We've been readjusting to our normal schedule over here after five days of eating out and site seeing with my parents. It was so nice to see them and spend a good chunk of time with them, but its taken a while for us to get back into our usual groove. My little lady took a three and a half hour nap the day that they left!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't get over how excited I am about this little cloth backpack. Its going to be my new diaper bag now that our daughter is walking and running around on her own. She's been mobile for quite some time, but recently I've found that trying to bend over to help her or talk to her (not to mention chase her around) with a giant diaper bag on my shoulder isn't really working. I love the <a href="http://www.moopshop.com/products/the-market-bag-blue" target="_blank">Moop</a> bag that we originally bought so much that it'll become my personal tote bag. And the bandana is a must. My dad gave us two to put in her diaper bag and use as makeshift bibs, if needed. I just like having something of his with us all the time.<br />
<br />
The dress is pretty great too and this is the first time I've worn it (although its been in the closet for a while). I kept waiting for a special occasion, but then realized its something I can easily wear any old day. I love all of the 40's details, but think it was made by a home sewer, based on an old pattern. The fabric, neckline and little bow, mother of pearl-esque buttons and scalloped front make it such a charming little frock.<br />

Sometimes my sister and I will go virtual shopping together. Since she lives in another state, many hours drive away, this consists of me e-mailing her links to the things that I'm currently a little in love with and her commenting back and so on. Really, I just miss my sister and also miss the act of shopping with her. The other day she told me that I was a little clog crazy.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its true. Before I bought my first pair of <a href="http://www.swedishhasbeens.com/" target="_blank">Swedish Hasbeens</a>, I bought a pair of Miz Mooz clog boots and couldn't stop wearing them. Then I got a pair of Schouler and Sons clogs on sale at <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/category/shoes/shopsale-shoes.jsp?cm_sp=TOPNAV-_-SHOPSALE-_-SHOPSALE-SHOES&cm_re=TOPNAV-_-SHOPSALE-_-SHOPSALE-SHOES" target="_blank">Anthropologie</a>. And then I bought a pair of Hasbeens...and then a few more (including a pair of <i>deeply, deeply </i>discounted Rachel Comey Clogs<i> (I know!, </i>but sadly nobody in my non-virtual life knew how exciting this was<i>)</i>. Every time I have a birthday that comes up or we have a little extra money to spend on ourselves, these are what I want to spend it on. They have a 70's vintage feel to them, they're beautiful (in my opinion), they're comfortable, and I can wear them with so many things in my closet. They're my perfect shoe.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Right now, I'm pretty excited about the company <a href="http://www.lottafromstockholm.co.uk/" target="_blank">Lotta from Stockholm</a>. I got a pair of their <a href="http://www.lottafromstockholm.co.uk/clogs/high-heel-clogs/highwood-open-red.html" target="_blank">Highwood Open Toe clog sandals in red</a> when my daughter was an infant and wear them all the time. The heel is a little lower than my Hasbeens and the price tag is much lower. They have a huge selection and, well, I'm crushing on a few pairs right now. I've been slowly weeding my clothing and shoe collection over the past year, making room for things I'll actually wear, eventually making room for some Lotta's hopefully:) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right now I'm really loving the <a href="http://www.lottafromstockholm.co.uk/clogs/high-heel-clogs/braid-silver-gold.html" target="_blank">Silver and Gold Braids</a>, the <a href="http://www.lottafromstockholm.co.uk/clogs/high-heel-clogs/matilda-superhigh-blue.html" target="_blank">Matilda Super High</a>, the <a href="http://www.lottafromstockholm.co.uk/clogs/high-heel-clogs/highwood-open-tbar-aubergine.html" target="_blank">259 T-Bar in Aubergine</a>, and the classic <a href="http://www.lottafromstockholm.co.uk/clogs/high-heel-clogs/highwood-tan.html" target="_blank">Highwood Tan</a>. </div>

I know some people aren't clog crazy like me. So tell me, what do you think of them?</div>

The weather is perfect today: high 70's, not a cloud in the sky and low humidity. Unluckily we're stuck inside waiting for the air conditioner repair person for the second day in a row. But luckily, someone is coming to fix it for when we actually need it. I have to remember to count my blessings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we do eventually go outside, the babes and I will wear our hats for sun protection. This one has to be my favorite of all time. I love the blue stripes, I love the fact that its so tightly woven that it has an SPF of 50, and I love that the brim is so wide that when I carry my daughter, it covers part of her too. What's not to love?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The skirt has been in constant rotation for years. There's a vintage store near us with low prices and lots of 70's wrap skirts. I enjoy shopping that section of the store just as much as I enjoy looking through the dresses. Many wrap skirts have all the right elements for me: pockets, an a-line, high waists and knee-lengths.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then, of course, there are the shoes. My favorite shoes. These were my first pair of <a href="http://www.swedishhasbeens.com/ss13-sale-c-47.html" target="_blank">Swedish Hasbeens</a>. I bought them before my daughter was born because I knew that we'd have a tighter budget after she came and I wanted to treat myself to something I'd wanted for years. They were everything I'd hoped for them to be. I even wore them when I was eight months pregnant, which goes to show how comfortable they are. