Happy Boxing Day to all those inhabitants of countries where the day after Christmas is an actual holiday! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. I spent the beginnings of my Christmas vacation up in North Conway with the cousins. I got to leave school early on Wednesday so that we could drive up North to go skiing with the cousins.

Hem hem, now back to my subject; I'm sure you're wondering where these were shot and the answer is in the pool at the North Conway Grand Hotel! I had finished swimming and I was just dangling my feet over the side of the pool, watching Mikaela and Birgitta swim. That's when I noticed how amazing the image of Mikaela looked submerged under the water. So I actually ran all the way back to our room (by "ran" I mean took the elevator all the way up to the fourth floor) to grab Cammy just so I could take some photographs of Mikaela in the water and I'm glad I did because these look so different from my usual shots!

I always get a little sad the day after Christmas. Its the kind of sad when you don't know what to do with yourself now that the fun of the Christmas season is over. But I'm hoping to cheer myself up a little bit by searching for the perfect pair of Jeffrey Campbell platforms (within my Christmas money price range) and cooing at everything Agnes from Despicable Me does.

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.

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

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!
