I have had this photo and the credits for this post done for a few days, but I have been really busy at work and very tired/lazy when I get home. But I really want to show off this adorable dress/shirt and boots, new main store releases from Apple May Designs. I’m not going to say much more about them – the products speak for themselves – and instead, take a leaf out of my blogger buddy Alexa’s book and just leave it right here.

Not Shabby At All

1 Not Shabby At All 2 sm

Those of you who know me and my normal style will be shocked to learn that this is not just a set I built for a photo, but my own home. What, you say? That’s right – no retro, shabby chic look this time around, with not a speck of gingham or patchwork to be found. I’ve gone a bit more modern and eclectic, while still comfortable. Even the dog is more angular and sleek instead of fluffy and cute!

I intentionally didn’t allow a peek through the windows; I’m still struggling to let go of my country feel outside 😉

I added a few photos I had on hand to the frames from [ keke ] for Uber…since I could. That’s what they’re for. I’ll be working on shooting photos that fit the new feel of my home, rather than just making photos that I had fit. I plan to change them often; again…that’s what they’re for. They’re versatile and will work in any decor, which I love.

I’m not quite ready to stray too far from a cozy living space, but as an effort to move away from my comfort zone, I don’t think it’s too shabby at all.

Pretty stuff I’m showing off:

Lips Like Marilyn

1 Cressida sm

Ah, to be such a classic bombshell.

There is lots of newness in this photo, from the dress from Apple May Designs to the hat by JfL Real Hats, the decorations by Kaerri to the pose by * La Jolie Rose *. In fact, everything in this photo is new, except my body, mesh head and skin.

Maybe I can’t be like Marilyn, but I can at least surround myself with pretty things I’m sure she would love.
