Hey Pretty Anniversary – 1 year recap!

This coming Friday marks the 1 year anniversary of my blog! Time goes by so fast. What started as a fun hobby has grown so much. Thank you all for the kind words and support, it’s been great getting to know some of you. Life is very unexpected and I’m excited for the year to come. Here are 5 of my favorite outfit posts from the past year along with commentary on behind-the-scenes stuff.

12.17.2010 Every act of creation is first an act of destruction | Zoa sheer asymmetrical button up, Shipley & Halmos high waisted pants, Dries Van Noten booties

My boyfriend and I drove by this industrial lot in West Seattle and thought it’d be cool to take pictures here (officer, what “no trespassing” sign? jk That didn’t happen thankfully). The ground was slick with oil leaks and a thick smell of gasoline hung in the air, plus it’s pretty rad that huge machine in the back looks like Bumblebee.

1.04.2011 It’s called the past because I’m getting past | Rag & Bone leather jacket, Helmut Lang top, Urban Outfitters eternity scarf, F21 jeggings and over the knee boots

3.15.2011 Tell me, did you sail across the sun? | 3.1 Phillip Lim trench coat, Dries Van Noten boots, ASOS fur snood

Here I was by the Brooklyn bridge directly across from the New York skyline. The shots turned out nice because of golden hour, you might not be able to tell with my poker face but I was pissed because that day was so ridiculously cold and windy and those boots hurt to walk in.

    Haha thanks for the comment girl! of course I had to add a touch of light using my friend, Photoshop to really brighten up my photos. There was a lack of sunlight so it left my photos looking plain and dull! 🙁

    Happy birthday to your blog! It's been a pleasure viewing all your blog posts! I'm really impressed with both your sense of style and your taste for food! 🙂 I'm glad that I found your blog!
