a vintage photo shoot

I got asked to model for a photo shoot, by my dear friend Kat from Always and Forever Photography.  I absolutely adore Kat's photography, not only is she the sweetest and so fun to be around, but you see little bits of her in every picture she takes, and I love that. I love when you immediately know who is play the piano without even turning around, because you know the sound their music makes, or you see a painting and instantly you know who created it just by the strokes of the paint, it is that way with Kat's photography. I remember the first time I visited her blog she had posted a family photo session. Everyone was in pj's outside in the most glorious tent made of old quilts, playing board games as the sun went down. It was the most beautiful family shoot I had ever seen and I knew in that moment when I have my little family someday, she will be taking our family pics! She has such a wonderful way of making you feel so comfortable before she ever snaps a picture and incorporates the little things you love into the pictures, whether it is old records or perfume bottles or your grandma's quilt.

Kat asked if we could incorporate a vintage feel to the makeup, hair and clothing for the shoot, and I was so excited about the theme she was creating, I think I brought my whole closet with me the day of the shoot! We both love anything vintage and the little antique shop near her house agreed to let us spend the afternoon among their old things, dressing up and taking pictures. SO excited to share a few with you! For the rest of the shoot and more photography by Kat, stop by her blog!

Wish list

A manicure...this one to be exact!

 

Wool felt coasters, I am not familair with the site that sells them and I think that is the
only thing holding me back from purchasing these!









This Mad Love Navajo Throw Sweater has been on my wishlist for a while. It is 50% off at Edge of Urge
and is now hanging in my closet. Favorite purchase of 2013...so far!
 

Nars Andy Warhol Edie Gift Set. I love the colors. I love the packaging.

These pillow cases made from vintage quilts!

Red Carpet Makeup Trends

I love watching the first few red carpet appearances of the year. It gives so much insight into the coming trends, especially in makeup. These were my personally favorites from the Golden Globes!



I always love her makeup and this is no exception. I am noticing
 heavier liner everywhere and she pulls off the look beautifully!
Paired with the subtle cheeks and a nude lip, I think is it dramatic and bold.
 

This look seems so Audrey Hepburn to me.  I love the light berry lip,
neutral eyes, and strong brows...it just works with her pixie cut.

Nicole matched her eyeshadow to her dress and I love how youthful and
fun it turned out to be!

2013=BRIGHT

How great is this lipstick? I feel like NARS Heat Wave would be very close to this shade.
Oh and is Julianne Hough's new haircut not the cutest? SERIOUSLY!

 

So excited to embrace the brights this year brings!
