Time Flies

    August? Already? Where did summer go? Summer is my favorite season. I love everything about it- warm nights, lightning bugs, fruity drinks, and swimming in clear water. Too bad it seems to be the shortest season around here..
   This year has brought many changes and new experiences. From traveling 3 different countries to losing a loved one. I'm so thankful for the lessons I have learned and how much I have grown as a person. Things may not always go as we want or expect them too, but we must remember, God has a plan for us.

It's true that you tell the people you love everyday that you love them. This is especially hard for me because I'm not a very affectionate person.. but atleast make sure they know how much they mean to you! Spend as much time as you can with those close to you. Talk about their childhood, experiences, dreams, life lessons, ask them questions! I will never forget the things my mawmaw taught me & how she shaped who I am as a person. I'm so thankful I got to spend the time with her I did! I'm most definitely the most like her out of her grandchildren.. we had a special bond. So many memories that mean SOOO much to me... now I know she is in a better place, with all the people she always talked about, and of course, with God. 

Those memories will forever reside in my heart. I was blessed to have such a extremely loving, classy, thoughtful grandmother! RIP mawmaw Lynn. <3

Wake up everyday and consciously make an effort to make it the best day you can. When things get tough, always keep hope, because without it, we have nothing.

Breaking into Fashion & Modeling

   I'm dead set on starting my career early. That's the great thing about loving your job, you will be motivated to wake up everyday knowing that you are perusing your dreams. Living in a small town is not easy when it comes to wanting to gain experience in a field that doesn't have an influence on your community. Sure, I could be a doctor, a teacher, or a lawyer.. but if I don't LOVE it, then what's the point? I'm not going to spend everyday doing something I hate. 

   I've been reaching out to people in the fashion industry, hoping to get advice on how I can get a head start on my career. How can I do this..being in high school...in a small town? I sent in my question to Nikki Phillippi.. I love her! She is so real & I value what she says. I'm so happy she answered my question. Although, I mentioned my blog in my message, I suppose they overlooked it.. many people in the comments say to start a blog.. haha. One step ahead. 

  I'm planning on going to college at FIT in NYC to be a fashion stylist. If any of you know someone or have went to college for fashion please contact me! I would love to hear all about it! 

  Well, I must be doing pretty good then.. I'm connecting with those who share my passion, reaching out to those already in the business, and have my future planned. Everything Nikki suggested.. That makes me feel a little bit better. :) 

Watch to see Nikki answer my question.

4 Ways to Wear a White Tshirt: Sassy but Classy

    I've been planning this post for a while now, but haven't had time to take pictures of the other outfits. So I decided I would separate them into different posts. I am wondering...what do you all edit your pictures with? What websites, software, etc do you use? I find that editing pictures can be so stressful with all the clicking & entering different files.. What are some of your tips?

    Anyway, a white tshirt is one of the basics. There is so many ways to wear it! Dress it up or down, you just can't go wrong.. I love the accessories I paired with this outfit! I'm not big on statement necklaces, but this one is perfect! I've always wanted a hat like this, so when I found it at Wet Seal for $10, I had to get it! The shoes just pull the whole outfit together!

Tshirt: Old Navy   Boyfriend Capris: American Eagle     Necklace: Old Navy

On the RUN

Spring is FINALLY here. I don't know about you, but when it's warm out, I'm always happier! Maybe I should live in the tropics?
I just threw this outfit on to go to the grocery store but my mom said she thought it was really cute, so I thought why not take a few pictures and put it on my blog..
This outfit is comfortable & perfect for those days you just want to be lazy but still look decent. These Nike capris are soo soft. I love wearing them! You can wear tennis shoes, flip flops, or even moccasins with them. As for the Nike shoes, I searched everywhere for them last spring! I had my sight set on those! I checked a few place and they were all sold out.. I ended up finding them at Kohl's for a cheaper price. I think they are so fun & vibrant!
My Adidas tshirt is very motivational and it reminds me to keep going! I also really like the fit. I have another shirt in the same style, except it's a light purple. It was a little chilly out so I put on my purple Victoria's Secret PINK jacket that I've had forever now... (it has holes in it)
