today's shoot went wonderfully. nicosha has photography experience, so i picked up a few pointers, as well as strategies in lighting. we traveled to old town kern and hart park for some urban, as well as nature backgrounds.

On A Campus

top || basic tank 

bottoms || zara 

shoes || fabio rusconi 

visited my old campus. felt very nostalgic, roaming the halls of DDH and floors of the Walter Stern Library. it was quite an adventure wandering for good backgrounds. 

i've had these a-line skorts (skirt&short combination) from zara since last season. they were so incredibly popular i couldn't find the inspiration to wear them. some pieces are super cute, yet trendy that i don't have the desire to style them. by default i store them when they aren't so trendy to wear at an appropriate time. pieces are trendy for a reason. but who says you have to wear them when they are...

me:

top || diesel 

playsuit || finderskeepers

shoes || asos 

jesse&callie:

thift-store-holics.

these girls have a very unique style. to describe their style would be to say a cowboy and a punk clashed to create such a casually cool ensemble. 

we ventured to the land of the four seasons. being that jesse knows tons of cool settings, she lead us on our adventure. the first few photos were taken in an empty canal. from there we traveled to mountain park with lots of trails, great for hikes. although i didn't dress appropriately, i just removed my shoes to hike barefoot. our last stop was downtown. tehachapi's downtown is so quaint, and i really had a great time with these girls and this shoot. 

enjoy.

HYPE

shirt dress || hype (asos) 

shoes || converse 

we took a family trip to okinawa. we traveled east to hamahiga island where we stayed at 413 hotel&cafe. it was designed by miki's dad. it's a small hotel sitting right on the beach. with only 6 rooms, it was a lovely stay with warm-hearted staff. 

it was so hot that wearing a bathing suit is ideal, but didn't feel entirely comfortable walking around in only a swimsuit, so i packed along this piece i purchased from asos. a perfect piece for tropical weather.

i love okinawa!
