1 The Unsuccessful Gardener sm

I tried to grow a garden. But I picked the blooms and scattered the flowers across the floor instead.
I tried to water the plants. But when I went to the well, it had run dry.
I tried to capture a caterpillar. But instead, I released the butterflies from their cocoons.

So I took a picture instead.

Tuff Chick

1 Tuff Girl sm

Even tuff girls love their shoes.

I’m not a biker chick, but while prepping for a client shoot, I decided to hop on the bike and see how it felt. It felt…strange. Uncomfortable, even. But with the right outfit and hair, I can pretend I’m in Rome for a day. Hey, Audrey Hepburn did it in Roman Holiday, so why can’t I? OK, so that was a scooter, but let’s not pick nits 😉

Honestly, this photo is all about the shoes. Fringe always makes me feel like a bit of a bad girl, albeit in a princess-y way. There is just something about the feel of the fabric swishing against your ankles to make even a debutante turn into a tuff chick. These babies are from Apple May Designs and can be found at the current round of Shiny Shabby. It is the first anniversary of this amazing event and there are some awesome gifts from these incredible designers. I’m not showing the gift from Apple May, but trust me, it’s worth putting on your shoes and heading over!

A Play-by-play Of Her Mind At Its Freest

1 Carrie sm

A dream is made of equal parts reality and fantasy. Or perhaps, rather than fantasy it is hopes and wishes. Of possibilities and aspirations. Of memories transformed into tales of indulgence and fulfillment, rewritten to salve our subconscious. A juxtaposition of everyday events with faraway desires. They are the attainment of our loftiest goals in our most unguarded state.

Or sometimes, they are simply strange glimpses into how far our imagination can take us.

A girl in lingerie and dangerously high heels atop a sandy mountain, watching a dove peck for food as flowery wind turbines gently tousle her hair. Yes, this is probably more of the latter than the former. But still, it is a legitimate dream, a play-by-play of her mind at its freest.
