The Back-to-School Carnival

Welcome to my back-to-school carnival. I used this fun opportunity to take a few shots for the blog!

So I've been in school for seven days now and it's already been crazy. I am sorry for my lack of posts, from balancing school (I'm in 5 AP classes this year) to practicing for cross country and track I find myself really busy and it's been hard to make posts recently. But I promise I will be doing some school OOTD's very soon so keep a look out for those. Last night was the back-to-school carnival and if you haven't already noticed something different yet in these pictures... I HAVE A TATTOO! I think it's pretty obvious that it's not real, it's actually a henna tattoo which was one of the booths that we had at our carnival and one of my highlights of my night. Well of course that and being able to have fun with all of my friends. So here is a simple outfit that I put together for this first dance of the school year. This was a fun outfit that I was comfortable dancing and moving around in all day! 

• Denim Jacket- Calvin Klein 
• Flamingo Pocket Tank- Bershka (courtesy of my family in the Philippines, unfortunately we don't have a Bershka here in the U.S)
• Black Chinos- PacSun

Trail Following

Hey readers! Sorry I haven't been posting recently, I've just been really busy enjoying my last days of summer and finishing my summer assignments because school is about to start for me! Anyways this is just another look I threw together when I did my first shoot with Miko Aquino. One thing that I thought was pretty funny was we took these photos in a park and there were actual families with children walking up and down the trail while we were taking photos. Everyone who walked by just looked at us funny, maybe they thought we were famous? Haha probably not, they probably thought we were just weird. I guess I should expect that when I am taking pictures in the future but I just found it amusing to think about and just thought it would be fun to share. This is another casual look, something I would probably wear to school or even something outdoors-y if it weren't too hot outside. Quick tip: I've been actually getting into wearing bandanas for some odd reason but I really enjoy using them as something to make my outfit look different. In this post I just folded the bandana up into a strip so I could tie it along my forehead.

• Chambray Button Down- JCPenney
• Striped Shirt- Cotton On
• Shorts- Gap
• Shoes- Toms
• Backpack: Herschel Supply & Co.

School is starting next week so I am going to be busy, but I will do my best to continue to update my blog when I can. Glad to hear that people are following my blog and check it for new posts daily! Thanks for all the support!

Aztec Details

When thinking of my first outfit to feature on my blog I wasn't quite sure on where to start. So I just went with a look for a summer day out. Aztec print has always fascinated me with its intricate details and design. I personally think it is just fun to wear and look at it general. The hood and tank top both have a similar print and complement each other very well. This is a very casual look that can be worn both out in nature or in the streets of downtown LA. Quick tip if you aren't wanting to look too casual and want to one up your outfit I recommend throwing on a denim jacket of some sort. If you don't have one, go out and get one because they are definitely worth your investment! They are easy to match with any outfit and tend to give any look a new edge. 

• Denim Jacket- 21 Men
• Tank top- Cotton On
