Sometimes You Just Need Something Inspiring

 

Photos are from an old post on WishWishWish, it’s worth checking out.

 Some pictures I find seriously beautiful and inspiring for my own personal fashion. I have had these saved in my ’inspiration’ folder for sometime now. The second picture of the keys is awesome. I happen to be an avid fan of antique keys which I posted about here. Lately it seems keys are a huge fashion statement; one I can’t get enough of.

I’ve been a bit too busy for the old blog, what with college apps, swim team practice, and plain old Life I haven’t quite come up with anything interesting to share with this blog.

I do have some side projects that might be worth sharing, for one- I have a jewelry blog that is a bit less neglected then this one and my school’s newspaper blog that I help edit and write for. Promise, promise, promise I will start up this blog again.

I even have some DIY costume posts set up for Halloween which will come later this week so check back!

Edgartown Light House

What’s better than going to the Edgartown light house on a beautiful day?

Meeting the light house keeper who happens to be my friend’s teacher.

One of the most beautiful veiws has got to be from the top of a light house; just saying.

hope you’re having a better week than I am,

Loss for words

I need a new outlet, this use to be my place to speak but lately it’s just a place filled with photos depicting my life. I want to place my thoughts down somewhere without boring others with my rantings, perhaps it is about time to go old school and break out the paper diary. Oh the joys of being a teenager,hah. Maybe I’ll be able to over come my insecurites and post my unfiltered thoughts here but I know my self too well for that.

I miss writing poems and over such nonsense.

Anyways, I also miss my friends who have moved away, including my friend Rachel who went off to college, she still visits often enough and when she does we make it count. we spent a glorious day at the beach; which explain these photos.

Sun-shiny day

Sometimes nothing is better then getting out in the sun and hanging out with an old friend. I love the sun’s carress and am trying to savor it before it leaves with the changing leaves very soon.

outfit: shirt-free people, necklace- i made, shoes- steve madden, shorts-old navy.

Yet another

New blog.

I don’t know why but I keep making new blogs.Perhaps it is because I love the ability to document things and share them with others. Anyways, the new blog is called Bijouterie Du Jour which in english means jewelry of the day. You guessed it; the blog is entirely about jewelry, mainly the pieces I made with picture tutorials.

Hope you enjoy it,

Neutrals

Lately I’m loving the flowy skirt and tank combo, its super easy, cute and comfy.  Also, loving a neutral color palette for fall.

I need to work on my poses… they’re a little lackluster.

Weardrobe Conference

Anyone else obsessively checking for updates on the blogger conference hosted by Weardrobe?

Some of my favorite fashion bloggers are participating in the NYC conference and I personally can’t get enough of it, it is sort of like having all of your favorite actors all in one movie. Anyways, I think it was a great idea and can’t wait for the rest of the pictures to surface on their various blogs. My favorite bloggers that were in attendance were the Clothes Horse, the Glamourai, Keiko Lynn, and Style Rookie.

What are your thoughts about it?

Summer Walks

It seems like the summer flew by in a blur. sorry  about my little hiatus but sometimes everyone needs a break; even from what they love. i have many pictures to share from the summer ( I did share a few already) but these ones have yet to make it over to the blog.

My friend Rachel and I went on a picture walk this summer. It was cloudy day but that didn’tchange the fact that we still got some pretty pictures. She got way more than me, I am sort of seriously jealous of her photography skills.

First two photos from Rachel’s blog, Rainy Ramblings. The rest I took; not well but none the less i did.

Keys

lately i”vebeen slightly obsessive with my quest for an antique skeleton key. it all started with watching an unremarkable movie on the TV with my mom. the movie was average but what really got my attention was the old house as the main setting. it was beautiful and all the rooms were locked up. each room had a key and a master skeleton key that opened all of them. the master key was an intricate old key that unlocked all of the secrets of the generations who lived there before.

I love the idea of a key, how it can symbolize opportunities and reveal your darkest secrets. after seeing the movie i decided that i MUST obtain one for myself and so my quest for a skeleton key started. i went to six antique and thrift stores and none sold keys. some had lots of keys but they wouldn’t sell them. finally after fruitless efforts i came across the most darling antique store and found what i sought for!

these three key necklaces are the results.

at the rate i’ve been making jewelry i think i might start selling it again; i work at a bead store in the summer so making jewelry is sort of unavoidable. sorry i’ve been such a bad blogger but lately my life has been extremely uneventful.
