Photo Adventure: Valentine's Day Photo shoot

Self-Portrait Project 5/52_Flowers

I know I've been MIA.

But I'll be back soon.

Here's week #5 of my project.

Fashion 4 A Cause Campaign

A week ago I was getting ready to walk down the runway with 20 other South Florida bloggers. As I sit here and reflect on this past week, I can help but be thankful for the opportunity. Not only did I feel extremely special (getting my hair & Make up done) but I also met so many beautiful & friendly fashion bloggers. We all united for one great cause, and I only hope we were able to raise a lot of money for such a great cause. 

You can check out my first post about the campaign here (+video)

Shout out to my mom who drove with me the night before to pick out my outfit. Since we were allowed to try on and wear anything in the entire store (right? a girl's dream), it took me a while to choose my final outfit.

I went with this outfit because it stayed true to my style and it was something people could find at any store to wear with the shirt (which was the item we were really highlighting and "selling.")

Although my outfit was a grand total of $486 (not counting the shirt or my shoes). I believe you can truly put together a similar look at a more affordable price.

Self-Portraits 1

Lately I've been wanting to challenge myself photography wise. I've been reading up a lot, doing research, and looking at amazing photographers. I've been inspired by so many awesome photographers. Last night I decided to try my first "out of the house" self portrait. So I woke up at 7:30 in the morning, got dressed, and headed out to the unknown (haha). Besides the awkwardness of cars possibly seeing you and the silence of being alone...the adventure was fun! Very challenging but rewarding as well. 

Here are a few of my favorite photographers who have mastered the art of self portraits: Ashley Jensen&Vivian Maier

Friends + Fashion: Rosany

Rosany is the sweetest and most humble person I know. She always has something sweet to say! It's contagious! One of the many reasons why I love Rosany's style is because it is very simple & laid back. Not only does she rock the jean vest look (which everyone already knows that I love) but I also love how she can pull this look together in two seconds and still look perfect.
 She cut her hair a few months ago, and her new do looks amazing! If only I could rock the short hair like she does! 

Thanks Rosany for having awesome style!
