Rugged Chic

I was in the weirdest of moods today. I can't explain it. I didn't know what to wear, what to do, or where to go. Usually when I dress up, I think I must be someplace! Today I decided it was hiking time. I'd had these boots in my closet for awhile and have been itching to wear them with something. So.... I mixed and matched around until I found something rugged, yet cute. :) 
The pictures didn't turn out so well. The sun was almost blinding and it was so windy that I was doing everything to keep my hair from becoming my face. Ah well. The boots I decided I adore. That's it for today.

Oh! You're feelin' blue...

The last couple days have been cloudy, dreary and raining. Needless to say, that tends to make you feel a bit down and out. At least I do. It doesn't help that there's a lot on my mind and I can't shake off what I'm feeling. So, now I'm turning to the comfort of my writing, where I can express in black and white, my emotions. I like that words can't judge you. You write them, they're there and they accept wherever and however you place them. They are able to show in as much or minimal detail how you feel, what you think and can translate things to the reader that otherwise may not be understood. That's why I love to write. I love words. I love art because it too, can show emotion the way nothing else can. I want to post a couple pieces that I have captured. First, there is the girl taking in the scent of the flower. She looks so carefree and the flower is so delicate, yet offers itself as a thing of beauty that someone can find peace and relaxation from. Most of my artwork takes me less than five minutes, but I think this piece reveals how something so small can give you so much; finding peace in the simplest of life's joys and God's creations. Next is the photo of the sunrise. Oh, how good it feels to take a walk in the earliest of dawn and see the sunrise! That day was particularly chilly; fog surrounded the hills, trees and countryside but the sun shone through the haze and brought forth its beauty on everything it gazed upon. My wish is for everyone who is needing something, feeling down, or maybe just needs their spirit uplifted, look to the simple things and realize how blessed you really are. ~

Shades and Braids

I took these pictures the other day and decided to post them. I don't know why but I was feeling very 70's. I picture myself in this outfit riding horseback in the woods, stopping by a beautiful lake and reading a good classic book. The scenery was just so pretty here.... can you believe this is my backyard?! Well it kind of is. I didn't even know it was back there until I took a little walk in the woods behind my house. I think it's just lovely.

Retro Flirt


Today embraced me with sunshine. It was beautiful.... almost more than my old little Kodak Easy Share camera could take! (I know, I desperately need a new one but this will have to do for now.) Despite all it's warm looks of sunshine and cheer, today was chilly! However, I managed to stay quite cozy and warm.
I know it's Spring and all and you're "supposed" to wear bright tones of pink and pretty pastels, but I saw this plaid jacket in my mother's closet and instantly I had an idea! The jacket paired with the creamy beige top, denim shorts and navy tights brought this adorable look together. I coordinated the vintage leather lace-up boots with the leather belt (American Eagle) and accessories, all of which has been found at my little thrift shops I go to regularly.
And the idea about the B&W picture with the umbrella? Well, I love art and contrast. You could say I'm obsessed. I do think it made for a very artsy photo, don't you?

In the paisley mood

Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous outside. It definitely told me that Spring was finally here, getting us all ready for Summer to arrive. There's just something about the outdoors that makes me feel alive and free! Thought I'd post a few pictures I took with the help of my adorable little brother, Gabriel.


























I love, love, love earthy and neutral tones. I especially love this shirt with it because of the blue. I'm also wearing a vintage turquoise ring and bracelet that I picked up from thrift stores. The clothes along with the beautiful weather made me feel so comfy! I just wanted to cuddle up on a porch swing and read a good book. It was a perfect day.


My cute 'lil photographer. He'll grow up and be famous someday. :)

My first attempt at blogging...

Okay, so... I've never kept a blog before. I like keeping journals just because I like to think I have a creative writing style but who knows, that's just my opinion. ;)
I desperately needed a hobby. There are a zillion things I love to do, but living in a rural country with less than favorable circumstances, there's only so much a girl can choose from. Since I'm creative, love photographs, drawing and writing, I decided to blog. Hopefully I'll add more to it after time and who knows what it can become! My father always told me I can accomplish whatever I want to in life, I just have to put my mind to it. So here I am, Dad! I'm putting my mind to it.
And thanks to my man, the best boyfriend in the world who supports me in everything I want to do.
