Happy Halloween

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to celebrate! I love getting dressed up and owning my costume... speaking like I'm from the 40's, being a little proper asking for my cigarette to be lit even though it's fake. ;) Here's part two of our Halloween series of smoking in the bathroom...

 

 

 

Happy Halloween!

Love, Youa

Hairritable

hair·ri·ta·ble /he(ə)iritəbəl/

Adjective: Being annoyed or made upset by one's own hair. 

Yes, this word is completely made up by yours truly! Back in spring I had this grand idea to chop off five inches of hair thinking I'd wake up every morning looking like Carrie Bradshaw circa season four. I've yet to experience such a day! Short hair is so hard to maintain and it's given me the worse bedhead of my life. I have to wake up an extra 15 minutes to put some curls in it or blow it out flat. For someone who is not a morning person, 15 minutes is a lot of time (reference Inception dream time). 

I'm sure every girl gets hairritable at some point or time right?

What makes you hairritable?

Fall Beauty Looks To Try

One of the many great things about having sisters is the ability to play dress up! I remember growing up my sisters and I would sit around the house and spend hours playing with make-up and dressing up just for the fun of it. Let’s just say we all had big imaginations!

A few weeks ago when I purchased my Pentax K1000 I was really excited to test it out. I text my baby sister Mailee asking her to put together a few fall beauty looks for a quick photoshoot that day and when I showed up to her house she literally took 5 minutes to pull each look together. What a pro right? Those days of playing dress up totally paid off! ;)

Here are Mailee's three beauty looks she will be wearing this fall…  

One. Light smoky eyes and nude lip.

  

  Two. The bright red lip. 

Three. Big hair.

All the above images were shot with my Pentax on Fuji film. I love the grain on film. The last two photos really set the mood for the dark fall look we were going for. Here are two digital photos to compare the two formats.

Isn't Mailee so gorgeous...?
