Getting Ready to Brave the Hurricane


Yesterday morning I ventured out bright and early to take self-portraits on Ward's Island once again. I looked to my normal spot right by the edge of the water and it had disappeared. The water level had risen and completely engulfed the rocks. Looks like the risk of flooding this week really might be serious business. I decided to make my temporary home underneath the Ward's Island bridge itself which led to a few awkward encounters with people giving me weird looks. There was one man who walked underneath the bridge, stood facing the wall for a good five minutes (as if waiting for me to leave), and then left. Then again, I'm sure I look just as strange as him prancing around in front of my tripod. Alone.

I'm loving my new boots courtesy of Jellypop. They're perfect for those autumn days where it's beautiful enough to leave my tights at home, but not warm enough to wear sandals. I also remember seeing one of my classmates wear similar boots a year ago (with the brown at the top) and I craved them. Check out Jellypop's adorable video look book - I wish I had that girl's entire closet!

I'm not sure what to expect with Hurricane Sandy over the next two days. The neighborhood right below mine got evacuated and all the subways and buses in New York City shut down just a few hours ago. Since my one roommate was trapped in Washington D.C. and my other roommate escaped to her friend's house in upstate New York, I decided to take the train back down to New Jersey to be with my family. I didn't feel like being alone in my apartment during the hurricane. Plus, I was definitely getting a bit homesick to be honest.

To all my east coast readers, stay safe and be smart! Don't get in the way of danger. :)

  16. This red dress is so pretty, and I love the pairing of long socks with boots!

    As I'm in California, I can't even imagine the magnitude of this hurricane (the photos I've seen so far are frightening, poor New Jersey!), so I really hope you, your friends, and family stay safe!

  21. Ah, my sweet Jen Jen! I was thinking about you (and many other bloggers in that area) and wishing that you stay safe through the hurricane! I'm so super glad that you're going home during all this--storms are definitely not a good time to be alone. Phew! Enjoy your stay with your family. :) <3

    That dress is WOW. Seriously stunning, Jen. It's perfect for you! The little button detail on the side is lovely and the pleats are gorgeous. This is just a perfect photo set.
