I think it can be under-valued in terms of nature's beauty. On one hand, we can see the barren forests as bleak and lifeless, but I always think it feels a bit eerie and magical when there's a fresh dusting of snow and a thin layer of ice on the ponds. The tree branches can have really interesting shapes and they all feel a bit haunted — I think there's some intrigue to that! Not to mention, a lot of the brush has interesting shape and color to it in the winter, making for a monochromatic, subtle wonderland. <span><a name='more'></a></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Just be careful to take note of where you're traipsing through — the first photo in this series ended up being a happy accident, as I plunged into the brush with my camera timer on, I was instantly caught and snagged by a couple of conniving bushes with unforgiving thorns on them! It took me 10 minutes + a kind stranger's assistance to free myself from them, and all the subsequent shots were taken *in front* of all the brush! But this capture from the very first burst ended up being the best one to go with!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MSn8wI0b4wU/X_yFmuSWi5I/AAAAAAAAN-k/8OGlrsE-vtY_6BQi-_u1riQtdtCYIEtEwCLcBGAsYHQ/s900/IMG_9284af.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="616" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MSn8wI0b4wU/X_yFmuSWi5I/AAAAAAAAN-k/8OGlrsE-vtY_6BQi-_u1riQtdtCYIEtEwCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_9284af.jpg" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u5UKGygoRYo/X_yFncsSXeI/AAAAAAAAN-0/vS6ti3DVt7slvylpGD527ql5W2nHIe9MQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/IMG_9319af.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u5UKGygoRYo/X_yFncsSXeI/AAAAAAAAN-0/vS6ti3DVt7slvylpGD527ql5W2nHIe9MQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_9319af.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br />Ryu Coat | Modcloth Earrings | Sperry Boots</td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1OrtZvt0Q8M/X_yFm3s6xzI/AAAAAAAAN-w/CSFYnqBOhcgBrJdtnUWkjuVAapx4KtNwQCLcBGAsYHQ/s900/IMG_9302af.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1OrtZvt0Q8M/X_yFm3s6xzI/AAAAAAAAN-w/CSFYnqBOhcgBrJdtnUWkjuVAapx4KtNwQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_9302af.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vQWB4FaiV8s/X_yFnnRTdKI/AAAAAAAAN-4/OaoTNeJlVv8ayfbm71PYhp-XkK3c47xCgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/IMG_9348af.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vQWB4FaiV8s/X_yFnnRTdKI/AAAAAAAAN-4/OaoTNeJlVv8ayfbm71PYhp-XkK3c47xCgCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_9348af.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SANxYqHL7do/X_yFmjtsIRI/AAAAAAAAN-o/vLV_Pz0h1vo3d6Q0UEtIjyLe-0MkVHQBwCLcBGAsYHQ/s900/IMG_9253af.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SANxYqHL7do/X_yFmjtsIRI/AAAAAAAAN-o/vLV_Pz0h1vo3d6Q0UEtIjyLe-0MkVHQBwCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_9253af.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Until Next Time, </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: center;">— The Lovely Red Fox</h2>the lovely red foxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18423792727138411670noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587639274747841517.post-52757134658874040392021-01-21T06:30:00.041-06:002021-01-21T06:30:05.253-06:00Midwinter Mood<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aDkottZBQb0/X_yD7cio1lI/AAAAAAAAN90/vJQyruxZjX4fYlzy2kX8QOa6sa1y2S5yACLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/IMG_9407aa.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aDkottZBQb0/X_yD7cio1lI/AAAAAAAAN90/vJQyruxZjX4fYlzy2kX8QOa6sa1y2S5yACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_9407aa.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>In the winter I always find some comfort in shooting a few more series at home, simply because of the cold. Sometimes I kid myself telling myself that it will take less time this way, but that's hardly ever the case. For this one I had to shift our Christmas tree to another room and empty out and re-style the shelves, so it probably took longer than if I had gone to the woods! Regardless, I've wanted to do an indoor shoot with candles for a while, so I'm glad I finally got to it!