I am a firm believer that the weather dictates how my mood should be, and today I am happy as a clam! It is absolutely beautiful today, and the rest of this week its only supposed to get better and better! I am completely thrilled!
And since it's so gorgeous out, I am just about to run out the door to snap a few photos in the cemetery, then do a teensy bit of shopping before my shift tonight O:-) .. I am actually planning on returning the dress I am wearing above, along with a Jason Wu dress that the tag reads small, but fits more like a large.. I just can't wear this leopard bodycon without thinking Flinstones, it's got to be the print or something, I initially bought it thinking it was such a cute retro number, but the more I wear it and think about it I just can't stop thinking Wilma or Pebbels,
But before I head out, as I was taking these photos the other day, I saw about 15 deer! They just came out of the woods and were playing in the field across the street from the cemetery I was in! It was incredible, cars were whipping by rushing home and they were in plain sight, but they just frolicked about with their white tails up, not a care in the world. Seeing them interact with each other in their natural habitat was one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen. I wish I could have taken better photos, but I was in such awe that I snapped a few photos very quickly in case they were just passing through, but no, they stayed and played for about 10 minutes, then they were off into the woods again.. I wonder if these are the same group of deer who are in my yard late at night/in the early mornings.. hmm, either way, it was a beautiful thing to experience.

Easter Sunday and its little surprises.

I can already tell you that you'll be seeing quite a lot of this dress this spring and summer, its brand new, but its easily climbed its way up to the top of my favorites category. Its so thin and flowy, it will be perfect for those hot summer days. Uhh I just can't wait for warmer  days.. :) But the cardigan and the shoes are also new! The shoes are a little on the small side, and the cardigan is a little on this bigger side, so hopefully it shrinks in the wash, and the shoes stretch a little the more I wear them! I've been looking for the perfect peep toe flat, these aren't them, but for $3 I just couldn't say no! I mean, would you be able to?!

But did you all have a nice Easter? I hope the Easter Bunny was good to you all! He certainly was to me! I am almost certain the next time I take photos I will look four times the size that I am, I've literally been living off of peeps and cadbury eggs. So good, yet so so bad.. haha. But I was even able to see Ben on Easter! It was the best Easter I've ever had! He's been away on tour for the last month touring the United States, and now he's gone for another month touring Europe and the UK (Currently in Amsterdam, but he'll be in Paris tomorrow!) but he had a day between the ending of one tour and his flight for the second, so we ended up getting a hotel room in Boston and having the best night together, ugh it was just so perfect.. Now I am hoping this next month absolutely flies by because it was such a tease only spending a single night with him! Although I am almost certain he disagrees since this is his first time in Europe and the UK..


Oh and please try to ignore the difference in editing after the first three photos.. The sunlight was shining through the trees behind me and a split second later it had completely set! I was so bummed because I loved the "golden hour" look I was getting.. I tried to recreate it, quite terribly if you can not tell, I mean, I am sure I could have done a better job if I had just taken my time with editing it, but I realized today was one of the only days I had to relax and it is already pretty late in the day, so I just wanted to get this entry up in time!

They say that the world was built for two, only worth living if somebody is loving you.

I am the weirdo who goes and hangs out in cemeteries by herself. Here's the honest to god proof.. I used to hang out here all the time when I was in high school, me and my friends would 'sneak out' (my parents are very cool so they didn't care, but we liked to pretend they'd be mad if they knew..) late at night and freak ourselves out while we did a loop around the graveyard. It's definitely been years since I've been back, I almost forgot such a pretty location (kind of morbid, no?) was a 20 second drive from my house..

I had the entire day off yesterday and was planning on spending it how I normally spend my days off, unshowered, unmade-up, and creating a permanent divot in the couch cushions.. But I decided I should go get myself all made up and take photos in the cemetery. It may be difficult to tell considering my updating this blog has been so spotty lately, but I'm wearing some new items that have never been seen before on INDIE elise! I've wanted the perfect shirt dress for a long, long while. This isn't quite it, but it's pretty lovely in itself. And a disclaimer here; I do wear pants when ever I have worn this shirt-tunic. It's definitely cutting it a little too close to hoochie.. But the tights and jewelry are new as well! I am madly in love with the earrings, I'm not sure they are visible in any of the pictures, but I can definitely promise you you'll be seeing them again, and a lot. They have definitely worked their way into my 'favorites' collection.

But now I must go get myself ready for work tonight.. I've only ever worked one night shift so far, so I am pretty excited to close the store tonight! And I ended up picking up a 7 hour shift tomorrow morning, so yay more money! $$$ :) Have an excellent hump day, everyone!

Well look what the cat dragged in..

