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?)

I haven't been posting in awhile — due an absolutely insane fall schedule — so today's a bit of a catchup day for me. Therefore, there may be another post right after this one, even though it's the same day. Dear dear, whatever will we do? Live with it, I guess. These pictures are from the same day when we snapped those other photos of Lisa Dworkin, my birthday, Sept. 12. Considering it's now November…uhh…anyway, the redhead is Andrea, and the blonde is Sarah, and you know me! (I hope)

In other news, I'm officially booked: I'm going to see Team StarKid (makers of A Very Potter Musical) on November 13 in Ann Arbor, Michigan! My friend Sarah (seen here in blue in the last photo) and I are rabid TSK fans, and we absolutely cannot wait to go. Now to choose an outfit…

My outfit:

Sweater: Blue boatneck sweater, H&M

Skirt: Floral satin skirt, Urban Outfitters

Necklace: Disco ball rhinestone necklace, American Eagle

Shoes (not pictured): Blue Converse

Andrea's outfit:

Dress: Floral print, lace-backed dress, Target

Cardigan: H&M

it's a sick obsession

Tights, Vera Wang gift, Over sized sweater, borrowed from Andrew, Boots, Urban Outfitters (Deena and Ozzy) 20.00

I bought these boots at Urban Outfitters last weekend and simply fell in love. Maybe it was the fact that they were the only pair of shoes in a size 10 on the shelf but all in all a great buy. I cant stop wearing them. they go with anything, I wore them with this over sized sweater and plum tights for a fall fashion looked

they named a city after us

On Wednesday, Ann Marie and I took a trip downtown to take some photos for a guest blogger spot on The Button Owl. It was a hot day, and we were extremely tired by the time we were finished, but the outcome was good! Cleveland can be a dreary, boring, ugly city sometimes. If you look in the right places (see: 4th Street!), though, you can find some brilliant spots.

Skirt: Floral peplum pencil skirt, Forever 21

Shoes: Black lace flats, Urban Outfitters

Necklace: Swooping swallow and pearl necklace, local arts fest

Ann Marie's outfit

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)

Ann Marie is going completely insane right now, So her close friend (me) has taken over for the time being!

Today we went on an adventure in the blistering heat- a whopping 98 degrees.

We traveled to the park just to goof off, but due to the innter photography freak in me, i knew we had to take hold of the great lighting when we had it.

So we rushed back home to put on something blog worthy.

We worked with a lot of lines and geometry in this mini shoot, and just had a blast.

It started to storm right as we got inside- it was a true race. We sprinted as it was drizzling.
