Back to my roots

Hey all!
So, I decided to color my hair dark because the blonde seriously thinned out my hair so much. Plus, my hair just wasn't healthy anymore. Don't get me wrong, I've seen people go blonde and have THE DRIEST hair in the world, but mine wasn't dry at all. My hair was still pretty shiny, soft and felt healthy...it just got really thin. I also got a trim, too, and it instantly looked and felt healthy! It's definitely going to take a bit getting used to, but after all...I was born with dark brown hair.

I love coats like these because you can wear them with almost any type of outfit, whether it be dressed up or dressed down. The only problem is, I'm short and I wish they had like an X-Small for me because I'm sure this coat isn't supposed to be this long...petite problems.

I finally got some Huaraches. I couldn't get a pair last year because I was busy with school, so I slept. A few years ago, I've always said that I wish Nike would make Huaraches in my size and they finally did last year and I slept. So I waited for a restock or for a sick pair and so I browsed on Blends and found these. I love the leather detail on these...this shoe is beautiful! Stay curious for more looks...I'm busy studying for the NCLEX-RN, so the blog life will be a little slow this month. Wish me luck!

Camel Coat Series: Fit One

So the thing about this blazer/coat...you NEED this as a staple in your closet! Not only is it great for the cold weather, but it's great for both casual and dressy looks. I got it at Forever 21 last year, I believe. This look is definitely on the casual side. Obviously, the kicks dress it down, but you can dress this look up with a nice pair of strappy heels or a cute pair of booties. You know me, I have to incorporate my kicks once in a while...

Happy Sunday!
I hope all is well. I'm feeling a little under the weather in this beautiful summer weather. I've been sick with a bad cold ever since I got back from my Vegas trip last weekend. This week I was just recovering all week long and I just so happened to get sick, too. It was the worst. Now, I'm recovering from this sickness...oh, and I forgot to mention I moved into my new place. I moved from living on an island in Huntington Harbour to living on the beach in a beach house. Exciting! I can run on the beach every morning now. As soon as I get better and when I'm all settled in, I plan to enjoy the beach everyday for the rest of the summer.

Stay curious for a room tour type post! I'm decorating/settling into my new room at the moment. Who knew I'd have so much stuff?! My room is coming together, though, slowly but surely. Can't wait to show you guys!

Just Do It

Here's a Nike look featuring one of the 3 pairs of Air Jordan 1's that I own...the Black and Red 1's. Just felt like posting a sporty look and show y'all my sporty side. I was inspired by this jacket. I saw Kap wear it one day and I just loved the way it looked. I wanted to wear it as a dress and I didn't know what shoes to wear with it, so we decided the Bred 1's matched perfectly. So here's a sporty just because. Stay curious for two more looks featuring my other 2 pairs of 1's. I still need to shoot another sporty look, so stay curious for that too. I've got a lot for y'all. Even though I'm super busy with my 3rd semester of nursing school, I manage to find time to shoot. Hope you all enjoy this look! I had fun shooting at this location. Very interesting. Loved using the natural lighting.

Balance

Just finished finals for Med-Surg 3 so I get a little break this weekend, then I start my OB/Pediatrics rotation on Monday...ahh, the life of a nursing student. On the bright side, the Holidays are coming up, right? Anyway, here's a little fun look I put together featuring one of my favorite J's and a custom made top by one of my good IG friends, Cassie aka SlimJawn. It also came with matching underwear, as well. I'll put together a 90s look featuring those soon.

I don't know if you guys have noticed yet, but I love wearing kicks with feminine pieces like midi skirts and midi dresses. I love to create outfits with a balance between feminine pieces and masculine pieces. Most of the masculine pieces are my kicks like all my J's, running shoes, etc. and most of my feminine pieces are my clothes. If I do end up wearing heels, then my actual outfit will include boy clothes like a jacket, jersey, tee, etc. I don't like to be too girly, it's just not me...maybe for Vegas or a wedding, but as for my personal everyday style, I love to balance out a girly look with kicks a boy would wear. Does that make sense?

Hope you all enjoy this look! I had fun putting it together...you guys don't know how many times I changed before I decided I wanted to wear this midi skirt. I was going to wear boyfriend jeans with this but you know how I like to balance things out...that would've been too much on the tomboy side.

This is my free weekend so you know I'll be shooting all weekend for my blog. Stay posted for more looks coming!

I Just Might Be in Yo Hood

So here's yet another "sporty" look. I don't know what inspired me to dress like this that day that I shot this. I just randomly threw this outfit together and it just worked.

These are the shoes that were in the Instagram giveaway I recently hosted with Public Desire. It was a success, by the way. There were probably 1,000+ participants and I randomly picked the winner. These shoes are called "Zia" Platform boots. They're actually really comfortable to walk around town with because of the big platform. They're the perfect boot to add to a casual look such as this one.

This was one of my very last shoots of the summer and it was shot by my good friend Romar, who took most of my pictures all summer. We shot this on the street my best friend lives in Carson (my hometown). I spent most of my days there this summer. It's refreshing to come back to where you came from just to kick it with old homies. I love Carson, California. It's my home and I am proud to be from there. Anyway, hope you all enjoy this look.
