Photo Diary 9/29/12

The month of September has been a long one. I started school so all my free time has been spent studying and doing homework. I really have no time to take pictures, which upsets me. But I'll have plenty of time as the weeks go by. Shooting a little by little on the weekends. I've been planning to start doing bigger shoots in the near future. The month of October is always my favorite and I always get so inspired with the Halloween things. I have a bunch of things in store so stick with me! 

I'm also planning on working on my website more and getting that up and more usable. Also I need to start posting more on here. Just to throw up a small little shoots I do here and there. The only stable thing I use is instagram and twitter. Follow me on there @ unicorngrease to stay updated! 

I hope you are all doing fine and enjoying the fall season! Talk to you soon!

Newspaper Dress 2.0

A quick little update on what's going on in my life. So I'm currently taking a break from packing to do this post. Tomorrow morning I'm leaving to go back to the beach! I'm going to turn into a beach bum by the end of the summer. Before I left I wanted to share with you all some pictures I took the other day.

I made another newspaper dress. I always find them really fun to make, because I construct them on the model at the location of the shoot. So it's a one of a kind piece that is literally ripped off after the pictures. So it's almost as if the dress is only alive and real within the picture and within the work. So I'll go ahead and show you all the pictures!

Special thanks to my friend Lauren for enduring the heat and letting me tape newspaper all over her! Also, I haven't been posting that many recent pictures from my shoots because I am saving them for my book. But I will be slowly releasing them soon, promise.

LOOKBOOK

So I'm laying here writing this inside of a blanket/pillow fort I built, listening to the immense amount of thunder and watching the flickering of lightning bounce around my room. It's 5am and I haven't slept in almost 24 hours. I don't know why but every summer for a short period I go through this weird faze where I literally cannot fall asleep. I can lay in bed for hours and will not be tired. It doesn't matter if I wake up early in the morning and have a busy day and tire myself out, I cannot sleep. It's awful. At least this night I get to listen to the rain and thunder. I haven't built a fort since I was little and I figured, what the heck; lack of sleep will make you do and oddity of things. But this is comforting and soothing. 


Aside from the little insomnia rant above, the reason I'm writing this post is to update you all on a new social media site I recently joined. I've been knowing about it for a few years but never really took the time to look into it and really figure out what it is all about. But when school let out a few weeks ago I went on and nosed around and really liked it. It's called LOOKBOOK.nu. Basically what the site is, in a nutshell, is where you take a picture of yourself and you list all the clothing you are wearing. You can fan others and 'hype' their looks, along with commenting. I thought it was a really neat way to share you fashion ideas and also pick up a few from other look bookers. 


The community on lookbook is amazing. Everyone is super friendly. I only recently created an account and only have 3 looks posted at the moment and have already received more hypes, comments, and fans I could have asked for in such a short period. If you haven't already I highly suggest visiting the site and creating an account of your own. You can view my page --> HERE <-- 
Below are some pictures I have on the site.