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's about it. My favorite kind of outfit for the perfect summer day. Hopefully we'll be able to get out soon!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After our daughter was born, I decided to continue working part-time. Its great for so many reasons, namely because I really love my job, but also because it gives me a chance to get out of the house by myself and interact with other people independent of my husband and daughter. I work a few evenings a week and every other weekend and Saturday I was off to the library again for the day, hat in hand for a walk during my lunch break. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this dress. Its so feminine and floaty, pretty without being precious and easy to wear. I also really love that the color pattern is so autumnal even though the fabric is filmy and obviously meant for summer. Its getting a little delicate around the seams, but that only makes me love it even more for giving the dress a threadbare elegance that it wouldn't have had when it was brand new. I'm not really sure if the shoes go with it, but I really wanted to wear them. Yellow is such a happy color! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my idea of the perfect summer outfit: vintage dress, colorful clogs, basket purse, a hat and a few pieces of hand-me-down jewelry. I'm so happy its summer.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Before becoming a mama 14 months ago, one of the things I feared about the upcoming change was how it would effect my style. Everyone from other moms to patrons at work (I work at a library) told me that I wouldn't be able to wear my favorite clothes, jewelry or shoes anymore. Some of them even seemed to relish the opportunity to inform me of these things. It seems like an odd thing to fear, but my personal style has become an important form of self-expression. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I've realized since my daughter was born is that my style is going to change no matter what, but that its still mine and I get to choose what works best in my life. I still wear vintage dresses and heels (mainly clogs because they are so, so dreamy and comfortable!) and I still wear makeup, but everything, for the most part, has become simplified. Most days I put on my lipstick before I get the chance to brush my teeth, but that's another story. There will be a time for complicated brooches and dangley earrings, its just not at this particular moment, so they sit and wait patiently in my jewelry box. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which brings me to this outfit. I never would have been caught dead in something so voluminous and hardly ever wore pants before she came into my life, but they make sense now. I feel comfortable and stylish for the day I'm having. Some days I put more thought into it, but it just depends on my mood. I think, more than anything, my daughter's presence in my life has helped me to accept myself more, rather than changing me into another person. That's one of the wonderful things about motherhood that I wish someone had told me when I was pregnant!</div>

Today was such a gray, moody, cloudy, rainy day. I really enjoy days like today...when I can stay inside, hunker down with some library books and warm blankets, make myself chai tea, and let the baby scatter her toys across the floor for the entire afternoon. Its also a good opportunity to let a pot of beans simmer on the stove top and warm up the apartment. Not a bad way to spend a slow, easy day.</div>

Does anyone else out there love hats? I've been slowly cultivating a collection, mostly from the stock of one vintage store that I visit with my sister every time I go home to Florida. Its called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lafranceybor" target="_blank">La France Vintage</a> and its amazing, stuffed to the brim with vintage, local designers, costume jewelry, shoes, hats...etc, etc. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly not pushy, they play great music and, well, its just a joy to walk into the place every single time. I could really go on forever about how much I love going to this store. I can't wait to take my daughter there once she's old enough to appreciate it...and not try to eat the stock:)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I have a small, but substantial collection of hats now, everything from berets and tams to wool cloches, a 70's style felt floppy, and a few beautiful straw numbers with wide and short brims. I've been trying to figure out how to incorporate them into my wardrobe for a while and now I have to figure out how to store them in our house. I haven't completely figured it out, but I recently got some great inspiration from Ashley Ording over at <a href="http://www.ashleyording.com/" target="_blank">Fancy Fine</a>. She's done a beautiful job of using her wardrobe as decoration in her apartment and has a whole wall of hats. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the last big straw lovely with a black bow joined the collection, I decided to put some of them on display. Now I just need to figure out what to do with the rest. Does anyone have any suggestions? </div>

If you love vintage style hats as much as I do, check out <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/yellowfield7" target="_blank">Behida Dolic Millinery</a> on Etsy. Unfortunately, they're out of my price range, but such beautiful window shopping!</div>

