{Fashion Friday} Military Wife

Last summery type outfit I promise. I know everyone is in full fall/winter mode. So I'm on it! I'm getting all my favorite cold weather outfits to share with all of you. I've been accumulating a lot of scarves lately too! It's already soo cold now and I know it's just going to get worse. I wasn't prepared very much last winter so I am making sure I am this time around!

I've also started selling some of my closet and I'm really excited about that!!! If you like a few of the items that I've posted feel free to shop my closet at poshmark.com

Have an awesome weekend!

Halloween {recap} DIY Circus Costume

It was a cold and dreary day quite fitting and normal for a New England Halloween. I'm just glad we didn't 'have another hurricane! {A.K.A. Hurricane Sandy}. Also making for some flat hair after I worked so hard on it :( BOO!

I had been working on this costume idea for a few years and it finally happened! I really wanted to do a Vintage Circus Lion Tamer and Lion with Riley. Whether I was the lion or she was either way it was cute! She wanted to be a ballerina though. Soooo I searched and searched for one that a costume that would make her happy and maybe resembled a tight rope walker and we had it all planned out. Then one day we randomly went into a store and found a cute lion costume, she tried it on and loved it! Score! My vision was now coming to a reality! I didn't want to spend too much so I just used clothes I already had for my costume. She loved it! It really is way more fun dressing up with kids, they make it more exciting!

I used a similar method. Just a ponytail and not braids

It's been awhile since we did one these! I did this before it got cold. I'm sure you can tell. Oh well just add some tights and you are ready for the cold weather. Gotta love versatile outfits!

I'm a Model?..... {High Fashion Photo Shoot}

If you follow me on instagram {@meadowsandreeds} you may remember a month or so ago I was asked to do a high fashion photo shoot with a fellow photographer {Kathleen Clipper Photography. I jumped at the chance. High fashion is such a passion of mine! We went to Sticks and Stones farm

in Newtown, CT. That was the literally only the second time I've had my makeup done for me. Definitely the first time I had both hair and makeup done at the same time. It was a fun experience. Everyone was just so awesome to work with. The location was so gorgeous, straight out of a movie! Here are some behind the scenes and some of my favorite shots from the shoot!
