I'm going going back back to blogging blogging

Hello! I just wanted to write a quick post and say that I am going to be blogging again. I think oftentimes we (and I mean I) let life and "busy-ness" control what we do with our free time (basically being too tired for anything else) and inhibit us from doing things that bring us joy and happiness. For me, though it may seem strange to some, that looks like blogging among other things and I am excited to say that I am going to make time for it. I truly enjoy writing, photography, film-making, art, and the discussion of it all. I am thankful for this time in my life, the people that are in it, and the things that are in store for the future. So with all that being said- welcome back to Johanna Journeys :)

xoxo.

Oscars 2014: best dressed and more!

It's the day after my favorite night of television and I am so beyond excited for this blog post. The Oscar's are a perfect combination of two of my favorite things: fashion and film. They recognize the entire scope of filmmaking from the film's conception as an idea to its final product that we see in the theaters. So many times we don't even begin to think about all of the moving parts and aspects of making a film, and I love that the Oscar's sheds a light on each and every one of them. Maybe it's just me, but the whole concept of movies, how they are made, the work that is put into them, how they affect and reflect culture, is truly enthralling.

fall essentials

I can't believe that November is more than halfway over! Before we go into full Christmas mode (which I may or may not already have ), I wanted to do a post on fall essentials! Here are three items/trends that I am wearing the most this fall.

costume ideas (audrey hepburn video)

I've never been that into Halloween, but I've always jumped at the chance to dress up or make a costume. I think it's so much fun to come up with something a little more original, conquer a diy (do it yourself), and try to use items I already have. Granted, I went as Minnie Mouse last year which may be the most unoriginal idea ever...but if I dress up this year I promise to do better haha! However, I encourage you to be creative, have fun with your costume, and above all else...do everyone a favor and don't go as Miley Cyrus.

Sometimes, there's no time to plan an elaborate costume. Also, who wants to spend all that money? Here are some of the simplest ideas for this year's Halloween :)
