Jane Austen









I wanted to pay tribute to one of my favorite authors, Jane Austen. I am currently reading Pride and Prejudice and I am almost finished....The other day I watched a new BBC version of "Persuasion", which is absolutely bittersweet and insanely intense to watch (as far as J.A. movies go). I am determined to one day go and tour through all of these places that these characters would have lived. Yeah I know the time difference is an issue, but I would still be able to get the essence of it all.

A friend of mine has always expressed interest in doing a 'Jane Austen' photo shoot because she had a killer dress that screamed to get out of her closet more often. So because I am on a J.A. high this week you get to see some photos. The greenish dress belongs to Anne and the cream one belongs to my mother. Sadly I have not dibbsed the girls to posing as any particular characters...other than themselves.

Surprizingly enough my fav photo of the cream dress is the B/W at top. I love how my friend manages to put on this completely different look on her face. If you compare the full front face shots to that B/W one you'll see a big difference. I thought it turned out pretty cool:D Thanks ladies!
