Magnolia Trees in the Spring

Outfit Details:

Top & Jeans & Booties : TJmaxx

If you've ever looked through my blog, you might have realized that my favorite picture place is in front of this magnolia tree during spring - when it's in full bloom. Nothing can stop me. Not even a cold. Which was exactly what I was fighting when this specific photo shoot took place. But I hid all evidence of the cold away with a little extra foundation, all so that I could have a moment frozen forever beside my favorite tree.

Here's to spring and its soon arrival. I'm counting down the days, are you?
.Misha. 

Galaxies and Kittens

Outfit Details:

Pumpkin Soup Cardigan & Supernova Twirl Skirt: Modcloth

Tights: Target

Shoes: Forever21?

Necklace: Ebay

Kitten: Myka

I often have little followers when I take pictures. Myka just kind of loves everyone and loves to trail along for pictures. 

I'm not much of a stilettos girl and, unfortunately, I have shoes that never have gotten much use-like these-mainly because for the longest time I didn't quite know how to walk in them. But finally after owning them for probably five years they got a good walk in them. The rest of the outfit has gotten a lot of use, and the skirt is probably my favorite or at least top three.

When I was out and about, my friend said that she didn't think she'd ever seen me in jeans before-I laughed because while I wouldn't chose them every day, I do wear them a lot. This pair especially tends to make it into the favorite piles, plus whenever there is a hole, no worries about how the patch looks, right?

Puppy: Ollie & Kitten : Myka

I love my pets, that should be rather obvious to anyone who knows me. I don't think I'd ever survive without some by my side. Like humans I've always found it amazing how personalities differ with these creatures. Scared-y dogs and fearless cats. 

Something that has grabbed me of late was the death of my puppy-Ollie who is feature greatly in this blog and in these pictures. It's strange on some level I feel as if I should apologize for being so sad over his death, he was just a dog. But that's ridiculous. I've lived beside him for eleven years, his been a constant companion, a friend. He's sat with me as I've read, he's gone on great adventures with me, and he's been there every morning when I got home from work.  He was as real as any person I've known; and even if you've only read a few of my posts you should be able to recognize how much I loved him. So I shouldn't feel like I need to apologize for being heartbroken over losing my yellow puppy. 

I still have a couple outfits that I need to put up that has him parading beside me, it's a little strange, but then I'm so grateful that he was by my side so much that my camera caught many cute photos of him. That being said I've been having a hard time even editing them, which is one reason I've taken a little break from this outfit journal of mine. But now I'm going to try to get back into the swing of things. Also I think it's perfect to have a post about my puppy on Valentine's Day, last year he shared in my outfit as well. 

P.S. Here's a few adorable pictures of Ollie.

While many rejoice with a warmer fall, it tends to prove less colorful and while I know that the best colors come before the end of October, I've been impatiently waiting for a bit more red in the leaves. A few days have proved to be perfect fall days, between the grey lined skies and brisk breeze, one almost doesn't need the trees of hundreds of different colors. I turned to more neutral colors for this fall day outfit, pulling out things from my closet that I don't wear enough. But what really makes an awesome outfit is the little kitten I snagged for one of the pictures.
