bathtub series: skies

Hi guys!

It had been a while since I wanted to do a bathtub shoot. I had seen some on Pinterest and Instagram and felt inspired by them. I wanted to grab the idea and give it my own twist. There is nothing better than wanting to create something special and see it come to life, and even exceed your expectations.

I had been exploring the idea with other photographers, but it wasn't until I met Melissa, that I felt confident this project would come out great. I don't think I need to explain how talented this girl is. You just have to see for yourself :)

 

swimsuit: BlackMilk (from many seasons ago), accessories: My Kitsch (also available in 14k gold here, here, and here) 

This BlackMilk swimsuit is one of my favorites. I wear it as a top as well, and it definitely catches a lot of attention. I love the sky and grass detail on it. The colors are just so bright and beautiful. I wear it during fall with dark jeans and a leather jacket, and in spring/summer with lighter things. It just has so much potential.

I am also loving my Beyond The Stars Y necklace. The clear rock detail is so minimal and clean. It goes well with anything. I've been wearing it a lot, as you can see from my past posts.

Hope you like this!

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!

fringes and sparkles

This is the second look of the series Nathalia, from Style by Nathalia, and I did in collaboration with The House of Findings.

These two looks have a lot of crochet, embellishments, fringes and sparkles going on. Possibly my favorite from this Fall/Holiday collection series.

Hi guys!

Hope you're enjoying your first days of August. I sure am, although this is my birthday month and I really don't want to turn any older. I also don't want September to come by too soon. Seriously, where did the summer go? We only have a few more weeks of it.

On a happy note, I still get to wear cute crop tops for a little longer. This crop top and high waisted midi skirt are by AKA, the same store this dress is from. I still am obsessed with them. I'm telling you, this outfit looks way better in person than it does on camera.

crop top: AKA (here), high waisted midi skirt: AKA (here), chain ring and necklace: Jasmina Jovy, heels: JC

The chain necklace and ring I'm wearing are from Jasmina Jovy's new collection The Chain on Chain, which is not yet up on their website but will soon be. They are part of the same set I wore on my last post. They have been a part of my daily must-wear accessories since I received them.

The level of detail on each piece is mind-blowing. Go and check out all their collections here!

Let me know what you guys think!

So, 4th of July festivities will happen today in Boston. Thanks Arthur!

The Boston Pops show and fireworks have been moved to today, which means I am wearing my 4th of July shirt NOW. I had to run, take these pictures, and upload them so that you could see my outfit before I leave the house. And maybe get some outfit ideas for tomorrow if you're not in this area of the country.

I hope you have a great 4th of July! 

Stay safe and don't let any hurricane ruin your day!

black and white stripes + red

Hey guys!

Before I do my next post on Vegas, I just thought I'd do this post to show you this beautiful neoprene skirt. I've tried to blog about it since January, but the weather wouldn't allow me to. I can only handle a few cold posts at a time. 

For the past week we've had a few warm days, so I was able to take these babies out. I love the combination of black and white stripes with red. 

skirt: Front Row Shop (find here), top: Express

This is the third time I post about Front Row Shop. I have a major crush on the brand. I just can't get enough of their clothes. 

Be warned, if you check them out your credit card will suffer some serious damage! You'll want to buy the whole store. I promise!
