Spain - Santiago de Compostela & A Coruña

I finally have some of my photos from Spain edited! Here are some pictures from A Coruña and Santiago de Compostela. I put several of my photos in sepia tone, and really quite enjoyed it - I think it adds to the age of these places! The lighthouse in some of the photos is literally the oldest in the world! The Cathedral is pretty old as well! Hope you enjoy!

Back & Spain Preview

I am so very sorry for my long absence! "Real life" kept me very busy, but now I'm nearing the end of the semester and have more time! I promise that from now on, I will update at least once a week, so please don't abandon me totally!

Recently, I've finally started to sort through my thousands of photos from my semester in Spain last spring. I'll be posting some as I finish, but here's just one of my favourites for now! This is a photo I took in Santiago de Compostela!

MASSIVE Photo Update

Hello! I am sorry for my lack of updating! I went on a vacation to Florida, where I had no internet, then went to university, where I had to set up my own internet, which took a while. Rather than bore you with what has been going on, I will assault your eyes with many, many photos! A proper fashion post should be here tomorrow!

Anime Iowa!

Hello! This past weekend I got to go to Anime Iowa with my friends! Anime Iowa is a fairly large anime convention in, well, Iowa. Every year, we unleash our nerdy side and dress up! It's a blast! This year, my friend and I dressed up as characters from the show Fate/Stay Night! I was Ilya (the blonde in the photos) and she was Rider (the one with long, purple hair). Feel free to google the characters for a look at what we were aiming for! Our other friend didn't go as somebody from the show, but instead went in Steampunk fashion, including a wonderful corset! Below are a few photos! I already am counting down to next year!

This is what a con typically looks like!

A close-up of my friend's corset! So pretty!

Victorian Love

I love anything about the Victorian era... and that's exactly what this outfit reminds me of! The frilly shirt, the lacey skirt, and the cameo just make it a modern victorian ensemble!

Candles Should Inspire All

Saw these shoes in Vogue this month and instantly fell in love. They're Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte.

Check out the amazing candle wax design on the heel!candle 04

I personally love candles! There's just something almost mystic about them! This is a photo I took in the cathedral in Salamanca.

Anyway, I hope you had a great weekend! I've got some outfit posts for later this week... then an explosion of nerdiness for you next week! Just wait and see what I have in store!

House On The Rock

Wisconsin 707 Wisconsin 668

This place was so crazy! The house was really built on a rock... it incorporated the nature perfectly! There was also an amazing museum! They had everything from suits of armor (above) to scale-models of circuses to a myriad of automated music players!

A fully automatic orchestra! The instruments really play!

Wisconsin 526 Wisconsin 535

I took over 400 photos in one day here! If you're even in Wisconsin, make an effort to go here. It was worth the steep admission price (although, as short as I am, they charged me the 17-and-under price, tehe)!
