I'm in this month's 24/7 in Skirt! magazine. This is the first time I've ever done a photo shoot in my life. The photographer, Melinda, was such a blast to work with. She sent me an out-take from the photo shoot, of which Milly says is so me. I guess that makes me a goofball.
It hasn't exactly been rainy over here in Savannah, yet I am still drawn to the new umbrella styles over at Pare Umbrella. I've been looking for an elegant black umbrella and I'm loving this Mary Poppin's style one. I love the silouette the ruffles create when the umbrella is closed. It comes in three colors, all of which are quite tempting.
Here are some other styles I also have my eyes on:
I feel like I lived a whole lifetime in this one little week. The past seven days have been a roller coaster of confidence, frustration, giving up on myself, disappointment, illness, drinking, encouragement, extreme joy, research and rest.
Sometimes you are so concerned with the end result you miss out on what you are really here for. I kept saying to myself I just had to get through this one thing and I kept missing out on the experience. I mean, isn't this why I am here - because I love art, enjoy researching and have an intense curiosity? I kept letting it go right past without ever taking it in because I was so scared this path wouldn't take me where I want to go.
It was my unwillingness to take in the moment, to breath in and experience it all that led me to my spiral of frustration this past week. Everything was piling upon me and getting so hard that I forgot to take a second and asses my goals and the situation. Living in the moment and accepting the experience is something I need to learn to do, especially through tough times.
So here I sit, drinking my tea, making an effort to commit to my dreams and to school. I have no idea where this experience will take me, but I will enjoy the walk down the path.
After growing quite fed up with not being able to post to blogger for several days, I decided to find a new home for blogging. So here we are, fresh place and fresh start.
For the past year I have been "collecting" doors. I never got around to organizing the images until a few days ago. You can find a small selection of my current collection here. I don't know when I'll get a chance to add the rest, but at least I started getting them up.
What do you collect?
