Back to Mt. Auburn

I think this is going to be a twice a year thing. This spring Simon took me to the Mt. Auburn cemetery to see the flowers bloom and it was beautiful. The cemetery itself is soooo old and gorgeous. Last timewe went he offered to take me picture for my blog and they came out great. Some of my favorite photos were taken there. We had talked about going back to see the leaves change for some time now but my schedule just got to full and it has been hard to find time. Even on days when I thought it wouldve been good to go, the weather wasnt nice. Last Thursday the weather was amazing and it was the perfect day to go back to Mt. Auburn.

Now I obviously wore jeans and a shirt to the cemetery, but the dress I choose to photograph was given to me by my friend Liz who recently moved away. It is an amazing vintage maxi DVF! (Diane Von Furstenberg). I threw on my vintage "Carrie" hat with a vail and we found some really cool mausoleums in a isolated spot.

Simon did such a great job. Its always nice not to have to take my own photo sometimes. I know you can hardly see but I did wear those amazing tassel earrings from Forever21. I wanted to add a belt to the dress, but its just so great on its own. Something like that, with a lot of print shouldnt be over accessorized.

Again thank you Simon for taking my picture! Well in the world of Lovely I think Im all caught up with stuff. I added all my photos on the Face but sometimes its hard to sit down for 2 hours and do everything, including blogging. I havent been to busy lately, but enough to keep busy. Ive been adding to my room slowly. Im still in dire need for hangers, I have a ton of stuff I brought back from Florida still folded and laying around. I got a new tattoo this week! I got a steak and cake tattoo. Ill have to post that next week for Tattoo Wednesday. Hope you all are doing well! Arent you just loving this weather? XOXO!

One crazy Halloween weekend.

So I dont know about you, but I had a crazy Halloween! It was one hell of a weekend. The weekend before, I threw a party at my house, and it was a huge success! I dressed up as a six year old, it was priceless. All four of us in the house cleaned and it was the best our apartment has looked, and will for awhile haha. Im glad a lot of my friends came out and everyone had a good time.







The morning after...

9:30am with a cold beer, hungover, and yeh... I wore that tacky outfit all day.

Friday Halloween weekend I went to BadVille South for their party! I dressed up as Ronnie (Adam) all weekend haha, it was the best idea I had. It was pretty easy to, especially after I got the JFK tattoo on my hand.
Adam and Me as Ronnie






The morning after BadVille South's party.

It was a Ronnie kind of morning.

Saturday night we all went to The Behan for the big party there. What a boozy night.
Thats me as Ronnie (Adam) a sock monkey (Brant) a drunk, zombie punk rock Santa (Brandon) and Miles.


Here is me as Adam, with Adam as a zombie, eating my BRAINS!


HALLOWEEN NIGHT!
Was CRAZY! No words can really describe it. What a long day it was too because we had brunch at Jannea's house earlier than I went to Adam's tattoo which was 2 hours about. We were all pretty boozy.

Sophy!


The Devil and Ronnie!


A Flamingo and a Cockatoo


Kimmie as a Flamingo, and Ronnie.


So yeh, a crazy bunch of days. I had the most fun Ive had in a while though. I have to say this is a top 5 Halloween for me thats for sure. I didnt get tattooed this year, but those days were fun when we hung out at the tattoo shop on Halloween. I hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween. Next will should be just as good!

Florida part 2

So after I spent the first few days with my moms side of the family, over the weekend I saw all my dads side of the family and stayed with Aunt Dee over the weekend. I also did manage to sneak in some friend time and stayed one night with Jennifer Lynn, who stayed with my in Boston. It was great to see her, shes such a role model to me. Well friday I had beers and lunch with Grandpop and Mary! Finally some relaxing time haha. It was great to see both of them and Aunt Dee.


I hung out with my cat a lot, I miss her so much! Shes still the prettiest thing ever. My little panther cat.




Me and Aunt Dee


I got back to my moms house for my last night in town. I tried on all the crazy awesome vintage I bought over the week and we had some fried chicken.


My $3 flamingo costume


Since my brother got off work, we all could take one more family photo! We're a crazy bunch.


It was a great time, but all good things must come to an end and alas, I returned to Jamaica Plain. It was great to see all my family and go thrifting, but I am happy with my life in Boston. Hopefully, they can come see me next year! That would be something.


Dont let my mom near Adam hahaha! Omg so funny!

Florida part 1

So in October, I took a week off and went down to Florida, to see my family and do some serious thrifting. Its never a real vacation because I always end up exhausted from running all over town. This was the last time Ill see everyone before next year so Im glad I got to see all my grandparents, I finally got to meet little CJ and I got to see my baby girl Betty (the cat).

Of course the whole reason I went the week I did was because one of my favorite thrift stores, Sunshine Thirft, was having their 50% off day! Stuff that is already $3 and $4, only for $1 and $2! If by far one of my favorite stores.




Later that day, I had asked if we could all have a lunch date again. I loved going to lunches with Grams and Uncle Doug. We all got together and had lunch at Capital Grill.








Then later that night, my Aunt Becky came over with Steph, and Uncle Steve, and little baby CJ! He was born after I left FL last time so I hadnt met him yet. He is just the cutest thing ever.






That was just the first two days! When my mom picked me up from the airport, she brought me a cold PBR hahaha, that grams bought. That was awesome, a good welcome back. It was fun getting to see my mom and go shopping with her.

New stuff!

I, since my last post (sorry about that) have acquired so much new stuff!!! Ill get to it all little by little. I know my good Friend Jennifer Lynn has been waiting to see some of the things I bought when I was in Florida. Oh yeh thats right, I took a trip home to see my family.

First order of new business. I got new glasses finally! I have had the same prescription for over 3 years now and it was time. My grams bought me new ones, and honestly, she found them. Black ans red, my two favorite colors.


With new glasses comes a new look. I forgot how much I love layering. Ive really been into a kind of early 1990's grunge thing, with 1960's make up.






All photos should be taken like this.




So the black and rose print is actually a dress. I found it at Sunshine Thirft, it was $1. I threw over my banana republic "favorite" sweater and threw on a belt I bought at Boomeranges. I thought about buzzing my hair one more time but it seems like winter is coming sooner that later. Im going to dye it soon, its defiantly time.
Just a quick post, to proved that I would do it today lol. Im just listening to my "The Exploding Hearts" record.

The Brendan Behan.

The Bredan Behan. Its a local pub in Jamaica Plain that I go to on a daily bases. It is one of my favorite places and one of the reasons why I moved to Boston and live in Jamaica Plain. I have met all my good friends there and have really become apart of the place. Seeing as how I spend so much time there, it was finally time to blog about it. I asked my friend Adam if I could take a few pictures the other morning and he of course said it was ok. I picked out 2 skirts to bring with me and grabbed my tri-pod. The Behan is a 5 minute walk from my house.... awesome.

I photographed the first skirt, which I had blogged about a long time ago already. I set up my tri-pod, got my remote and took a few. Well after I had done all that, I took a beer break and my friends Cassi and Miles came in! Cassi was so sweet she offered to take my photo for the next "session". These came out great!






Lovely in motion.




Miles was in the back saying I should act like a scared animal haha.




All in all everyone had a laugh. Cassi thank you again so much for taking these for me, they came out great. I rarely have someone take MY photo so its always so lovely when someone offers to. After my "photo session" I had a few more beers and then I had to dash to the Swap that was Thursday night. If youre ever in town you should go to The Behan, its a great place. Ill probably be there drinking PBR out of my flamingo cup.
