summertime bolds

I've been absent for so long, because my life has been a whirl. I've been busy with graduation, my birthday, and a trip to NYC. I finally have time to relax, and I'm ready to get back to blogging and the other things I love.

This summer is off to a great start, as I've already had so many great experiences. I've spent a lot of time learning photography from one of my closest friends, and just this week I'll start shadowing another wonderful photographer from my area. I find it hard to be still, because I have so many ideas for shoots and projects. 

I had my friend snap these pics last week when I spent the day downtown observing a senior portrait shoot. Even though it's summer, I still find myself leaning towards wearing jeans. But I did bring out my bright shoes and matching polish for the occasion.

What have you been doing with your summer so far? xx

Christmas and New Year's are over, and it seems the appeal of winter is gone with them. I'm cold all the time, and it can be hard to stay cheerful when every morning I wake up to endless miles of snow.

But just because it's practically Antarctica outside, doesn't mean I can't enjoy myself. I've been surrounding myself with my friends, and we've spent some days inside watching horror movie after horror movie, and others, outside braving the cold. There's a sort of beauty to the frost covered buildings and streets, and feeling the air so fresh and sharp can make you feel alive.

I ventured out with my friend today, who snapped some pictures for me. I've been loving my boyfriend jeans lately, because I feel like they add an edge to any outfit, and pairing them with a bright red top took my outfit from boring to bold.

Hope you're all having a lovely week. Keep your heads up, the winter can't last forever. xx
