My Past (Two) Week(s) According to Instagram

Another busy two weeks have passed by in a blur!

Last Saturday I went to Blue Marsh Lake and did a vintage swimsuit shoot with Jacob Mast, whom I met at Reading's air show.  He was sweet enough to drive up from DC to meet me and take some fabulous shots.  I haven't seen all of them yet, but I've seen a few shots here and there that make me quite excited.  I wore my two 1940s swimsuits that belonged to my grandmother as well as a 1950s and a 1960s thrifted suits.

Then on Sunday my friend took me to see his cousins perform in Legally Blonde the Musical.  It was a lot of fun and really well done.  His cousins were fantastic.  Gotta love theatre geeks.  I even wore a pink 1960s dress in honour of the event, which of course I forgot to take a photograph in.

This weekend I wasn't feel super great so I spent it being lazy with some mates.  So that will be how I'm spending the rest of my day today.

Hope you all had a good weekend.

Travel Diary: East Boothbay, Maine

At last!  It's finally time for my photos from Maine.  We stayed at the most beautiful boat house in East Boothbay.  The first photo was taken at said boat house-you can see it in the background.  We had such a gorgeous view of the harbor and to the right, the ocean.  It was so peaceful to lay in bed each night and fall asleep to the sound of the waves crashing.

These photos were taken at the private beach right down the road from where we were staying.  It was literally only a few minutes walk.  It was lovely to go down there and pick sea glass and watching and listen to the waves crashing.

Outfit Details:

blouse, vintage skirt, vintage jumper, belt {thrifted}

wedge shoes {eBay}

bracelet {made by me for Mess Of A Dreamer Design}

ring {my great-grandmother's engagement ring from 1920}

earrings {Claire's}

sunnies {boutique in Boothbay Harbor, ME}

I can't wait to share more of my photos from Maine with you all...  I always wanted to say, I see I've been getting a fair amount of page views, but no comments.  Please feel free to leave feedback- but don't crush my vulnerable ego!  Constructive criticism is welcome, and so is positive feedback!
