InstaUpdate

Little Cat's face in this is ridiculous.

First selfie with my new iPhone 5s. lol

Hrvrd!

Little Cat sitting upright in my lap... What a weirdo.

Finally got my leopard shark leg piece colored in! Thanks to J Esparza

Finally got some rain, and then fog the next morning.

Sunset.

Megan and I!

I have so busy lately. Started a new job (which so far I am loving). It just tends to create a problem with trying to take outfit photos, especially what with daylight savings and it getting dark so early now (I've always despised this). So, I figured I'd throw together a little Instagram update with some shots from the past week.

The highlights? First, I got my leg piece finished, and I am so so happy with how it came out. It's at that terribly itchy stage in the healing process now. Pretty sure that's the worst part ever. Then on Saturday, my best friend, Megan, and I went up to Walnut Creek to see our friends in Hrvrd and Night Verses play a show. Such great bands and fun guys. I'd seriously recommend checking them out. How are all you guys doing?

Here's Hrvrd's latest music video, to make it easy on ya all.

P.S. - Karmaloop is running a contest for a chance to model for them. I would be forever grateful if you guys would vote for me HERE!

Love you all!

Untamed

ThreadSence Spring '13 Lookbook

I apologize for the photo overload, I couldn't help myself. When I laid eyes on ThreadSence's Untamed lookbook, I was captivated. Never have I more strongly felt wanderlust consume me. I literally want to live in this lookbook. The scenery of the Santa Barbara mountains, the gorgeous gypsy bohemian ensembles. I can't get enough. 

These overwhelming feelings are making me miss touring so, so much. If you guys didn't know, I used to tour with a couple different bands with the title of Merchandise Manager. The year that I spent touring was probably the best of my life. Waking up in a different city every day, getting to see all the different landscapes and people and cultures all throughout Northern America. I miss it. My inner free spirit is longing for that life again. I don't think I have ever felt more contented than I did those days and nights spent on the road. 

I long for that again.

Models; Demi Rueda, Brijido, Madeline Wainscott

So this past Sunday, Yezmene asked me if I would like to model for The Hoot Nest's lookbook. I of course said yes! The Hoot Nest is a vintage/thrift/upcycled shop located in downtown Fresno. The shop's owner, Gina, upcycles vintage clothes and ads her own little touch to them, yet still at a thrift store price. They've got so many amazing pieces! I actually ended up purchasing the vintage GAP shorts because I loved them so much. Demi, Brijido, Yezmene, and I all had a really great time shooting this. Quite a lot of fun. I hadn't modeled for any shops/clothing companies in about a year. Was great to get back into it! If you're ever around the Fresno area, this is one shop you must check out.

Hope you all are having a great week!

Earrings; Rock and Republic

Ever tried climbing rocks and hiking in heels? I did, and conquered. Honestly surprise I didn't hurt myself at all, haha. Photos by the lovely Demi Rueda, who I adventured with this past weekend up towards Millteron Lake and out to Sky Harbour. It was such a gorgeous day. We were both incredibly out of shape, and both panting and short of breath by the time we reached the top of this hill. Great bonding time with one of my best friends though.

I love how flowy this top is. I've come to realize that I like baggier, loose fitting tops, with tight pants. I don't know why, but that's how it usually tends to go. These earrings are also my new favorite pair, which my sister got me for Christmas. I absolutely adore them. 

So for awhile, I was feeling like my life was falling apart. I was finally working on bettering myself, and improving my relationship with God, and it seemed that everything else outside of me was falling apart. After lots of praying, and hard work, things are starting to look up again. Things at Victory Cafe are going really, really well. I am so excited for all the shows we having coming up the next couple months. I honestly couldn't be happier with it all right now. Life is good.

Hope you all are having an amazing week!
