Little School House
>> Wednesday, January 27, 2010
For some reason I was in a foul mood during this shoot. I'm not sure if it was the freezing cold weather, the fact that I was starving or simply just pissed about my bad hair day (in all seriousness, this winter is killing my hair). I'm pretty sure it was all of the above! And poor Cole took the brunt of my ugly mood and wanted to strangle me. My apologies darling.
But enough about me, how wonderful is this little old school house? I love finding historical sites in Michigan, since they're so few and far between. Especially considering that you could trip over one on every block where I used to live in MA. Plus, I've always loved the idea of a rural, one-room school house. It's so Little House on the Prairie or Anne of Green Gables.

I love your jacket. And those shoes always look great when you wear them. I could tell you werent your usual smiley self in those photos, but you still look gorgeous!
Guess what, i went to brighton school...sorry to say it wasnt district No. 5 hehe. It made a lovely background for these photos.

Gorgeous style!
I think this is gorgeous and hysterical. You are in character as a disgruntled schoolgirl...tell Cole that anyway!
I really love the setting and I thought your hair looked good actually.

i love your duffle coat!!it saved me from freezing in Paris last week!
great pics...Cole has done a great job!!
Awww Brighton. I miss Michigan (not so much the snow). I usually really don't like it when girls wear ties but for some reason you look so great wearing them and I actually really like your look!
Have you ever been to Milford? It's a really nice town and they have a pretty cool consignment store there, called 'Our Blessings'. It is not as cheap as the Salvation Army but they mostly sell quality clothing and they have wonderful furniture there, too!
ah you look adorable! it's schoolboy inspired that's not over the top.
Love the boots, tie and jacket! That schoolhouse is just gorgeous!
Gorgeous outfit, Maria.
You look so cute xx
Your hair looks great, but, oh weren't your knees cold?
Loved the look: you're rocking that tie and shirt!

Totally Annes school house!

I was looking at these pictures thinking, wow, Maria looks SO pretty here, and yet, quite different. Then it hit me.
You weren't wearing any lipstick and your hair looked like a perfect 60s bob fringe. wow. you look so pretty!
But you look so pretty with the lipstick aswell!
Thanks for all the comments etc.. xxx

Nice! But looks really cold! I'd rather wear two pairs of thights and a jeans before I go to school with this weather. Gorgeous house!

I really adore your hair cut, I wishI had it, seriously. and your little light brown model on your cheek, is soooo endearing, I wish I had one! would it be ok if I drew you??
I didn't realize you were also in michigan!

How very Proenza Schouler. Love it! And you have killer legs. I'd rock shorts in the snow if I had those too.

You havesuch a lovely chic outfit:)Oh, you must have been freezing in the snow with no tights...And the little old school is absolutely adorable.
Hi darling-
Your hair looks wonderful. I think the thing about bad hair days is that only you can tell (or think that your hair looks bad,) everyone else probably thinks you look wonderful as always! I'm digging your coat so much.

This couldnt be a better setting for your awesome outfit! You look right out of a Ralph Lauren ad. xoxo Jolie
