    what I wore : la luna

    jean jacket – TJ Maxx
    sweater – Sing Your Phase Top c/o Modcloth
    shirt – thrifted
    back patch – Goners
    patch – Spellcaster
    lapel pin – Explorer’s Press
    pants – TJ Maxx
    shoes – Amazon
    camera bag – Somerset c/o Jo Totes

    Even though the end of autumn is here, and it seems like all the leaves have already fallen I managed to find this colorful little corner. It’s funny how long I spent worrying there was nowhere to shoot outfit photos since I lived in the city now and I’m not one to shoot in front of other people. Now that I’m a little bit more comfortable venturing around on my own I’m realizing all these awesome spots I frequent with my pals to shoot photos make killer backgrounds for outfit photos.

    Jo Totes just released this camera bag, Somerset. I’m always excited to get my hands on her bags. This one, although lacking the cross body strap which is how I always wear my bags, is incredible!! It’s SO roomy. Better than anything else though, it has a million pockets. I have always been a sucker for pockets. I remember that being a big deal when I picked out trapper keepers and backpacks, if they didn’t have lots of pockets I didn’t want them. Still kind of exactly the same, pockets win me over every time. This is the perfect purse/camera bag combo.

Located in Linesville, Pennsylvania, the spillway is kind of a strange attraction but somehow it manages to bring in tons of people every year since the …

  • home, sweet, abandoned home

    by Kaylah Stroup November 12, 2014

    Last week Jeff and I got out and explored a few abandoned homes. I do believe they were my first real homes. Earlier in the year I was able to explore a handful abandoned trailers in Bombay Beach but being as those were part of the decline of the whole area it’s kind of a …
