happy saturday

So, these pictures are also from awhile ago, but not as long as the others. Lily and I went out to Lakewood Park for a photoshoot and it was freezing. It was about six thirty on a chilly October night — I still don't understand how Lily went without her jacket for so long. Anyway, Lily's the true fashionista in these pictures (we didn't get many of me), but I don't know where her outfit came from. I'll do a little guesswork, but if Lily corrects me I'll fix the tags.

Ps. Remember the first picture from anywhere? Dot dot dot. :)

P.P.S. If you click on the photos, they enlarge and are much prettier. ;)

My outfit:

Headband: Sequined headband, given to me by the Rangerettes

Necklaces: Cross necklace, H&M; disco ball necklace, American Eagle

Dress: Bow tie black chiffon dress, Urban Outfitters

Tights: Houndstooth black tights, American Eagle

Lily's outfit:

Dress: Candy striped housewife dress, thrifted

Pin: Nautical brooch, thrifted

(a lotta guesswork there, huh?)

Finally, FINALLY I got the pleasure of "working" with Lily the Great — Ann Marie's cousin. She's a fantastic photographer and a wonderful girl. We went down to Lakewood Park on a blistering hot day (Saturday, with temps in the upper 90s!) to take some pictures for the ModCloth Fashion Short video contest. Starring me, Ann Marie, and another friend, Lily graciously accepted to shoot it in stop motion for us. This was the first day we tried shooting, but it didn't work out so well, and we just ended up taking fun shots and forgetting about our video.

Once we finally put it up though, pleeeease vote for us! We'd love to win a gift card to ModCloth, one of the cutest clothing websites out there.

P.S. A little treat — featured on This Time Tomorrow by Krystal (and by the rest of the Delightful Dozen) was this ADORABLE necklace collection from Jess LC. I love it! Desperately seeking jewelry. Check out the 50% off brail necklaces; the brail is misspelled, but the heart's in the right place, and as she says, it's a good way to get great jewelry for half price!

Dress: Blue and white polka dot house dress, Urban Outfitters

Shirt: White button down Oxford, Chadwick's

Necklace: Two-stringed pearls, vintage from my mom

Shoes: Black lace flats, Urban Outfitters

Rings: Stackable flowered rings, Urban Outfitters (courtesy of Lily)

meet me in my room

Ann Marie's wonderful cousin, Lily, is not only a great photographer — she's also a budding stop-motion animator/director. She makes the cutest videos ever.

So, the other day, I was lounging around, doing absolutely nothing, and I realized that I really needed to start doing something worthwhile. I then took a cue from Lily, went into my room, found all the silly little trinkets I have lying around, and made a movie. This is the product of my first-ever attempt at stop motion!
