Lets Talk About Hair

You all don't know how hard it was for me to keep this a secret but, I finally made a hair routine video! After saving up enough money I was able to buy a new slr camera that happens to record in HD so now I can make ootd videos and whatever my little heart desires. Of course I knew what my first video topic was going to be, I've been getting questions about my hair since I went natural three years ago. Whether it be in person or on my blog/Instagram. I try to explain and answer all the questions I get but I knew it'd be a lot easier to just show everyone how I get my hair the way it is. I'm hoping this answers all those questions and I can't wait to make more videos! Until next time, byeee <3 

You Said I Was The Most Exotic Flower

I'm starting off August with a fresh post and good vibes all around. I only had one day off this week from work which means only one day to dress the way I want so I may have gotten a little excited when I was getting dressed to go eat Thai with my friend. I've been dying to wear this playsuit I got from Missguided but was saving it for a more dressy occasion. I'm starting to realize how much I do that and end up never wearing most of my clothes so starting now I'm going to dress according to how I feel regardless if it's a fancier occasion or not.
The sizing for Missguided is a little tricky(it took me two orders to get it right) the playsuit I'm wearing is a UK 10 and if fits perfectly. I'm in love with the thick lace trim and the fact that it actually covers my butt. I did up wearing a light sweater just because I knew I'd be going in stores and a restaurant but it didn't cover up the beautiful details. Hope you guys are enjoying the rest of summer and until next time, byeee <333

Come On Eileen

Hello beautiful people! I've been MIA for sometime now and for good reasons. I recently got offered a new job and started the day after so I'm still trying to balance my life + working two jobs. This is actually my last week at my other job so I'm breathing a little easier now and am finding time to get back into my routine of actually putting looks together. As you can tell this outfit is super comfy and I went for a no make up/I'm too tired to try vibe. My best friend Shelby(uncommonbeing as you guys know) is moving to another city so this was the last day I got to see her/take pictures of her for her blog. Major crying eyes emoji inserted here. It's been an overwhelming couple of weeks so I'm glad to finally get back into my routine and start pushing myself to do more with my blog. Can't wait to show you some pretty things next week! Bye <3333

Last week Cary relaunched his photography website so to celebrate I decided to share some of my favorite pictures he took awhile back at his meet up. You may remember him from one of my earlier posts where I shadowed him and got to see how he works. He also gets the best candids and I love looking back at these and seeing how much fun I had and how he captures everyone just being in the moment. Since then he's worked with Asia Dee (my favorite American Apparel model) and was featured on their Instagram and Tumblr. This guy is going places and I feel honored to have been part of his work. So if you want to see more of him and what he does check out his work below! instagram// @crashnebula website// cary-fagan.com tumblr// carylonewolf

You Deserve Rounds

Happy Saturday y'all! I am officially 21 and it feels so good, I had such a fun time last night. I went to a wine bar with a few friends and some family then to the club for my very first time. Crazy right? I'm not a big club or party kinda girl but I mean you only turn 21 once right? So I let loose and I don't think I've ever had so much fun just dancing and going with the flow. This was my first time really drinking too(so many new experiences!) but I had a little wine and sampled margaritas, I just don't like the taste of alcohol but I guess no one really does. What I'm really looking forward to is going to shows for free now and getting to go to cute bars.
I wore the prettiest black dress from Free People but the only pictures that were taken were from my proud mama who was snapping pictures at the dinner so if I get my hands on one I'll show you guys! This outfit on the other hand was an idea of what I wanted to wear. I feel really classy wearing blazers and I love these lounge shorts I got from XXI so I've been wearing them like crazy. The two paired together has a business chic look, maybe not office appropriate but definitely a fun take on a business look. Until next time, byeeee <333

Summertime In My Eyes

 
Today is the first day of June and I'm already excited for what this month/summer will bring. Next week I'll be turning 21(YAY!) so I can't wait to share my birthday outfit with you guys. Besides that I'm looking forward to making more time for me and not working myself so hard. Working in retail means long hours and spending my weekends at the store, so I've decided to make it a point to get a day off so that I can blog and just hang out with friends. I think its important to give yourself a break and take a breather so that you can do the things you enjoy. 

Now that we've talked a little bit about life lets get on to this outfit which not surprisingly is all from Urban Outfitters. You guys know I love stripes and being comfy so I wore this almost body con t-shirt dress and my new Birkenstock's(yes I'm all about these bad boys). And whats a complete outfit without some layering, I threw on the denim shirt so I wouldn't have to worry about the dress being to short or rising up. I do wear spandex shorts underneath all my dresses/skirts since I'm always on the move and don't always have time for being a lady. If you ever fill like a dress is too short or tight just tie something around your waist to take away from it! Until next time, byeee <3

Bring It On

This beauty right here is my friend Laura, she was sweet enough to let me take some pictures of her and I wanted to show you guys how cute she is! We used to work together and I instantly fell in love with her style, which is how she got the nickname "tumblr girl". We constantly find ourselves switching styles and unintentionally dressing like each other. She's one of my favorite people to shop with(for obvious reasons) and I can always count on her for a little inspiration. Hope you guys enjoy the little features and i'm sure you guys will see Laura again soon! Lets see if we can get her to talk about her style and share some of her favorite trends for the summer.
