coming to you from yet another creepy alleyway

Alleyways really always have the best backdrops don't you think? I spotted this wall while D and I were exploring Glenwood Springs this past weekend and we took a few snap shots. Over all we weren't overly impressed with the town of Glenwood Springs. I was sort of expecting this very quaint little town, but I wouldn't call it quaint at all. We had fun doing the activities around the area but the town it self definitely left us wanting more.

One thing I can say is that the people there are SO NICE! If you are a fashion blogger you are probably familiar with the awkward moments when you are posing for your husband//boyfriend/friend/sister/tripod and people walking by are all looking at you like what the hell is she doing? Not in Glenwood Springs, everyone who walked by was super nice and interested. A kid that looked like he couldn't have been more than 16 years old even walked by and said "You look beautiful!" After that a group of women walked by and one of them offered to take a photo of D and I, so sweet!

What are your photography experiences like? Any funny stories?

Oh and p.s.  my dear friend Inge is closing up her lovely jewelery shop with a bang! Today is the last day to get half off all her prices. My Damsel of Dainty collection is quite big now and I am in love with every piece! You can see me sporting the Blessed Brambles necklace here.

Yay for a long weekend!!

I'm a new reader of yours, and let me say, I adore your style and your blog. WHERE is the top in these photos from!?

I love the alleyway! The bright colors make a great backdrop for this outfit. I drove through Glenwood Springs on a cross-country trip but didn't get much time to explore. It's always fun to be surprised by the niceness of a community :) And you do look beautiful!

haha, gotta love the creepy alleyways ;) i know exactly what you mean. it's usually me, pulling in my car, setting up my tripod at the speed of light, unloading the kids and hoping for some good/decent photos.

the things we bloggers do ;) you look beautiful...as always!

ps, i saw your friend is closing her shop. looking forward to her new adventure and seeing what it will be. i will finally be reopening my shop this week, after being on break for months. i guess it happens.

Adorable. I am hoping to start a blog soon and hopefully the embaressment of all the staring won't hold me back!
P.s. where did you get those jeans? I love how they fit!

Thanks for the shout out, love! You look beautiful! I love that shirt, definitely something I would wear.
Encountering nice people is the best, such a shame that it always comes as a surprise, because it means the default is that people are not nice...

You both look great! Cool wall as your backdrop! I take outfit pics on my balcony because I know people will stare at me if I take pictures outside on the street. I want to, so I'll just have to make myself get over it, haha!

I have people going up to me when I take photos, but they too compliment and are nice about it. Usually they just watch and wonder but many people have been brave enough to ask what I am doing. That's good that you have similar experiences where you live. You two are lovely!

your top is adorable! so pretty:)

I get lots of weird looks sometimes depending where I am! I don't really notice it anymore though! I'm still not brave enough like some bloggers to take a tripod out by myself (besides in my backyard). Anyways, I love alleyways! This one also you say it's creepy, looks nice! I always like brick walls that have some art or fading signs on them! :) Oh and you do look beautiful! I love the lace top!
