It's all in your eyes...

So this is the final Vegas post! I'm still counting it as Vegas even though this entire post was taken when we stopped for a stretch in the middle of nowhere, Nevada, on our way back home. It was ugly hot outside and my hair was no match for the wind but George got some great shots of our surroundings.

We had a great trip. I miss the desert so much. Smiles.

By the way, if you don't already know, New York Fashion Week is over but say hello to London Fashion Week. Got my NYFW round up coming soon!

Why are you my remedy...

I know I know we're already a week and some into August and this is barely my first post of the month.

It's a pretty special one though because last Friday Veronica and I actually went out and had a fun night in San Jose. She took some awesome pictures on her camera and we had a little shoot in the SoFA district for South First Fridays. It was so great, there were food trucks and galleries and vintage sellers. You may have seen the pictures from our Instagrams.

We went mainly for our friend at BOLO Vintage. Definitely check them out, I linked their Facebook page with their name, click it! I got some really cute stuff I can't wait to style. Smiles.

I apologize for not being on here in a while. A lot of stuff has been going on with work and what not. I have recently been promoted which is amazing news but things are going to be busier. Time managing is going to be hard but I'm looking forward to it. Smiles.
Also I'm getting ready to go to Vegas in a couple weeks to celebrate my momma's birthday which is going to be jammin'. I need a vacation. See you soon babies. x

Shine bright...

If you're reading this, yay to you for surviving the end of the world and being a badass!

Sorry for the lack of posts on here since being home.

It's just been family time here so I haven't had any time to post anything. I got home and the very next day I had a sister weekend which was amazing. I'll post about that soon hopefully.

I thought I would just give you guys some holiday spirit with the photos from the Fashion Team's holiday photoshoot "Handful of Glitter." If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen some sneaky peeks that I posted while it was happening. One of our models didn't show up and again I had to fill in, but I didn't mess it up! The photos turned out great and we had such a great time shooting. Smiles.

Happy holidays everyone! Hopefully I will see you all before Christmas, but if that doesn't happen then I wish you all an amazing holiday! xo

Feeding my flame...

I thought I'd finally show you guys how the fall shoot turned out. Sorry I haven't had time to post any outfits on here lately. Midterms have been annoying as usual and a lot of stuff has been going on.

Then they dive in it...

So I told you a couple weeks ago that I was going to do some fun Halloween projects this month with Slug Style. I've only been part of the club and going to meetings for a couple of weeks, but it's been really fun so far. It's nice to hang out with people that share the same interests as you and to get inspired by people's ideas that you've never really thought about before. We're starting to get our shiz together about becoming an official club on campus since we're still kind of a baby at the moment. But I'm really excited about what's to come and all the projects we're going to do this year.

Last week, we had our first photoshoot of the year and it was pretty much a success. We all came together  and worked hard but also had great fun. When we were in planning mode, I took the role of stylist with a couple of other people for the shoot. We all went thrifting downtown to look for pieces to style. The shoot was obviously planned for Halloween but the actual theme was "wearable witch" which was right up my alley. Every look we styled I wanted so badly, even though I knew most of it wouldn't have fit me. However, I did somehow end up being one of the models for the shoot because of people not showing up and what not. Yeah, that's me in the hat. Go me doing two jobs!
Veronica did the make up for the shoot (on her birthday no less) and she did a great job. We celebrated later that night with burgers and milkshakes (what else?). Oh and we also did a little impromptu photoshoot that night. It looked so creepy outside, we just had to. Anyway, I thought I'd show you some behind the scenes shots Veronica and I took before and during the shoot. The last one is a little preview I posted on Instagram. Can't wait to show you the final shots. Smiles.

I'm trying to get into the hang of blogging again, at least once a week. It's just been really hard recently especially because I had midterms this week.
But I love you guys and I hope you are having a great October! xo

Feet upon the ground...

Hello my dears!

I thought I would finally post something this month since we're about halfway through September already. A lot of stuff has been going on, I've been spending time with my loves, packing for school, and just finishing out my summer as best I can. I went to Disneyland yesterday with my sister and Geo to celebrate her birthday and it was great fun. I will post about that really soon. It's my last week in good old Monrovia so I'll be a busy bee.

