Time to Play Catch up

 Well it has indeed been quite some time.  My bad!  I believe it's been almost a year now, but I believe this was a good year to have to myself and purely focus.  I've done some amazing things and had some eye opening experiences since I last posted.  Everything from going to New York and Atlanta to work for the apparel markets, to having surgery on my foot; it has definitely been a busy year.  So since I can't go into major detail for risk of boring you, I figured I would share just a few photos compiled from a number of sources.  Enjoy!

 1 & 2) Backstage of photo shoot for fashion portfolio, pictures courtesy of Morgan Shields.  3, 4, & 5) Final picture for Emmagregory Designs, pictures courtesy of Madison Shields Photography. 6) Gotta take a touristy photo in NYC. 7) Briefly meeting Whitney Port at Coterie in NYC. 8) I'm not going to deny that I dressed up for the release of the final Harry Potter movie.  9) It would only be fitting to get Butterbeer and Quidditch cupcakes for my 20th Birthday.

I will be back later this week with an outfit post to continue this new start of actually posting things on my blog... crazy concept right?!
Until then, mischief managed.

 

the countdown starts

This summer, for me, has been extremely packed and crazy.  Between work, my friends, and my side projects I've created for myself, there has barely been a moment to relax.  I have only watched one full episode of Wipeout, just to give you an idea (and if you have never watched Wipeout on abc, you've been deprived of a real ab work out). 

Even with all the business going on, this past week, I started getting this feeling that I couldn't identify.  It started with wanting to find new restaraunts that I've never been to, and ended with me going to a consultation appointment at my salon for dying my hair!  (Still debating the latter...)  As I talked to one of my close friends, and then my sister about the same thing, I realized that haunting feeling is restlessness.  With all the pretty big changes I am making in my life, I'm waiting for them to have some major effect on everything else.  Especially after finally deciding what I want to and where I want to go, I'm ready to begin all those things now! 

This past year, some one told me the patience she had to have while waiting for their boyfriend (now fiance) to "court" her was one of the hardest things she had ever done.  She also claimed it was the most important thing she had ever learned.

I could definitely take a lesson from her at this point.

Last thing, promise.  Here's just a few pictures, a couple from Norman Jean Roy, and most of them from, my favorite, Teen Vogue!

Happy Hump Day (:
