(Free People lace slips and tank top)

There's nothing I like more than a new shipment of Free People! My mom surprised me with this same slip in navy blue and then she came into my room with a big package and out fell these three! I wish I could upload a fabric sample for you to feel; they feel amazing! They were all on sale like every other piece of Free People that I own. I've got to say though; I just received the November catalog and my mom let me put together a wishlist of all the things that I like. There's no way I'm getting all of it because the list goes on for miles!

Nothing special; I'm going to a home football game with my friends and then we're all going to Jill's to watch the Blair Witch Project. Should be fun since I've never seen it and I have some guy friends to cling to when it gets scary.

ENJOY THE WEEKEND! I know I will.

I feel like I've uploaded like a million photos in this Aerie dress. These are actually from a while ago in September...I PROMISE that I will start uploading more current  things...hmm maybe I'll stop uploading all of my weekend shoot photos all together in one post. Maybe I'll start uploading like one photo a day! XD yeah I don't think I'll be able to do that.

ANYWAY about these photos. The photo at the head of my first mixtape is a part of this shoot. My status of Facebook for like a week was "really wants some waterguns." I was very inspired by some fake, very real-looking guns that I saw in a magazine and I just thought "hmm maybe I should start working with props." SO I go over to Oakley's house and she says she has a present for me and before I left she hands me a bag that has these three bright and colorful WATERGUNS! That was a while ago and I waited until the end of September to shoot; I made shot the solos of the guns as an almost end of summer closer.

ENJOY!

Blue Blood Blues

These were taken at a Dead Weather concert at the House of Blues in Boston that I went to in July. Probably the concert that I was the most excied to go to. I said in one of my previous posts that I am an enormous Dead Weather fan so going to one of their concerts was an amazing experience. You should have seen me bouncing off the walls before I left for the House of Blues. It was kind of ridiculous how excited I was.

Jack White has been my hero since my Freshmen year (gee it sure doesn't sound cool to say that until you get past sophmore year...) anyway! I listened to the White Stripes first then the Dead Weather and then I moved on to the Raconteurs - the order was a little messed, but I've loved everything he's done. It was pretty huge to see my idol in person. I enjoyed that conert so much that I actually asked my mom if she would take me to their last show in NYC...but she said no :(

Mixtape #1

I think I might make this a weekly thing. I may not have mentioned it before, but music is a great interest of mine. I can't play an instrument or sing very well, but I love it just the same I currently have 1,543 songs on my iPod and I spend a lot of time in music stores and on iTunes. I usually have at least 100 songs stuck in my head in a single week so I think this would be a great way to share a part of my week with you guys that isn't strictly through pictures. I'm going to start uploading small playlist of 10 songs a week that I have been in my head the past week. I'll try to do this every Sunday in order to gear up for the week ahead.

I hope you'll enjoy it! I know I will!

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope you all had a safe Halloween; I know I did. Now that I'm finally home from my awe-inspiring weekend I have a TON of photos to upload. This isn't even half of them. On I've have lately been running out of locations to shoot so on Saturday my friend, Jill, took me around her hometown and showed me a few new places to shoot (I'll upload some of the review shots later.)

On Sunday I spent the day with Jill's family and shot their family portaits which was a lot of fun. Jill and I stayed behind at the park and took a few edgier photos. I have yet to put the family photos on a CD for Jill's family, but when I do I will upload a few of them here. What she was wearing earlier was a bit commercial so we borrowed a flannel from her Dad and it ended up working very well with the color of her hair and the scenery. I quite liked the shoot.

Then when night rolled around my friends and I got together and went Trick-or-Treating as the Rugrats!

Sadly, we didn't have a Chucky or a Susie, but it was pretty awesome; we ran around from 6-8 dressed as cartoon babies, collecting candy in pillow-cases, and wearing diapers made out of sheets. Yeah that was a pretty awesome Halloween.

Throughout this entire weekend Jill and I listened to Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and I have to say that I am IN LOVE with it! and that's where I got the name from. I've still got to buy the album, but that'll happen soon and I'll blog about it.
