life ~ a photostory

  ~ a life update in the form of a photostory ~ this is truly Julia's aesthetic, entirely by accident, most of her closet is blue and white stripes. she's always either wearing her airplane propeller necklace or her dream necklace, wearing double dutch braids.  Once upon a time, there was a girl named Julia. She was a dreamer, one with a good imagination and wide horizons. Some of her happiest days as a teenager were spent taking photos of dolls, lying in the street to get the perfect angle. Her dolls were like built in friends, companions wherever she went, on trips and vacations and outings.  As she grew up, Julia grew busier and busier, and high school was a lot of work. But she had goals and she did everything she could to reach them. One of them was graduating two years early, which took up a lot of time and energy. After hours upon hours of studying, she finally graduated.  Taking a gap year beginning in 2020, the weirdest year of the century, she had no lack of other thi

The Gorgeous Grace and the Generous Giveaway

Remember how I posted about how my friend Samantha was having an absolutely awesome giveaway from AGDA? Well, guess what?
I won! I was so excited!
We were driving home from Spanish lessons *gags* and piano lessons *cheers* when my mom stopped to get the mail from the mailbox. As soon as she opened it and I saw pink flowers on a package, I squealed, "That's mine!" Yes, I was excited. :D When I opened it, I found a ton of fun stuff!
{disclaimer: background is an unmade bed. whoops. I was too excited to make my bed!}
A mini Meet Rebecca book, nail polish stickers, an AG School Stuff journal, ADORABLE GOLD GLITTERY HEART STICKERS *dies*, super cute hairthings (not shown) and just WOW!
 
And then.. this! :) I LOVE the color (and the gold hearts, and the doodle design)!!

Inside was a super sweet note written in a cat card. :)
And then, the long awaited beautiful dress..
DON'T YOU JUST LOVE THIS TISSUE PAPER?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
See that pretty pink poking out?
AHHHHH!! It's gorgeous! It's beautiful! It's pink! It's super-duper soft! It's from AGDA!
 
Can you tell that I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
it?
 
Now, also in my possession at the time of receiving this package was a gorgeous doll named... Grace! If you've already read the first part of Julie's birthday party, then you know who I am speaking of.
Anyways, if you haven't, go read it. And then come back (so pretty much, just open it in another tab).
But one problem before I could launch into a fullblown photoshoot....
It was raining.
Sigh.
What was I to do?
Well, the only logical thing. Go out in the 50 degree weather (yes, Fahrenheit - WOW! I actually spelled that right on the first try!) onto the front porch barefooted, with a camera dangling around your neck (avoiding getting it wet or banging against the banister, of course) and carrying a doll, trying to keep her dry.
I must say I succeeded. ☺
 
But of course, you wouldn't want to see the pictures, would you?
IF YOU...
 
1. Don't want to see the pictures
2. Do want to see the pictures
 
then....
 
1. Close browser
2. Keep scrolling
 
 


So beautiful! It falls gracefully above the knee and the material is so incredibly SOFT! I want a dress like this! I'd wear it all the time!!! :D


Grace. is. beautiful.
And it is only fitting for the beautiful doll to wear the beautiful dress, do you not agree?


Yes, pose, Grace! And twirl!

Why do I like this picture sideways?

Augh! Photos don't do this dress justice!


I ♥ AGDA!

  3. The dress is simply adorable on Grace! You are such a great doll photographer, and I love Grace's hair in pigtails! Ahh, I know all about risking stuff for doll pictures, I took pictures in the middle of a road. the DOTM post with Bowie and Paisley was in the mud and Paisley was in a white dress, I've dropped Emily in a river, and I almost got slime in Amelia's hair yesterday! Eek! I'm also a fairly clumsy person, so I look way worse than my dolls ever do when I'm taking pictures...Just imagine me in pajama's barefoot, a spray bottle and brush in one hand, a camera in the other. XD
    I'm so glad you loved the stuff I sent, and I hope you get a lot of use out of all of it!
