Evanston Days

Capture The Moment - Evanston Days

6/10/10

So me and one of my friends, Emma, decided to go to a near by town, Evanston and check out the stores, restaurant and everything else. I've been to Evanston plenty of times but I decided to take photos.

 
We ate at this AMAZING place named Red Mango, this flavor is Tangomonium topped with strawberry and chocolate- yummy !

 










I love this tutu... American Apparel is the funnest place in the world clothing wise ! You can go crazy ! This is a black belly shirt paired with a silk white tutu.

Back to my shoe obsession !! All the shoe, all the other photos are also from urban outfitters ! Love this store !

 
We were searching for some kind of thrift store in which we could find cute clothes for a bargain, well we found this great place in which you can sell your clothes and then buy new ones !! We found coach purses for $20! And free people jeans for $16 !! It was brilliant !! The name of the place was Crossroads Trading Co. Be sure to check it out ! Here are some of our finds:

There is an adorable quaint alley names Bookman's Alley, down this alley is an old bookstore and paint store. Its very cute ! We also found a tarot reader ! My friend brought a great hat (unfortunately we found the same hat for half the price later!) And a store that sold really nice scarf's from India ! All these are photographed below:

Hope you enjoyed the post ! I'm going to do another India one next... I've been a bit lazy and not blogging as much but I do check comments and followers everyday ! So be sure to leave comments and follow ! I love reading them and getting new followers !

First Week Of Summer Photos && Winner of the Give Away !

First Week Of Summer

All Photos Taken by Alice H (Me!)

6/5/10

Going for a spy theme here: (Sorry for the bad quality - my camera broke and I had to use photobooth !)

The other day I did a mini photoshoot with my friend Charlotte; here are some of the results. (Photo credit goes to my friend charlotte; her blog: dontacceptlimits.blogspot.com)

Weirdly a lot of the theme in this is Alice in Wonderland type photos. Also my obsession with shoes are also covered in this post. My friend found these shoes in a garage sale, originally from Germany !

Love them. The spy photos from the top are kind of a slick spy operation feel... mostly because of the black leather gloves. Talking about boots I found this great pair at lavintage.com ,  from the '80's and I am slightly in love with them.

Right now I am watching (500) Days of Summer. Its such a cute adorable movie, the main character (Summer), is played by Zooey Deschanel. She is a brilliant actress and the way she plays Summer is brilliant. The band, The Smiths is also featured. I looove this band !! My favorite song by them is definitely unloveable. I also love Vampire Weekend, Pheonix, all those Indie type bands.

Well I got to be going, my favorite part of the movie is noww !
