I cannot believe Halloween has come and gone this year. Despite it being one of my favorite holidays, I kept it pretty chill this year. I am pretty sure the gross weather had a lot to do with it. I did dress up at school as a comic book character though, going all out on my makeup to perfect a comic book aesthetic. To end my week, I went to a party at the independent movie theatre: The Nightlight with my college bestie, Giselle. Assembling a last-minute costume, I created a dark-eyed, blood, red lips look combined with one of my many black dresses, to become a vampire. And lastly, I found this orange, velvet dress at Target. It was just too cute to pass up. It reminds me of a dress Ms. Frizzle would wear for Halloween; as a teacher I will happily embrace anything that gives me Ms. Frizzle whimsy vibes. The vibrant orange and bat pattern is just so fun! I paired this dress with my go-to leather jacket and some leather booties.

I had a blast finally shooting and exploring Akron with my newest photo friend, Lindsey Poy—check out some of her work here. 

As for a random life update: I know I've been MIA, but this quarter my priority has been getting acclimated to school. In the meantime, I somehow have created a ton of content waiting to be posted, so stay tuned! 

Hope you had a Happy Halloween! <3

Spring, Spring, Spring. I'm so excited that I am slowly finally able to dress for the spring weather. Many of my friends started dressing in spring trends a month ago, this cold baby couldn't get herself out of sweaters, jeans, and boots. 

I'm so excited to finally own something in this super on trend style.. off the shoulder! The minute I saw this tobi.com item I had to have it. Olive is such a gorgeous basic color, and the material is so soft and comfy. I know I will be dressing up and down this item all summer long. Also, I have literally seen everyone rocking the off the shoulder and I had to join in. I'm kind of late jumping in, only because of my reason above... i'm always cold. I know people sacrifice freezing for fashion, but nope I cannot function being cold.. I rather bundle up! haha 

I wore this dress with some of my favorite accessories! I wore this double choker/chain necklace that I got from Versona accessories, and my booties are from Target. I decided to go with a western chic vibe. I stuck with gold coloring on my jewelry, my booties have brass studs, and kind of have a cowgirl feeling. I went with a slightly different hairstyle, it's still down, but instead I parted it down the middle. I think it makes the entire look. I never liked my hair worn this way, but I think I'm going to start wearing it this way! Overall I have a feeling this outfit will be repeated in days to come!
