Cut Outs

Skirt; Wasteland | Tank top; H&M | Boots; Urban Outfitters | Lipstick; Serpentina by Lime Crime

I'm really, really late on posting these. These photos have just been sitting around for months and I haven't taken the time to post them? Anyway, I NEVER thought I'd ever like a circle skirt on myself, but this leather cut out one I found at Wasteland I somehow fell in love with. I guess it's not my typical style, but I really like it anyway!

I've done a couple cool shoots with some photographer friends of mine, so I'll post those in the coming days. Tomorrow is my birthday and I'll be turning 26... I'm not even sure how to feel about that.

How are you guys?

Cropped Angles

Sandals; Urban Outfitters | Crop top; The Laundry Room | Shorts; DIY | Ring; Vanessa Mooney

Angles are deceiving. I'm not as tall as I look here (sometimes I wish I was, haha). But, this gray crop and the black lipstick have become my new favorite combo. I think I need to invest in some more gray shirts now. Also, I'm pretty stoked with how long my hair is getting. This is the longest it's been in years!! Let's see how much longer I can keep up with it before it becomes too much for me, haha.

See ya!

After falling in love with my purple crush Bad Vibes shorts, I had to get more. I ended up buying both the Prismatic (ones worn here) and the Champagne Supernova ones (they're gold and gorgeous, but we'll save those for another day). Pretty much, the combination of Bad Vibes shorts and Unif tees have been my summer wardrobe essentials. 

Tomorrow I have my first exam in my summer bio class, so I should get off to studying. 

Hope you all are doing well!

What a blessing it is to live in California, with this wonderful weather. Not having to deal with the polar vortex here is pretty awesome. It was a bit windy this day (as I'm sure you can tell in a few of these), but the weather was wonderful nonetheless. I love shooting with my best friend. She gets better with it every time. If I'm being honest, this crop top was a bit out of my comfort zone. I usually wear crop tops that aren't so... Cropped. These shorts I got from Pac Sun a couple of years ago, but I hated the colors. White and pink. So, I decided to try dip dying them. I folded them in half and dyed the middle black (which ended up turning out gray, but I'm liking the effect anyway). Then one side purple, and the other blue. I'm really loving how they came out. 

So I have started applying for jobs... In LA. Yeah. I think it's time I just throw myself out there and get out of Fresno, and living at home. Not going to lie, I'm absolutely terrified, but, it's time. If I don't push myself, then who will? I have applied for some pretty cool jobs there though, so prayers and good vibes would be appreciated. I'd be pretty stoked if I could land one of these. 

Hope you all have wonderful week!

Flashback Friday: Millerton Lake

Skirt; Urban Outfitters | Crop top; The Laundry Room | Shoes; Designer Shoe Warehouse | Socks; Target

These photos were taken by one of my closest friends, Mariaya Tallett, before she moved back home to Washington about a year ago. This was such a fun day. We went out to Millerton Lake for these shots. The weather was perfect. Cloudy and overcast, yet not cold. I wish we got more of this kind of weather here in California. And man, Mariaya, I miss you so much!!

I always love shooting by the water. Give me dark, cloudy skies and a body of water and I will be more content than ever. Unfortunately, California isn't having much of a winter. It's times like these that make me want to join Mariaya up in Washington...

I hope you all are doing well!

Surreal

Photos by Yezmene Fullilove

One of my close friends, Yezmene, hit me up today wanting to do a surrealist shoot, and these are the results. I really like how these came out. So whimsical. These shoes have not been off my feet since they came in. I absolutely ADORE them, and they have definitely take over the title of favorite shoes in my closet. The weather today was pretty gorgeous, cloudy and overcast, but not cold. A slight chill in the air, but the best kind.

Life's been pretty... Hm. Interesting, I guess? I'm kind of in a weird point. Just rolling with the punches I suppose. How have you all been?

Way Back Wednesday

Top, skirt, and hat; Young And Ukraine Vintage | Shoes; Dolce Vita via Urban Outfitters

I have been so behind on blogging and I apologize!!! Life has kinda taken over. Working, and more working, spending the majority of my free time with the boy, and trying to take photos at night sucks. I promise I'll have something new up within a week. But in the meantime, I thought it'd be fun to throw up some photos that haven't made it to the blog previously. These are from January 2012, when I was down in LA to model for Young And Ukraine. I'm still in love with this skirt and top combo. Probably my favorite outfit we shot for their web store that day. I miss doing stuff like this. It feels like it's been forever since I've shot with anyone!! Man.

Hope you all have been doing well!

Here's some more from the shoot last weekend with Yezmene and Michael.

I had a very busy day today. First shot with Yezmene again for The Hootnest's lookbook. The Hootnest is a little shop here in Fresno that has vintage/upcycled clothing. They've got some really rad pieces, so be on the lookout for those photos once I get them! Then after that, I did a really cool concept shoot with Mariaya. Stay tuned for that as well!

Hope you've all had a great weekend!
