Flutes and Prego Bellies

Posted on

In the past couple months, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing a gorgeous young woman with her flute and two lovely couples expecting their first child. Sadly I am just now getting around to featuring them on the bloggy blog.

So, I thought I’d lump them all together into one big post.

Meet Allison. She is in college and is a very accomplished flute player. Or is it flutist? Not sure. But she sure is pretty.

Tara & Matt just became the proud parents of a perfect baby boy!

Kristine & Daniel’s baby is due soon and the gender is a surprise! I admire their patience since I counted the days until my big appointment to find out if I was having a boy or girl.

Romantic

Posted on

Today is just proof that you can always find new uses for clothing items, even if you just happen to stumble upon them.

As I was creating this outfit for a “romantic” look, I just couldn’t get it to look exactly how I pictured it in my head.

I layered this Lauren Conrad blouse over this cream colored dress I have and belted it, but didn’t like the length of the shirt hanging down.

And so, I decided to tuck it up under the belt, creating more of a blouse and skirt look, which is EXACTLY what I wanted.

Don’t ever hesitate to TRY something new because it might be better than you expect!

(Look here for a picture of the original dress.)

Sexy Or Safe?

Posted on

You can easily make any “sexy” outfit safer (or in my case more comfortable) just by adding some leggings, boots and a soft sweater.

I easily transitioned this outfit from work to dinner out with our family in less than five minutes.

Plus, I felt so much cozier since the fog was rolling in and the temperature was dropping.

And it doesn’t even look like the same dress!
