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

Creative Folk

I had the pleasure of attending yet another meet up, it seems like these events are really starting to become a part of my routine. This one was held by Kendall Hanna of Kensfolk, this lady is such an inspiration. You guys can check out some of her photography and her blog (here). I can't believe I had never met her even though we literally worked right across from each other! She is fairly new to Houston so she held the event so that she could meet more "creatives" in the area. I'm also kind of growing on the term creatives, I never imaged someone let alone a group of people considering me somewhat of an artist. The group had people I would really consider artists like architects and photographers. I like the idea of getting groups of people together whom may never talk to each other in their everyday life's and putting them together and seeing them bond over similar interest. I've met so many sweet people and have found a sense of belonging. Living in Houston has its perks but it's definitely not New York or Los Angeles, the fashion and art community aren't as big. So when there's an opportunity to be part of the small creative community I make sure to be there. I look forward to more meet ups and making new friends. Before I go lets talk about how much I wear this blazer, if you read my post about going to Austin you'll remember seeing this thrifted beauty. I've seen so many casual looks including blazers so I kept it really simple and tied up my shirt underneath for a little midrift action. I'm a fan of showing a little stomach when I'm all covered up, it just adds a little sass. Since the weather is starting to warm up I'm finally going to be able to wear crop tops and dresses again so I can't wait to show y'all what I come up with! Until next time, byeee <3

Take It Breezy

There's something about wearing white and denim together that reminds me of summer. It's such a clean and simple look which is probably why I like it so much. I got this shirt dress from Urban Outfitters for $10 awhile back and was waiting for it to be warm enough to wear it out. It's a midi dress so it goes past my knees but this one is cut at an angle so that the left side is higher. I decided to just knot it up and layer a denim shirt over it for a laid back look. You guys know how much I love tying flannels around my waist so it's sort of second nature at this point. It was also my first time wearing my Chelsea wedge boots. I had the brilliant idea of wearing these bad boys to work so I could break them in, I'm paying for that today! I'm not the only one with logic like that right? Talk to you beauties real soon, byee <33
