Mermaid Aspirations

 Outfit Details: Dress & Jacket (TJmaxx) Necklace (Vintage) Boots (White Mountain) 

I'm still waiting to wake up one morning a mermaid, if just for one day. 

Maine's rocky shores are what stole my heart some four years ago. I woke up early that first day in Maine and stumbled out to watch the sunrise and that was it, I knew Maine was going to be my next home.

Maine continues to catch me off guard and days like this one where the wind pulls the fog in over the shores, I really can't imagine living anywhere else.

It's Maine Again!

Outfit Details: Shirt & Watch (Kohl's) Skirt (JCPenney) Necklace (Modcloth) Blazer &Tights & Booties (TJmaxx)

If you follow my Instagram, it might have been long apparent that I moved back to Maine this past fall. Here's the actual outfit proof. These pieces have become a staple in my closet, from the plaid shirt down to the boots. But, I'll be honest, the skirt's my favorite, I love anything with A-line and in plaid.

This beach is another thing, not too long ago it used to be within walking distance of me. After work, I'd grab a book and walk down the road to this little sandy patch. It was one of the first places I visited when I found my way back to Maine.

Those Copper Beachs

Jacket & Boots & Necklace: Gifts

Shirt & Tights: TJmaxx

Afternoon at the Oasis Dress: Modcloth

One of my favorite things about Maine beaches are the rocks. There is something wildly alluring about them and not just in Maine. Rocks along any shore are thrilling to me. I am somewhat of a nature girl, because the moment I'm in it I get all dewy-eyed and breathless. That's one great thing about Prague, so far, despite being a city terrain there are nature and parks abound.

I don't know why I love that last photo so much. Maybe because it reflects most of the faces I make on camera. The ones you end up seeing are the rare moments where my hand isn't hovering in mid air and my eyes aren't crossed.

Snow Edged Beaches

Outfit Details: 

Dress & Leggings & Scarf & Coat: TJmaxx

Sweater & Boots: Target
My Very Own Hyperbole Necklace: Modcloth
Weeping Angels Ring: Hottopic

I had wanted photos of snow or rather photos with snow as the background. It never happened. I was always a day too late, and the snow would turn a shade too grey or melted far too much. Eventually, I gave up waiting for the perfect, fluffy snow background. I still think it's pretty.

Swimsuits and Star Trek Towels

Outfit Details:

Swimsuit Top: TJmaxx

Lace vest: Forever 21

Boots &  Shorts: Ebay

Towel: ThinkGeek

Necklace: Modcloth

Since it's starting to get cold outside I might as well bring out the swimsuit photos, right? Even in the height of July - when these were taken - it's too cold to actually swim in the ocean where I live. Mostly the whole reason for the photos was to show off my beach towel. As for the swimsuit, it was a lucky find for me a few years back and I'm still quite smitten with it.  

Happy Halloween: Kiss the Girl

Outfit Details:

Made by me and my mum. 

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays - mainly because it's fun, I love costumes, and I have great memories from past ones. When Halloween came around last year I really didn't have any intentions to dress up, but after a suggestion from my friend I decided to be Ariel. In case the red hair wasn't an indicator, she's always been my favorite Disney princess. While my Halloween plans that year fell through, months later I managed to wear the home made costume outside of the house and get some pictures.

On a freezing morning I dressed up and went to the beach, tugging along a friend who slept huddled in blankets while I took pictures. The experience made me realize that Ariel's hair would be nothing like suggested and my hair and beach weather don't get along so well. But, now you know: I'm a total sucker for Ariel and Halloween.
I love dressing up, and well, I'm totally okay with it. 

Happy Halloween!

Vintage Air-force Ring

I love this dress. Don't you love it when that happens? When I found it in the store I didn't even plan on trying it on. But for some reason I went back to it and took it into the dressing rooms. What sold me was the low cut back, which I have a strong appreciation for (that might be putting it mildly).

The dress was perfect for a trip to the beach. It was cooler there than I thought it would be and while the material was light, it managed to keep me warm enough. I was told I looked like the girl from Titanic while wearing it. (Kate Winslet.) If you've seen an earlier post of mine you'll remember that I actually have a dress that my mom made-modeled from a dress from Titanic. Perhaps we should appreciate the irony of that comment. (Is that really irony? I can't decide.)

The necklace, I put that together the night before these photos were taken, I struggled to make it just as I saw it in my mind while watching an episode of M*A*S*H. Since then it fell behind one of my heavy book cases, so it might be a while until it returns. Actually I think I have one more outfit pictures to post with it and then it'll be gathering cobwebs. Hopefully I will manage to retrieve it sometime.

Last but not least, the tattoo. I don't have a real one and I hate needles, so it will be a while until I get a tattoo-if ever. But I have many fake tattoos that I can paste on my skin should I feel like it. Summer is the perfect time for them with the extra skin showing and all the up-dos.

P.S. aren't pictures at the beach the best? Sigh.
