Brights & Stripes

My, doesn't this color combination look familiar? Apparently I wasn't done with the whole yellow-green & blue combo quite yet. I changed it up by adding some stripes and a new blazer from Forever 21. I already have a black blazer, but this one has awesome gold buttons...totally different so I obviously had to get it.

About these pants.. I absolutely love the color of them, but I wouldn't recommend buying them. They stretched out like crazy. I was practically holding them up by the end of the day. Bit of a bummer.

PS - This is my last post with lighter hair. Stay tuned for my new fall do!

PPS - I won my first giveaway today!! I won this dress from Kate of O My Heart. Thanks Kate, can't wait to style it!

Catching Up..

Wow, it's been awhile. As I said in my last post, I was in Vietnam for about 11 days. I don't think I'm going to want Vietnamese food for quite some time, but the trip was amazing. Vietnam has such a diverse culture and landscape in such a tiny country. Our trip was a bit hectic because we wanted to see as much as possible in 11 days, and that we did, and it was so worth it. Since I'm a photographer, I'm still working on getting my hundreds of photos edited. Once I'm done with them, I can definitely do a post of the highlights of trip/my favorite photos if that's something you'd like to see. It's one of the most colorful places I've ever been, so I was pretty much constantly photographing something/someone haha.

Anyways, I'm back to blogging finally. In this post I'm going to include a variety of outfits that I've neglected to post in the last month or so. Hopefully then I'll feel all caught up and ready to get back to a few outfits a day! I'm also hoping to do a favorite beauty/hair products post, & new items I've recently purchased post very soon. :)

Thanks so much for bearing with me through this huge gap in posting. There's been a ton going on other than being out of the country for a bit. Mainly, me & Mary's apartment situation. Super long story short, we thought we found the perfect place, signed the lease, and started to move it. Gradually we noticed tons of problems from the lack of smoke detectors, to electrical problems, and we decided to get out of our lease and find a safer place to live. Unfortunately, it's been a headache and a half to finalize this thing, and trying to deal with this landlord is nearly impossible. But! We did find an absolutely gorgeous perfect apartment that we're moving into November 1st, and we cannot WAIT. It couldn't be more perfect. This new apartment has definitely been the silver lining in all the chaos. Okay..that wasn't exactly a short story, sorry.  :) Now on to the outfits, already!

Sorry for the photo overload, but I'm all caught up now! As I was adding each outfit I realized this is also kind of a shift in seasons through outfit photos. Accidental, but kind of cool haha. Fall is definitely in full swing now, as you can see in the last outfit(only a few days ago). Once again, thanks so much for bearing with me. I hope to get back to posting at least a few times a week now :)

Nashville Outfit #1

The past few days I've been in Nashville visiting my friend Kelsey, and the weather was seriously amazing(as you can see by my short sleeves). It made me even more excited for spring and summer. It was also a great chance to try out some spring outfits without a winter jacket! These red pants are quickly becoming a favorite of mine for spring. A colored pair of jeans are great for spring, especially if you're like me and tend to gravitate towards black, white, and grey clothes. I can already tell these pants will help me transition my monochromatic wardrobe into spring.

How cool is this pink loading dock? I did a bunch of photoshoot for bands/musicians while I was there and this was the location the first band chose for their shoot. There was a yellow wall with a giant red "LOVE" painted on it, and a turquoise and green wall as well. SO cool!
