The New York Gazelle: Grounded

Happy Summer! I have been feeling rather beachy lately--and to clarify when I say beachy, I do mean beachy. Not bitchy--I am so completely over that pun. Now on to the point. I've been loving the weather and have a new fondness for french pop music. It feels so summery--or maybe it is the fact that I watched the Dior Addict short film again and can not get the song I Love You, ono by Stereo Total out of my head. The video, filmed in Saint Tropez, has melded my state of mind into thinking about throwing on my sunnies and sitting under a striped beach umbrella... except... in my backyard. Damn you Kansas and your LAND.

SO MUCH LAND.

I have seen this video multiple times and the GIFs have been over all the fashion related tumblrs that I love. I rewatched the short after having been engulfed for 5 hours by my recent evil purchase of The Sims. I swear that game tears the life out of your soul and puts it into the virtual body you have just created. It is fun.. almost too fun. I am pretty happy I jumped off that train that was taking me to won't-shower-for-days land.

Thus this has been my summer life. I sit in my living room, occasionally taking a short walk to my library where I can stare at my forever murky green pool and frown (My pool filter broke and it is not worth it to fix for this summer) (OUCH MY HEART). Google, tumblr, The Sims, and online shopping; that is all there has been to me. It was only after I received my order of new clothes from ASOS.com that I thought: Hey, get off your butt and go take pictures or something.

Moral of the story is I will be posting new shoots more often. My friend Emily and I had a blast driving out to a random field and snapping pictures. We have decided to try to make this an every-weekend-thing... let's hope for the best because everyone knows I am the most lazy person ever to exist.