I've discovered that dressing for life with a baby isn't so very different from dressing for life before one. Once the pregnancy weight was gone and the round the clock schedule eased, I found myself reaching for the same vintage dresses, jeans and tunics, blouses and shorts that I'd worn before. More than anything, its more simple; more inspired by the 70's than before. Oh and I wear lower heels some of the time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The most different thing is my own perspective. I'm not as hard on myself about my style as I was before and I don't need to look or feel *perfect* in the same way that I wanted to before her birth. Part of that is just necessity and part of it is choosing how I want to influence the way my child thinks about self-image.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this is what I often find myself wearing: funky layers, clothes that are relatively easy to nurse in, and chunky jewelry because she likes to play with it and it keeps her happy and occupied. (I got lucky, she doesn't pull on my jewelry or hair that much so far:)</div>

Wow, its been a while. For the past few years, I haven't been able to commit to blogging, I'd just lost the interest and the time to give it. After a few false starts, I just decided to wait and see if the desire to post anything here arose....and it didn't. I started working full time, we had a baby, and we moved. So now I'm working part time again, spending most of my time at home with the babe, finding myself interested in posting again. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The truth is that towards the end of my regular blogging, I didn't know what I wanted to post about, I didn't know if I would even want to read what I was putting out there. But then a few nights ago, I went through my posts and actually liked the different things that I'd put out there. I'm not sure exactly what I'll be writing about or how regularly, but its something I'd like to do again. Probably some outfits, probably some photos, and probably poetry and books that I find and love. One thing I won't be doing is posting pictures of the babe, I just don't feel comfortable doing that (even though I love reading blogs about families). Otherwise its just an open question right now, and that feels good. So if you'd like to follow along, I'd love to have you. If not, I understand. And if nobody's reading anymore, that's okay too. Its been a while.<br />
<br />
So here are some photos of our quiet life lately. <br />

One day we headed to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Springs">Rainbow Springs</a> to beat the heat. The springs are a perfect place to go on a hot day. Water from the aquifer is constantly bubbling up to the surface, making it completely clear and very cool (averaging about 70-75 degrees, I think). There are lots of these swimming holes all over Florida and up through the 60's and 70's, many of them were made into popular road-side tourist attractions, complete with performing mermaids and glass-bottom boat tours. Rainbow Springs was taken over by the State of Florida in the 70's and now there's a nominal fee of $2 a person to enter the park.<br /><br />It was really great, there are walking trails, a butterfly garden, the remnants of an old aviary and zoo, and of course the river, which begins at the spring and on which you can take canoes and kayaks. Below is an old map of the amusement park in its heyday.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5971965991/" title="Rainbow Springs_ by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6138/5971965991_66c725a23f_z.jpg" alt="Rainbow Springs_" width="640" height="418" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5972522492/" title="Kelley 2_ by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6022/5972522492_29e6a67d5a_z.jpg" alt="Kelley 2_" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5972523838/" title="oh florida_ by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6018/5972523838_dde02f6335_z.jpg" alt="oh florida_" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5971974819/" title="water fall 1_ by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6126/5971974819_8a22e68e4d_z.jpg" alt="water fall 1_" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5971973191/" title="tres_ by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6135/5971973191_dc3cc359c4_z.jpg" alt="tres_" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5972529760/" title="swimming hole_ by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6128/5972529760_67b5ffcdc9_z.jpg" alt="swimming hole_" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5971967285/" title="springs) by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6008/5971967285_e3244063e9_z.jpg" alt="springs)" width="640" height="427" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5971968545/" title="swamp _ by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6021/5971968545_e4d1988592_z.jpg" alt="swamp _" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5971969311/" title="swampie_ by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6028/5971969311_104f8046c4_z.jpg" alt="swampie_" width="640" height="427" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5971964265/" title="more water_ by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6002/5971964265_f42f5e8ddb_z.jpg" alt="more water_" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5972520102/" title="Kate Smiling_ by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6146/5972520102_c0b774027a_z.jpg" alt="Kate Smiling_" width="640" height="427" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5972530400/" title="swimming hole 2_ by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6022/5972530400_050bc86673_z.jpg" alt="swimming hole 2_" width="640" height="427" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5971973585/" title="warning_ by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6138/5971973585_ebf7bd6531_z.jpg" alt="warning_" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5987249839/" title="fauna_ by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6017/5987249839_f8b2e818ae_z.jpg" alt="fauna_" width="640" height="427" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">This is a big part of Florida as I remember it from growing up there. Swampy, kitschy, sunny and replete with alligators, palms, oaks, pines, and Spanish moss. There are other tourist attractions like this that have survived post Disney. A great one is <a href="http://www.fountainofyouthflorida.com/">Ponce De Leon's Fountain of Youth</a> in St. Augustine. I find these places fascinating; they're relics of another time in America's history of tourism, but they've persisted, so they also say something about us today and what we think about the past.