Californiagrams

    I'm back from California!
Oh my stars, what a lovely week.
I'm refreshed, newly motivated and ready to tackle work again!
A little vacation was just what I needed.
Here are some/a lot of instagrams from the trip to tide you over until I can get around to sharing the real photos!
Thanks again to everyone who gave recommendations of places to go/things to see/foods to eat. 
It was very much appreciated!

I'm taking a little vacation from work this week!
We all need a break sometimes, you know?
So I'll be a bit absent in posting here.
My goal is to spend as little time in front of screens as possible.
That includes my phone as well so if I don't answer texts or emails right away, it's not cause I hate you. 
;)

Life According To Instagram

This week I...

 -Was interviewed and featured on Melissa's blog The 25th Hour! 
-Shared some photos of a dear friend
-Found a new obsession
-Snuck rainbow cookies into a movie theatre. That's probably a first.
-Shared a little video I made!
-Posted some more photos from Europe! Here and here. I know you're probably tired of these, but I'm doing it for me. And for my friends who went with me and keep bugging me to hurry up and finish posting them...
-Guest posted on Meagan's blog with another outfit post!
-Made a new cowl from my Scotland yarn! It's so cozy. I love it. I look like a turtle when I wear it.
-Tried my darndest to get ready for California! I still have a lot to do but I'm trying to stay motivated and productive! My eyes are starting to hurt with how much I've been in front of the computer lately though...

Europe In Photos {Part 6}


Here's another photo post from my trip to Europe last year!
You guys are probably getting tired of these, but that's ok. 
They're more for me anyway. 
;)
These are all photos from Scotland and visiting my friend Jackie.
Such a perfect trip. I loved every little thing about it.
From the train ride to the crumpets.

These photos are from my ninth day.
Feel free to read the above link so you understand the story behind the photos!

Europe In Photos {Part 5}

Slowly but surely catching up with the England/Scotland photos!
It's a little weird looking back at these and realizing they're a year old. 
It seems like yesterday that I was there and it's strange realizing it was so long ago. 
I still miss it.
I've also noticed that when it comes to the majority of this trip, I had less of an artistic eye and more of a documenting one. Don't get me wrong, I definitely love some of these photos, but others I realize I took more because it was something I wanted to remember rather than it actually being a good picture.
Which is why I need to go back.
So I can take better photos. 
;)

 These photos are from my eighth day.

Little Red Riding Hood: Behind The Scenes

So this post is long past due.
It's crazy how time can get away from you! 
Goodness.
Anyway, you probably remember the Little Red Riding Hood shoot that I posted last month right?
Well I took a few photos of my own during the shoot, as well as some video, and thought I'd do a little "behind the scenes" post here on the blog today!
Nothing fancy, but kinda fun and silly for this dreary Wednesday we're having.
To be clear, the photos in the linked post above are taken by Stephanie, the photos in this post are taken by me (with the exception of the first photo of me which was taken by James Lee)! You guys seemed to be a little confused about that (probably because you didn't read the text, just looked at the photos, which I can't really blame you for) but I just wanted to clarify.

Once again credit must be given to all of these lovely people!

Photographer: Stephanie Toll of 88 Love Stories
Model: Caitlin Williamson
Makeup: Krista Rose
Wardrobe and Knits: Me

Enjoy!

All pieces in the photos are now available in the shop!


Maddie

Maddie is one of my dearest friends.
We've shared many good times over the years (in fact you may remember her from this post!) and though we live far away from each other now, we still manage to keep up with each other and reunite for thrifting, junk food eating, chick flick watching and all around fun and silliness.
I went to visit her recently and snapped a few photos in between one of our thrifting trips.
Enjoy!
She's beautiful.
I love this girl to pieces.