<span><a name='more'></a></span></div><div><br /></div><div>This scene was supposed to be for midwinter/ yule, and as I had mentioned in my last post, I'm quite a bit behind in execution on that, coming in at a full month later! But I had to post anyways because I really loved the aesthetic with my home-made yule crown made of pine branches and pinecones, as well as my velvet Anna Sui x ModCloth dress that I'm head over heels for. I got it second hand off Poshmark and could not be happier with it!!!</div><div><br /></div><div>Also, there's a hint in these images of things to come if you're paying very close attention...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cQMs4OBooUE/X_yD8f-TpkI/AAAAAAAAN98/tycUPyWsy8AutZLOjVecQPOHUJolXKrRQCLcBGAsYHQ/s900/IMG_9493af.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="699" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cQMs4OBooUE/X_yD8f-TpkI/AAAAAAAAN98/tycUPyWsy8AutZLOjVecQPOHUJolXKrRQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_9493af.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oV9iOh66wwU/X_yD9XgDzVI/AAAAAAAAN-A/7qXB9j1wCQI9KjaNTWGfz1GRRCS5p4JYwCLcBGAsYHQ/s900/IMG_9520af.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="636" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oV9iOh66wwU/X_yD9XgDzVI/AAAAAAAAN-A/7qXB9j1wCQI9KjaNTWGfz1GRRCS5p4JYwCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_9520af.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sOw7tm9B4iU/X_yEDVPHQII/AAAAAAAAN-M/oFkKJZrmo04kJODUjVAypP2qAgcS3_OxQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_9481a.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sOw7tm9B4iU/X_yEDVPHQII/AAAAAAAAN-M/oFkKJZrmo04kJODUjVAypP2qAgcS3_OxQCLcBGAsYHQ/w426-h640/IMG_9481a.jpg" width="426" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8XYehtDlrsw/X_yECGYAskI/AAAAAAAAN-I/kWLeKOK4BFYuFbymwwdmBOcuFvvffQOvgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_9464a.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8XYehtDlrsw/X_yECGYAskI/AAAAAAAAN-I/kWLeKOK4BFYuFbymwwdmBOcuFvvffQOvgCLcBGAsYHQ/w426-h640/IMG_9464a.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PnCZRNmP0os/X_yD7jWVUkI/AAAAAAAAN94/C9VjQPUoLAE3-olV_gZnxIpGKfaPZMxVgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/IMG_9461af.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PnCZRNmP0os/X_yD7jWVUkI/AAAAAAAAN94/C9VjQPUoLAE3-olV_gZnxIpGKfaPZMxVgCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_9461af.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kmprq6-14Gs/X_yU_eimSvI/AAAAAAAAN_I/m3_9d-CRY0kpvIfn_ZNfLiIxRi-hEyx0ACLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/IMG_9542aFF.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kmprq6-14Gs/X_yU_eimSvI/AAAAAAAAN_I/m3_9d-CRY0kpvIfn_ZNfLiIxRi-hEyx0ACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_9542aFF.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Until Next Time, </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: center;">— The Lovely Red Fox</h2>the lovely red foxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18423792727138411670noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587639274747841517.post-53088438863972225912021-01-14T06:30:00.084-06:002021-01-14T06:30:02.063-06:00A December Hiatus<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-or1bEoC48Sg/X_yB8JuA6HI/AAAAAAAAN9c/2ysZuOiX2Q4EmG3Hwt5pzF8X-kzv1sRUwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_9139.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-or1bEoC48Sg/X_yB8JuA6HI/AAAAAAAAN9c/2ysZuOiX2Q4EmG3Hwt5pzF8X-kzv1sRUwCLcBGAsYHQ/w426-h640/IMG_9139.jpg" width="426" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kUN5OF8FK1A/X_yB6KUDBYI/AAAAAAAAN9Y/n34YxLHDoGsSg_u-zvFYtwrRELu1KVY8gCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_9158.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kUN5OF8FK1A/X_yB6KUDBYI/AAAAAAAAN9Y/n34YxLHDoGsSg_u-zvFYtwrRELu1KVY8gCLcBGAsYHQ/w426-h640/IMG_9158.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If you're a frequent reader of this blog you may have noticed a wee hiatus that I've taken for the last month and a half. In one of my last posts I mentioned the ways in which the pandemic has seeped into the crevices of our lives, and the emotional marathon that this whole past year has been. To be totally truthful I hadn't intended to take a break on here— much less a month+ long hiatus, but here we are. The holiday season often holds some challenges for me: I have<span><a name='more'></a></span> worked retail for a good chunk of my adult life, and the holiday season always has a way of sucking you into a black hole when the holiday season hits and you work retail. But honestly that has become less and less of an issue in the past few years, and for one of the first times in recent years I had anticipated this might be a year I could actually look forward to the holidays — and then of course the pandemic hit. This year was emotionally tolling and weird in so many ways, and yet I hadn't anticipated the odd mix of feelings I would endure this holiday. