"It's hot outside?"

Swimsuit: Modcloth / Jacket : Miss KL / Boots: Jessica Buurman / Hat: Purple Cow 

I know I know, "You said you would post regularly!?". I thought I would be able to, but school and work have consumed my life. But I pinky promise you I'm dressing to kill everyday for school. I'll probably start posting ootd's on Instagram, if you'd like to keep up! 

I adore this swimsuit. I decided to jazz it up with a fake furry coat (bc why not) and some daaaaamn sexy thigh high boots. I didn't actually wear this outside, though I wish I would have. I thought it would be cool to photoshop myself instead. So if this is a yes, let me know! It'll be a lot easier since I don't have much space in my apartment to take pictures. Instead I can photoshop myself into random places, ya?

I had a nice day out with a couple of friends the other day for some shooting that they had in mind. First we were doing almost a Rebel Schoolgirl look, hence the pigtails. I'll definitely share those pictures sometime soon, don't worry! But after I brought a change of clothes and they took a couple shots of me for fun. They are both immensely talented and I had so much fun with them. Definitely go check both out!

I love how all of these turned out, and the Icee just adds to the look right? I guess I'll start using food as props...

Come Into My Dream

Once again, another hot day where Claudia and I took refuge in the shade. The Louisiana sun is relentless lemme tell you. 

You may recognize this dress from one of my previous posts. I loved it as a dress, but I love it even more as this vest thing. I wanted to wear it, but with something underneath, and no way was I wearing pants underneath. So I decided to snip snip and it turned into a cool vest to throw over outfits. I'm thinking of putting huge pom-poms at the bottom to spice it up. 

I'm also obsessed with these shorts and shoes. The shorts are suuuper comfy and I guarantee they will be my uniform for school. And the shoes....come on. There are no words to describe these shoes. Platform, colorful, and metallic? Whole package. 

Off topic, but I recently posted this picture up on my Instagram:

A couple of my friends commented sweet or funny things on it that I was accustomed to and enjoyed. But then someone whom I've never met or known commented "Ew, shave your pits please" with a couple of laughing/crying emojis behind it. I thought this very rude and uncalled for. What have I done? Showed you a picture of natural hair that I didn't feel the need to shave? Is something so wrong with it that it gives you the need to comment something rude on someone's picture? I love this picture because I was happy when it was taken. It brings back good memories that I always want to reminisce on. I just don't understand society and how ill-mannered people can be sometimes.

If this look doesn't scream "It's hot as shit, sweat is rolling off of me", then I don't know what will. These past few weeks have been so unbearably hot, hence the scarcity of blog posts. Trust me, I still put on clothes, but it's terrible to go in the heat and take pictures. I'm thinking of getting a really cool tapestry or backdrop to hang in my apartment so I won't always have to go outside to take pictures. Thoughts?

Claudia and I went to get frozen yogurt and decided to stop by the skate park on our way home. It was cooling off at this point in the day, so I wasn't whining too much. We had fun watching people skateboard and rock climb, so all in all it wasn't too excruciating.

Can we talk about these SHOES? I mean come on...I bought two new pairs from Sammydress and I could honestly keep them both on forever. One shoe on each foot. Done. I'm also in love with this little clutch thing. I was getting some makeup products at a CVS and saw it, and obviously fell in love. I think it's actually meant for makeup storage, but it has a strap, therefore it shall be worn as a clutch.

Party Girls

Dress, Skirt, Belt: Thrifted / Boots: Jessica Buurman 

Surprise, surprise I'm alive! Things have been hectic lately getting situated in the apartment and I'm not going to lie, I've lost my drive to blog. Don't get me wrong, I love getting in front of the camera to show off what I've created, but lately I've been lost as to what I really want to do. I know this blog is purely for fun and meeting new, fashionable people who share the same interest as me. Sometimes I just forget that I suppose. 

Anyhow, I'm in love with this dress, but as you can see it has some major side slits. Although I would definitely walk around without anything under the dress, my mom would have a heart attack. I thought the deep red would contrast nicely with the deep blue of the dress. Not to mention this dress will definitely come in handy with this blazing summer we are having so far. (90 degrees combined with serious humidity? Go away.) And of course my lovely Chanel-inspired boots from Jessica Burrman top the outfit off. 

How is yalls summer so far? Planning any fun trips? Let me know! 

New Beginnings

Top: Oasap / Shorts: Miracle Eye / Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell 

New hair, new beginnings right? A handful of things are changing in my life right now, and I am extremely excited for all of it, so I thought a new do would add into my excitement levels. 

I've been aching to change my hair in some way for a while now, contemplating different styles and colors, but I went with chopping in some bangs that are very reminiscent of Mia Wallace. So far I have no complaints, I did them myself and I love the way they came out. 

I'm also living in these suuuuper comfy Miracle Eye shorts that I just bought, perfect for summertime. I thought it looked nice with this dupe of the Wildfox seashell boob sweater. Claudia and I went on a picnic this day, hence the change in scenery as well as random stone deer.

Model: Claudia / Photographer: Camille / Styling & Makeup: Me 

This past weekend, my friends and I decided to do a little shoot, which benefits all of us. Claudia for modeling, Camille for her photography, and me for my styling. To say it was fun was an understatement. We picked a bunch of stuff from my closet and put together themed outfits and met Camille at a beautiful little arboretum. 

I honestly have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to makeup, but when I see something I love I tell Claudia and we work together to make it happen since she's a makeup goddess. So now a little breakdown of each outfit:

Urban Boy: I wanted to make this really androgynous, yet feminine and sexy at the same time. So pairing the capri pants with this cropped sweater (I've had it since I was like 6 lawllllllllz) and showing a bit of underwear seemed like the perfect idea. The little clips in her hair serve as the feminine yet really urban aspect and ties everything in. And of course intense contouring makes her bitch face stand out even more. 

Dominant Lolita: I love everything about Lolita style so I wanted to somehow recreate it in my own way. I knew she would have pigtails and little pinkish circles on her cheeks to play up the innocent girl vibe. But then I saw my leather overall dress and knew we were gonna go a whole other way with the Lolita- make her a dominatrix. The pants underneath still tie into the Lolita theme due to the light pastel colors and sweet print. But then the leather on top makes her suuuuper badass. 

French Bitch: I love this hat and neck scarf, so it made perfect sense to do something along the lines of French. I wanted her to have a a fresh face, so we didn't do much makeup. Putting the lingerie nighty with the boyish striped shorts made me think of the dual meaning when someone thinks "French". On one hand, you've got the sweet and sexy lingerie, but on the other you have the stripes and bagginess that I think of when I think 'French boy'. And of course, Chucks to tie it in. 

Modest Fairy: I recently bought a lot of lingerie, this bra being my favorite of all. I immediately thought pairing it with this little tulle skirt would scream FAIRY. I put a little bit of green eye shadow on her lid and then pink all around with three little jewels on one eye. I liked her standing on the bridge, making it seem like she's the fairy tempting you into her realm. 

Satanic Princess: MY FAVORITE. Dear God I was breathless when I saw the pictures from this outfit. I'm really inspired by Brooke Candy, on all levels, and she had some intense eye makeup like this for a show, so I thought I would replicate it. Of course Claudia looks fucking amazing in my Bad Vibes shorts and then paired with those gladiator heels she looks like a devil-worshiping princess.  

I have to say none of this would have worked without the amazing skills that Claudia and Camille both have. I love them both so much and they are so freaking rad to work with! 

I'm going to post the rest of the pictures on my portfolio later, so keep an eye out for that (tab at the top of the blog!)
