The girl with the smiling eyes

I've been really bad at this "updating the blog every week"
thing. BUT my excuse is reasonable, seeing as the last couple
weeks have been my busiest work wise, and I've been a
little sleep deprived. So now (finally) a post:


A few weeks ago I met a couple who owned a blue vintage car.
I asked if they'd be willing to let me use it in a photo shoot
sometime, and they said yes!
While visiting a local shop I found a cute blue + white striped
dress from the sixties that I knew would go perfectly.
My good friend Bethany had wanted to do a vintage shoot so
we picked a time, I did her hair + makeup and we had
ourselves a fine, fun time taking photos.


























These next few photos we took the same day out in a sunflower field.










You can view all of the photos from the shoot here: Flickr.

macaroons

I take a fancy to French things.
The first time I had a French macaroon was when I attempted to make a batch at home. It didn't go as well as I intended. In fact, it tasted nothing like a real macaroon. I have a lot to learn when it comes to baking any sort of dessert that isn't cookies or cake.


"Clair de lune" is one of my favorite classical pieces. It's one of those songs that is able to transport me to another time and place, where I forget about the crazy things in life for a little while and just day dream. Too bad the dream only lasts for a short time.

C'est la vie...
