When I edit my photos I adjust color, sharpness, and brightness. From time to time I've covered up blemishes. When I was editing these pictures I noticed the bruises on my legs, which I always have. But I decided to leave them be. My bruises are part of my character, I bruise easily. Plus, might it not be that woodland fairies have some war marks to boast of? I definitely think so.

Oh, and . . . Happy New Year!

On my way home on a day out, this little spot caught my eye. I always try to take my camera with me if I think there might be the slightest chance of squaring away some photos. From the colors of the outfit to the warmth of the trees, I love how it all plays together. There is something so enviable about the in-between weather of the seasons.

Scarf: Belgium

Boots: TJmaxx

Necklace: gift

This little hillside has been in photos before. Its beauty seemed magnified when autumn came and I could hardly stay away.The outfit was put together to document the shirt before I donated it. I've had it for years and more recently realized that I've stopped wearing it. I've been trying, pretty successfully I might add, to downsize my closet. I'm pretty sure that this shirt was one of many that my best friend stole during my year in Europe. It's just that cool of a shirt.

This is one of my favorite morning spots for walks. Since I moved it's a little farther away than I'd like to drive for a run or walk in the morning, so I'm in search of a new place. But for some days it's perfect. 

I took a chance on this dress and it worked out for me. It became one of my most worn pieces during the summer and leading into the fall. 

It's finally snowing here in Maine and I'm loving it - when my car isn't getting stuck in my driveway. I've taken my time walking downtown and enjoying the white covered buildings. My Instagram has a few pictures of the snow beauty. Until next time. 

Few of My Favorite Things

Sweater: Kohl's (forever ago)

Lace Top: Ebay

Necklace: Lace Affair

Schooltime Sparkle Skirt & Best of Times Heel: Modcloth

Purse: Charlotte Russe

These photos cover a lot of my favorite things: one of my favorite places in Maine, one of my favorite necklaces, and one of my favorite shoes. The shoes I love so much I actually own two pairs, in two different colors - honestly I kind of wish I had bought a third in red. The necklace is definitely one of my most worn necklaces - it's pretty long, but I double it up for the shorter aappearance 

This is a little hiding spot in Maine, a public beach that is rarely crowded. I spent many of my mornings this past summer there reading and digesting my breakfast. It's kind of nice to see summer pictures while watching the snow fall.

Vampire Diaries is one of my guilty pleasures and as a gag Christmas present I bought myself and my friend Damon's daylight ring. So one winter afternoon it seemed the perfect chance to show it off, along with my winter staple of an oversized sweater.

Notting Hill and What Not

Outfit Details:

Needlework it Out Dress: Modcloth

Tights & Shoes: Kohl's 

Purse: Charlotte Russe

Necklace: Gift

We wandered Notting Hill one day before checking out Somerset House briefly. My journey was fifteen days so many of my outfits made repeat appearences, which is why the picture below is from Ostend, Belgium, where I ended my Europe trip after visiting my host family for a few days. I think I need to go back to Europe.

Afternoon at the Oasis Dress: Modcloth

Shawl: Forever21

Shoes: Kohl's

The first couple days in Europe I wore a lot of Modcloth, but some of my best throw on dresses come from them. Throw on dresses such as these are the best for travel adventures. When traveling anywhere, my favorite is perusing/walking around and taking in everything around. Sure, I still visit museums and famous sights, but I love people watching. One of the things that was a must do on my list in London was walk the Queen's Walk along the Thames. Along the bank we saw someone playing bagpipes and crossed a festival and caught the sunset, an almost perfect evening.

London Calling

Another reminder about far behind my blog is, last summer I went to Europe with some friends and just now I'm getting the pictures up. If you follow my instagram you might have already seen some of these beauties-I tried to restrain myself and not post too many pictures. We'll see how that goes. This is just the first in a row of posts of Europe pictures to come. 

Along the Thames

Steps of St. Peter's 

Outfit Details:

Dress & Shoes: Kohl's

Necklace: gift

Purse: Charlotte Russe

We flew into London and stayed there for three days. Even though I've lived in Europe a few years ago, it was my first time in London. From hanging out by the Thames to St Peters and then of course the last blue police box at Earl's Court, I loved it all so terribly. The only thing I could of done without was the surprising heat wave. 

New Orleans

These pictures are from back in March when a few friends and I went down to New Orleans after Mardi Gras - it had to be after as I'm not a big fan of crowds. It was my first organized road trip and so much fun! We stayed in the French Quarter, which made me happy for obvious reasons, and explored the city for a few days.
