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 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

Right On Track

 

Hello deerlings, it's been awhile since I've had an outfit post so I thought I'd go ahead and get back on track! I wen't thrifting with my friend Shelby of Uncommombeing Sunday and thought it'd be good to show everyone what I usually wear on a busy day. This is my general comfy style with addition to the New Balance's which I never wear but there's something fun about adding a little sporty touch to a casual outfit. I had worked a morning shift so I had been up since seven and right after I got out we met and tried to get a few pictures before the sun went down. I would definitely consider this an "errand" or "comfy girl" go to outfit. This was a great choice to go thrifting in, I always try to go in something simple so I can easily try on clothes and imagine how I would style it. I found the perfect trench coat to go with the shoes that I was wearing and a girly kimono type cardigan. I'm excited to start mixing in these pieces and showing you guys how I style it. I've also been wanting to go more towards classic pieces, lately I've been inspired by Audrey Hepburn and Alexa Chung. I watched Breakfast At Tiffany's recently(I had never seen the whole movie) and fell in love with Audrey's character. I love how simple her style was but it was very elegant and classy. I'm constantly changing my style and finding different fashion inspirations but that's the fun part of buying new clothes and getting dressed, you have a chance to channel different emotions and time periods. You may have also noticed my hair color, I'm a brunette again! After seeing my hair in pictures and outside I saw it was turning orange and some of you may know I don't like red-orangish color on me. So as soon as I can get together with my friend Lauren of My Damn Curls we'll record the highly requested hair care routine video and talk about my hair coloring experience! Until next time, byeeee <3

Instameet Houston

I'm so excited to share some pictures from the instameet I went to on Sunday since this was my very first one! I've heard of the event and saw there was one months ago but unfortunately after it already happened. If you aren't familiar with instameet's its pretty much what it sounds like, a group of people living in a certain area meet up(mine being Houston). The purpose is to grow the Instagram community and help you socialize with people you may never have the chance to. I met so many beautiful and sweet people and we are all following each other on Instagram to keep in touch. There's already plans for another instameet this month on the 25th. For this one we met downtown and walked around taking pictures of each other and our little adventure. It was nice being able to hang out with creative and like minded people without feeling too out of my comfort zone. Every single person I met was so welcoming and friendly. I can't wait for the next one and hopefully I wont forget the film for my Holga this time! All these pictures were taken by Cary Fagan, you can check out his work(here). He did such a great job at capturing the event and he has such a cool style I wish I would've had time to have taken some pictures of him. His new website is launching tonight at 8:30pm so I'm eager to see the film he made and more photography.

Until next time, bye <3333

Grandma Knows Best

Hello beauties! I hope everyone is having a great New Year so far, I know its only been a week but its never too early to start the year off with a better attitude or positive vibes. I've been working like crazy so I've been a little grumpy but being able to have a little time to put together another post is helping. I bought this cute dress from Forever 21 and it reminds me of the tapestry off a couch, which sounds bad but I love it! I'm into granny prints and fabrics so when I saw this gem in the sale section I grabbed it and fell in love instantly. I saw this picture on tumblr of a girl with a fro wearing something similar but hers was made of denim and she paired it with a similar fuzzy sweater and all I could think is "that's so me!" So you can image how happy I was when I saw how adorable the two looked together. In case you guys were wondering it was 30 degrees when I took these pictures and my face and legs were frozen by the time I got back in my car. It was totally worth it though, right? On another note, I just want to take the time to say how much I appreciate you guys for keeping up with me! I haven't had this blog for that long and I've already made some new friends(I do consider my readers friends) super cheesy, I know. I hope 2014 will bring me more adventures and advances for my blog. My goal is to aim high and not be scared to put myself out there and thanks to all of you I'm already at a good start.
Until my next post, bye <333 

Also thank you Lauren for taking my pictures! Check out her hair blog (here)

Walk on the Wild Side

I know I've mentioned before the weather here in Houston, but let me tell you it is no joke. Just two days ago it was in the seventies and now its in the forties. I wore this outfit to go to the mall with a friend. I'm not big on wearing jackets but I definitely was freezing through out the day, I layered what I consider is a basic outfit. I've had these tights for a year and couldn't figure how to style them without looking like I was wearing a costume. I'm starting to get more comfortable mixing prints and patterns, this look is just a quick thrown together kinda look which I love. I like when an outfit just puts itself together and somehow works. You guys know I like a chill look and this is definitely very laid back. If you noticed my hair is different, I'm a little obsessed with wearing two buns now. For this look I just blew out my hair and then made two little ponytails and turned them into messy buns. Also, if you follow me on instagram (here) you know I live in this jacket. I can't tell you how much I wear it but I mean it was only five bucks from a thrift store!
Hope you guys are having a nice weekend! Bye <33

This is my first post about jeans and these are literally the best jeans I've bought in a long time. I don't usually wear a lower fit but I was surprised on how these sit right on my waist. All the jeans that I currently have are high waisted that I bought from Urban Outfitters, don't get me wrong I love them but I find it hard to wear them with longer shirts especially when I want to tuck the front of the shirts in. I bought the one's that I'm wearing from Forever 21 last week and can I just say how their fall clothes looks exactly like American Apparels? Seriously, I bought a few pieces from there already like my circle skirt in a previous post and some other goodies I'll show you guys soon. For anyone who has a similar shape as I do I recommend trying jeans from Old Navy, Urban, and Forever 21. Bye deerlings <33

Welcome to Chinatown

I was lost but now I am found, yesterday I discovered Chinatown and the Harwin district. Living in Houston my whole life I had only heard about the magical place where one could buy extremely cheap accessories and find stores filled with Sanrio cuteness. I nearly passed out from how many cute plush animals and tiny..well everything was that I saw. I was expecting traditional building structures and bright decorations to cover the area(like I had seen in Sex and the City) but was surprised with what looked like any other part of Houston.  Each plaza had a huge selection of restaurants, clothing stores, and markets. I was able to get a taste of the Chinese culture and try new foods with friends. I cant wait to go back and explore the other plazas!
Until my next post, bye babes <3

Today I had the joy of experiencing some much needed time with my best friend who took these lovely pictures of me. I got to try strawberry Italian cream soda and ventured out around the downtown area so I'd have to say it was a good day. I decided to wear something light enough to walk around in and opted for my signature combat boots that I wear everywhere. The weather in Texas is so amazing right now I can't even explain it, after two days of rain there's this nice breeze and I can actually tolerate being outside for more than five minutes. Expect some more outfit post and even a cameo of my photographer! 

Bye deerlings <3