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Obviously the Christmas season couldn't happen 'like normal' this year, but through all the other holidays I found some solace in decorating or doing something special regardless — celebrating at home and whatnot. And most of the holidays were truly ok like that — and to be clear I am totally thankful for the Christmas that my husband and I celebrated here at home together: we made a special meal and ate by candlelight and did the tree and all that. And it was special and a touch magical. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But the season itself... was honestly hard. It was hard not being with family for Christmas, and this season that usually adds warmth to the descent into winter just couldn't be present this year. It felt odd to say the least. And to be totally frank, I haven't been on here much simply because I was truly depressed for a lot of December, despite trying to go through the motions. I had shoots planned, and this one was the only one that actually came to fruition, and even this was a rough one... and I'm posting it mid January if that says anything! I honestly just forgot how to function there for a little bit.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It's happening slowly, but I am making every effort to get back on the horse, find myself again, and give myself some grace in doing so at the same time. I have some exciting projects and developments on the horizon in the coming months, and I'm very excited to share them on here when they're all finalized. So keep an ear to the ground here and I'll be back next week with another winter shoot for you guys. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thanks for reading!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rWxzGt4VtZw/X_yBzKqP0cI/AAAAAAAAN9Q/WSdoI1LyHOs-l8ijmMu35T16qzf3AmfsACLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/IMG_9122a.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rWxzGt4VtZw/X_yBzKqP0cI/AAAAAAAAN9Q/WSdoI1LyHOs-l8ijmMu35T16qzf3AmfsACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_9122a.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br />Madewell Denim | Modcloth Mug | Francesca's Vest | Old Navy Sweater | Sorel Boots</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rJn5XmK6BOY/X_yB0UoRGvI/AAAAAAAAN9U/V4DhV0rWlskIZSBOYCFqu9MNTtZcGFrPACLcBGAsYHQ/s900/IMG_9213a.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rJn5XmK6BOY/X_yB0UoRGvI/AAAAAAAAN9U/V4DhV0rWlskIZSBOYCFqu9MNTtZcGFrPACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_9213a.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QqE0Ihdb02w/X_yByWHXLxI/AAAAAAAAN9M/hegBM7tRIqshOcvjAaRpewRuzWkwDgagACLcBGAsYHQ/s900/IMG_9085a.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QqE0Ihdb02w/X_yByWHXLxI/AAAAAAAAN9M/hegBM7tRIqshOcvjAaRpewRuzWkwDgagACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_9085a.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Until Next Time, </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: center;">— The Lovely Red Fox</h2>the lovely red foxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18423792727138411670noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587639274747841517.post-60024809876011777562020-11-30T06:30:00.001-06:002020-11-30T06:30:00.305-06:00The Last Vestiges of Fall<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cPfnSPreCtE/X7FaFPlPvyI/AAAAAAAAN6E/HoCKenSbT3gMfgTSUVojAGpk0n1eQpOWACLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/IMG_7732f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cPfnSPreCtE/X7FaFPlPvyI/AAAAAAAAN6E/HoCKenSbT3gMfgTSUVojAGpk0n1eQpOWACLcBGAsYHQ/w426-h640/IMG_7732f.jpg" width="426" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ibk_iF9DdRA/X7FaFmaLgPI/AAAAAAAAN6M/lEda7AwWCPw6jKWum6vHpmogNcuGeEGngCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/IMG_7769f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ibk_iF9DdRA/X7FaFmaLgPI/AAAAAAAAN6M/lEda7AwWCPw6jKWum6vHpmogNcuGeEGngCLcBGAsYHQ/w426-h640/IMG_7769f.