halloween! (and celebration of a working camera)

hooray! my camera made it back safe and sound and functional... and just in time for halloween festivities!
i didn't want to cart it around though, especially after having waited so long, so we just took some quick snaps before we left:

 we were mod-stronauts! as in, people from the 60s dressed in astronaut helmets..(which i made myself)
i also made my dress and the collar that you can't see (but will be in a post soon because i have made a whole load of them)

and i forgot to take a photo of the back last night, so here's a quick shot of our mod target to finish the look!

 we had a blast, there were so many people out, and most of them had actually made an effort with their costumes, which i guess is what you get for going out in a city rather than a tiny little town/ my own house haha

2. my camera is broken and i am in mourning

my 1st 4th of july

ever since the 4th of july weekend (my first ever in the states!) i've been superly busy (and yes, ok, my photoshop trial ran out... aaaand i got lazyy but that's not my fault because it's HOT in florider [sic]...)
but here's a catch up! aka, a giant post of photos from the weekend =)

started the weekend out at the bar to celebrate seeing my boyfriend again after....2 months? something unnecessary.

not all my friends are guys... these are just the best photos...

pretty sunset:

and then came the traditional celebrations:

(accidental sparkler dropping = awesome photo)
















and finally some pool time:

this is the only glimpse of an outfit photo i took the whole time... even though i had two (maybe even three?) fantastically appropriately american looking ensembles


i may or may not have made special 4th of july watermarks.....;)
