i had one of those moments when i really liked what i was wearing and felt the need to document. i rang my friend ashley, confidante and fellow spinecracker, to help as she happens to be a fantastic photographer. as it so happens, i've been bugging her to do some "ghost" photos with me. i've always loved them particularly the old black and whites from the early 1900s, where a glimpse of a ghost is seen in the background, or one's spirit seen leaving the body after death. after a few outtakes, here are the results...
faux fur jacket H&M, drawstring dress AA; leggings AA, gray grandpa sweater j.crew; durango western skimmers...
sad sidenote: i HATE my hair lately, its pulling a rosanna danna on me and i am bummed as a result. it could be the weather, but whatever...
cracking myself up over here...
not to pin my lack of posts on the holidays AGAIN, but he's askin' for it. shopping, wrapping, traveling, and planning a wedding leaves a girl tired and cranky. to make up for my fair-weather posting, i decided to roll a cluster of things into one heaping post. to begin, christmas i received many thoughtful items, not all of which i'll include in this one post but will certainly pop up i'm sure.
below is a pair of shoes by colonial madness that paul got me and which i've managed to wear to all occasions (christmas eve mass. the higher the heel the closer to god). the gold gorilla cuff was a secret santa surprise from cheryln. she gets me the best stuff ;) shout out to mom: thanks for encouraging the dress + pants experiment.
my brother bought me "high society," starring grace kelly and featuring THE dress that inspired my wedding gown... 
i'm also pretty happy with the gifts i gave, particularly the prairie dog i made paul, whom he christened 'mortimer paco.'
another project, aside from working on a wedding gown pattern, was this moto-style zip dress, as seen in this god-awful photo. i've been wanting to make one since i saw a floral version by zimmerman in russh magazine. i promise to take a better photo soon, the lighting is breaking my heart...
new years was perfect, i actually baked, and made a few hors d'oeuvres. there was dancing, and sparklers at midnight served up with a new year's group hug. easily one of the best. below: a chocolate kahlua cake, topped with blackberries 
my favorite picture: my girls val, meg and ashley doing 'the make-out' move...
lovely lisa with her cat mask.
AND after much scouring, pining, and praying, i think i finally found my wedding shoes. equal parts bride and glam rock, they're just what i wanted, easy to walk in, they bedazzle my heart... and they are from jeffrey campbell. 
now to watch ace ventura: when nature calls...
i've been up to a few things, by things i mean projects, some of which will be posted soon, along with a recount of my favorite holiday moments... happy new year's guys! xo