<br /></div><br />On another day, we visited a great pizza place that also has a tourist/junk shop attached.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5971960867/" title="Junk Shop_ by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6024/5971960867_53a532a27e_z.jpg" alt="Junk Shop_" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">And this was outisde, so we had to take a photo...<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5971960299/" title="Gainesville_ by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6135/5971960299_a506cbb663_z.jpg" alt="Gainesville_" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">So that's my story.

Recently I found just such a book through one of my favorite podcasts, <a href="http://www.radiolab.org/">RadioLab</a> . First, if you've never listened to this show, I highly recommend it. It's hosted by Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich and their <a href="http://www.radiolab.org/about/">website</a> describes the show this way:<br /><br />"Radiolab believes your ears are a portal to another world. Where sound illuminates ideas, and the boundaries blur between science, philosophy, and human experience. Big questions are investigated, tinkered with, and encouraged to grow. Bring your curiosity, and we'll feed it with possibility."<br /><br />My favorite part about the show is how excited and curious the hosts are and how fun and inspiring it is to listen along with every episode. They obviously love science and it's a joy to hear them investigate and laugh and discover. Plus the sound editing is great and the various staff members bring a lot to the table.<br /><br />Sooo....one day at work I was listening to one of their short episodes where they interviewed Richard Holmes, the author of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Age-Wonder-Romantic-Generation-Discovery/dp/1400031877/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_1"><span style="font-style: italic;">The Age of Wonder: How the Romantic Generation Discovered the Beauty and Terror of Science</span></a>. It was so fascinating, listening to the author talk about how he went from writing strictly about Romantic poets to writing about an entire period in the history of science and how it was linked with romanticism. He does this by taking a biographical approach, following the lives and achievements of prominent figures in Britain in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.<br /><br />From Joseph Banks and his voyage to Tahiti (and subsequent nurturing of young scientific talent in London) to William and Caroline Herschel's astronomical discoveries, Mary Shelley's <span style="font-style: italic;">Frankenstein</span> and its reflection of fears concerning the newly envisioned occupation of scientist, and Humphry Davy's bold achievements in the field of chemistry, Holmes demonstrates how romantic science re-envisioned the world and the universe, inspired by a sense of awe, creativity, and possibility. He also sheds light on their personal lives, their joys, hopes, achievements disappointments and flaws, making them seem all the more compelling and shedding light on the context in which they made their discoveries.<br /><br />The best part of the book is that it reads like an adventure story with many characters all endeavoring within the same milieu. My personal favorites were <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Herschel">the Herschel's</a>, the German brother and sister immigrants (to Britain) who cast & polished their own large telescopes in their basement (can you imagine?!) and went on to map and chart nebulae, discover comets and planets, construct and operate a 40-foot telescope, and promote the concept of deep space. I very much appreciated that Holmes paid equal attention to Caroline and her journey from neglected child to William's assistant and eventually to an internationally recognized comet huntress in her own right.<br /><br />Personally, I was never previously interested enough in science to seek out books about it in my spare time. But this book was fascinating and downright exciting. If you're looking for something interesting and well-written, I'd definitely give it a try.<br /><br />....<br /><br />Well, I'm off to Florida tomorrow to visit my sister for the weekend. I probably won't write again until after I get back on Sunday, but I'll try to take lots of pictures. I hope everyone else has a great weekend!<br /><br />xx Kelley Anne xx<br /><br /></div>Kelley Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13180432161417934307noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9166232824912507030.post-18130892843920820482011-07-12T21:23:00.003-04:002011-07-12T21:42:21.448-04:00Simple but Flirty<div style="text-align: center;">Just a short outfit post tonight. It was so warm today, and even tonight. I decided to wear this light polyester dress that I thrifted last year. I love the ruffly little collar and keyhole opening in the front. These little details give a very sweet, feminine feeling to a simple dress. Its so nice to finally shed all of the layers from our long winter and as a result, I've been keeping my wardrobe very basic lately: few accessories paired with flirty, but pretty summer dresses like this one. Part and parcel, my silver spoon bracelet has become a fixture. Several years ago, my mom bought my sister and I these bracelets at a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumquat">kumquat</a> festival in Florida. It's both elegant and sentimental and always sparks conversation.