30x30: Day 22 & 23 Amateur Photography, Modeling and Thieving

Ok, I am willing to admit these two days haven't been my best days either taking  photos or modeling my clothes. I am doing my best because I am in a bit of pain. I kind of put on a good face for day 22 but you can see I am pale as hell and sickly looking and I was wearing a lot of makeup.

Still there is no excuse, I am sure there were a few models during fashion week that had the flu or stomach poisoning on top of their eating disorder. Now granted its not fair that I am comparing myself to a professional model, but technically I am modeling my clothes, wait I should get paid for this!

I only have a few decent shots of me so they will have to do.

Day 22

I managed to take this pictures before I changed in to my equivalent of sweats and ran out of the house to my doctors appointment. But this is what I wore to work minus the shoes ( I wore my grey boots. I wore the shoes the rest of the day.)

My equivalent of sweats are leggings, tee shirt, flannel shirt, a large sweater and a pair of flats. I want to thank David (it used to be his, wait I think he lent it to me) for my new large AX hooded sweater its very warm and comfy.

Maybe when these 30x30 days are over (in seven days) I’ll take a picture in my “sweats.”

30x30 Day 15 Can You Meet Me Halfway

Wow, halfway through already! I cant believe I made it this far. I tell you though, it hasn’t been with out a struggle. I have had lazy days and days I couldn’t figure out what combinations I wanted to do. I also had to work around snowy cold days.

My main issue though was getting the pictures done, finding locations and people who were willing to take my pictures. I was able to take my own pictures but I had to find places that were secluded that I wouldn’t be bothered by nosy people.

I've also lost two pieces of my wardrobe one to a hole in the arm pit and the other in a friends house. Luckily those two pieces I haven't yet worn so I will replace them with something else that I have in the rest of my wardrobe.

So here is Day 15.

(H&M black tunic, unknown grey boots, grey tights bought 7 yrs ago Wal-Mart, purple lace tank, white military belt bought at army/navy store, chain lapels handmade by me, Express hound's-tooth coat given to me by my friend Karen.)

30x30 Day 12 Dont Mean A Thing If You Aint Got That Swing!

First of all I must say I had fun with this shoot. It wasn’t my first location choice, I was supposed to be behind here at the water’s edge, but something at the park drew me over.

Half the swings were knotted but this was was straight but it was a little high to touch the ground while sitting in the swing. I got the swing pretty high, I haven’t been on a swing in years, but I remembered how to do it.  I used to love the old NYC swings that were a flat metal seat that you could stand on, I miss those days.

Don't I look cute? Like it or not I do. Whatever♥

Record High

OK, I know you are thinking, what does a record high have to do with a blog post? Nothing really, but it did hit a record high of 92 degrees here in New York City. MY question is, is summer right around the corner and the last few days were only a tease? And no I don't think it is global warming, because you'd have to go back to the 1920's for the last record highs for these days. Ponder that.
Anyways what have I been up to you ask? I know it has been a while since my last post but really I have been a busy bee.

Well I went to see West Side Story on Broadway (3). It was a last minute idea on my friend's part, he is like that sometimes and it works out half the time. It is a good play and I recomend it to all. Do you see the black Chinese shoes (2)? Well my friend saw something on Etsy using those shoes that she wants me to recreate. I bought a pair for myself but I have different plans for those. Speaking of my friend, almost since the beginning of our friendship she has been a vegetarian, now as of the middle of last month she has been on her way to becoming a vegan. She is not doing it for diets sake, but for the animals. She has strong feelings about animal welfare and cares not to consume animal products. That's where the purple sneakers come in (4). The are vegan sneakers, from a vegan shoe store on the lower east side that the name is not coming to my mind at this moment, I'll get back to you on that aren't they cute and only $55. That same day I managed to spend way to much money on clothes and I had to get rid of other clothes to make space for the new ones. Oh and just the other day while shopping yes more shopping for shorts at Old Navy, I got these stockings (1) for 25 cents each. I love Peacock feathers I have them on everything I think I am going to cut them up and make a cover for my office chair.


Going back to those shoes my friend wants me to copy, is it OK to do so. I mean there is jewelery pieces by some designers that are similar to mine that are on there but I never saw their work nor have the designers seen mine. I don't know what to think, I just had to ask. Whatever ♥
