Supernova Twirl Skirt: Modcloth

I've learned to explore. I was taught to explore. I love to explore. 

This wasn't hard to find, but it took weeks for me to find it. Since the move I haven't gone out with the intention to photo outfits. Often it's like this - explorations where my camera comes along and I remember my tripod in the trunk of my car and I'm all set. 

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. 

November's Snows and Winter's Hotels

Jacket & Shirt & Tights & Earrings: Forever21

Belt & Cardigan: Kohl's

Supernova Twirl Skirt: Modcloth

Necklace: Lace Affair

Boots: Ebay

Puppy: Ollie

These photos are quite old, taken back in mid-November. It was our first major snow. I love these pictures, especially because my darling Ollie is so adorable in them. The pictures indoor were at a hotel we stayed at for a night. All of those were taken with my phone, as I forgot to bring my camera with me. I was rather impressed with how that one in the chair turned out, especially because I was balancing it up with a book and pen. This might be one of my favorite outfits ever. Super comfy which I needed for that day and I'm a sucker for that galaxy skirt. 

The pictures out in the snow were taken first thing in the morning, which explains the cool blue lighting. It was really too early for pictures, I think the sun had been up for twenty minutes-if that. But the hint of a pink sunrise in the background kind of make them magical.

One rule that I like to break is that red heads should never wear anything red. Red, being one of my favorite colors, has always had a special place in my closet; and I've never been afraid to overdose on the color. (This outfit is a good example of that) As for this dress, while the red is embracing, it was the cut out front and back that caught my attention, it's always the details like that that I like to look for. In the end I knew this was going to be a love of mine. 

The day these pictures were taken it was the last warm day of November, I didn't even really need my jacket. The leaves on the trees had reached their peak and finally they were starting to abandon their place in the sky and leave their colors on the ground. Some of them might have gotten caught in my hair, which was only troublesome is someone else noticed. It was such a beautiful day and it's sad to see these kinds of days gone until next year. 

Cemeteries and Galaxies to Explore

Outfit Details:

Jacket: Wetseal

Shirt & Belt: Kohl's

White vest & Boots: TJmaxx

Supernova Twirl Skirt: Modcloth

Purse: Target

Necklace: Vintage

The perfect days - weather wise - are always cloudy with a touch of wind. There is that scent in the air, something that can't be described as anything other than the wind. There are moments when you swear you need a jacket, but somehow manage to keep it off for most of your journey. On these days I could sit under the shadow of some tree for hours, in fact I have. Years ago I don't think I understood just how much moments like that meant to me. But more and more I've realized how so little can give you peace like this; and whenever the chance comes I know I need to breathe it in. It probably sounds strange to some but cemeteries are the perfect place to breath it all in, to relax. Despite the morbid sound, cemeteries are quiet and those that visit them don't come to shout and jump. They're little safe spots scattered over the globe, ever so silent.

A Tour of the Galaxy

Outfit Details:

Sweater & Belt: Kohl's 

Shirt: Ebay

Supernova Twirl Skirt: Modcloth

Tights: Target

Boots: TJmaxx

Necklace: World Market

Ring: France

In embracing this season I set off for that awesome sweater. I found this one at Kohl's and already I love it. It's soft and warm, plus it'll never be forgotten. It's been a warm October, especially for this side of the world, but finally I've been noticing frost on the car windows in the morning and I can see my breath at night. It smells of bonfires after the sun's been tucked away, and not just because we had one yesterday, but because it's fall. It's time to sit down and design our Halloween costumes, to pull out those decorative pumpkins you have somewhere in the house-or if you are me, pull out those bats you like to hang from your ceiling, oh wait! They are out year round.
