I'm Not The Kind of Girl Who Shows My Slip

Except I let my slip peek out in one of the photos [daring, I know]. Did the last photo make you giggle? I hope so! I joked, "Is this a good pose?" and proceeded to look gawky.

 My sister-in-law visited this week and took these pictures of me. She's a great photographer! She left this morning and I miiiissss her! Nik and I might pressure her to move here once college is completed. And I wouldn't feel rotten for it.

Come back, Lacye!! [There will be a post of the outfits above. She has swell style]

Pale Skin in Central Park

I couldn't think of a title (this happens with every post) so I picked the two things that popped into my head first. Clearly there's a pale face in these shots [don't get me wrong, I LOVE pale/fair/light skin. I was the bride who ran away from sunlight leading up to my wedding so that my skin would be creamy and p-a-l-e.] and rather than a "pop of color" as the saying goes, there is a pop from blinding lightness. It's great, amIright? The other deciding factor was simple since these were quickly taken in Central Park while on errands. Thanks to my husband for taking these!

My Life Is Cooler In Instagram

Here are a few favorite moments from Instagram of late:

{L-R}
 1. My Danny Robert's recreation for my new series, Painted Face. Not going to lie, I am uber proud of
     it and the artist himself exclaimed "awesome!" on my Instagram. #Itotallysquealedwithjoy  
 2. On set of the short film A Piece of You. Makeup by me! Such fun :)
 3. Hung my mug rack so our home is now HOME. (I have a mug collection and each one has specific
      memories attached to it. I am VERY attached to them. One has traveled around the world with me.)
 4.  While assisting on set of an Exit Magazine shoot I had the honor of meeting Debra and Joyce, two
       fine ladies of Ari's Advanced Style posse. They are the epitome of style and originality. Love
       them both!
 5. My super talented photographer friend, Mallory, visited NYC soon after my move and we had an
      impromptu shoot in Central Park. Then she posted this picture on her new and amazing site. And
      now I think of myself as a celebrity of sorts. #ImtheRealDeal (check out her sweet talents here).
 6. My alter ego is a rock star (TOLD you I'm a celebrity-in my head counts).
 7. My portfolio site is complete and up on the web! Many thanks to my dashing and talented husband
     for creating it! View his talents here, and my stellar site here.
 8. It's too cold for open shoes unless you wear socks with them. Note: must make it funky or at
     least, spunky.
 9. I'm teaching myself a few tricks with my camera and the awesome Nagela of Silver Lining Studio
     snapped a candid while we dressed up Prospect Park with dainty dishes and tableware for a shoot.

There you have a peak into my life. The curated one at least. You can find me on Instagram by the same name, StyleOfYourOwn. The other days find me like the celebrity that I am trying to keep a normal life like everyone else.

For now,

Mollie
