I'm am getting BEYOND stoked for the holiday season. Oh my gosh. 

Halloween decorations everywhere, that feeling of fall approaching, almost less warm weather. I can't wait. There is a bottle of body wash in my shower that thoroughly describes the feeling of Christmas on its label (leave it to philosophy to literally spell out how you should feel when using their products) and let's just say I get really excited when I'm washing my hair re-re-re-reading that bottle.

You should understand that Ive waited 9 months for Christmas to be three months away. 

I think make that calculation every month. 

Thank you to Oasap for my cute, bright and flirty skater skirt!

XOXO,

Michelle

 I've been thinking about about things lately. Simple, tangible objects we surround ourselves with and use constantly in our everyday lives. things that we collect, cherish, forget we have, useless, useful, big, small, old, new things.  They always say things don't matter, but they do. They really do. These are pieces of our lives that we collect throughout the years and each one is connected to a time or a feeling we once had or felt. Things aren't everything, but they are SOMETHING. They are important and sometimes even vital. I'm not very sentimental over objects. I can give away a childhood toy easily or things I simply have no interest in, but everything has meant something, even a small something

That's why we keep boxes of trinkets and papers and charms. I was looking through some jewelry boxes recently and I found my little treasures when when I was young. They were filled with marbles, gemstones, rocks, broken pieces of bracelets, shiny things, and lisa frank stickers. These things were special or pretty enough for me to keep and keep all these years. Whether we see it or not things define a lot of who we are and how we were made that way.

Speaking of "things" thank you to Oasap.com for sending me this delightful cat skirt!

I adore the kitty's vacant stare. It's just the best.

XOXO,

Michelle

90s kid

 Denim circle skirt c/o- Chicnova.com, Urban Outfitters red satchel, H&M sweater, Lulus t-straps

Thank you to Chicnova for sending me this adorably 90s denim skirt! 

As a 90's kid myself its kinda interesting to see all these 90s fashions coming back into style. Denim everything, gellies, overalls, Disney apparel, highwaisted shirt, and shorts, cutoffs, tying a plaid tee around your waist, platforms, grungy sweaters, middle parts, long, wavy-dont-care hair. 

Pretty much everyone has been dressing like a Spice Girl.

 Just go check out lookbook right now. All the 90s trends are sweeping the closets of young women. I've been doing my fair share of watching old Nickelodeon Tv at night too. Hey Arnold, All That, Kenan and Kel, even an episode of The Angry beavers.. which by the way is JUST awful. Its funny how you can go back and watch these shows from your childhood and really see how crappy that always were. By the way have you ever noticed that when people talk about Hey Arnold, they always call the main character Hey Arnold? "Remember when Hey Arnold and Gerald skipped school and totally missed out on the school fun fair day?" "Remember that episode when Hey Arnold always had to pass the ball to Tucker?"

If you didn't understand any of that, chances are you're too young.

XOXO,

Michelle

 highwaisted denim cut offs- Oasap.com, cardigan and punk skirt- Forever 21

Thank you to Oasap for these fun shorts! I'd probably only ever wear them with tights becuase.. well.. they are SHORT. Dang. But they do have these badass studs and they kinda make me feel badass. (Even if they show my ass hah)

I realized that I hardly ever share my photography work on my blog. I think I should start. My work is such a huge part of my day and my life. Most of the photos I share with you guys are of me but not taken by me.

I'm a photographer.. you all remember that right? haha

I think I will start posting some of my recent shoot and see what you think!

Maybe we can talk photography with each other!

:)

XOXO,

Michelle

 Let's fly away in this dress... Thank you Chicwish for sending me this amazing piece!

I feel like I've been very busy and stressed this week working on a big shoot I have this Sunday. But I'm very very stoked to get my new 50mm lens on Friday! Its been over a year since I bought a lens, not to mention a crazy expensive one.(Luckily I don't have to pay rent haha!)

 But the spurge will be work it once I see the images I take with it.

I might even have to retire my 85mm for awhile until I can have a good long play with my new baby!

Prepared for some nifty fifty looks in the future!

XOXO,

Michelle
