opposites attract

(sweater & skirt: g.u.; booties: Madewell)

Makeup by Niki Medina

Here are a few more shots from the photo shoot in Toyosu. I never thought leather could be coordinated with something so fluffy, but it somehow worked. For this second look, the makeup artist and I were deciding how to arrange my hair, but we ended up leaving it alone. Meanwhile, the sun was setting, so the photographer had to quickly snap these few shots. Ended up turning out nicely, though. I don't think I've ever had photos taken in natural light with such a clean, bright background. Love it.

Have a great Friday everyone!

Love,

there is a place in the distance

(Outfit 1- shirt: Uniqlo; vintage jacket: Levi's; pants: Le Ciel Bleu;

(Outfit 2 - sweater & skirt: g.u.; booties: Madewell)

I was so excited to receive the final images from my photo shoot with Kidperez Photography last weekend. We did two different looks, but I would have to say my favorite is the first one. I've been wanting to do a boyish look but with a touch of feminine (with the makeup and the pink flannel). So a huge thank you to my photographer for letting me do this! For the second look, my makeup artist Niki wanted to do a Barbie-inspired look, hence the girly outfit. I love this fluffy white sweater from g.u. - so soft and easy to pair with a skirt or pants.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a good week!

Been listening to Madeon almost non-stop these days... <3
