Italy and Ireland Re-Visit.

Tonight I started to go through my hard drive to look at some old photos. I immediately went to my Italy/Ireland photos and started to re-edit some of them. I miss that place so much! That semester was so different but I'm so glad that I did it! Italy was the first time I really started taking photos, so it's interesting to see how far I've come. Of course I got my Canon SLR after I came back so all of these are from my Kodak Point and Shoot. I can't wait to go back sometime soon and take photos with my camera now :)

Life According to my iPhone.

I haven't done an Instagram update in awhile so here you go! I've been pretty busy trying to get everything ready for the first craft show I'm doing next weekend. In between making new jewelry and bows, I've been drawing and enjoying this beautiful weather we've been having! I can't believe that first off March is almost over already and that it's so nice out :) I'm loving it. This weekend will be filled with finishing everything up and taking photos of all the new jewelry and bows for my shop.

What are you guys doing this weekend?

Spring is here!

It feels like Spring is finally here! My favorite things to do are taking walks, photoshoots, driving around with the windows down and music blasting, drawing outside, and picnics. What are your favorite things to do?

P.S. I finally found the perfect black and white so of course I had to play around with it and use it on the self portrait I just did :)

Daily Outfit. Picnic.

I'm so glad today is finally Friday! Today I wore a pretty shirt I got at the thrift store for $1.50! (Originally Forever21) I love it although I did get asked where my picnic and cowboy boots were at work :) Tomorrow we are going out for my friends birthday and I have a ton of jewelry to make for some craft shows I have booked. What are you guys doing?

I haven't been using that much contrast in my photos lately but I couldn't resist with the colors :)

TTV Photos.

I mentioned in my Self-Portrait post that I had used that camera to take TTV photos a few summers back. I bought a Kodak Duaflex camera on Ebay and attached a tube of black paper from the Duaflex to my Canon. It was a little tricky at first to get used to the view but I'm in love with the way these came out. They have such a vintage look to them :) I'm thinking of putting some of these up as prints in my photography shop. What do you guys think?

Have you guys ever taken TTV photos?

Huge Anchors to Ashes Update!!

I just updated Anchors to Ashes with so many new things! Lots of new pretty rings, earrings and necklaces. I also re-took all of the photos and I'm really happy with the way they turned out, more of my style :) Check it out!

Self Portrait Saturdays. Props.

Today's self-portrait theme was props! I had originally wanted to do something with some flowers but I didn't have time to get some so I put this pretty vintage camera to use. I usually do up close shots so I decided to step back a little and get some of my room in the photo. This is one of my favorite vintage cameras, I just think it is so pretty. I took some TTV shots with it a while ago I'll have to share those with you guys.

This weekend I have lots to do! Tomorrow I will be re-taking all of my photos over for my store. They are currently on a white background now which I'm not in love with. Below is some new jewelry that I made the other night :)

Also tomorrow I am going to Jewelbilee (a local jewelry store) to drop off some of my jewelry for a Fundraiser they are having on March 22nd. It is going to be put in a prize basket and you could win!
