Busy Busy Monday


I have so much to do this week! I have tons of headband orders to keep me busy (which isn't really a bad thing), homework galore, and just tons of little things that I have been putting off. I'm so excited that I have this coming up Monday off though! Thank you Labor Day! No school or work! Maybe that'll help me get caught up with everything!

Happy Monday!

Zombie Photo Shoot



This is the funnest "client" in the history of clients. You may kind of recognize him from a shoot I did with him about a month ago, minus the blood. Yes, this is Corbin McDavitt! Corbin is an inspiring stand up comedian and he wanted to take some promo shots so he can make posters and promote his stand up act! I haven't had the chance to see him preform yet, but I want too so badly! I hear he's great!

The reason why he chose to be all bloody and "zombie attacked, apocalypse " it's a spin off of the saying "Knock em dead, kid." which I thought was pretty clever and a new take on things. It was a funny, bloody shoot which is what we were both going for.


It was definitely an eventful shoot! About the time that Corbin had put the blood in his mouth and let it slowly drip out, the cops showed up. I guess looking like you were just mauled in downtown Laurel get's people worried. After Corbin explained to the cops what we were doing and that we didn't mean to upset anyone or do anything wrong, the cops kind of laughed, so we packed our things (because it was starting to rain) and left. I loved every second of it!

Magical Finds

I found this magical painting in a pile on the side of the road! I couldn't believe my eyes when I walked past and saw this beautiful painting laying there! The frame is all beaten up, but with a brand new frame and a little cleaning up, it'll be just like new even though it's dated from 1980! I kind of have a tiny obsession for owls so this is just amazing. I can't wait for it to be hanging up in my room! I love it so much!

Also, ever since I started making headbands, my button collection has sky rocketed! It still has a long way to go, but I'm very pleased with the progress that it's made so far! Buttons are such an adorable decoration.

Happy Weekend!

Crushcrushcrush



I'm totally crushing on black&white photos all over again. These lovely ones are of Twiggy, Marlyn Monroe, and Audrey Hepburn. Having a conversation with Ryan about our love of these beautiful people really re-lighted my passion and love. I have black&white photo's all over my room! I just think they're incredibly magical! One (of the many) that I have hanging in my room is this:

I absolutely adore it!
I have been so busy and stressed out this week that I thought I would step back and look at something positive that has happened! And a rekindled love is definitely a positive thing in my book! What is something that has been rekindled in your life? I'd like to know!


Have an inspired week!

New Nephew


This is my new little nephew, Louigi! He is the most precious little Schnauzer puppy in the history of puppies! I love him so much and I've only been around him twice! He's so chill and completely content all the time! He reminds me of a little bear for some reason. My uncle bought him from my friend Alex and I have to say that I could have definitely taken all of them home with me! They are all such healthy, sweet puppies! I know he's going to be a fantastic dog for my uncle and I hope he loves his new home because we all love him!

Isn't he adorable?! (that's his little squirrel toy beside him)
Sorry this is a short post but I have so much homework and such to do!
Have a lovely evening!

Simple Goals

My simple goal for the week, along with finishing the headband orders that I have gotten over the past few days, is to make a headband in every color just for my personal use to show what each headband will look like in the colors that I have! I know it may sound like an easy task, but sometimes if I don't set goals for myself it's easy to get distracted, therefore not completing what I originally set out to do. I try not to set too hard of goals to make sure I don't discourage myself before I even begin.

Another goal of mine is to buy and wear more vintage/thrifted dresses! I got this adorable anchor dress from Ragin' Daisy's in New Orleans, it's from the 1960's! Wearing it always puts a smile on my face.


Happy Tuesday!
