West River Parkway

Super quick outfit photos from yesterday. Cole and I were killing time and decided to stop off the West River Parkway by Minnehaha Park. I just love the view of the Ford Parkway bridge in the background. I swear, if I was an architect I would design bridges. I love bridges.

This might be the first time I've worn a maxi dress on my blog. I have to admit I'm a bit awkward in long skirts and dresses and usually avoid wearing them since they require a certain amount of grace and elegance to pull them off. Tripping and stumbling is typically what happens when I wear anything past my calves.

A Blogger Meetup

Right before I moved to the Twin Cities, I was lucky enough to meet up with my lovely Delightful Dozen pals, Tieka and Veronika. We met halfway in my old college town of East Lansing, MI. Driving at my normal break-neck speed, I arrived early and took the opportunity to drive around and reminisce. It's amazing how much the campus and downtown still look the same as when I graduated in 2003. I was even able to point out Cole's and my old apartment on Grand River right adjacent to the Urban Outfitters I used to work at. It was so nice chatting with Tieka and Veronika about blogging randomness, creepy flickr stalkers, helpful husbands and crazy pets. I only wish we could have spent more time together! Hopefully they'll both come for a visit to the Twin Cities.

Delightful Adventures

The sun, the sun, the glorious sun! It's so very rare for Michigan to see the sun. We will even go weeks without a peek of Vitamin D. Minnesota is going to cold but I don't care because it will also be sunny!! No more lake effects creating seasonal depression! YAY!

So I haven't done a Delightful Dozen post in quite some time. Mostly because my holidays were too crazy to find the time and also because most items up for swap haven't been in my size. This skirt was also a bit snug but wearing it high on my waist helped. A little bonus surprise was that the skirt had suspender buttons, allowing me to pull out my vintage pair. Always so fun.

Sunset in the Park

I just dropped off Cole at the airport for his flight to Minneapolis. I'll be picking him up tomorrow night and then dropping him off again on Thursday for his flight to Chicago and then picking him up again on Friday. Bah. So many interviews, so many flights, so stressful. Please keep your fingers crossed, we need all the luck we can get!!

Smile Like You Mean It

Sometimes I have absolutely no idea what to name a post and this was one of those times. Luckily, I was saved from wrinkling my brain when I remembered something that happened during the shoot, rather something that happens during pretty much every shoot- Cole teasing me and trying to get me to smile. As you will see, he was quasi successful in the last photo.

For most of my life, I've never been a photo smiling type of person; I always feel that I end up looking weird, fake or very awkward, which I do. And the funny thing is my lack of smiling probably gives you all the wrong impression because if you met me face to face you would be surprised to find that I'm a smiling, laughing fool! No joke.