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The day I shot these images was a bit of an anomaly. The week before had been a chilly one — the one that broke the will of many a fragile leaf clinging to their spindly branches. But yet, this week it was warm, sometimes hitting 70+ degrees. So on the morning that I traipsed out to the forest to find some ruby colored backdrops, I was surprised to discover that the moment had passed. Autumn had fallen from the trees and littered the ground, leaving the landscape barren and ready to accept winter into its folds. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But I was lucky enough to discover the last vestiges of fall clinging on for one more number before joining their leafy brethren on the forest floor. So here's to autumn, may we once more appreciate your beauty before taking the plunge into pine needles and blankets of snow!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PHPV8yYnJMo/X7FaFM0Lr-I/AAAAAAAAN6I/HhS2a1Nk0qQFLmkfHqa98mbER3okBp5tQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/IMG_7615f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PHPV8yYnJMo/X7FaFM0Lr-I/AAAAAAAAN6I/HhS2a1Nk0qQFLmkfHqa98mbER3okBp5tQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_7615f.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br />Zara Suede Leggings | Morning Lavender Sweater<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DEG4I6OV8GM/X7FaDyb7tTI/AAAAAAAAN54/Vs9GikxUTj45Wg-uPQHhGPNYMIoKo2NCQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1016/IMG_7454f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1016" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DEG4I6OV8GM/X7FaDyb7tTI/AAAAAAAAN54/Vs9GikxUTj45Wg-uPQHhGPNYMIoKo2NCQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_7454f.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zLJ40b4qKNA/X7FaDbI3KvI/AAAAAAAAN50/C8eS8jGuWH4U3mcenXERRwkS6VYwiUxcwCLcBGAsYHQ/s900/IMG_7575f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zLJ40b4qKNA/X7FaDbI3KvI/AAAAAAAAN50/C8eS8jGuWH4U3mcenXERRwkS6VYwiUxcwCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_7575f.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XlNE4O6eoi4/X7FaE3d-1eI/AAAAAAAAN6A/vzi-t6ojWgwp2IbYidMxOJFY0p25W9uFgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/IMG_7683f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XlNE4O6eoi4/X7FaE3d-1eI/AAAAAAAAN6A/vzi-t6ojWgwp2IbYidMxOJFY0p25W9uFgCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_7683f.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w7BwLFOl2lM/X7FaEGbyQtI/AAAAAAAAN58/nzCVa58PQsUyQJvfzRRtRHmINfcpE1rGgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/IMG_7571f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w7BwLFOl2lM/X7FaEGbyQtI/AAAAAAAAN58/nzCVa58PQsUyQJvfzRRtRHmINfcpE1rGgCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_7571f.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Until Next Time, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: center;">— The Lovely Red Fox</h2><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /> <p></p>the lovely red foxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18423792727138411670noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587639274747841517.post-8918102276852518832020-11-26T06:30:00.001-06:002020-11-26T06:30:07.592-06:00Thankfulness and Squash Egg Pie<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5Al2BIcxWXI/X7FRBybHXAI/AAAAAAAAN5M/u2OsoWX8QvIRmLhopD3cN_pvMI7dQ5N8ACLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/IMG_7927f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5Al2BIcxWXI/X7FRBybHXAI/AAAAAAAAN5M/u2OsoWX8QvIRmLhopD3cN_pvMI7dQ5N8ACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_7927f.jpg" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>So far this year has been a pretty intense year for the books. From the virus to wildfires out west, to a major election in the US and more, we've spanned what seems like a decade's worth of major events in the course of nine months. I don't know what's behind door #10, but I can reflect on what I've been thankful for in this wild new world we're all living in. </p><p>I'm thankful for my wonderful husband and his unwavering strength through this troubling time, the laughs we share scrolling through memes on the couch at 1am, and that even though it's been hard to find "fun" things to do during quarantine, that that has been our only real challenge. I'm thankful for our health and our assuredness in each other to continue taking every precaution we can in this pandemic to keep each other and ourselves safe. I'm thankful for having an online business that requires very little in person contact save for making trips to the postal service drop off window (and I'm very thankful for our postal