thoughts

I'm looking at these pictures and thinking "man, I really do need a haircut!", and "I'm loving my tan... I hope it doesn't fade away too fast", also "wow, my style really has changed". 

That last thought prompted me to look back at my older posts and just reflect. Hitting my mid 20s has made me think a lot about my past, my present, and my future. The way I used to be and the way I am now. I've always found dressing up as an artistic outlet to my emotions, thoughts, and way of perceiving life. So, I believe that the way I feel inside is directly correlated to the way I dress. 

I could go on and write a whole essay about how I feel my life has changed and how I am starting to set up new kinds of goals in my life. I just think time is of essence and we don't have much to waste. How cliché is that? As cliché as it may sound, it probably is the biggest truth we have.

Now, this doesn't mean I threw away all the clothes I've bought these past five years. It just means I wear them, but in a different way. I still like to feel fun, sexy, and feminine. But, above all, I want to feel me, or at least, the present me. It's something that I like to think of as me growing as a person.

If you've followed me for a while, you know how much I love a good background. This isn't the first time I take pictures in front of a historic house. Last year, I did a Cinco de Mayo post in front of this beautiful, historic (teal blue?) house. 

This time, I took pictures in front of a house I always walk by, and that has intrigued me for years. It's the James Blake House, the oldest house in Boston, built in 1661. If you're from Boston and want to read more about it, click here.

I never felt the courage to walk into it by myself, but Cynthia and I were feeling a little adventurous that day. Plus, did you see all those beautiful flowers? How could you stop yourself from going in?

I hope you enjoyed!

transitioning

Hi guys!

Although everyone is talking about how summer is over, I don’t feel like it is yet. I know, I know! I named my last post “last days of summer”, but have you checked the weather forecast? At least here in Boston it’s going to be pretty warm for the rest of the week. That only means one thing: I’ll be going to the beach as much as I can before it's over. It won’t be fall until I feel the need to wear a light jacket.

On the other hand, I do enjoy wearing fall clothes, but without leaving summer behind. I like slooowly transitioning by wearing summer clothes like tank tops and shorts, with fall clothes like midi skirts and three-quarter sleeve tops, or just really anything that doesn't remind me that we're only one season away from winter now.

Have I ever mentioned that green is my favorite color? I keep finding myself adding green details to my outfits without even noticing.

Hope you guys like this:)
 Stay in the sun!

plaid on fur on leather

Hi guys!

Nathalia of Style by Nathalia, Calico, and I got together to bring you 4 fall/winter looks for the upcoming festivities and general cold days.

If you don't know about Calico yet, you have to check out their website NOW! They have a lot of really cool clothes and the best part: they are based out of Massachusetts. 

For this first look, Nathalia and I chose a lot of plaid, leather, and fur (fake, of course!). My favorite part of the outfit I was wearing, is the bag. I think the pop of green is the cherry on top!

 

Looking back at these pictures, I only regret not walking out with that vest. It is to die for!!!

What do you you think about these looks?

Hi guys!

I am SO sorry for being gone for so long! I got a new job and it's been really hard to shoot/post. 

If you follow me on Instagram you've already probably seen a sneak peek of this post (and if you don't, you need to be following me now because you're missing out on some serious funness). 

 This is the third look of the series Nathalia and I did for the Fall/Holiday collection by The House of Findings. Shooting this was really fun and we crashed into a lot of things. We thought we would get kicked out at some point, but guess what? We didn't. I guess we're professional supermarket models now!
