Old City Dreams

A little trek around Old City, Philadelphia in my pumpkin orange Benni boots is the perfect way to welcome in the autumn season. I still can't believe it's nearly the end of October. We are in the midst of the Halloween festivities, and I'm already working on my second costume. Currently, Hurricane Sandy is on the minds of everyone around me, and we are all prepping for a straight two days of being stuck inside. Stocking up on things like water bottles, cereal, and bread. Bananas have sold out at the local supermarket. At least work has been cancelled for today and tomorrow because of all the paranoia surrounding this oncoming storm. Just the little break I needed so much after what has felt like weeks of nonstop work, work, work. Old 90's movie and Sex and the City marathons are my top priority right now. It kind of feels fantastic.

By the way, how do you all like the new blog redesign? It's definitely still a work in progress, but I think it's the closet it's ever been to what I have fully envision my blog to look like. I've been thinking a lot about what kind of direction I want my blog to go in, and I feel like the best way to go about things is to really not think too much about it at all. A focus on photography has a much more distinct presence on the blog, and this is something that has developed naturally over time. And to think that using an SLR camera was brain surgery to me back when I started blogging in 2007. Now it is a such an everyday part of my life that it only made sense to make the pictures bigger on my blog so everyone can get a better look. I just want this blog to not only be fashion-centric, which is how it started as, but also a personal place where I share bits and pieces of my life with you all. I feel like we all have a lot of awesome things we can share with each and teach other through words, pictures, or however else we choose to express ourselves. And that's what I love most about keeping this blog. I have total control and I get to do what I love and share it with you all. Let's all just keep it up like this.