service!!!), and I'm very thankful that no one I know personally has had a severe case of the virus, that I know of. I'm also very thankful for our friends and family who we've been able to keep in touch with despite the distance. And finally, I've been so thankful for the little things — the pie pumpkins on the windowsill, the quiet stroll through the woods. And the time to reflect. </p><p>I already worked a great deal from home before the pandemic hit, so the shift into isolation didn't hit all at once for me. But over the months, and through the marathon and many seasons that this pandemic has been, it's slowly seeped into all the cracks and grooves around me. The desire so badly to be with other people again, but the overarching duty that sits in my heart that knows it's best for everyone if I just sit tight and hold on. So I've channelled the energy in other ways — working and coming up with new directions for my little creative hive here, and doing little things like decorating the porch and making a quiche. </p><p>We're headed into some pretty dreary days here in the Midwest — being that it's a region that I've lived in all my life, I am well acquainted with the reality of a Chicago winter. As much as I'd love to pretend the cold days aren't coming, I know they are. And I know that these things I'm thankful for I'll need to cling that much closer to to get through the next few months. But I also know that before long, it will be spring again, and we'll get to see the leafy buds poking out of the dirt, and hear the birds chirping their happy songs. I long for the first blooms and that first 50 degree day, as we head through some of the last 50 degree days of fall. </p><p>So thank you for reading.</p><p>Stay healthy, and stay safe.</p><p><br /></p><span><a name='more'></a></span><p><br /></p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q4WekZ73FXU/X7FRCRNdCnI/AAAAAAAAN5U/WeSSXnh6z9Q5BzKqL-zu8-BzcVsyQdwkQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/IMG_7946f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q4WekZ73FXU/X7FRCRNdCnI/AAAAAAAAN5U/WeSSXnh6z9Q5BzKqL-zu8-BzcVsyQdwkQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_7946f.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jvHn0yMwADY/X7FRC2kEdkI/AAAAAAAAN5Y/UFiXOP8PwkMoxKRJVkMebNdf0w1YBxrkACLcBGAsYHQ/s1360/IMG_8027f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1360" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jvHn0yMwADY/X7FRC2kEdkI/AAAAAAAAN5Y/UFiXOP8PwkMoxKRJVkMebNdf0w1YBxrkACLcBGAsYHQ/w424-h640/IMG_8027f.jpg" width="424" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ge4O4GdBKSc/X7FRDL7j7uI/AAAAAAAAN5c/lHCNZ1DpcFMAdcKVdJEgT_3-9VzL7pYnQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/IMG_8028f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ge4O4GdBKSc/X7FRDL7j7uI/AAAAAAAAN5c/lHCNZ1DpcFMAdcKVdJEgT_3-9VzL7pYnQCLcBGAsYHQ/w426-h640/IMG_8028f.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dwfEx0e16tc/X7FRCU4b_ZI/AAAAAAAAN5Q/V5ntQNXBczQ4G4TwcZVDki4aTkdMQg9nwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/IMG_7962f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dwfEx0e16tc/X7FRCU4b_ZI/AAAAAAAAN5Q/V5ntQNXBczQ4G4TwcZVDki4aTkdMQg9nwCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_7962f.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Until Next Time, </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;">— The Lovely Red Fox</h2>the lovely red foxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18423792727138411670noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587639274747841517.post-59871768981372264872020-11-24T06:30:00.001-06:002020-11-24T06:30:02.794-06:00Nature's Paint Palette <p style="text-align: center;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fmMqUP8tyV8/X7FNvDcxi0I/AAAAAAAAN4M/YjRiFTaLrd0Y2BzeaOYgpQs_r3K1fdMggCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/IMG_6661f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fmMqUP8tyV8/X7FNvDcxi0I/AAAAAAAAN4M/YjRiFTaLrd0Y2BzeaOYgpQs_r3K1fdMggCLcBGAsYHQ/w426-h640/IMG_6661f.jpg" width="426" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NoF18laDHdw/X7FNw5PK6sI/AAAAAAAAN4Y/RVkCEhSsVdMMF39BSQsfNqgQpr6WK2wyACLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/IMG_6779f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NoF18laDHdw/X7FNw5PK6sI/AAAAAAAAN4Y/RVkCEhSsVdMMF39BSQsfNqgQpr6WK2wyACLcBGAsYHQ/w426-h640/IMG_6779f.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">The compendium of colors that adorn the forest in the fall is always a thrilling delight.

