day 284

I don't really like this. I know I can do a lot better with my photos but something isn't clicking right and I am making no progress. But hopefully this weekend I can actually schedule 365 photoshoots and get all the ideas that I sketch down in front of a camera.

Other than that, today was great. I got to go to the ceramics lab and work on a plate that I'm making for myself. I really hope it turns out nicely because I actually like the direction it's going. I can't wait to show you guys!

One thing I have never liked in the clothing world is the rain boot. Having small feet, I don't really like wearing shoes that make my feet look giant. Plus I have never seen incredibly cute rain boots. But my friend Jenna has these bright pink pair and they are the closest things to cute rain boots I've ever seen. I still don't think they look incredibly awesome on me (even though the heel does make me taller--score!), but they are kind of fun to wear anyways.




This is definitely one of my favorite outfits so far though. I can finally check mark my list saying that I've successfully mastered the belted sweater look that always circulates around pinterest from Ordinary People. Even though the polka dot shirt isn't a sweater ... it's the thought that counts, right?




I am so glad the weather is starting to cool and I can finally break out my fun sweaters and cardigans and tights again. I hope you guys have a great day!

look how they shine for you

day 283





This is my friend Taylor. :) We were going to do a different concept for today, but it ended up being too dark before I finished with the prop, so we opted to try some night photos. I've never really done night shots before and still don't really know if I succeeded, but it was still a fun learning experience.

Happy Tuesday everyone! The weather here is still warm and probably will be forever, I'm convinced. After doing my fall fashions article for the newspaper, I am aching even more for some cool weather (And this week it is supposed to rain! Besides that most of my clothes are for fall and winter, being from Alaska and all.




One of the challenges of college is being comfortable with taking photos of myself in front of other people. It's definitely a lot easier to do when I have a friend, and thankfully my friend Jenna loves tagging along with me. Hooray for friends!




I hope you guys have a fabulous day!
