Welcome, Fall

Without a single doubt, fall has always been my favorite time of the year. The happiest memories that I can recall have happened during this season. There are of course the 'firsts' that have taken place. The first time I moved away from Texas for college and found myself with a sense of new-found independence, aimlessly wandering around campus taking in the Midwest's beautiful transition into the colder months. The first time I moved in with my best friends and had a house to call my own. The first time I fell in love. And of course there are the fall routines that I look forward to every year, like dusting off the box of my favorite sweaters in storage, or wandering around with a pumpkin spice latte in hand.  When October rolls around, I can't help but feel a little nostalgic about autumn's past and what it means to me. This fall is another first - my first time living in New York City. It is the simple things that make me happy and I am so eager to see what memories fall will bring me this year. I know that it will be nothing short of magical

photos by me

As promised, here are photos from the foggy day I told you
all in the last post. They are shot on 35mm film, which I
have not done in quite a while. I love all the little imperfections
and uncertainty that film photography entails. I went up on
the mountain to take these photos, and you couldn't even see
the entire town because the fog was so thick. Since then, the
whole town has transformed into a winter wonderland,
and school has already been canceled for two days. Of course
you can expect some more snow photos in the next post.
Luckily, I am snowed in with a little group of the best people
in town! Aka, my lovely friends.

Oh and just so you know, the last photo of me holding
hands is with the boy I was with last year. He doesn't make
many appearances on the blog anymore, but those who are
wondering, we are still quite happy.

Hope everyone is having a lovely day! And if you got hit
by the snow storm, stay warm.

Gems & Jewels

Exciting news: Today I just purchased a Canon Rebel 35mm! I have been playing and experimenting with it all day long and decided when is there a better time to display my favorite jewels? When it comes to jewelry I cannot help it, I am instantly attracted to gaudiness. Gold for me is almost a must, and floral inspired pieces are favorable.
