4 way Portrait

This is digital drawing done of me by Rachele of Near Sighted Owl. I discovered her blog when she emailed me about this drawing and it is my current favorite. I'm loving all of her great thrifted finds. Her 35mm project post have me excited about getting more film cameras. If you would like a digital portrait of your very own they available in her Etsy store for $25 each. I think they make a great thoughtful gift.

 

Last week I had a great meeting with Lucy Hewett about our upcoming portrait project. She'll be following me around for a few days taking pictures and video to form a 2 - 5 min digital portrait of me, so if  you ever wondered about my boring life you'll get to see a bit of what it's like to be me. This is a photo snapped right after the meeting. 

This Christmas at my house was very laid back. I didn't get a ton of gifts, but surprisingly I was ok with that. I'm finding that the older you get the items get more expensive, but you ask for fewer things. One of my gifts was a Fugi Instax 210. It captures vintage poloraid style photos simular to some the of instagram filters. I decided to capture our Christmas with the Instax instead of my DSLR. I'm getting a bit more into taking pictures with film and plan to get a Diana F+ soon. I love cool looking prints for pasting in journals and capturing random personal memories. These are pictures of pictures because I don't have a good scanner. I Hope you guys had a good christmas.

Everyday Face

Recently I have discovered the joys of makeup and I think I'm addicted. There are just so many different brands and things to try, but at the same time it can be overwhelming. I've went from bad make up to pretty good and can't wait to get better. I learn a lot by asking the ladies at Mac and Sephora. They are always willing to help. Above I have included my favorite make up products that comprise my everyday face routine. What are your favorites? 

Boom in the Trunk Photos

Boom in the Trunk is an amazing success and I can't thank you enough for coming out to support our featured bloggers, Rachel and myself. Everyone loved the gift bags, the DJ was great, the cupcakes were amazing, the photo presentation went well and the Samwell performance was awesome. Here are a few shots of the event taken by Josh slater, but there are tons of photos already up on www.boominthetrunk.com with more coming soon.

If you would like to use a picture for your personal social media feel free. If you are using them for your blog please link back to the Boom in the Trunk website and give photo credit to Josh Slater. If you are a magazine, newspaper, etc. please contact us before using these photos. I hope you enjoy them and thanks again to Josh Slater for all of the lovely shots.

Also, please excuse how casual my outfit is. I was running late for school and just threw on something simple. I kind of wish I'd looked more grand.

Ashley Stewart 20th Anniversary Campaign

I know I have been talking about this on Facebook and Tumblr, but I wanted to do a full post here. As many of you know a few weeks ago Ashely Stewart flew two other bloggers and myself to New York to witness their holiday photo shoot and style 3 looks each for their October 20th anniversary campaign. Last week we were on the front page of the Ashely Stewart website which can be seen above.




We also each have our tabs on the Ashely Stewart website. Although the pictures of my 3 looks are not up due to availability you can still check out the pieces I chose on my tab. When the pictures of my looks are up and the clothing is available I will post them here along with photos of myself in the outfits. We did interviews as well and I will post that when it's up to.

The most exciting part is our in store signs. We each have signs with the pieces from our looks in Ashley Stewarts stores across the country, so be sure to check them out!



Finally, we are back up on the Ashely Stewart home page for their Facebook campaign. I hope you guys like the turn out so far. :-)
