this is what i do

oh heyyyyy i do still exist!!!!!! Sorry all. I keep meaning to put on some fresh clothes and take my own picture but I for  1) don't feel very good in my clothes at the moment (as i have told you all before) 2) have like NO time to take my own picture I spend all day every day taking other peoples pictures and editing them the idea of doing my own is DAUNTING.  SO finally I met up with a new photographer friend. She is so fabulously fantastic and I am pretty sure we are new BFFs I snapped a bunch of photos of her and she did so of me too.  I also happened to actually buy a new shirt this same day when out with my girl Kristin. And I am obsessed with it. All fall I have just been wanting to live in oversized shirts in black/grey at least this one has a little zazz with the zipper on the side.  So if you guys are missing out on me you can follow along on my photographic journeys on my  Photography Blog | Instagram | Facebook Page for Photography If not thats cool too. Just thought I would give you the option :D Also check out Alycia's work who did all of these amazing photographs. I LOVE her eye and her editing style is so fresh and fantastic i die (she also gets to take photos of a LOT of really pretty people and the fracking Red Wings so I am a bit jealous)  ~Outfit Details~ Shirt: from JB & Me  Necklace: Bud to Rose | From Threads on Eighth in Holland Get it HERE  Jacket: My mom's Vintage Leather Jacket Pants: American Apparel | HERE  Boots: Doc Martens (i have the ones made in England) | HERE Bag: Vintage Douney and Burke

reading - 

As you can see I have a stack-o-books I have read only one of (oh and i got more TODAY...): Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier. Originally written in German but oh-my-goodness is it wonderful! I cannot wait to get the sequel from the library. (You should know I am obsessed with Young Adult (YA) fiction..just FYI). I was also really excited about James Patterson's YA novel: Confessions, cannot wait to read that. The composting books are because I am making my parents a Composting Bin! So I needed some materials to brush up on my skills. The fiction I am currently reading is not seen in stack because....well im reading it ok! BUT IT IS AWESOME! It is actually from the 'tween' section but I saw it when I was at Powell's in Portland, read the first 5 pages and loved it. It is called Wildwood by Colin Meloy; the illustrations by Carson Ellis are awesome. Highly recommended for adults.

watching -

I had the pleasure of finally going to see a movie, Oz the Great and Powerful;  and I really enjoyed it :) I love the stories of L. Frank Baum and I love how they went about this. It was also very visually pleasing.
I also just finished House of Cards on Netflix and cannot wait for it to continue! OMG!


wanting-

On the same track as the movies i have seen I am lusting after the Glinda Palette by Urban Decay. I actually have the Theodora palette but I REALLY one this one :)


loving-

All my animals and family members :) I didn't want to throw up too many pics but here are a few lately



I know this is a crazy different post from normal but I felt like doing something different and not Slow Fashion or Fashion at all! (except for the makeup part!). Happy Hump day!
