Apple Festival

Earlier today my family and I made a trip to Jackson for the annual apple festival. I had such a good time and I ate copious amounts of food. Including these amazing apple dumplings. I also had butterfly potatoes and a deep fried pickle...basically all of the amazing foods that can only come from a food truck. I also got to look at some great crafts and antiques. I may have gotten a bit carsick on the way but it was totally worth it for some great time with family.

Oh yeah....Happy First Day of Fall! I couldn't think of a better way to start the season.

Discovering Old Paths

Yesterday, after a usual day of class and lunch with friends, I snapped these photos before I went out shopping. I decided to explore a little bit in the woods behind my house. It has been forever since I ventured out past the little clearing that I love. I had actually forgotten about this path. I can't wait to get on appropriate shoes and go exploring. Speaking of shoes, these are my new favorites. These are one of my favorite DIY's of all time, besides my dresses of course. I paired the shoes with a basic skirt and a button up. A super easy outfit for a day in class.

First Day Of The Semester

So this post is a little behind, but this is my outfit from my first day of class. It was technically over a week ago, but I forgot that they were on my camera. It was a good day of classes, and I loved the outfit. It is always nice getting back into a routine, it just takes awhile to get back into the routine. On the first day, I only had one class, which was my art class. I wore this dress that I just recently picked up, I have always wanted a red dress, and now I finally have one. I also wore these shoes that my aunt gave me, and the brooch that I picked up in New York.

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.
