Pile It On Me

 So it seems that I'm still getting used to the fact that summer's over. Still slacking on some things... like posting, and haven't been focusing. But I've kept busy for the most part, and that's how I like it. 

I've had a really great past week. I went to two shows - one The Silversun Pickups at the Aragon Ballroom and the other Grizzly Bear at the Riviera, both here in Chicago. Those rocked. Not only that, but I also got the opportunity to model again for the awesome photographer and friend of mine, Keni Omdahl. Here are some photos from the shoot:

You should check out the rest of her work on her Facebook page at Keni Omdahl Photography. Maybe "like" her page. Her beautiful pictures will pop up on your feed. It's a real treat.


And I'll have to make sure to show ya'll the pictures from our last shoot that was in June. I think I like those even better! 

Gonna Make This Insincere

I don't have much to say, but I finally got out of the house and took some pictures on the ol' tripod so I'd have more outfit posts. It was so nice today. It just reminds of how sad I am that summer's coming to and end. Just gotta make the best of it. 

tee - U.S. army shirt - gift from Aunt in army
skirt - dress worn as skirt - thrifted
belt - black braided belt - thrifted
boots - riding boots - gift from grandpa's wife
bag - cheetah bag for $1
gaggle of necklaces and bracelets - all thrifted

Weekend Cluster

I promised outfit pictures with my new shoes, so here they are. Although I've been wearing these babies quite a lot since I've gotten them, here's just one look I managed to get pictures of. More to come though! Aaand here's a picture of me to kick start this post:

All items thrifted except for shoes.

 Weekend casual outfit. Paired with DIY dip-dyed shorts and fishnets.

 

Belated birthday present to my sister and me from a friend.

 DIY shorts. Bleached one half and dyed the other.

Smoked some hookah this weekend. 

 Went down to the city.

 I love my city.

 Had awkward pictures taken of me at the beach.

 And also got followed by this bug.

 I know my posts have not been revolving around fashion as much as I'd hoped lately, but I'll make sure to focus on it more in upcoming posts. That's all for now folks.

JC Arrival

So this is going to be a short post due to the fact that I'm just giving an update about the rest of my birthday. My beautiful Jeffrey Campbell Yuma Fab boots from Solestruck came in the mail yesterday, and I couldn't be any happier with how these shoes look like in real life. The red color, the soft tapestry material that they're made of, the heel, the pointy toe... UGH! Wonderful. I know that this pair of shoes is going to be practically glued to my feet for the rest of the summer. At least! 

 Solestruck - bettering the world with the beauty of their shoes. They're pretty serious about their movement.

 The box.

Even my cat loved the box my shoes came in.

Soon I'll have some outfit pictures because these bad boys can be paired with so much. That's all for now.

Birthday Post

I've definitely been neglecting to post in the past few months despite my resolution to post more often, but I have a new-found excitement for blogging. It must be the wonderful hot weather here in Chicago, but I'm feeling very inspired. Not only that, but I've officially recovered from ankle surgery I had a few months back - no more walking boot for me, so that means WAY MORE OUTFIT POSTS. 

Now, I know this isn't so much about fashion, but I've gotta talk about my birthday some. My twin sister and I had a really awesome day. We went to the Shedd Aqaurium, saw The Dark Knight Rises, and then went up to Evanston to go swimming in the lake late at night. Warning: Lots of pictures.

 I love big cans. Yeah, it's me. Last time you saw me, I was blonde.

 My wonderful friend Zach and my sister Madeline.

 One of my favorite fish at the aquarium.

 So many jellyfish!

 They were literally tangled together. 

 Seadragon.

 Ready for our 4D experience. 

 Reflections.

 Us birthday girls.

 The bakery spelled my name wrong (missing an "i" in Emilia) but oh well.

So, as you can see, I had a splendid birthday. As a gift from my mom, I got a new pair Jeffrey Campbell boots that I've been ogling for over a year now. So coming soon, pictures of the wonderful shoes. :)
