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

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

OOTD VLOG// Faux Fur and Leather

Do you all remember me talking about wanting to record OOTD videos? Well I finally was able to! Yesterday my friend helped me shoot it and I stayed up last night editing all the clips and now have the final project. I'm giving myself a little a pat on the back for actually staying focused and getting it done so I hope you guys enjoy it. I definitely want to start having more video style vlogs and OOTD videos so you can see a little bit of what goes on when I'm taking pictures for the blog and get a better idea of how the clothes fit and move. Thanks to all you of beauties for keeping up with me so far and know that I love sharing my day and outfits with y'all!

It's Not that Uncommon

Two post in one week? I hope everyone is as excited and proud as I am! This is Shelby from uncommonbeing, most of you guys have already heard me talk about her and her blog. For those who don't know this is my friend/thrifting partner. I take pictures for her blog and drag her to events I'm too shy to go to by myself. These are some that I took from our latest thrifting trip, I loved this outfit(you guys know stripes + overalls are my holy grail). The one thing I love about her is that she really doesn't care about peoples opinions on how she dresses. She's gotten me out of my comfort zone maybe not to the point of wearing a cute lacey bralette as a shirt but I'm getting there! If you love the bohemian vibe she's definitely your girl, and she has the biggest jewelry collection I've ever seen. If you guys like seeing how my friends dress I'll do more posts and interview them about their style. Maybe I'll even make it a little segment with fun questions, we'll see! Also, before I get too carried away I made a bloglovin account. I got a few emails from you guys saying that you added me on it so I checked it out and now all my posts will be linked there to make it easier to stay in touch and see what I'm up to. You can even download the app(which I'm already obsessed with).
Until next time, 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

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

Pinafore Dress-ASOS/Gold chain-Chinatown/Wedges-UO

I ordered this adorable pinafore online from ASOS (here) in the sale section and on top that had an extra 20% off promo code so I couldn't wait to get it in the mail and style it. I've seen similar ones at XXI and Urban Outfitters but I wanted one with a thicker material so that I could layer it for winter. This one is perfect and a great length. I have difficulties find dresses that are long enough for me which is crazy because I'm only 5'7 but I swear every time I order a dress online it ends up looking like a tunic on me and I have to throw tights on just to feel comfortable wearing it out. I love that this one has a real pocket in the front and that the straps are adjustable so it fits like a glove. Btw, it's been raining for the past two days and I decided to wear my favorite suede wedges to walk around downtown and got them soaked. A lesson to everyone spray protector on your suede shoes so you don't ruin them like I did mine! 
Thanks for reading, bye deerlings <3 

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

All Tied Together.

For my first post I wanted to show what I would usually wear to work or just to hang out in. I consider my everyday style to be pretty basic and laid back. I've also started to incorporate a lot of flannels into my outfits just to give it that relaxed look and it definitely works great with adding a little tom boyish feel. I'm excited to transition into fall since this Texas heat is killing my layering game. 
Until my next post, byeeeee! <3
