urban castaway

Ever so slightly obsessed with ThreadSense's new lookbook

i am the sugar plume fairy!

(Esprit peacoat, Dooney and Bourke bag, Free People slip, thrifted robe)

Oakley and I went into Boston last night to see the Boston Ballet's production of the Nutcracker, which was pretty exciting for me, who is a dancer and neverbefore seen it live! So naturally I was PUMPED! We walked around a while on Newbury St. (one of my favorite places in the world) and later had dinner at P.F. Chang's which tasted amazing. Our trip went quite smoothly until our GPS freaked out on us and we ended up in Concord...weird, but besides that minor setback we arrived home with pleasant thoughts of snowflakes and sugar plum fairies.

your love is a deserter

(Calvin Klein slouchy sweater, Free People lace slip, and Jeffrey Campbell for Free People cork platforms)

I just got a lookbook.nu account and I finally decided to post a full-body shot of myself on there. This is what I'm wearing tonight to my friend's play. I hope you all have a good weekend.

the last of the fall

(Mikaela wears: Dalia Collection faux fur vest, Free People lace slip, Jeffrey Campbell for Free People studded oxfords, and Cynthia Rowley hat. Birgitta wears: Gap Kids sweater, Free People lace slip, Scala hat, and Bass oxfords.)

This shoot was kind of my goodbye to the crisp autumn days and HELLO to those cold winter nights. I'm pretty sure that this is the last shoot that I will be able to do this fall with all the work I have to do before Christmas break. Fall always goes by way to fast for me, but I do love the winter - it's when my favorite holiday occurs! CHRISTMAS! I can't believe how quickly its coming up - only 15 days way! I can't wait for it. I finally got my license last weekend so there will be plenty of shoots in places other than my yard to come.

Brandon Flowers Concert

(Military jacket found at an army store in Maine, J.Jill sweater, Free People lace slip, MIXIN 06 boots, thrifted hat)

I hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving. I know mine was stuffed with stuffing, mashed potatoes, a too-small-for-16-people turkey and a HUGE apple pie!

The Killers have been one of my favorite bands for years and when Oakley told me that Brandon Flowers had made a solo album I got a little scared and little excited. The album ended up being great so we decided to go see him in Boston. Oakley and I spend the day after Thanksgiving in Boston. Before heading to the Boston House of Blues we went for sushi at Fin in Kenmore Square and explored in Boston until 5 when we got in line and met some pretty interesting characters including a college student in a bear hat named Max. We had a great time even before the concert started. I do love the city; Boston is definatly on my list of places that I want to live...after New York City that is. The concert itself was amazing. A band from San Deigo opened for Brandon called "The Tranfer." They ended up being really good so I bought their CD after the concert and even got to meet them (I even hugged the lead singer!) Brandon was even more amazing than I thought he was going to be. He played my favorites; "Only the Young," "Jilted Lovers and Broken Hearts," and "Crossfire." We stayed after the show ended to see if we could meet him before he got on his bus (which we are touching in the last picture) but unfortunatly he had skipped out and gone to dinner right after he got of stage. We were very disappointed about this, but we had an AMAZING time in Boston.

Plans for the night? Hmm...I'm finally going to see Burlesque with Lexii and Jacky tonight at 7 should be fun seeing as I have been dying to see this movie for weeks!
