Wandering The Woods

These are a few of the photos from the last minute photo shoot that I did. I have so much fun doing these. I love that I have awesome friends who help me out, especially when they are subjected to hundreds of photos. I really enjoyed doing it and I hope that you enjoy seeing them. There are even more posted on my flickr.

Oh The Things We Do For A Good Photo

After working on my last photo shoot for my internship, I have been obsessed with getting to do it again. Today I finally did. It was so much fun! I just love it! We shot the entire thing in some woods behind my friends house, there was even a little creek. When I was making my way barefoot down the creek, I had to laugh. It is amazing the things we will do for a photo. I know that so many of us have had interesting stories about trying to take outfit photos, or about taking photos of anything in public. In my opinion though it is all worth it. I just love doing these impromptu shoots. Hopefully there are many more to come. I can't wait to upload some of the photos. Hopefully I can get them up tomorrow before I go to work.

Some Time Off...Finally

I finally had a couple of days off this week. I have been working some crazy hours these past few weeks. I have been working on a few DIY projects for back to school, as well as running some errands and meeting with friends. One of my most recent projects us this ring. This morning I went to lunch with a friend, and then walked to campus to buy my books, my wallet and I are not too happy with that second part. It has been so nice to relax today and finally get some stuff done.

Sightseeing and Treats

On my second full day in New York, we did some more sightseeing. One of the first things we did that day was to do a little shopping. We went to Bookmarc, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and Magnolia Bakery. Next, we took our treats to Central Park, where we rented a boat. We rowed our boat out and ate our cupcakes and banana pudding under a tree in the park. It was so amazing. After that, we ventured down to the MoMA, where it was free on Friday evenings. I loved seeing all of the amazing works of art, especially Starry Night, as well as the many Andy Warhol works. After the museum, we went back to get cleaned up for dinner in Little Italy, where I tasted the best pizza that I have had the pleasure of eating.

For a day of sightseeing I chose to wear my new skirt and a button up. I also wore some new sneakers which I thought were already broken in, though the current status of my ankles say otherwise.

I Woke Up In The City That Doesn't Sleep

This past weekend I took the train up to New York to visit a friend. I had so much fun and it was great to see so many of the different sights. I have always wanted to take a trip on a train, so on Wednesday, I got on the train and was on my way. I spent most of the day on the train. On Thursday, we started sightseeing. We began our day with Bryant Park and the garment district. Next we headed to Grand Central where we sought out the whisper room (which is awesome by the way). After that, we headed to the MET, for an afternoon of taking in art. I loved seeing the Schiaparelli and Prada collection. I also enjoyed seeing works from some of my favorite artists, seeing many in person for the first time. That evening we headed to Williamsburg for dinner and sightseeing. It was such a great day.

Beach Photos

This was one of the outfits that I wore at the beach. I am so behind on my photos since I never got to post them when on vacation. I think that this is the last set from my vacation, we will see though. I wore this out for dinner and sightseeing one night. It is rare that I will wear a dress with such thin straps. Actually, this is probably the only one I own. However, since I was at the beach I made an exception, plus it was much too warm for the cardigan I packed. I paired the dress with some sandals, basic jewelry, and a sunhat. I did get to wear my new shell ring, which I am obsessed with.

Ocracoke Island

When we were on vacation on the Outer Banks we went to many small towns that were all amazing. One of the towns that we went to was Okracoke Island. We had to make it a day trip, since it was about an hour away from where we were staying. One of my favorite things was that our trip to the island started on a ferry. I had never been on a ferry before, and it was quite an adventure. Two of these photos are from a museum on on island. It was full of nautical treasures, including these vintage uniforms. After we went to the museum, we walked around the town and visited some quaint shops and restaurants. Then we went to the Okracoke lighthouse, which was such a treat. We finished out our day with dinner and dessert at a crepe food truck. I had a strawberry and nutella crepe which was just amazing, especially paired with the lavender soda. We then hopped back on the ferry to head home. Later that day we also stopped at another lighthouse. It was such a great day and I have so many great memories.
