKA by myself) today. The outcome? Low quality pictures and a series of shots that have absolutely nothing to do with fashion. So, I, Shelby, present: 5 MINUTES IN THE LIFE OF SHELBY.

We will firstly begin with this picture. I will still trying to get in some good shots and I thought it'd be awesome to pose with my cat, Miss Kitty, but thanks to me being tired (mostly because I hung out with some Texas guys til late late the night before) and the low quality camera and the sun going down, I decided to just... take other pictures.

Turns out that I really just wanted to kiss Miss Kitty. Although she most definitely did NOT want one. She pulled the claws out as soon as I puckered up!

It was then that I said "screw Miss Kitty!" and took this lovely picture... of my shoulder. I thought those spikes were lovely and believed you all might appriciate them too.

Lastly, I got a call from my mom who told me to go get some burger out for dinner. So I did. I also pretended to eat it. Yum Yum!

In The End, We're All Blue

She. Is. Preparing. Prep-Prep-Prepping she is. Her goals are clear, yet her mind is swamped. So much to do! So much to do! So. Little. Time. Barely a month before the deadline hits and her funds are lower than the Grand Canyon is deep. She is ready for it all to be over. Ready for it to start more likely... if it even does. She needs money. She needs permission. She needs directions. Literally. She's going to get lost, but that's what friends are for... or at least friend's GPS'.

ABOUT THE LOOK: Smize first ladies and few gents! I told you that I have three sets of these pictures; smizing, giddy and bloopers. I chose the smizing ones first. So, about it. This is my friends coat. I am IN LOVE with it. The color. The style. THE BUTTONS. This coat is what I now envision when I think of fall.

I Know the Sky

I know the sky better than anyone else. Why? My head is always in it. I can't concentrate anymore. Dreams fill my head and I must fulfill them. Chase them. Well, I try. Think of what you want then reach out and grab it. For me, what I want is just out of reach and I need someone to push it forward so I can at least touch it. Is it possible? I hope so. Help me.

ABOUT THE LOOK: Lace on lace? I say yes. I tucked in a lace peplum shirt into my triple buttoned, high waisted shorts that I got from Plato's closet. I added this super gorgeous lace jacket that I got from Rue 21. I wasn't to sure of putting lace on lace at first, but it turned out pretty nice. I think it's the jewelry that tied it in as well. I have a cute little peter pan collar necklace from Rue 21 and my friends earring. What do you all think about lace on lace?

BEHIND THE SCENES: My friend and photographer was with me like always, but today, my other best friend joined us in our photography journey. Her name is Heather, but I call her Chug-A-Muffin. Don't ask why, just accept it. Anyway, I just can't be serious with her around. I can hardly control myself with just Andrea. You'll be able to see both of them in the next couple of weeks because I have posts to, well... post and they are in them!
