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.

Spring is finally back, and guess what ?! So are we ! I know we haven't blogged in the longest time but that's because we've been extremely busy; Jo's last semester of college, and my last year of high school. Although, this fashion blog has been a huge part of my senior year, I'm trying to connect more to the outside world. Anyways, these pictures were actually taken for my 18th birthday photo book. I thought I'd share them with you since they resemble the feelings of Springs. I took more pictures for my 18th birthday, so I'll blog those in a few days. Thank you for still checking out our blog even though we rarely blog.

I think we're all sometimes a tad bit afraid of doing print on print, but for this outfit I took that risk. To make it work for me, I made sure both prints weren't dominant. For the skirt, the print was quite subtle compared to my top since it blended with the color. I also made sure the "grids" on my top was bigger compared to the print on my skirt so it wouldn't clash. I think matching prints can be quite fun, don't ever let anyone tell you "you're not supposed to wear matching prints" because to be honest that's a fashion rule that's meant to be broken so you can express more of your creativity.

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,

Recalling this photo shoot, we definitely had a blast. It was my first time working with Stephanie, and honestly she was just a bundle of happiness. She definitely made the photo shoot lively with her personality. I made separate posts for the outfits we're wearing. Anyways, if you guys want to follow Stephanie here's her instagram: @love_bahanie

I think the trend of black and white has made my heart its asylum. As much as I dread wearing black during the summer, especially because I live in Vegas,  I just can't help but match most of white pieces with black. Anyways, without a doubt this is a full on casual outfit. It was first time to try pick an outfit for platform shoes. Personally I hated this trend, but I decided to give it a try anyways with just buying an inexpensive pair and I surprisingly like them. I mean they're actually comfortable and it wouldn't hurt to add some height, right ?

Meet Steph Ivy!!!
Steph's outfit is perfect for this Vegas weather. The heat is really getting to a lot of people, and sometimes you look in your closet and you don't know what to wear. Well if you have a romper, then you're set! This outfit is great for a casual get together with friends, but it can also pass as an outfit that you can wear to a play. Adding classy looking accessories would make this more dressy than casual. Oh and the shoooeesss!!! The shoes will definitely make it look more casual or dressy.

P.S.
Thanks again for doing this photo shoot. Love ya Steph !!! =D
