The Subject of a Project

One afternoon, during the Thanksgiving weekend, a friend of mine named Taylor met up with me at my house to take photos for her photojournalism class. The project was to create a video/slideshow of someone with an interesting talent or hobby. I was so flattered to have been chosen for my thirfty hobby as the subject of this project. As you'll see below, I showed her around my room, closets, and, of course, the ivy wall in which I take many blog photos.

Enjoy!

Oh, and follow Taylor on Tumblr here.

Neglected Photos

Today I was skimming though all the files on my computer from the last year--you know, organizing, deleting, & backing them up to my hard drive. It's something that I find almost therapeutic. With my horrible memory, I love looking back on my photos to refresh my mind of all the good times. Anyways,  while I was looking through all these photos, I came across a bunch of thrifted outfit photos that I never posted on my blog! So here they are, the neglected photos from the months of December, January, February, and March.

Smell the Roses

Dress- Tj-Maxx $20

Vintage Belt- The Gypsy den

Shoes- Sugar at Nordstrom Rack

Gypsy Dress

 This dress is one of the coolest items of my wardrobe right now. The moment I saw this glorious sleeved dress hanging in the Gypsy Den, I knew I had to have it. I was so in love that I wore it out of the store to dinner that night.

Here I paired it with a handmade spiked necklace from the Gypsy Den, and shoes & a vintage purse from Savers.

Thanks to my beautiful friend, Devon, for the photography!

Casual

So, after scoping out this lens on amazon for a while, I finally decided to buy it last Sunday; I was so anxious to test it out so I did the two day shipping & even that had me giddy until it arrived on my doorstep last night. Today I was having fun with my new lens & using it to get some of my new etsy products on my store. I can't wait to take this baby up to Reno next week for some good places to shoot. 

Anyways, with much of my activity being at home today, it was one of those blue jean/white tee kinda days.

The shirt is from Nordstrom Rack & is a really great fit; and, for around 7 bucks each, I couldn't resist buying one in a few different colors. The jeans are also from Nordstrom Rack's sale rack; I bought them for $25. I bought the chunky 90s Tommy Hilfiger wedges from Savers for $9.50; they remind me of something Jeffrey Campbell would put out. I just purchased this new cross body purse (my favorite kind) from a local store here in my hometown for $25. And, of couse, last but not least, one of my favorite necklaces which I bought at the Gypsy Den about a year ago.

P.S.
I havent uploaded all of the new products on my esty site yet but if you'd like to see what's on there go here: Sappo's Treasures