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5931756793/" title="graphic_dress by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6143/5931756793_92bdaecf14_z.jpg" alt="graphic_dress" width="391" height="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5932312602/" title="graphic_detail by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6023/5932312602_b60a6273c4_z.jpg" alt="graphic_detail" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5932312098/" title="graphic_close by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6121/5932312098_1b2ee09336_z.jpg" alt="graphic_close" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5931757353/" title="spoon_bracelet by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6125/5931757353_d03988d8a5_z.jpg" alt="spoon_bracelet " width="640" height="427" /></a><br /><br />Dress: Thrifted Vintage<br />Belt: Linea Pelle (Marshall's)<br />Spoon Bracelet: Gift<br />Earrings: Thrifted<br />Shoes: Clarks<br /><br />My short hair really does go along with this desire for simplicity lately. Its so funny, I'm not quite used to seeing myself this way and when I walk in front of a mirror its a bit surprising (but in a good way that makes me giggle at myself). I love the change and the thought of pairing my slightly boyish hair with all of the feminine frocks in my wardrobe.<br /><br />Good night everybody!<br /><br /></div>Kelley Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13180432161417934307noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9166232824912507030.post-19681552164142212342011-07-10T17:15:00.007-04:002011-07-10T20:52:33.196-04:00Thrift Finds<div style="text-align: center;">This morning, Dan and I headed to his hometown to visit his mother and grandmothers. One of my favorite thrift stores is very nearby, so after lunch we headed there and I set to work perusing for almost an hour. Its always hit and miss with thrift shopping, but this place usually yields something every time I visit. Today I got really lucky.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">This first dress is definitely vintage from the late 70's, early 80's. Its short and fun and flirty, with a pretty collar and a fitted bodice. I love that the little sleeves have a slight puff to them. The former owner wrote her name on the tag in marker, so I'm debating whether to cut it out or not. I've never seen that before...has anyone else?<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5923784376/" title="blue_dress by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6147/5923784376_22d5bbee89_z.jpg" alt="blue_dress" width="489" height="640" /></a><br /><br />The next one is from <a href="http://www.bcbg.com/store/dresses/dresses-27801.html">BCBG Max Azria</a>. I absolutely love the bold giraffe-like print and the short, almost mod shape. It'll be a good transition piece to fall and winter too and I'll probably end up wearing it as a tunic over dark jeans.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5923222459/" title="giraffe_dress by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6150/5923222459_7db326eec6_z.jpg" alt="giraffe_dress" width="463" height="640" /></a><br /><br />And finally a very pretty, classic polka-dot maxi dress. I didn't think too much of it on the rack, but because of my undying love for dots and current search for more long dresses, I decided to give it a whirl in the dressing room. I'm glad I did. It fits so well! It'll be an easy, classic choice for work-days when I don't feel like fretting over what to wear.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5923786976/" title="maxi_dress by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6012/5923786976_4d114beaed_z.jpg" alt="maxi_dress" width="332" height="640" /></a><br /><br />Before leaving this store, I always cruise by the jewelry section to check out the pins and earrings. Today, I found a pretty (if ubiquitous) rose pin. My sister bought one of these a few years ago at a vintage store nearby and I've been keeping an eye out since for one that I liked. Today I got lucky. (please ignore the dog hair, that's also ubiquitous:)<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5923787662/" title="pretty_pin by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6028/5923787662_a5c1e7ed3d_z.jpg" alt="pretty_pin" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">And here's what I wore while shopping...<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5923785800/" title="floral_outfit 1 by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6026/5923785800_7bcf300cd8_z.jpg" alt="floral_outfit 1" width="403" height="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5923787256/" title="mismatched_bangles by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6140/5923787256_d13f22a251_z.jpg" alt="mismatched_bangles" width="640" height="427" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5923784792/" title="close_up by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6021/5923784792_3b4ef9d818_z.jpg" alt="close_up" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /><br />Dress: Thrifted Vintage (altered by me)<br />Perforated Wedges: Target<br />Pin: Thrifted today!<br />Earrings: Forever 21<br />Rattan Purse: Thrifted<br />Bangles: Forever 21 & Thrifted<br /><br />This dress has become my automatic go-to outfit for summer over the past few years.

