Shave Ice

~~~~

This was one of my first days on Maui. And my second shave ice of the trip! Don't remember how many I ate by the end but...safe to say more than enough. Shave ice is SO good! Our family favorite is Breakwall Shave Ice in Lahaina, Maui. If you're ever in the area for some crazy reason...it's a must have!

Makeup Monday

SCHOOL IS OVER! Although I don't graduate until the very beginning of June, my school does a really cool thing called Senior Projects. I told you guys about this a while back but it only just started today, and so far it's been awesome! During the day I spent time with the friends I'm doing my project with and took lots of video. Then, in the afternoon I went to my friend Margaux's house to help her with her project--a makeup blog.
And so, you may notice that my makeup looks a lot more prominent in these pictures! Margaux did my makeup and I thought it worked really well with this outfit! To keep up with her makeovers and to get some ideas of your own, check out her blog "MAKEUPBYMARGAUX".

Some (New)s

My week on Water Island, right off the coast of St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands, flew by. I've been home since Tuesday but haven't gotten around to posting yet because I had SO many photos to sort through, and so much to do!!! It's 2014 guys, my blog is now 2 years old, my 365 project is complete....and life is good. Many people have asked me if I'm going to do the 365 again. My answer: no. I will probably never do it again, for a few reasons: One--it was hard, it was tiring, it was stressful. Of course it was worth it, though, for I created some of my best pictures ever. It's only January third and already it's been strange to not be taking pictures everyday. But I'm ready to move on. Two--In all honesty, I don't know if I would be able to do it again. I worked so hard this year on my 365 and was (almost) always wholeheartedly devoted. I'll admit, there are some pictures that just don't meet the high creative standard I hold myself to. But life gets in the way sometimes, and I don't want to chance not finishing something I've started. Three--this year, 2013, was special. Thanks to my 365, I'll remember one of the best years of my life for as long as I live. Why should I try to top that, or to recreate it? I don't want to. I want this past year to be unique and special. Doing it again would make this past year lose some of that sparkle. BUT. My project mindset will live on. This year my 365 helped keep me to a schedule. And although it was hard to do at times, I think it was good for me. And looking back, and looking at my results, I am just so proud of myself for doing this. I don't want to be modest. I did this, and for that I am so proud. And I think I can do it again--with a twist.... Dear 2014: my graduation year, the year I'll step with finality onto a college campus, the year I'll embrace adulthood, the year I'll learn to live; I want to remember you differently than I did your predecessor.
And so, Wear Abouts readers, I'm excited to introduce to you a new project, a new idea, my New Years resolution, and a wholeheartedly "Rory" endeavor: The 52 project. A poem a week, for the 52 weeks of 2014. Check it out.
As a photography lover and poetry guru alike, it's only fair that I embrace the other side of my creativity for the new year.
Happy New Year, everybody. What are you doing to make this year count?

Snow Day

Not the most special of outfits, just leggings and a sweater, but my friend Hannah and I were trying to match on this BEAUTIFUL snow day that we had off of school! :) Snow makes me so happy--it's so pretty and makes beautiful picture opportunities. I was looking online for some snowy photography inspiration and found an absolutely beautiful engagement shoot in the snow. And then I started thinking about Christmas and how it's the perfect season for love. Don't worry--I'm not getting engaged, I'm not in love, nothing like that! Just having a day off like that to spend with a friend doing what I love (photographing) inspired me to create some wintry, happy, love themed collections below. Featured in all of those collages I put diamond engagement rings from Anjolee--because like I was saying, if you do have that special someone in your life--it's the perfect season for it. A proposal in the snow would be VERY ROMANTIC! And I'm so excited to get my snow fix in early! I'll be posting some more shots of Hannah from our photoshoot next week! :)

Here are some of my favorite rings:

Plus, you can get them engraved! Ahh! I'm totally gonna make my husband some day buy me a big beautiful ring or else. Just kidding. Sort of. ;)

Ring #1: Get it here

Ring #2: Get it here

Ring #3: Get it here

Merry early Christmas!! :)
