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.

alyssa and i visited venice beach, where we people watched and hung around the beach. we walked around a bit, snapping photos, and later left to L.A.'s RAW, an art show for surrounding artists. 

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...

another tally for a hot day. many hours were spent at the immigration office waiting to renew and change my visa status: spousal visa! our marriage was made official on july 8th. 

this wrap dress was purchased yesterday. instead of wearing it as it is intended, i was inspired to wear it open and draped. when pulling together a draped look, make sure to included some fitting pieces; otherwise, should you wear a loose tee with boyfriend jeans, make sure to tie in some sexy pumps or strappy heels to give a good balance.
