winter chill.

We've been having just a bitter cold here! However it is incomparable to some winters past, but I just can't seem to get used to the cold... I'm not sure how I survived as a child when we migrated from Honolulu to Boston with it's harsh winters! It's amazing how adaptable our bodies are as children. My fiance says it's all about having a mental state of warmth, but I try and try and it never works for me!

Anyway, I had to suck it up while doing a shoot with the adorable Jessika Levine. I thoroughly enjoyed our photo shoot outing up north by the ferry dock, though my hands, toes and face were numb from it. I believe it was raining the entire shoot, but it aided in the wet look :) Here's some shots from our shoot:

a grande engagement.

As you may have picked up from the last post, my charming & adorable boyfriend of the past three years proposed! I should have known... but I had been so busy with my graduation that I had forgotten I told him "you have to wait until after I graduate!" to propose. Little did I know he would wait exactly one week! He flew in our friend, and amazing photographer, Jessica Valle for the proposal and engagement shoot. It was quite fun working with her and Ryan while walking all round the piers and pike place for the photos. Here are my favourites; hope you enjoy them:

Engagement outfit: 1. silk print blouse Tulle   2. pima modal tank Vince   3. high waisted skirt American Apparel   4. ankle booties Forever 21
