Swinging From The Trees

I'm so excited it's warm out I'm swinging from the trees... literally! I'd like to wear this outfit with my maroon wedges I got (here). I'll be happy with no tight for now though! I'm going to go cut my hair now....short? bangs? just a trim? Tune in tomorrow for the answer. I know the suspense is killing you...

More signs of spring!

Stalking My Neighbour

I know things have been a little slow around here but I have good news: the melt is on (I even spotted some greens signs of life!) which means more interesting backgrounds await! Tonight I took my camera on my daily walking of the dog for the first time since getting it. After work I usually just want a solid hour of silent walking rather than focusing on anything including taking pictures. In any case, if you follow my twitter you may know I've been slightly obsessed with the newest addition to my neighbourhood. A bald eagle has moved in!! I want to have my camera handy for when I run into him. I have been stalking areas that I think he would frequent... I saw him sitting in a tree and it honestly looked like a calf was stuck up there; he is huge. He makes the giant crows look like hummingbirds. Despite our efforts the young man (my doggie) and I didn't see him tonight... my stalking continues...

This Weeks Thrift Scores

Here are some thrifted shoes I've found over the last week. I was too excited to wait for suitable conditions to share!

Suntanning

Well this has certainly been a busy week! I finally got a day off (first one since last last sunday) which means I finally got some pictures again, whooo hooo. I got this coat from the Cabin Fever sale at Modcloth a few weeks back. I know I keep jumping back and forth from winter to spring outfits but what's a girl to do! I had a vision of an awesome picture in my head of me standing on the deck railing. Turns out it's not so easy to climb up and balance on the rail in a dress and wedges. I tried having the wedges up there and me scurrying up to throw them on but the 10 second timer is just not enough! Despite the gloomy sky it's actually pretty warm out so I was having a gay ol' time with bare feet and legs on the deck.

This picture made me realize you must not grow out of facial expressions. Refer back to the first picture of Little Me in my last post.

Too Much Me?

OK! So I know I'm a bit behind on these but I was awarded the Versatile Blogger by these lovely bloggers. Meganne from The Posh Pearl , Kelly from Yellow Cup Cake. My fellow Albertan Ashley from Lions, Lace, Lattes honoured me with the One Lovely Blogger Award. Thanks so much for thinking of me ladies! I really am a little surprised that people actually wanna visit my little corner of the interweb sometimes. I thought this may be a good time to show some more candid pictures of me which really doesn't happen on the ol' blog much. I think I'd show some more daily life/candid stuff if I actually did something interesting in real life! Haha! Here goes nothin...

We'll start young... Me and my cousin were known as Salt and Pepper.

Me and brother, on the other hand, were just known as dirty farm kids.

I like to intimidate things much bigger than me.

I have been known to be Velma for halloween almost yearly.

I love me some snake.

My favourite umbrella only lasted 45 minutes.

Me and the manfriend...he's got a part that would make moses jealous.

Let's Pretend It's Spring

Everyone ready for another edition of me pretending it's spring?! I cleared out the dining room so I would have makeshift stage for me to wear my next spring inspired outfit. No tights required! I got a few questions on how I got the lighting to work for my indoor photos. I really didn't "do" anything. Our house has ALOT of south facing windows with no trees in order to absorb heat in the winter. So the natural light in our house is slightly outrageous. No tricks of the trade to share here. This is one of my mom's skirts that I dressified. I think I'd really like to try it out as a nature intended as a skirt too. But I'll save it for another edition of Let's Pretend It's Spring! Just got my post title...
