Ode to Grandma.*

This all started with a vintage sweater. Actually, this really started when the rain cleared for about 15 minutes and we thought we should take some pictures. At first we were planning on using a different dress that we wanted to pair with this vintage sweater - which is originally J's grandma's. It's about 50 years old and she wore it first, than J's mom and now finally J. It's a cute sweater, but it didn't really work with the other dress. One thing lead to another and we ended up in J's upstairs storage-closet and saw this dress, which is probably almost 10 years old. We had an outfit. We really wanted to go along with the 'grandma' theme and looked through J's mom jewelry. We found these beads, pearls, used some of her rings and an old gold watch. 

Once we were done with the hair and make-up and ready to shoot, it started not just raining, but pouring! So, we used my polka-dot umbrella that just went with the theme. In the end, we all ended up getting a little wet, the floor was a mess, but needless to say the pictures came out pretty cute.

*Not actually an ode...although photographs do have a certain poetry to them.

Do what you will.

Hey guys, so this outfit post is going to be very casual. This was mostly for comfort and to keep warm from the cold front that is currently invading Nor-Cal. I was going to wear jeans but I have these magical tights from Target that are a lot warmer than any pair of jeans I own. As you can tell in the photos I look very depressed. That's mainly because the weather-person said there was a very high chance that we were going to be experiencing SNOW! 


I was so excited; I've been waiting for it to snow for years now... hoping every winter that global-warming would screw-up our weather and rain white-fluff. Alas, this is not what happened. Instead, it rained for a while and than it was just really cold =(. It's 39 degrees right now, so the only thing I can do is watch Criminal Minds because I know if I step outside I will freeze. By the way, who else watches Criminal Minds? It's my new favorite obsession!

My Mind Keeps Spinning Closer And Closer To The Rain On The Roof.

Hello everyone! So today I tried to do a proper photo shoot, but it started to rain like crazy! So that ruined my plans, but couldn't help but take some photos... especially of my new awesome feather necklace which I freaking love! =) Put on some Mike Posner and enjoyed the rainy day painting my nails. -A

P.S Waka Flocka Flame has now made me end rain, rain, go away with that's what all my haters say.

Bonjour.

Bonjour tout le monde! Today was a very interesting day for us. We were prepared to do two photo shoots today, so we headed on over to our new favorite park. We got there only to get kicked out by the park ranger, telling us it was sunset and the park was closed. It was only 5, but it was a rainy day so the sun was never out! 

We were really disappointed and had to resort going to another-not-as-awesome park. We got there and in our 5-minute drive it had gotten pretty dark. We started to take pictures, but than noticed they weren't coming out nice because we needed the sunlight for the outfits. The three of us than huddled side by side with our umbrellas to discuss what we should post instead. We tried to think of something, but than wandered off-subject and started talking about an Indian show we like to watch Koffee with Karan and discussing the people that came on the show and the clothes and how lame Karan Johar is, but how we're secretly jealous of him. After 10 minutes of irrelevant topics we came up with writing about our day today. Tomorrow is another day!
