Work-It Wednesdays: Weekly Outfit

Jacket: Urban Outfitters
Skirt: Flea Market
Rosette Clip: Gift

 

This is a new awesome skirt worn with leggings underneath. It was found at a local vintage flea market for five dollars. The jacket has been compared to costumes in The Village, so it maybe adds little appropriate creepiness for the upcoming holiday. The little rosette clip is wonderfully useful. It makes high-waist items fit perfectly and is made for tightening/pinning up clothing to create an attractive silhouette. 

 

 

13 Days of Halloween: Day One

Welcome to the first post of our "13 Days of Halloween" countdown! Tune in for 13 days of ghoulish crafts, spooky adventures, creepy decor, and inspiration for your own October celebrations. To kick off the countdown, we'd like to share a couple of Halloween-inspired everyday outfits....

Tasty Tuesdays: Fall Harvest Soup

This soup is absolutely wonderful. It is comforting, filling, and reminiscent of a fall harvest. We find ourselves craving it throughout the entire year, despite the season. While it does have a longer cooking time, the preparation is quite simple. Just get the ingredients into the pot and you can catch up on another project while your soup simmers away!

Work-It Wednesdays: Weekly Outfit

 

Another example of the tight/loose silhouette, this time with tight on the top and loose lines on the bottom. The collar of the sweater is folded up to create a high-neckline, which we love right now. The faux-snakeskin belt ties in the animal print theme, which is a big hint for this fall and winter.

Pants: Dolce Vita

Shoes: Nine West

Belt: Hand-me-down from mother

Sweater: Mystery brand from ages ago

Tasty Tuesdays: Moroccan Chick Pea Soup

A richly spiced dish that would be great a starter to a meal for cold nights but this soup can also stand alone. It is hearty with warm spices and a little added heat from the cayenne.

Saturday Stories: Golden Gardens & The Apple Tree

In an effort to enjoy the last traces of summer weather, we took a bus to a nearby beach. We were not entirely sure where the beach was located, so we hopped off the bus at the stop that seemed the closest. Secretly, we followed a pair of strangers who had been talking during the bus ride about visiting the beach. In the dim light of dusk we stumbled along a path through the woods. After many flights of stairs, near-tumbles, and several unmarked roads, we finally emerged near the beach. Although we left late and missed most of the sunset, the air was still warm and there were bonfires and people playing music.

Photoshoot Fridays: Dune Maidens

"Oh! come back from sea, my dear Johnny, to me,
And make me a bride of your own!
Or else for your sake my poor heart it will break,
And here I shall die all alone, alone,
And here I shall die all alone."
-I Must Live Alone, Old English Folk Song
