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
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
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
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.
Moving forward into Spring/Summer I've had a little craving for pastels and prints. I rarely shop at American Apparel mostly because there isn't one that close to me and because the guilt I'll feel for spending thirty dollars on a basic shirt, which I can appreciate because I'll get plenty of uses out of it but I'm a bit of a bargain shopper when it comes to clothes and well most things I have to pay for. I went last week to AA and found this pastel pink crop top and couldn't find it in my heart to put it back on the rack, I had tried on shorts hoping I'd find a good pair but the style I liked were out in my size so maybe it was a good thing for my wallet. I also have only worn these pants once which is crazy because they're so comfy and classic. I almost feel like housewife in them. The last time I wore them I wore a white shirt tucked in but todays weather was perfect for a loose crop and I decided to just go with it. I did some walking around with my friends so this outfit was perfect and although I look mad(extra love from the sun + naturally giving face all the time) in most of these pictures I was enjoying my time off from work and the time I was spending with my girlfriends. You guys are in for a treat later this week, I took pictures of my friend Laura who is basically a real life tumblr girl when it comes to style. So I thought it'd be fun to feature her and hopefully more people who inspire me. Until next time, byeee <3
I'm alive! I know its been like two or three weeks since I've checked with you all. My shifts at work picked up so I've been a little burnt out since. I have today off so I decided to take a break from watching Raising Hope(part of the reason I'm so tired because I stay up late watching it) I get sucked into shows easily. Another reason I haven't posted is because I really haven't been putting a lot of effort into what I'm wearing since I've been getting up at 6 am and not even I have time for that. So a lot of what I've been wearing is joggers and oversized shirts, which allows me to run errands and do whatever tasks I need to when I get home comfortably. I ordered some much needed bras online and wanted to show you these beauties. I've been wearing bralettes and triangle bras for about two years now and honestly I've grown to love the natural shape they give me. I wear a 34b/32c in bra's so I don't need as much support since my boobs are a little on the smaller side. Don't get me wrong, sometimes a lightly lined or padded bra can do wonders but for my everyday look these work just fine. I got all of these on sale from Urban Outfitters online, they are having a pretty good sale on intimates so I ordered a few. These are the only ones that fit, I bought all of them in a medium but the other two I bought didn't have adjustable straps so they ended up falling off a little which is lame because they were really cute sporty ones. I have my eye on the prettiest bralette from Christie Nicole but for now it'll stay on my wish list. Talk to you babes soon, bye <333
