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!

This has got to be my favorite photo shoot to date. I LOVE how these came out! All thanks to Mariaya. I feel like such a lost girl in these. We drove out to Millerton Lake, which was perfect location, especially with the face paint. Awesome concept shoot, I'm seriously obsessed. I forget how many gorgeous places there are just outside of the city. I love California, I really do.

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!
