Coast to Coast

I'm so excited to share my look for Gap's styld.by catalog! This summer I traveled from New York to San Francisco. The bag was perfect for holding all my travel items and showing a little enthusiasm, with out seeming too much like a tourist! I fell in love with this checkered shirt the moment I saw it. It will definitely be one of my fall essentials. More pictures from my travels will be up soon! 

The Moon Walker

This swimsuit has revolutionized my summer. I've been on the lookout for a suit that wouldn't fly away with the first wave yet one-piecers always seem to be so boring and never fit right. Blackmilk has the best variety of one-piece's. Even the back of the suit has an interesting print! I just swam with this in the Pacific Ocean today and can say-safest suit I've ever worn in the ocean! I couldn't be happier.

Magnetized

I got to try out the new magnetic nail polish by Sally Hansen. I'm not the best when it comes to painting nails so it was nice having a magnet do all the handy work for me... The key to this magic paint is to just keep using more. I found that if I messed up all I had to do was keep globbing it on (my kind of nail polish) and the design just kept getting better!! The Black Milk galaxy leggings, one of my prized possessions,  added to the intergalactic feel of the polish. I added "shoulder pads" to the H&M dress to make it more modest and futuristic. The shoes were surprisingly springy because of the jagged bottoms. I think I may have found my new go-to fall shoes... Anyways-more to come soon! I can't wait to hear what you all think...

Radio Cure

This bag has been perfect for summer. One of my favorite online stores right now is Shopakira. All the products on their site are so well photographed and they have the most delicious Jeffery Campbell's...what I would give... Anyways, the shirt is from Romwe and the rest is thrifted or made (the headband!)

Cathederal

I've been dreaming about Blackmilk since MIDDLE SCHOOL when I first fell in love with their galaxy leggings... It's taken me far to long to get my first pair of leggings from them. I have no idea how they get their innovative prints-when I stretched the material it never got that crinkly-screen-printed look. It's as if they were sewn in heaven! I wore these when I visited the Guggenheim Museum in NYC and was stopped by people asking where I found such incredible leggings. They're an art piece in themselves! More Blackmilk posts to come...Once you go Blackmilk, you don't go back;}

Dark Matter

This has been one of my go-to outfits with the weather being crazy hot lately. Today it is 104℉ outside. Unbearable. The Galaxy Dress is from Sheinside, and the shoes are from Oasap. I just visited NYC and wore these shoes almost the entire time-they were so comfortable!

Summer Solstice

     Philip and I went out to take pictures last week! He was an amazing photographer and was a natural with the manual settings...I was so proud :} I'm excited to use my Oasap backpack next year...The spikes should  protect me in the city. The glasses and shirt are from Romwe and were my go-to's for my Senior class Cedar Point-trip. The shirt was really light weight which helped a lot with the sauna-like temperatures in lines. The skirt is thrifted but the shoes are also from Oasap. I've been trying to stock up on walking shoes for the school year...

Wonder Woman

I've been looking for a location that resembled a trash dump with out having to deal with the liquidated dipers and terrible stench. This was the perfect median! 

Leggings: Romwe // Everything Else: Thrifted

Living in the Sunlight

My partner in crime, Sarah Sherman, and I finally got to spend a night together in the midst of all the end of the year senior business... She's always an inspiration and a good reminder to stretch myself creatively. I never want to get into a rut where photography becomes a chore or just a job. I want it to always be an adventure. Everything's an adventure with Sarah:} I'll post pictures of her look from the night soon!

Shirt: ROMWE Tights: OASAP Skirt: HOT TOPIC

For this look I wanted to see how creepy I could look through make up, hair and of course, the outfit. This shirt from Romwe had just the right amount of feminine and menacing qualities. 

Sarah helped with my hair and my eyebrows, since she's been watching 50's hair tutorials lately... The song at the bottom captures exactly what I was going for. I'd love to hear what you guys think!!

Vertical World

Hello!! This long over-do post was part of the Lookbook.nu x Victoria's Secret Collaboration. I had to create 3 looks in 3 days and needed to find someone nice enough to photograph them with me. Leah-the-Life-Saver was up for the challenge of shooting all 3 in one day! Here's one of the shoots we took in my basement after the sun got away from us. The super-soft V-neck was from Victoria's Secret. The amazing lace cape (also worn to the midnight showing of Breaking Dawn) is from Felicee. The Leggings are American Apparel and surprisingly the zippers on the side un-zip all the way...who needs tear-off sweat pants anymore? And the leather skirt was thrifted in Chicago. Can't wait to hear what you guys think! xoxxx

And lastly, an observational sketch made for my University of Michigan application. I never draw, it was somewhat fun/tedious. @__@