I spent a lot of time during quarantine weighing how I've been spending my time and the ways in which I've been spreading myself too thin. I've also been thinking about what is important to me, and what might make things a little easier for me. </p><p style="text-align: left;">For the whole history of this blog, fashion editorial photo stories have always been the part I've been most passionate about. Yes, I do enjoy a fun food post here and there, and playing around with some themed posts this summer has been fun as well. But I kind of came to a realization that if I have a certain number of posts a month, things get a little overwhelming and it gets more difficult to deliver quality for my editorial shoots. </p><span><a name='more'></a></span><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-O6ivukboRZQ/X42qr4PFthI/AAAAAAAANww/rf8SzErBXoslf8Bn0L8xQOhyaw2eNoTzQCLcBGAsYHQ/IMG_5978f.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-O6ivukboRZQ/X42qr4PFthI/AAAAAAAANww/rf8SzErBXoslf8Bn0L8xQOhyaw2eNoTzQCLcBGAsYHQ/w427-h640/IMG_5978f.jpg" width="427" /></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qc3PtQnSuvA/X42qr-nuc7I/AAAAAAAANw0/2Gde4Q6yxq0rlCaks0LGLNJu06sXWfI_QCLcBGAsYHQ/IMG_6005f.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qc3PtQnSuvA/X42qr-nuc7I/AAAAAAAANw0/2Gde4Q6yxq0rlCaks0LGLNJu06sXWfI_QCLcBGAsYHQ/w427-h640/IMG_6005f.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: left;">I think I've hesitated to really fully focus on these editorial photo stories because I fear that people may come to this blog looking for those other types of posts — and I don't want anyone to lose interest or stop reading. But really, with a part time job on top of this, managing two online stores, running outfit series on my Instagram and just generally managing my Instagram... you can see it's already becoming a lot for a scatter-brained person to handle and I haven't even mentioned everything yet! My work and personal lives just start to bleed into one another — because I love what I do, and at what point does a hobby become a profession? When you spend a certain amount of time on it or when it garners enough income to be justified as such? Either way I'm in a weird middle grey area on all that and I need to start making it a little clearer to myself I think!</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">I also had some time vacationing in the north woods and working on a special project for some family earlier this month, and while I'm in the midst of dropping a ton of content here at the end of the month, I'm honestly just pooped and my organization at the beginning of this month was all. over. the. place. </p><p style="text-align: left;">I'm working on a new direction with all this, suffice to say. I'm excited and a little nervous, but eager to share with you guys hopefully soon as I work through more of the little details!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TjG7IRUMtu0/X42q3Rm4XWI/AAAAAAAANw8/xpBB8iCIEy8lTxzorMgcpF0lxgxCw3vsQCLcBGAsYHQ/IMG_6050f.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TjG7IRUMtu0/X42q3Rm4XWI/AAAAAAAANw8/xpBB8iCIEy8lTxzorMgcpF0lxgxCw3vsQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_6050f.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ahWUeEL7k8Y/X42q7QTJchI/AAAAAAAANxE/CDseM-nvmXEJ9J7hMpLb83P5_u2SnBGDgCLcBGAsYHQ/IMG_5990f.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ahWUeEL7k8Y/X42q7QTJchI/AAAAAAAANxE/CDseM-nvmXEJ9J7hMpLb83P5_u2SnBGDgCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_5990f.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9ZBlvt5mXh4/X42q8c9lBJI/AAAAAAAANxM/98bzMx1BzocAgrT9l4DszGriJFX9pSdMQCLcBGAsYHQ/IMG_6045f.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="600" data-original-width="900" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9ZBlvt5mXh4/X42q8c9lBJI/AAAAAAAANxM/98bzMx1BzocAgrT9l4DszGriJFX9pSdMQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_6045f.