Sunset by the Lake
>> Sunday, October 3, 2010
It's so nice having the lake to ourselves again. Now that the weather is turning cold, the park is pretty deserted rendering it perfect for photo shoots. There is nothing more serene to me than a sunset by the lake. We had to shoot fast because within no time the sun was turning bright orange and falling behind the horizon.
If you spotted yesterday's tumblr, you probably noticed that I mentioned shopping in Ann Arbor at American Apparel. Well, I did and I bought this lovely navy blue beret. You've seen my old black beret many times, but I've been dying for a navy blue one for as long as I've owned my duffle coat. I think they go together perfectly.
Photos by Cole. Thanks, darling!

You look like a hot movie star/school girl. Wonderful photos.
PS- I keep everything too! :-)
i love your bag! i splurged and bough a cambridge satchel and I cannot wait to get it!
This is the perfect outfit!
Those socks and shoes look so lovely together.
And the sunset is a lovely backdrop for these shots.

I don't care how old those socks are - I love them!!
I think that is so amazing! You are living proof that there is such a thing as timeless and classic clothes. I admire it :)
Also those shoes are thrifted? They are in great condition!

Lovely outfit! I love how the old the clothes are, you really are an inspiration in showing how you can keep clothes for ages and use accesories to rework them! (saves money)xxx
I love his outfit, its so classic. The knee highs are my favourite touch.
the 5th photo = so gorgeous. I love it very much.
Lipstick and beret? All riiiiiiight. :D I love it.
Sometimes I think you can't augment the beauty of your Photos! But you're doing it again and again!:) Kudos to Cole! This shoot is perfect! The setting, the light, your Outfit, just everthing! Oh and the new beret suits you very well! Love the navy blue color. xx, Alice from bells and whistles
Ps: Thanks a million for the great comment on my newest Post. I feel honored :)
I love bright lips with neural clothes, and that beret is great. I've been looking for a beret for fall.
Oh, the landscape there is breath taking. I love your satchel!
these are so so beautifulx

love the knee high/loafer combo!!!
This outfit is so great. I love that they've been closet staples of yours for so long. I also enjoy that this post is just that - things you have owned for a while. It's refreshing to see that, especially since a lot of fashion bloggers (speaking generally here - not about the vintage blogging community) have the newest thing: Chloe, MiuMiu, Mulberry, etc. Most of us can't afford that!!
Anyway, your photos look like they could have been shot in the 50's. Bravo.

Sounds silly, but I couldn't help but be amazed that your socks from high school are still in perfectly cute condition! Mine like to wear out on the heels and toes fairly quickly, especially my favorite ones. :(
amazing photos as always! you always look so classic! Working in finance in Andover you say? Did you work with a tall man named Dan Wagner? Just a shot in the dark!
These photo's are fantastic. The light, picture locations and outfit really work together so well. Just gorgeous.

You are absolutely gorgeous..such a classic beauty. There's nothing I don't love about your outfit:-)
Love your outfit. I want to thief every piece! I've been searching for a duffle and shoes like that for a while now and your satchel is so sweet too! *swoon*