So some news: I chopped all my hair off and it's really different but it's new and I love me some change. If you follow me on Instagram, you probably have seen it already, but I will post a picture of the before and after at the end of this post.

Today I've decided to just show you what's been going on in my life through Instagram. Smiles.

New hair yay!

I'll see you guys really soon. xo

Here we are, just runaways...

There are things that make me happy. Photoshoots with Rosee Rose make me happy.

A couple weeks ago, Rose and I did a photoshoot just for funsies. Plus I wanted to get shots of my ombré before I cut my hair. So all we knew that it was hot as balls outside. What we didn't know was that it was 102 degrees. However, despite that we had a jammin' time shooting like we always do. She's so great at what she does and making me look good. I think they turned out great.

I hope a summer photoshoot with Rose becomes a tradition for us. I love that lady.
xo

So this past weekend we celebrated my mom's 59th birthday. I love that woman. I want to look like her when I'm 59. She's the best and cutest mom ever. Smiles.

We had lunch in Burbank yesterday and then saw The Bourne Legacy which I enjoyed. Her actual birthday is today so my parents and I had lunch before my dad went to work. I spent the entire day with my mom. It was nice.

Some updates:

- I bought The Hunger Games on DVD last week and I've seen probably fifty times already. Smiles.

- Cool things are happening, cool things like guest blogging and night shoots. Can't wait to show you.

- I've been reading a lot lately. I forgot how much I love it.

- Fall is coming soon. I am ecstatic for knits and boots.

- I'm having a big thrift store shopping day soon with the besties Jeff and Eddie. Yay clothes!

See you beautiful people very soon. xo

Heaven is place on earth with you...

Hi blog family!

So a couple of things.

1. I haven't had internet in my apartment for the longest time so I've trekked to the library of all places to do my blogging. That is how much I love you all. Since I don't have internet I've been bugging Veronica and watching Youtube videos with her since she has internet. We saw that Urban Decay is coming out with a second Naked Palette. I really wanted the first one... And now I want the second one.

2. The next time I'll be blogging probably won't be until I get home for winter break because of all of the finals and studying and packing and what not I need to do before Tuesday which is when I'm coming home. Thank the Lord. Thanksgiving break was not long enough.

3. I'm really happy I thought about Inspiration Wednesday because it keeps me thinking about my blog and giving all of you guys something to read. So today is another one I'm excited to show you.

4. My last post about Thanksgiving didn't have a Christmas Lust List ending attached to it because I didn't have any more to show you guys but never fear. I have another set of things added to my list.

So first, the inspiration.

We all know how close I am with my sister. As you can see, my inspiration this week is sisters. Especially since I am super excited for my photoshoot with my big sissy this coming break. She is a huge inspiration in my life in everything and we love other sisters who inspire us.

1. Dakota and Elle Fanning (These girls are practically cherubs. Love them.)

2. Kourtney, Khloe, and Kim Kardashian (Don't care what people say, they are so entertaining to watch. Haha.)

3. Natalie and Dylana Suarez (My sister, along with these two girlies, made me want to start blogging. Smiles.)

4. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (Um, duh.)

Here's an update on the Christmas Lust List.

1. Opaque Over-the-Knee Cable Knit Sock in Bordeaux from American Apparel

All the over the knee socks I have are black. Why is that? I now want these red ones and some charcoal gray ones. Yay.

2. Alexander McQueen skull scarf in black

Beautiful. Enough said.

3. TOMS shoes in the Classic black canvas

It's really bad because I want these only because I see them everywhere. But I really do want a pair. I think they're cutesies.

4. Harry Potter: Page to Screen, The Complete Filmmaking Journey

On Black Friday, my sister and I saw this book at Barnes & Noble and our jaws dropped. It's a huge as balls book. I just thought, Oh my god, all my dreams. (If you get my reference I'll love you forever.)

Also thank you to my sister who showed me this song.
