Colored Jeans, Denim Jackets, and Beautiful Gardens

Hi guys! First of all, I just wanted to apologize for being a but slow on posting lately. I've been trying to get sictuated at my new school and getting ready for fashion week. But no worries- I'm back! This week I will be attending DC Fashion Week with my friends Molly and Elli and I'll be taking lots of great pictures for you!

Anyways, this past weekend we threw Elli a surprise birthday party (happy fifteenth!), where we got milkshakes and went to an absolutely stunningly beautiful garden- and I don't use the word beautiful lightly! We got some fantastic shots and had a great time overall catching the last rays of summer before it cools down. Here are some of my favorites.

 I love this shot because it looks like it was taken in the middle of the country. I have a serious soft spot for country photos for some reason- probably because they look so peaceful- and the sun in my hair topped off the country feel.

I love Molly's outfit! A simple striped oxford will look flawless with some simple accesories and colored jeans for an outfit that is perfectly put together. Her pants are from Anthropologie, top is Old Navy, Sunglasses ar Ray Ban, and Hat is from Vietnam. The yellow and blue has a great contrast with her red hair!

I love this headshot of Molly! It seriously looks like one of those portraits taken at a studio with a fake background. And we were on location!

This is my favorite headshot of myself from the shoot, although it's obvious that I've lost every trace of tan that I managed to get this summer (which was not much). I finally got a vintage jean jacket which I'm obsessed with. The texture of denim really brings a lot of visual interest to a headshot.

Molly's Ray Bans and Fedora look brilliant on the lake. Luckily they didn't get wet!

I love this picture of Elli running down the hill. It has a great silhouette, yet you can still see the colors of what she's wearing. The burnt tangerine looks fabulous next to her hair, and the magenta matches perfectly! I loved this outfit. Her top is from Life is Good and pants are from Belk.

I really love this photo. Even though I have a chilling expression on my face, I think it's a nicely unique shot that I'm glad we got (no rhyme intended!).

Molly had a great time in the Asian part of the garden. There were some miniture Easter Island sculptures in the outskirts of the garden. I know these don't derive from Asia, but they were an awesome addition!

This picture is intersting to look at because it looks like it was taken from a fish eye lens. I love the zoominess of it- even the grass looks zoomed in. The cool thing about this shot is that it's unedited. Lots of these shots looked awesome unedited, so we left them the way they were.

This is my favorite shot of Elli! Even with the gorgeous background, the shot is centered on her, and it was taken in the perfect location where the sun was shining on her hair.

Next to the lake, there was an enormous bell that we attempted to get to ring. It was as heavy as it looks!

 Thanks for reading! I hope you had a great week! I'll hopefully be back later this weekend to show you some more of the awesome shots we got!
