Lauren the Graceful- My Best Side.

Photo Diary: it's not everyday your best friend is a Fashion Photographer, lucky me. <3

Thank the Lord for Lauren Alysse Larsen &

her smiles ability to cure my soul. 

 These were taken when I went to Denver to visit her this summer. 

My week with her changed my life.

 Least to say, it was a blessing.

Even more amazing,she just graduated two weeks ago from the Art Institute of Colorado! 

Woo! That's my girl!!

Wanna know a secret...? My bandeau is merely a Vintage Vera scarf tie!

Give her portfolio a gander, her creatively will amaze you.
Take my word for it.

 I love classic style, obvious through my obsession with vintage styles and shapes. I pay very close attention to lines, they have never been as flattering as they were when a woman's waist was accentuated. 

Needless to say, I am thrilled to see women wearing high waisted anything or a dress with a cinched waist! In fact, just today in Manwell Antonio, I am currently in Costa Rica, I saw a young beauty wearing vintage high rise cutoff shorts. 

Perfect for the beach!

Thanks for reading dear, I really do appreciate it! 

Talk to you soon, go check out my best side- Lauren!

As always, Stay inspired <3

She came to the airport during my layover in Denver on my way to Costa Rica!!
I love you Lauren!! <3 Your are ever inspiring!

It's Hap, Happiest Season of All..! \\\

 Happy Holidays!! Welcome to MaudeLady Blog. I'm very excited to be doing this as a fun way to share what I'm up to. 

My lovely photographer Brian Johnson used film and we improvised for the light, we always have a ball doing MaudeLady shoots. I'm loving the grainy effect of the film!

Baby, it's cold outside. Inspired by the crisp winter air and the potential romance the holidays bring forth, I staged a marvelous evening picnic for two.

  Mmm, mmm, mmm I just the Holiday Season! It's as if it possesses a warmth that preserves even the coldest of nights. I simply had to bring a candle to demonstrate.

My wish is the most wonderful Christmas to everyone. A beautiful time to reflect on the glorious blessings we have been given along with sharing our gratuity and love with our loved ones.

I'm on Holiday in Costa Rica visiting my father and family who live here, it is quite a diversion from spending the past two Christmas's in snowy Salt Lake City. Of course, I am enjoying it the beach and sunshine!

My family was sick when I fist arrived so naturally, I became sick as well and felt lousy until just yesterday began feeling better. In my down time I began watching Audrey Hepburn movies. I am embarrassed and ashamed to say, for the firth time! I recommend them all: Funny Face, Roman Holiday and Charade. They surely don't make movies like they used to. Audrey's wardrobe, in all of them, is Givenchy, it is exquisite. 

I have a surplus of material to post so I will be posting frequently for at least while I'm on break from University, check often &

Stay inspired <3
