Into the Wild

Greetings! It's the same old Samantha here, just a whole new face to this

blog. I've been wanting a cleaner, more minimalist look for a while now.

That and maybe something without the whole sexual innuendo aspect. So

finally, between the busy madness of summer, I plopped myself down in

front of my computer screen and got to it. I'm quite happy with the result,

especially taking into consideration my complete lack of any computer

skills. Goodbye, the Banged Blonde; hello, by Woods and Water. 

When I thought of my new blog name I couldn't help but think how fitting

it was. In a geographical sense: I have the Atlantic ocean to the left of

me and then all else is forests. But fashion reflects a type of living, where

you live. My style lately largely reflects my surroundings; if I am to spend

the day by the water I am drawn towards ensembles of white, blue, red

and all things nautical-esque, but when I'm near the countryside or forests

I go for neutral solids or floral prints. That being said, I'm wearing a dress

with flowers all over it so I must have been away from the water this day.

These pictures are from when Paul and I went to the wildlife park with my

brother and cousins several days ago.  All the animals were pretty cool,

but nothing beat my little duck friend - definitely wasn't camera shy!
