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 don't really have a whole lot to say today to be honest. It's my day off so I've really just been relaxing and enjoying the weather while listening to a couple of my favorite bands at the moment. I'd suggest you check out both Nest and Nothing.

I have a total obsession with muscle tees, and The Laundry Room has one of the best selections of them out there. The brand originated here in my own city of Fresno, and have recently made it onto the likes of Nasty Gal, and Shop Planet Blue. It's rather exciting seeing a brand from my hometown make it out there. Lucky for me, their flagship store is located here, so I can go in and try on everything and not have to wait for anything I like to be shipped. If for any reason to happen to be out here, I suggest you pay a visit to their flagship store.

It's the second day of autumn, and it's actually starting to feel a bit like it here in central California! Super excited to be able to pull out all my jackets and fuzzy sweaters again. Plus some of the new pieces I've purchased within the past month. Be sure to keep a look out for those on the blog soon! Though I must admit, this is the time of the year I wish I lived on the east coast. I spent an October out there once, and I must say, it is absolutely gorgeous out there when the leaves start turning. Nostalgia. Sigh.

You all have a great start to your week!

Lost Lake: Pt 2

Here's the second set I shot with Andrew Hunter a couple weeks ago. I have to say the last of these is my favorite, it just looks so natural. I finally found my perfect hat (pretty sure I've mentioned it before, but I'm doing it again anyway). I'm also pretty stoked that my hair is long enough now for me to wear hats without looking too boyish. 

I know I'm lagging on my Seattle trip update, I promise I'll get that up within the week! It's been a bit of a bummer getting back to reality after having such a wonderful week away.

Hope you all have had a great weekend!

Lost Lake Pt. 1

 A year and a half later, and I finally got to shoot with my good friend Andrew Hunter again. He's one of the most incredible photographers I know, and is also Victory Cafe's in house photographer, doing both live shots and promos. 

I found these shorts (which I absolutely adore) at Buffalo Exchange in San Diego when I was down there a couple months ago. I can't believe how fast time has been going. I got back from Washington (mostly Seattle) yesterday (I'll have an update on that later on this week), and although I do miss everyone an incredible amount, it is nice to be home and have time to recuperate before heading back to work tomorrow. 

These photos were all shot at Lost Lake, about half an hour outside of Fresno. I've got another set from this shoot too, but that will be saved for another day. I've been getting back into the habit of going crazy with jewelry again, namely hand and arm parties (I love me some good bracelets and rings). I talked a good amount about the ring I got from Modern Design in my previous post, and it still has yet to leave my finger. 

Anyway, I'm off to relax some more. I'm still pretty physically and emotionally exhausted from my trip. Hope all of you have a great week, and those of you who started back up at school today, I hope it went well!