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kZ3EiJqJXzY/X42q9akbrtI/AAAAAAAANxQ/2EXO2rDSrhw-GtYEzS8D82Q5_Ecj_2wFwCLcBGAsYHQ/IMG_6026f.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kZ3EiJqJXzY/X42q9akbrtI/AAAAAAAANxQ/2EXO2rDSrhw-GtYEzS8D82Q5_Ecj_2wFwCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_6026f.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Until Next Time, </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;">— The Lovely Red Fox</h2>the lovely red foxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18423792727138411670noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6587639274747841517.post-16930558469891777002020-10-23T06:30:00.001-05:002020-10-23T06:30:02.406-05:00Hiking in the North Woods<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3Bv4l1_rySc/X422RAYeD4I/AAAAAAAAN1U/38-Q38mD67ARLDWlzpgCtcTfSNiJhPZ3ACLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/IMG_6169f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3Bv4l1_rySc/X422RAYeD4I/AAAAAAAAN1U/38-Q38mD67ARLDWlzpgCtcTfSNiJhPZ3ACLcBGAsYHQ/w427-h640/IMG_6169f.jpg" width="427" /></a> <a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4hWc9Xdvcw4/X422NeH1xrI/AAAAAAAAN00/8JbwqvjE-ygdqwZhibnJXN6P6mPLRa7oACLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/IMG_5684.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1350" data-original-width="900" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4hWc9Xdvcw4/X422NeH1xrI/AAAAAAAAN00/8JbwqvjE-ygdqwZhibnJXN6P6mPLRa7oACLcBGAsYHQ/w426-h640/IMG_5684.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hiking in the north woods of Wisconsin and Upper Peninsula Michigan as the leaves are changing colors is truly an enchanting experience.

So since my theme this month is apples, I thought the perfect thing for me to do was make one out of the classic character of Snow White, complete with poison apple! </div><div><br /></div><div>While not every piece I chose was vintage, a couple of them were thrifted!

But it was also a means to continue collecting vintage goodies past my breaking point. I LOVE collecting old things that have some sort of beautiful or interesting quality, but at some point I hit the limit on filling our home with knick knacks! I've filled so many of the surfaces in our home to their 'healthy capacity' as I like to think of it, and yet I don't want to stop hunting for gorgeous old things! So in a way, it was a way for me to scoop up all the cool little vintage things and just be able to help them get to their next home.<span><a name='more'></a></span><div><br /></div><div>And as we see in the movie The Little Mermaid, perhaps I run more than the red hair parallel to Ariel in that I've essentially got a treasure trove of old things stored up to admire! </div><div><br /></div><div>So today I've rounded up five of my favorite mermaid-y vintage goodies in my treasure trove to share with you!</div></div><div><br /></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qOlXki6Vc4s/XzGMenSLMDI/AAAAAAAANg0/R0rtySq1ONE0x-iumsNITM3DbHqfoMcEgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1920/Little-mermaid-1080p-disneyscreencaps.com-1684.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="450" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qOlXki6Vc4s/XzGMenSLMDI/AAAAAAAANg0/R0rtySq1ONE0x-iumsNITM3DbHqfoMcEgCLcBGAsYHQ/w800-h450/Little-mermaid-1080p-disneyscreencaps.com-1684.jpg" width="800" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Ariel%27s_Secret_Grotto" target="_blank">Screen shot from Disney's The Little Mermaid</a></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">A Mirror and a Comb</h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Items mermaids are often associated with are those of vanity — many a mermaid sighting involved a lone mermaid spotted looking into a hand mirror and running a comb through her long locks.