I've been thinking about cutting my hair short again for months now and this afternoon I walked into my hairdresser's with a few pictures of <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=jean+seberg&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=5Mg&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=ivnso&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=X80YTpbSLszPgAeE_agZ&ved=0CCcQsAQ&biw=1366&bih=579">Jean Seberg</a> from <span style="font-style: italic;">Breathless</span> in hand, ready to commit. I love my stylist. She's enthusiastic and honest and friendly. She was so excited for me. Its wonderful to find someone who you trust implicitly with your hair.<br /><br />The last time I got it cut, I went to someone else at the same salon with a similar request. The woman was really nice, but she basically tried to convince me not to do it and said she was afraid I might really regret it and cry (for some reason, they always think I'm going to cry:). While I appreciated her candor, I found myself in the odd position of explaining to her that, yes, I had cut my hair that short before and that ultimately it's just hair and will eventually grow back. It was rather humorous.<br /><br />Today was a completely different story. I can't wait to play around with it and see what I can do.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5919405407/" title="shortie_serious by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6148/5919405407_47cf64afe0_z.jpg" alt="shortie_serious" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5919404499/" title="patternpants by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6001/5919404499_62483c458d_z.jpg" alt="patternpants" width="640" height="563" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5919964582/" title="Accessories & Cat by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6007/5919964582_b22a678999_z.jpg" alt="Accessories & Cat" width="640" height="387" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5919964896/" title="earrings_picnik by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6125/5919964896_0b81c2072d_z.jpg" alt="earrings_picnik" width="640" height="427" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5919403359/" title="majestic_mena by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6136/5919403359_60eea98be6_z.jpg" alt="majestic_mena" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /><br />(Mena wanted in on the photo action today)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5919405241/" title="shortie_glasses by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6025/5919405241_9d2c2eb176_z.jpg" alt="shortie_glasses" width="551" height="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5919966634/" title="fabRing by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6138/5919966634_b9000f8fcd_z.jpg" alt="fabRing" width="640" height="427" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5919965502/" title="me & mena by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6145/5919965502_f1995a8e8b_z.jpg" alt="me & mena" width="343" height="640" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Blouse: Thrifted<br />Shorts: Anthropologie Sale<br />Sunglasses: Vintage Store<br />Earrings: Forever 21<br />Handbag: Thrifted<br />Shoes: Target<br />Ring: Gift<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">And I also bought a new pair of purple wedge platform sandals on sale today! Luckily I just happened to be passing by my favorite shoe store and decided to pop in on a whim. They're made by Born, which is quickly turning into one of my preferred shoe brands, especially for heels. As the salesgirl said, they're just so comfortable.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5919965766/" title="new_shoes by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6138/5919965766_97d556dd1b_z.jpg" alt="new_shoes" width="640" height="427" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5919404207/" title="new_shoes 1 by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6012/5919404207_c0debb7ebf_z.jpg" alt="new_shoes 1" width="552" height="640" /></a><br /><br />For years, I wouldn't dare wear platforms or heels over three inches. I'm almost six feet tall anyway, so I thought I'd just stick out even more. And I was convinced that I'm such a clutz that I'd constantly be tripping and falling. But the other day, when I said something about my lack of coordination to a friend, he looked at me for a minute and then told me he thinks I don't give myself enough credit. I've decided that I think he's right. I can handle walking in these shoes.<br /><br />Its funny how the stories that stick with us from our childhoods sometimes shape who we think we are. I grew really, really fast in elementary school (an entire foot in one year!) and ended up feeling really awkward while adjusting to my new body. Ever since, I've always thought of myself as an inelegant, clumsy person who tends to physically stick out. But maybe I've just been seeing it all wrong and taking lots of things about myself for granted.<br /><br />Oh, and if you get a chance, I started a new blog for my art called <a href="http://dreamsbykelley.wordpress.com/">Dreams By Kelley</a>.

