H&M

At first we wanted to use combat boots but when I saw this I immediately wanted to buy it so we decided to stick to all black shoes. Platform shoes isn't everyone's cup of tea but to be honest I feel like these type of shoes are easy to add some "spunk" into a girls' casual outfit.

Shoe Factory

These shoes weren't bought the day I bought my "twin" outfit, but I stumbled upon these shoes at a place called shoe factory. If you live in Vegas and happen to be at the Galleria mall, there's a place called Shoe Factory by BWW and I think everyone should that store out because they definitely have a lot of shoes to choose from and the prices are very very cheap... I got these for $10.88 !

Bath and Body Works

These candles are the mini ones from B&BW. I don't usually use candles so I tend to buy the mini ones instead. These scents from the Hawaiian collect are my favorites, but Black Sands has my heart, lol. I thought these scents were just perfect for the summer and I just didn't want to pass it up so I thought I might as well get these since I'm running out.

I'm so happy to share with you guys information about the shirt that I was able to get in the mail. Can I just say, this shirt is so freaking soft ?! Anyways besides that, I should let you know that the shirt that I'm wearing is actually a size M. I got a medium size shirt with the intention of wearing it as a "dress shirt", it obviously didn't work out, but since the design of the shirt was so versatile I was able to find something in my closet that could match it. Before I forget one of the things that I admire about this shirt is the "tag". Usually when I buy shirts, I always take out the labeling they stitch at the back of the shirt because (1) it's very bothersome, and (2) it always makes me itchy. This shirt was still able to incorporate their branding with the nuisance labeling in the back by adding it as a print at the back side of the shirt. If you guys need visual aide, look at Jo's post because she has a picture of the company branded their products. Oh and btw, this photo shoot almost killed me because it was seriously scorching hot and wearing these faux leather pants was just not a good combination, but for the sake of fashion I survived ! For more information about the shirt I will link it down below !

Exciting graphic tees will always compensate a comfortable look. Trying to go for a laid back style during summer can be quite tricky but loud graphic tees is the ultimate answer. While scrolling through Instagram, we stumbled upon this store called "Duchesse Paris" we thought the designs that was made in the store could fit this photo shoot. Upon receiving the order we were surprised with the quality of the shirts. The shirts were seriously (so freaking) soft, expressing it doesn't really do justice but I think you guys get my point. For me I like to stick to the neutral colors but even though the design of the shirt is very eccentric there was a slight hint of neutrality which I actually really liked. Speaking of prints I think it was really cool that although there's one dominant theme in the design, the company was still able to put those subtle prints that makes the shirt stand out more. You guys should really check out the store and order your own eccentric graphic tee. I will link her store and her Instagram below, you guys can also shoot her an email if you have any questions. Good luck !

Short hair, I care. After years of growing out my hair, I have finally decided to cut about 10 inches off of my hair. It was a decision I pondered on for months, but I told myself that after prom I will cut my hair. I have a trauma when it comes to cutting my short because a lady once cut my way too short and I just didn't like so I had to wear my hair up for months. Anyways, I searched for hair lengths that I feel like would match me. When it comes to Kpop its very rare for them to have medium length cuts, its either flowing down to their backs or touching their chins. Then I remembered how much I adored Park Bom's hair in 2ne1's music video "Falling In Love", so I decided to use her hair as guide. Long story short, I'm totally in love with my new hair and I can't wait to just rock it with my summer outfits !

This year I finally celebrated the big "1-8". Although, this isn't much of a fashion post I wanted to share it with you guys anyways just in case you guys might need some inspiration. So one of things I wanted for the party I had was a "photo book" just so my guests can write their messages to me and I can bind it into one space. I wanted the book to be more customized so I decided to have different photo shoots that captivates my personality. These shoots might seem childish but to me it represents my playful side, that even though I'm now considered an "adult" I'm still a child at heart. The set for this shoot was put together in a matter of minutes. The dollar store is you best friend to be perfectly honest; you can buy different props and everything else you might need. If you guys have ever done something like this, let me know !

Hello World,
I think this is my favorite photo shoot so far. Arkay Mendoza did a great job with these photos and making everything look natural. Her photography skills definitely complimented my outfit. This outfit is earthy and gypsy inspired. You'll notice that my whole outfit is pretty much just one color in different shades. Brown is one of my favorite colors because it's simple but stands out. My brown long skirt is from Forever21 and one of my favorite piece in my closet. To match my skirt, I wore a simple crossed patterned blouse. The color of the blouse matched with my skirt without it blending in. This gypsy inspired outfit gave me a reason to wear a lot of accesories without the accesories overwhelming the outfit. Bangles, bracelets, rings, and big earrings go well with outfits that are simple and earthy. The accessories, simple makeup, and messy waves complete the outfit. 

<3,
Jo
