I apologize for the lull in blogging, life has been pretty busy with school and work. I took a couple summer classes, which were pretty intense but fun! I'm so proud of myself, I got a 4.0 GPA for my summer semester. It's such a nice feeling, considering this was my first semester back in college after five years. Ya girl's still got it. These photos have to have been from at least a month ago now. I miss Megan. She's currently living in Arizona, and a long distance friendship with your best friend is kind of hard. 

As you can probably tell, I can't get enough of Bad Vibes and their rad shorts. I have three pairs now, these ones are the Champagne Supernova color way. So gorgeous, and the most comfortable. And yeah, literally the only makeup I'm wearing in these photos is mascara. A bit different, eh?

How are things with all of you?

I love a simple black and white look. Basic white tank, coated black denim, black (faux) leather jacket, and just add some accessories to spice it up a bit. Plus a swipe of red lipstick, and you're good to go! Very streamlined, with a bit of attitude thrown in. I love this necklace by Vanessa Mooney, I've been wearing it so frequently ever since I ordered it. I was very impressed by their speed and customer service. I seriously want half of everything on their site. 

Hope you all are having a good week!

I've gotta apologize again for not having posted in forever. It seems as though this is becoming a habit and I'm not stoked on it!! I just feel like I've been working nonstop and haven't had the time (or the sunlight) to be able to take photos! So, since I don't have anything new to show, I thought I'd do a throwback. These photos are from about two years ago. This was the first time I ever shot with/met Andrew, and we've been friends ever since. Seems crazy that these were taken that long ago now. Time really does fly.

How was everyone's Christmas?! Mine was pretty low key, spent it with just my parents and sister. It was honestly really nice, not having to work and just spending the entire day with them. I really do love my family. They're just the best.

Anyway, hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas!

Candid

Top; Prabal Gurung for Target via Buffalo Exchange | Faux leather shorts, hat, cuff; Forever 21 | Sunglasses; Azkara | Boots; Kohl's | Socks; Target | Lipstick; Revlon Va Va Violet

My good friend Lacey caught me in some candid shots while she was in town visiting last week. Despite being candid, there's something about the first one that I like so much. I feel like it really encompasses the basis of my personal style. Like, I feel like I've finally gotten to the point where I have defined my own personal style, one which I am so happy with. 

I ended up going shopping with her this day, clad in faux leather shorts and this Prabal Gurung for Target top, which I got at Buffalo Exchange while I was in San Diego about a month ago. I absolutely adore this top, the colors are just wonderful, as is the mesh top half. It just so happened that I found this hat in the sale section while shopping at Forever 21 this day, and it went perfectly with the outfit. I have been looking for the perfect hat for so long, and I've finally found it! It's inspired a bunch of new outfit combinations in me, which I cannot wait to show you all once photographed. This was my lucky day in Forever 21, as I had also been looking for the perfect, somewhat large arm cuff, and this one I found is exactly what I'd been looking for! Two essential wardrobe pieces now checked off the list. Always nice! :)

Also, I dyed my tips purple!! I've been wanting to do a purple ombre for about a year now, and finally did it myself! The perks of being your own licensed hairdresser. 

Happy Friday, and enjoy your weekends!

Summer Daze

Dress; Azkara | Shoes; Michael Antonio | Rings; Wasteland, vintage

This is the perfect lacy black dress for summer. And these shoes!! I got these at DSW a couple months ago as a grad present from my mom. They're perfect for summer! I love the bright colors and the ribbon like straps. 

Anyway, I'm sure you've all heard that Google reader is shutting down tomorrow. So, if you wanna keep up with me and my blog, follow me on bloglovin HERE!

Thanks to Demi Rueda for the photos!

I was so stoked when I got in 10th Tribe's limited edition Violent Youth Beanie, that I texted Demi immediately to do a shoot showcasing it. It is the most perfect beanie. Paired with my Unif shorts and JC's with knee highs made for the perfect match. Demi also said that I let out my inner lioness during this shoot. Fierce. Haha.

So things have been crazy for me lately. I have two days left of school I graduate Saturday. I have my state board test to get my license April 3rd. This weekend was spent with Phinehas who crashed with me before their show at Victory Cafe on Tuesday.

Ended up having to transfer half their gear in my car while their van was out of commission.

Officially ending this school in Phase Two, Paul Mitchell's honor program. This rose that looks like the piranha plants in all the Mario games proves it.

However though, I came home from school today with a low grade fever. Let's pray that I can kick this tonight and don't wake up feeling worse in the morning. I only have two days of school left, I don't want to push back my grad date any more!

Hope you all are doing well.