Its been a while (again). I've been home sick for the past two days and have been mulling over quite a few things. I've been feeling an itch lately, but one that I can't seem to locate to successfully scratch it:) I realized looking through my blog roll last night that I really miss blogging. As a general rule, I tend to get caught up in what I think is expected of me and let those perceptions dictate what I do and how I do it. Its only recently that I've realized I need to trust myself and do things because I want to do them, rather than looking to other people for a guide as to what I should do. My husband is really great at following his heart and interests and I'm slowly (thankfully) coming to learn some things from him.<br /><br />This is such a cliche that its somewhat hard to write, but here goes...what does it mean to be successful? I have always had a mishmash of goals that fit into that category in my mind, but they always fit into my desire to receive recognition and approval from other people. I'm beginning to see that I have to be happy with myself whether I get that approval or not. When I stopped consistently blogging about ten months ago, it was partially because I thought my efforts weren't interesting enough. Now, I'm beginning to see that that was a lot of melarky because they interested me and the blog was always meant to be one of my creative outlets. So, in a long delayed move, I'm going to start blogging again about the things that I'm interested in -- poetry, art, vintage, thrifting, photography.<br /><br />I also started another blog (that's also listed in my blog roll) called<a href="http://dreamsbykelley.wordpress.com/"> </a><a href="http://dreamsbykelley.wordpress.com/">Dreams By Kelley</a>. There I'll post several pieces of my art every week. My husband Dan is writing a graphic novel. Every night, he sits down and writes one page; no matter what he always finds time to do this. I'm going to follow his lead and stop being so hard on myself. Dan always says that its not how many times you get knocked down that matters in life, but how many times you pick yourself back up again. Here goes nothing.<br /><br /></div>Kelley Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13180432161417934307noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9166232824912507030.post-64338241671420933042011-03-16T12:31:00.008-04:002011-03-16T13:54:49.812-04:00Poems by Matthea Harvey<p style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" class="poemTitle"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">*Some Poems by Matthea Harvey*</span><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" class="poemTitle"><span style="font-size:100%;">SETTING THE TABLE</span></p> <p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:lucida grande;" class="poem"><span style="font-size:100%;">To cut through night you'll need your sharpest scissors. Cut around the birch, the bump of the bird nest on its lowest limb. Then with your nail scissors, trim around the baby beaks waiting for worms to fall from the sky. Snip around the lip of the mailbox and the pervert's shoe peeking out from behind the Chevy. Before dawn, rip the silhouette from the sky and drag it inside. Frame the long black stripe and hang it in the dining room. Sleep. When you wake, redo the scene as day in doily. Now you have a lacy fence, a huge cherry blossom of a holly bush, a birch sugared with snow. Frame the white version and hang it opposite the black. Get your dinner and eat it between the two scenes. Your food will taste just right.</span></p><p class="poem" style="font-family:lucida grande;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:lucida grande;" class="poem"><span style="font-size:100%;">YOU HAVE MY EYES</span></p><p style="text-align: left; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:lucida grande;" class="poem"><span style="font-size:100%;">Give them Back.</span></p><p style="text-align: left; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:lucida grande;" class="poem"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:lucida grande;" class="poem"><span style="font-size:100%;">OUT OF ORDER</span></p><p style="text-align: left; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:lucida grande;" class="poem"><span style="font-size:100%;">Today it's about truth and hope</span></p><p style="text-align: left; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:lucida grande;" class="poem"><span style="font-size:100%;">and there are no ha-ha's</span></p><p style="text-align: left; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:lucida grande;" class="poem"><span style="font-size:100%;">between me and the living.</span></p><p style="text-align: left; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:lucida grande;" class="poem"><span style="font-size:100%;">World, I'm no one</span></p><p style="text-align: left; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:lucida grande;" class="poem"><span style="font-size:100%;"> to complain about you</span>.<br /></p><pre><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style=";font-family:lucida grande;font-size:100%;" ><br />All poems from <a href="http://www.mattheaharvey.info/books/index.html"><span style="font-style: italic;">Modern Life</span></a> by <a href="http://www.mattheaharvey.info/">Matthea Harvey</a></span><br /></span></pre>Kelley Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13180432161417934307noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9166232824912507030.post-50380575720983347312011-03-13T20:43:00.002-04:002011-03-13T20:55:34.159-04:00Work in Progress<div style="text-align: center;"><br />Lately I've been spending most of my creative time working on a collage, mixed media piece. Its going to take a while, but I love throwing myself into a project and slowly finishing each element. Its been particularly slow lately as I've been sick all week. Yuck! Here are some photos of the work in progress.