Black//white//night lights

the lighting behind work was p e r f e c t for a night time pic. My awesome co worker snapped this for me.

 The hunt for this sleeveless blazer (by Everly) was a journey so when I found it at Island Passage I knew it was mine! It’s the perfect piece to throw on with any denim pant, shorts or a dress. I love a good staple piece that can transition your look. I decided to keep with standard with high rise pants, a black basic and my fav vintage belt with silver detailing. Found at The Wondershop! 

  

Snow White in NC

snow white 9 snow white 1 snow white 10

This mini series was so much fun. North Carolina doesn’t get THAT much snow, but this year we got 8 inches and I wanted to take advantage of it so while I was driving home from work I suddenly had some inspiration to do a Snow White shoot with my room mate. Bless her heart for baring the below freezing temps for this but I was very pleased with the outcome! I bought this For Love and Lemons dress for certain event (thankfully I already wore it) and knew it would be perfect for my spin on Snow White in NC. Anyways, I was proud of these photos considering my passion for photography became lost when it slowly became a job so it kinda of got kicked to the curb for awhile.

When He shuts one door, He opens another

Yesterday morning I was woke up to some pretty negative news, and my immediate reaction was to get upset. I had to stop myself and pray about it because when God shuts one door, He opens an even better door. Though it’s hard to see the light through the darkness, I know from first hand experience that He will provide. All my closed doors have resulted in something better than I could imagine.  I took the time to venture around Durham and take in its beautiful character. Not only that, but I found a coffee shop called Cocoa Cinnamon. BEST latte ever, just saying! Right now, I am giving it to Him and trusting in God! Let’s talk about how cute this heart is?!  

 

an // o v e r a l l // series

I wish I could stock up on every kind of overall out there, but for now my closet holds these three beauties. Overalls themselves are a //statement// so I try not to go overboard with accessories, but always, always have a good pair of shoes on.

It was love at first sight with these green BB Dakota overalls. I had to do a printed heel with these boyfriend fit overalls. Cheetah & snake prints are a weakness of mine.

shout out to Dolce Vita for my favorite sandals and their amazing-ness.  back to the overall game...Dropped one of the straps to my black coated overalls for a street style look. Denim button up wrapped around my waist. Keep it simple sometimes

rainy days are causal days

here we go with the DEATS. I couldn't help myself when i found  this graphic tank, which is a weakness of mine.  These BlankNYC high waisted pants are my favorite because i destroyed them myself and cut them to be crop. I think we can all agree a denim button up saves everyone. www.roxy.com www.blanknyc.com www.urbanoutfitters.com