So after a 3 week hiatus, I went missing for another 2 weeks. Oy, I am very sorry about that, by the way, but I am back, and I am going to be updating regularly again, promise. I have been unable to take outfit photos because as mentioned below, Ben's away for two months, and the batteries in my wireless remote have been dead for well over a year now. No matter how many sticky notes I left for myself, I always managed to forget to pick up a new battery. I'm pretty scatter brained in case you people hadn't already noticed..
Anyways, I am madly in love with my new denim jacket from H&M, it fits like a dream and has put my denim jacket from Forever 21 to shame, definitely expect to see this jacket more, lots more too. And please ignore my ever so serious bitch face.. I had only slept two hours, and what felt like a straight, emotionless look, I was actually looking quite unapproachable and mean. My bad.

but with eyes shut, its you I'm thinking of

I've been contemplating selling these shoes for a long time now. I purchased them well over a year ago from asos because I thought they were so gorgeous and different and I knew I wouldn't see another girl wearing the same exact shoe as me. But because they are european sized and half sizes weren't available, I decided slightly bigger would be better then cramming myself into a slightly smaller fitting shoe. Boy was I wrong..

Since buying them they've been sitting looking pretty on a bookshelf, but thats about it. I only slip them on every so often to admire them, but walking in them is an absolute  impossible task for me which really bums me out.. I had hoped that because of the design of these shoes, the strap would hold me in place considering they were a half size to big, but that isn't the issue at all, because they're quite high, I stand on my tippy toes and the slope crams me into the front so the heel of my foot isn't on the heel of the shoe, thus making walking in these babies completely impossible.

I am going to sleep on it though, to think more of whether or not I should part ways with them or not. Give me a few days to decide and I'll let you know where to buy them if I decide to sell. Until then, hype my latest look on Lookbook please!

Don't let the sunshine and forced smiles confuse you, it was cold out today. I should have just waited and shared this new shirt with you guys another day, but I was just to damn excited about it and couldn't wait. I apologize for the crap photos, I hate how they're so blown out and quickly, but sloppily, edited. I was not expecting it to be as windy as it was or as cold, so Ben and I sat out there for 15 minutes while I battled my hair and tried to keep my shirt down, pretty unsuccessful photo shoot if you ask me. This shirt is so flowy and boxy that it's hard to photograph without it making me look fat, and with the high winds we were having these were the few photos where I didn't look morbidly obese.. Boo, maybe next time..

Something New

I've been pretty terrible about keeping up with showing you guys my new purchases. I know I haven't been posting on this blog for very long now so you haven't quite caught on to whats old and whats new yet, but many of my new items that I say "I am going to share with you what I got tomorrow! Stay tuned!" end up sneaking into many of the looks I have shared so I don't really see the point in photographing that individual item when it's already been 'revealed', ya know?

So I decided since I have certain articles of clothing already photographed and edited, to maybe start sharing with you each 'new' thing one by one on it's own. I hope you don't mind? I know haul entries are much more fun and visually appealing, but you gotta bare with me here people! I am so scatter brained I end up putting these things off forever and making myself seem like a liar..

So here is one of my most recent buys, I have been searching for something like this for months now and I am thrilled I was able to come across this top at Forever 21 which almost always beats the price of anyone around. It is most certainly going to become a staple piece in my wardrobe, I can tell you that much..

Wishing It Were Warmer.

So I would be a complete lier if I told you I wore this look recently. One being the obvious reason that it is winter (although it hardly looks like it is outside..) and two, as most of you know I'm currently unemployed and job hunting like a mad women, so I don't think I could get by you guys with telling you I wore this to the grocery store.. Not very appropriate grocery shopping attire. I mean, I see nothing wrong with this, but c'mon, I live in New Hampshire people.. of course this would fly in a Cali supermarket, but people just don't dress like this to run their errands around these parts..

No, I was simply piecing together looks the other day with a few of my new purchases and one of my favorites is this velvet bustier I purchased from Forever 21 a few days ago. I am suddenly loving velvet at the moment, which is weird because the last time I wore velour was probably when my mom was still dressing me and she'd put my sister and I in matching velour dresses and leggings. So yeah, it's been a while..

But I did wear this around the house for a few hours because we had very warm weather recently. And when I say very, I'm talking high forty's/fifties. For New Hampshire, who at this time of year is typically being hammered with snow and sleet and freezing rain creating feet upon feet of snow that won't melt until the month of May even, thats very abnormally warm for us.
But there's still no snow, and after a day like that I don't foresee snow coming for much much longer.. Bummer..


ps: what do you guys think about the way I posted my photos this time around? I edited them two, side by side in photoshop rather than just posting them one at a time. Do you think it looks better/more neat? Or should I go back to the old way? I'm just not sure, so give me your thoughts! :)