<br /><br />Every time I draw a picture, I feel like it has an elaborate story hidden within it. Somebody commented to this effect a few posts ago and it got me thinking about ways that I can incorporate text into the picture.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5524130995/" title="WIP 2p by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5097/5524130995_8de61bc65d_z.jpg" alt="WIP 2p" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5524724332/" title="WIP 5p by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5098/5524724332_41c8767747_z.jpg" alt="WIP 5p" width="640" height="427" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5524724176/" title="WIP 4p by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5057/5524724176_5948f21c81_z.jpg" alt="WIP 4p" width="640" height="427" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5524131257/" title="WIP 3p by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5016/5524131257_58cf42f676_z.jpg" alt="WIP 3p" width="406" height="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5524130657/" title="WIP 1p by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5091/5524130657_a2f9161f5b_z.jpg" alt="WIP 1p" width="640" height="458" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5524131803/" title="WIP 6p by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5020/5524131803_5b0d6b95c8_z.jpg" alt="WIP 6p" width="640" height="399" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5524130451/" title="WIPp by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5056/5524130451_bf5dfe0f91_z.jpg" alt="WIPp" width="640" height="427" /></a><br /><br />...and a gratuitous cool shoe shot because I walked around our apartment breaking these beauties in all day and just wanted to share them, since I can't wear them outside yet :)<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5524130181/" title="gratuitous shoe shotp by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5252/5524130181_d1e45e9e28_z.jpg" alt="gratuitous shoe shotp" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /><br />How was your weekend?<br /><br /></div>Kelley Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13180432161417934307noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9166232824912507030.post-35827565249235974062011-03-08T16:16:00.002-05:002011-03-08T16:19:41.549-05:00Secrets of the Sea<div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5510425304/" title="seascape by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5297/5510425304_12c92bc828_z.jpg" alt="seascape" width="640" height="494" /></a><br /><br />Can you tell?

The first one of these that I signed up for was a sculpture workshop at a local museum. It was so wonderful! The class was only four hours long and among the ten students, most of us were beginners. We arranged the work areas around the model, the instructor did a short demonstration of the method we were supposed to employ and then we took a block of clay and some tools and just started to sculpt. Every five minutes or so, we would move to a different area of the room to see the model from that perspective and the instructor walked around and gave suggestions.<br /><br />The time flew by so quickly, I could hardly believe that it was four hours long. In the end, we all lined up our pieces and talked about our observations. My sculpture was pretty much what she said it would be -- it resembles a woman, but there really wasn't time for too many details. Instead we focused on identifying the planes that we observed and shaving off pieces of the clay that corresponded. It felt so good to get lost in the process and covered in clay; to learn something new.<br /><br />I liked the class so much that I'm going to take a longer course over the summer.</div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5497599486/" title="sculpture9p by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5213/5497599486_dc12a038fc_z.jpg" alt="sculpture9p" width="640" height="427" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5497005145/" title="sculpture6p by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5258/5497005145_284f693236_z.jpg" alt="sculpture6p" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5497005785/" title="sculpture13p by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5300/5497005785_7094d59e42_z.jpg" alt="sculpture13p" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5497599684/" title="sculpture11p by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5211/5497599684_218f648365_z.jpg" alt="sculpture11p" width="640" height="427" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5497599098/" title="sculpture4p by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5136/5497599098_77b4f565b5_z.jpg" alt="sculpture4p" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5497599820/" title="sculpture12p by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5300/5497599820_d2ca083c04_z.jpg" alt="sculpture12p" width="427" height="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5497005993/" title="sculpture15p by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5014/5497005993_5dd02d208c_z.jpg" alt="sculpture15p" width="427" height="640" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kelley_anne/5497004925/" title="sculpture3p by Kelley-Anne, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5256/5497004925_a90a131924_z.jpg" alt="sculpture3p" width="427" height="640" /></a></div>Kelley Annehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13180432161417934307noreply@blogger.com7
