All Things Neutral

sources: one // two // three // four // five
Only 17 days until the big move! For those of you who don’t know, I’m moving into my very first big girl apartment ever. I’m still staying in the D.C. area, but I’ll be a lot closer to the city (like, being able to see the Washington Monument close!) I’ve been pinning up a storm lately and getting some serious interior design inspiration. One thing that seems to be a common theme in terms of my pins is neutral decor with very small pops of color or metallics. This is perfect for a renter; even though I am allowed to paint in the new apartment, I really love how clean a white or grey wall looks (and I don’t have to worry about painting the walls back!)

2014 Recap

Wow, 2014 has been quite the interesting year for me! It’s been exciting yet challenging at the same time and I’ve faced a few speed bumps along the way. One important thing I’ve learned this year is that life isn’t always going to go as planned. Your failures do not define you; it’s your reaction to your failures that speak volumes about your character. This is a year that’s really tested me and made me grow up in a number of ways.

I’ve had some amazing people enter my life, and some not so amazing exit my life. In the end, I’m thankful for all of my friends, family and amazing opportunities I’ve been able to take advantage of this year. I’m really looking forward to 2015; I have a feeling it will be my year to shine even brighter! Thank you for being a part of my journey and reading this little blog.

Now, what you’ve all been waiting for…some of my favorite outfits and blog highlights from 2014! I can’t believe how much this blog has grown in the past year. I’ve had a pretty successful 2014, and I have a few big things planned for next year!

My Best Moments Part 2

PHOTOS BY: lisa chiu

Life’s too short to take anything seriously. This includes outfit photos. I’m lucky that my main photog on here happens to be my best friend and we are downright silly when we take outfit photos. About 2 minutes into each shoot, we usually start cracking up and I might start eating, dancing, or yelling (or all three). LIGHTEN UP, IT’S JUST ~FASHION~

Oh, and P.S. I did another blooper post back in 2013. You should totally check that out as well if you’re in need of another laugh!

Tourist?
Life goals: getting Coastal Flats to sponsor a post (NOVA kids, you feel me?)
I was ready for Chipotle

DERRRR

Sometimes you just gotta dance it out.

Because everyone needs a little snack while taking outfit pics, amirite??

I really….don’t know.

Pro tip: don’t try to M.C. Hammertime it out while shooting.

ZOOOOOOOM
