Girl Crush Project

Today's post is just a little update, it's been a few months and I have missed shooting and sharing some of my current faves. I was determined to get some new material up and decided to take my camera with me to this Girl Crush Holiday Market. Guys, I cannot tell you how much I had to contain my excitement. The market was held at Tout Suite on their second floor and as soon as I walked in I fell in love. The pictures I took don't do it justice, it was very Instagram worthy. There were local makers(all girls, yay!) with all their handmade items. I wanted something from every booth I visited, seriously. I hope there are more events like this soon because it was a dream.

Be back soon, I promise x

They See Me Rollin'

Hello guys! It's practically been half a year since I've posted, crazy right? I hope all of you are having a great year so far and are sticking to your new resolutions/goals if you made any.  This year I didn't make any new ones but I'm constantly trying to improve(in small ways) and try new things.

Speaking of, I have gotten into some really cool hobbies like rock climbing, acro yoga, and hot yoga. Which all might sound a little intense but with a little determination and practice I've been able to stick with it . I never really knew how physically strong I was and that I could push myself as much as I have in order to do these activities. It's amazing to see my progress both physically and mentally.

I've also been going out more( Drake would be so proud) and by that I mean going to art shows, museums, markets, and even Facebook events. 

I hadn't been to a roller rink since I was about 16/17 years old and when I got an invite from a friend on Facebook for this roller rink meet up  I obviously had to attend. My friends and I were so excited to get dressed up and go skate, it was definitely a little harder than I remember it being but a great time nonetheless. I loved seeing all the funky outfits and dance moves on the floor. Imagine Beyonce's "Blow" video but with a lot less coordinated group ha! The event even made it into C-Heads Magazine, so cool right!? You guys can check out the full article/pictures here.

Summer Uniform

 
As you all can probably tell by now, I may have a bit of a cheer aesthetic going on. I've been obsessed with cheer skirts forever and I'm finding ways to incorporate the private school look into my wardrobe without it looking like a costume. 
I actually got this skirt from a resale shop last year, it took awhile to find one that was the perfect fit but I got lucky and found this beauty. It's been tailored which is why the back part sticks out a little more(plus I kinda have a bubble butt) so it shows that off a bit.
This look felt really put together which I liked, and my friend said it was very "Luanna-esque" and I love Luanna's style so obviously a huge compliment. The shoes definitely made this outfit more me. I got these bad boys on Depop and can't believe me its taken me so long to actually wear them but I'm in love.

I'll Be Your National Anthem

I worked on a lookbook for Top Vintage Clothing awhile back and had a blast. If you already follow my instagram you may have seen a few mobile photos I snapped during the shoot. I've already done two different projects with them but this has to be my favorite. I mean c'mon, who doesn't want to dress up like a cheerleader and twirl around!?
My friend and favorite photographer Na'Stacia Ellis shot the whole lookbook and beat my face as they say. If I had the skills this would be my everyday makeup(yes, including the glitter). Both outfits I had on are pieces from the Top Vintage warehouse, so if you're in Houston check them out! They're open to the public the last Saturday of each month, expect music, food, and a lot more when you go. 
I had the privilege of rummaging through all the merch and found some gems. I'd also like to give a massive thank you to Liz for having me and for all the cute stuff I got!

Summer Breeze

 

Good morning beautiful people! I'm starting off today on a productive note, after almost an hour of editing pictures I decided that this was the best one(I'm super picky). I started playing around in photoshop and although very confusing I think I got the hang of basic editing. I'm still in the process of editing the ones of my friend, which you guys will see pretty soon!

Last weekend I got a few new things that I've been needing so I can't wait to style them, I've been pretty good about not going overboard on clothes shopping. Most are basics but I also got some printed dresses and summer pieces like this kimono. Which I got at Pacsun, I hadn't purchased anything from there since high school! I happened to be at the outlet mall and saw they were having a sale so I was like why not. To my surprise the whole store is completely different, it has a boho almost Free People feel now. I found some really cute pieces in clearance and will definitely be going back. Has anyone else been there recently? If not, now you know! 

I'll talk to you babes real soon, byeee <3

New Year, Same Girl

Happy New Year everyone! This year has definitely been filled a lot of excitement, stress, and every other emotion one can experience. The beginning of a year brings in new opportunities and everyone seems to jump to wanting to change themselves. I'm all for self improvement so I think it's wonderful to set goals that will positively affect your life no matter when you decide to take the initiative. I don't really set any resolutions or goals just for the New Year, I'm constantly trying to better myself whether that be with my health or career so those kinda just roll with me through out the years.
One main thing I've been trying to improve on is being consistent with my blogging and making what I love to do(style and shoot) as important as work and the other things that seem to take over my life. There's so many different projects that I wan't to finish and start on but finding the time to do it all seems impossible(and I know that's not a good excuse really) but I know you guys feel me!
This week feels like a great start to the New Year, I've been productive on my days off and was even able to shoot a little look for you guys! It's a clean basic look that I wore to go shopping at Ikea with my friend. I've decided to put effort into my looks on my days off even if its just to run errands, and let me tell you its made a difference. Especially if you're like me and don't wear makeup on a daily base or have a dress code at work where you pretty much can only wear jeans and a t shirt.
Sending good vibes and cheers to another year I get to share a little piece of my life with y'all! Bye <3

Mini Haul

Hey guys! It's been a little over a month since I last posted(crazy right!?). I know it's been awhile, but man time flew. I've been swamped with finishing up the semester at school and of course it's been out of control at work. I was lucky enough to have the past two days off, but in my defense I did work the day before Thanksgiving and on the actual day so I'd like to think I've earned it.

With all that going on I was still able to film a little mini haul video with clothes that I got from my LA trip, and now I have some fun stuff I got this weekend from the black friday sales. So I may be filming another video soon, and I'm definitely going to get a outfit post up here next week. 

I also just wanted to thank you all for reading(even if I'm not a consistent blogger) and still supporting me. I have so many new projects that I want to start and finding time to do it all has proven to be hard, but I'm determined to get some stuff done over Christmas break so stay tuned! Hope you guys had a great holiday and ate lots of yummy food! Byeeee <3
