I'd Rather Have Flowers On My Table Than Diamonds On My Neck...

Yesterday evening when the sun was a golden orange, peeking through the moss on the big oak tree in our yard, I went outside with my mom and she took some pictures of me in her Gunne Sax dress from the 1970s.  It wasn't planned, I had just happened to be doing some restoration of the dress, and I thought it might be the perfect time for a photoshoot.

This dress had always been my favorite thing in my mom's closet.  I can remember trying it on when I was really young and wondering if it would ever fit and/or not be at least three feet too long.  It was so exciting a couple of years ago when it fit and she told me I could keep it in my closet!  I expect it to show up in many more photoshoots from now on!!

Because of how little time we had due to the lighting, my makeup wasn't very involved.  I used some Voluminous Million False Fiber mascara and a swipe of Revlon lipstick in Pink Wink (my new favorite shade).  My hair was still wet from swimming in the pool so I just combed it a little.  All in all, a very fun late-afternoon photoshoot - all thanks to my mom for letting me borrow the dress, wading through a sea of poison ivy and hitch-hikers and for baring with me while I was obsessively trying different poses.

In Full Bloom....

Here in Fl. (much like everywhere else), we're having a ridiculously early spring.  This means that flowers(and my allergies) are in full bloom.  Much like the landscape, my pinterest account has also been in full bloom:

Love that hat!

yummy :)

Ahhhhh....I love spring!!

My Favorite Photographer.....

Recently I've discovered a photographer and I've absolutely fallen in love with her work!  She is so inspirational to me!  Her name is Vivian Maier and she took photographs of regular people, in regular places doing regular things during the 1950s.  Nothing overly glamorous or Hollywood-ish.  Just plain people.  But her photographs are deep and emotional, something that few modern day photographers manage to capture.  Here are a few of my favorite shots - enjoy them!

vogue.com has a very interesting article about her, featuring many of her photographs: http://www.vogue.com/magazine/article/hidden-talent-vivian-maiers-recently-discovered-photography-returns-to-new-york/
