Sneak Peak: Abandoned House

Abandoned HouseAbandoned House
Sorry for the two month blog absence, things have been a little crazy for me, I have a new job working as an assistant at a real estate company which is what led me to this lovely old abandoned house. This house was built in 1862 and boy is it amazing. The pictures above are of the kitchen. Sadly this house will be destroyed once the property is bought so I have been sneaking in and taking pictures and rummaging through what was left behind. Every time I go the sun seems to disappear, so this is just a sneak peak of what's inside. Im hoping to get a good round of pictures to show you guys how neat this house really is.

As of Late

Well its already well into November and here I am posting pictures of my Halloween costume. Well better late than never right? I was a cat for Halloween and I decided to try to make ears out of my hair, not the most easy thing to do but I really liked how they turned out, and I think that if I did them again I think I would spread them apart more.

Over the weekend I ended up going to the DC big flea and found the most amazing 20s hat of my dreams. It was a hundred bucks so I didn't get it but I did snap a few pics of it for memory. I also got the sellers card so if one day and suddenly have a hundred extra bucks lying around, I can get it (if she still has it).

Last but not least the best part of my week! Yesterday my boyfriend and I went to Richmond, Va to see Sufjan Stevens and boy was it amazing! If only you know all the crazy events that led up to me going to this show, I didn't think I was going to be able to go but thankfully I did. Might I also add that Mr. Stevens is quite the fox.

Tuesday


Outfit Details: (what you can see)
Jacket and bag: Estate sale
Skirt: Pollysues
Tights: Hue
Shoes: Thrift

On Tuesday My boyfriend and I decided to go to the National Harbor. Its not a very exciting place so we didn't end up staying long but I did go to a peeps store (didn't know they existed). We just went in to see what it was all about, and they had a huge three foot stuffed peep for about 400 bucks . Im not sure who would actually by that but you never know! They also had a Cakelove so we decided to see if that had any vegan options and they did but they where the worst cupcakes I have ever had, however the icing wasn't so bad! I'm sure there regular kind are better! After that we went to lunch in Arlington and hit up a vintage shop that was close by that I had never been too. It had some great stuff and I came home with 3 great dresses so all in all it was a good day!

Pumpkin Pickin'

Well due to a crazy work schedule I waited until the last minute to pick pumpkins. I really wanted to go to pick them out of a pumpkin patch but they are only open on Saturdays, and Sundays, and well I work both days so I was stuck with one of those side-of-the-road deals. My boyfriend and I both found pumpkins and carved them that night now I fell ready for Halloween! Tonight and tomorrow I'm going to a party so I cant wait to get all dressed up! I hope everyone is have a great Fall/Halloween season. Stay tuned for pictures of my Halloween costume, the best part is I get to dress up at work!!

Back In Town


Welp Im back, I thought I'd post a few pics of the trip. The first photo is of my boyfriend and I right after the wedding, I wish I took a picture of my little 30's dress without a cardigan on but I'm glad I at least got this picture! It was a busy busy day and week! I went all nerdy couple and matched my tights to his tie, he also had mustard socks on too, haha!


On the way to New York we decided to stop and Vegan Treats a vegan Bakery in Bethlehem, Pa. It was so good we went on the way back too! This place beats any other vegan restaurant I have every been too.....seriously. The best thing they had was there doughnuts, and the soft serve. The first time we were there it was peanut butter soft serve, then on the way back it was maple. They said they had pumpkin but I didn't get lucky enough to go on the day they had it. We also got brownie cheesecake, cookies, and more brownies. I still have a little piece of brownie left that I'm saving for later tonight!

Going Away

Well I'm off to upstate New York tomorrow for a family wedding, so I thought I'd do a mini post on my packing and what not. When I was younger I would pack weeks in advance for trips planing out every single outfit I was gonna wear. Now I'm not as crazy but I did plan my outfits a little bit just so I didn't over pack, and isn't dressing so much more fun while your on vacation? I think so. Heres a little picture of an outfit I came up with while packing, I'm hoping to take lots of outfit pictures while I am there so expect some soon! 

Im sure I will end wearing this while I'm there, I really love the color combination!

My neatly packed suitcase!
