MISSGUIDED TAKEOVER: KNIT MEETS SUEDE

knit meets suede

They don’t call it a takeover for nothing.

Everything that I have on is from Missguided (well minus the choker and bag). I am so obsessed with this look you babes have no idea. The knit and suede combo screams fall and upcoming winter weather in the best way. I could just melt because the wine red of this sweater is everything fall and winter embodies. This sweater is the perfect amount of slouch without falling off your shoulders in an uncontrollable way. It’s versatility is what I love the most! It can be paired with just about any bottoms — depending of course on your mood.

COMFY AND COZY VIBES

comfy and cozy

Hi babes! There’s no good morning this time around because unfortunately, it’s not a good morning.

I woke up with the freaking flu. Can you believe that?! Gosh. I feel so horrible you guys. How is it that less than 24 hours ago, I was sipping margs with my good girlfriend and stuffing myself with enchiladas. It was all good less than 12 hours ago, literally. Everything hurts and I’m currently wrapped up burrito style, trying to keep warm (it’s actually 81 degrees in my bedroom, but who can tell? Surely not me.)

AN OPEN LETTER TO MY 16 YR OLD SELF

open letter

Hi Thelma, also fondly known as Thelms. You’ve only just read the first couple of words and you’re already so eager to find out who this is from. As we speak you’re trying to scan through the letter to get the gist of whether it ends good or bad. You have always been so eager and impatient.

STOP. Don’t scroll through. Just meet me back here at the top of this letter because I can promise you, you will not want to miss what I have to say. After all, this is all about you. In all your 16 year-old glory, whatever that means. Don’t worry about who’s writing this to you, because it’s you. Just six years older. There’s so much I want to tell you.

ANKARA FABRIC: THE CULTURE + HISTORY BEHIND IT

Hi bbs and hello Friday! Whoop. Can you believe that it’s already the end of the work week?! I know I can’t especially this week becaaaaause… *cues the drumroll. MY BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW y’all. I wasn’t as excited a few weeks ago, but I sure am now. I feel like everyone says they’re not excited for their birthday, until it’s the day before and then you’re about to shit yourself with excitement. Go figure. My good girlfriends from school are coming into town and I have no idea what they have planned for me, but I’m sure it’s going to be a good time. P.S. be on the lookout for a new post tomorrow! I’m turning 22 and figured what better way to commemorate that than writing a letter to my younger self (Thelms at 16 yay!).

SILK + LACE

Hello bbs! It’s the middle of the week. Whoop! Whoop!

As peeps everywhere shove politics down your throat today over the new President elect, I want to be you bbs refuge… your escape when you’ve had enough of all that. What’s done is done, and there’s no changing it. Whether you were pro Hillary or pro Trump, the mass majority has made a decision. The people have spoken. All we can do is pray to God, to help us all live in love and act on peace. So there’s that. On a lighter, less controversial note — today’s shoot day!
