Record Inspiration

I shot these with one of my good friends Demi a couple weeks ago. We pulled inspiration from a few different sources to create these images. For those of you who know me, you know that music has always been a huge part of my life. So we pulled inspiration from that and ran with it. I love how these came out. In case you guys are wondering, here's the bands of the records pictures: Whirr, The Chain Gang of 1974, Mansions, and Joseph Arthur. All records that I love. Whirr's "Sway" is the newest to the collection, and it's a great one. The Chain Gang of 1974's "Wayward Fire" isn't a new release, but it's still one of my favorites. The Mansions record is actually a test press of their album "Dig Up The Dead" that I won a few years ago. Then Joseph Arthur, a record I picked up while in Portland, because why not buy records while in Portland, am I right?

Life has been busy, but good lately. Keeping busy with school, work, and the boy. I have been missing my best friend pretty bad though. Come back from Arizona already, Megan!

Hope you all are well.

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?

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!

P.S. How was everyone's fourth of July?!

I love my cave of a room. I also love this UNIF shirt that I have pretty much been living in since I got it. I also love my baby, Truffles, who makes an appearance in a couple of these photos. She's a mama's girl (she just doesn't like being forced to do things as you can see in her face above).

Hope you all are well.

I have been after some Bad Vibes shorts for probably about a year now (or whenever it is they first released them). I finally bought myself a pair, and I am in love (I may or may not have bought two more pairs after receiving these ones and discovering just how perfect they are)! Madeline and Brit, you girls are geniuses for these. 

The weather here in California has been so bipolar... Last week it rained, this week it's in the 90's, and next week it's supposed to drop back down to the 70's. Make up ya mind!

Anyway, hope you all are having a grand week!