I was pretty excited to order the special edition vinyl she released for the first week, and I can't wait until it finally ships out in November!! Until then, I've been listening to the album on Spotify, and it is A MOOD. I love it, and I can't help but love the experience of editing to it. I'm always really passionate about what music sets the right tone while I'm editing shoots — listening to the right music helps solidify the vibe I'm trying to go for for a setting or outfit. And this shoot is definitely synonymous with the song <i>seven</i> off her new album. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">If you're feeling this little mind field trip with me, give that song a listen while you scroll through this week's fairytale photo story:</div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I'm not entirely sure when it originated, or if it's the way other people experience life, but I tend to view the world through a lens. I process concepts visually, and am constantly going through life through a visual filter. I see visual patterns in the world, and am always layering some mood into my current experience. <br />

<br />
Not too long ago I saw somewhere online the debate over some humans not having an inner dialogue, or rather, they couldn't hear themselves talking in their heads, still others couldn't conjure up images in their heads. If you said, imagine a beach and a palm tree, some people will envision a specific image of a palm tree in their heads, perhaps from a prior experience or an image they'd seen before, but nonetheless, an actual image of a palm tree comes to mind, and they could describe it. Others could not, unless they actually went and found an image of a palm tree. I wonder how this plays into different people being able to see 'a vision', like when someone can imagine how a new house would look if it was painted another color, and their partner can't "see it" until it's done.<br />
<br />
I wonder if there's some sort of cognitive difference in humans that enables this or hinders it, and I wonder how it affects the ways we interact in the world and with each other.<br />
<br />

<br />
I've always had a visual mind. When I was a kid, someone might tell me to draw a bunny. I could envision all the parts of the bunny in my mind — the ears, the tail, the wiggly little nose, and I could make that appear on paper with a few lines. My mother would remark that she didn't know how I could just do that without seeing the bunny in front of me.<br />
<br />
When it comes to the inner dialogue question, I wondered if I talked to myself in my head or not. I concluded that I do, but I also rely <i>heavily</i> on the visual side of things for communication with myself. If I start to think to myself, "what should I eat for lunch?", I may quickly ask myself that question, but to come up with the answer I have to mentally picture each of the different food options available and if they will be an apt answer to my inquiry. I'll visualize the plate with the tamales on it, me eating them with a fork, the sour cream on the side — I'll mentally experience that whole scenario before deciding to choose it.<br />

<br />
And it becomes a which came first, the chicken or the egg situation when I think about the way I interact with the world now. If I'm on a walk along the lakeshore I will think in visual frames, for example, this set of trees would frame an image nicely, etc. I have to imagine most people probably aren't acutely aware of the 100s of different visual patterns like this they pass by in a day. I start to wonder, when did this start? Did I start doing this <i>because</i> I am a photographer and I'm looking for moments to capture, or did I become a photographer because I was compelled to capture all these little moments? <br />
<br />
Regardless, for almost as long as I can remember, I've sought to frame my life experiences in ways that could be tied up and reflected upon, like a story or a movie. I might look back on a time with a certain mood or emotion attached to it, and I have very distinct memories where I put myself in the third person and just have a picture of myself in my mind: walking down the sidewalk as the storm clouds gather overhead, clapping with foreboding rumbles. A deep twang of beauty and fear and awe accompany this memory — it is melancholy to me, but also a feeling of love in an unexplained way. <br />

<br />
All this is to say: I think in pictures. At any given moment, my brain might be drawing up some new visual arrangement of light and color, of worlds that only exist in my imagination. We're driving to the DMV to get our licenses renewed and pass a highway onramp... my mind wanders into the fresh swath of wildflowers exploding in color in a completely inaccessible patch of earth surrounded by highway. And I imagine what they might smell like, what shapes their shadows will cast come the final hours of daylight this evening, and imagine fingers running through them and soft acoustic strings being plucked in the summer breeze. I daydream in moods, you see.<br />
<br />
And more than anything I want to reconstruct them and share them in any way I can. Because they bring me peace and solace in an otherwise overwhelming and hard to deal with world. And because I can't turn them off, even if I wanted to. It is my inclination to romanticize the mundane, and I search for the exquisite in our world and under our noses. It's things right in front of us, that we have to open our eyes to to truly appreciate. Fairytales have always been running through my head — and I'm just now learning how to translate them into something shareable.<br />

As part of my new monthly theme idea, today I'm sharing some mermaid illustration patterns with you lovelies in four different colors! These can be used for phone backgrounds or other fun things and I'll be using them in some other fun things to come :)<br />
<br />
Stay tuned in in this space to see some fun things I'm whipping up at the end of this summer! :)<br />

This month's loose theme is mermaids, so it makes sense that I would reflect that in this week's outfit post with a shimmery mermaid inspired set by the seashore. This area where I shot for this week is one of my most favorite little stretches of rock and beach in my town, because it's covered with cascading blooms of so many different shades! In almost every season this little patch of wonderful is a new swirl of beauty to drink in, and as of late it has been a whirlpool of pinks, yellows and creams — and I love it so!</div>
