Calling All Honeymooners

 Exploring what once was in a time where it is no longer. Imagining the life the buildings once had and the stories and secrets that they held.  Escaping your own reality and submerging yourself into another.  Abandoned to stand still and alone and slowly forgotten.

Good lawddddd I love me an adventure, and if it looks anything like the day pictured above I am one happy gal.  I have quite the fascination for abandoned spaces.  Not just warehouses or old buildings in city outskirts, but truly forgotten places.  When Erin asked if I'd be interested in visiting an abandoned honeymoon resort I couldn't get the word "duh" out fast enough.  Walking around I could just picture this place in all it's glory.  This hotel in it's prime must have been one hell of a site to see.  The space now has been trashed and raided with only a few rooms left partially in tact.  None the less you can get a good idea of what it must have been like to visit pre-graffiti days.  When i walk the grounds of a space like this my mind races with ideas of what it would have been like to live in that era and to have truly experienced all that once was.  That's the beauty of exploring a forgotten place, you only have your imagination to guide you through.

Fri-yay i have been waiting all week for you; time to let the weekend adventures commence.

Lets Talk About Shoes Baby

 

  An old friend/ coworker contacted my friend Erin and I a few months ago with the idea to shoot some of the new Fall/Winter styles that were going to be coming out for Messeca.  Let me just say the quality of materials they use are AMAZING!! And I'm not just saying that for shits and giggles because I'm always one to buy just a cheap pair of booties and wear them to death anyday.  These boots however have made me realize all the wrong i was doing by not looking at quality first.  My spending techniques have officially been changed since playing with these bad boys.  

Above are some of my favorite shots from the shoot.  (Follow Messeca over at @messecanyc for more photos from the shoot)  It was definitely interesting trying to focus on the shoes vs the clothing for once.  We styled the looks from the bottom up which is totally new for me. Once we started shooting everything seemed to just flow which is one of the main reasons I love working with Erin.  I understand what she's telling me before she says it and vise versa (sending computer high fives over to you Er Bear).  We couldn't be happier with the way everything turned out and an even greater feeling knowing that Casey loved the outcome!  Miss Casey you are doing one hell of a job over at Messeca and we can't wait to see what else you come up with!

On that note....happy friYAY babes!

Sheer Goodness

I stumbled across this brand PYLO a few months ago and pretty much fell in love.  And by love I mean I'm kind of obsessed and want to spend all my dollars here.  This top/dress/sheer amazingness combo I got on is one of my fave pieces.  Its a body suit with a sheer slip attached over top...how perfect could a slip be.  I hate when I buy a sheer slip and I'm like WTF am I going to wear underneath this thing.  And then the thought "oh I could just go nude under this" crosses my mind, but then I guess that's not too street appropriate is it?...whatever.  I threw on shorts with this bad boy but you could easily throw on a little skirt and head out for the night in this as well.  The fact that it has a bodysuit attached sold me on this number when I was thinking of buying it. 

 

Er bear and I got together one day after work to shoot this bad boy.  We played around in West Chester and I know you're probably thinking "oh the suburbs...that's cool...not."  But the town is actually really cute to explore if you're ever in the area.  We went on top of a parking garage and made some little kids uncomfortable until they left, and then shot around. The photos turned out better than I expected, and an even better end to the night was grabbing drinks afterwards.  Because who doesn't love sitting outside with frands drinking some cold brewskies. 

With summer in full swing I'm outside every chance I get and I'll be counting down the minutes today until I can get my butt home and then down the shore for the weekend! Gotta love summers at the beach.
